I2, incompatible transformants with an LGR of 1 to 2.5 cm/day showing ∼20 to 30% HCD; I3, severely incompatible transformants with an LGR of <1 cm/day showing 20 to 30% HCD; C, fully compatible transformants with an LGR of 4 to 6.5 cm/day with <1% HCD.
Transformation results (39) and analysis of partial diploid progeny (24) indicate that strain FGSC2193 has a recessive allele-specific suppressor for het-c incompatibility. FGSC2193 and C9-2 are not isogenic strains and probably differ not only in het genotype but also at a large number of other loci that may affect the morphological phenotype associated with het-c vegetative incompatibility.
