TABLE 1.
Strains | % Mating pairs | % Viable progeny |
---|---|---|
Wild type × wild type | 84 | 70 |
Wild type × TtSMC4 mic−/− mutant | 81 | 69 |
TtSMC4 mic−/− mutant × TtSMC4 mic−/− mutant | 88 | 0 |
Mating of heterokaryons with wild-type strains produced a similar number of progeny as a wild-type mating. Mating of two TtSMC4 mic−/− heterokaryons did not produce viable progeny.
