Abstract: | To prepare homologous DNA fragments as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers, the genes encoding phenol oxidase, chitinase, and xylanase were amplified from genomic DNA of Rosellinia necatrix strains. RFLP analysis using the amplified DNA fragments as probe was carried out, with segregation of the markers among two sets of F1 progenies isolated from an independent perithecium. RFLP was frequently found using rpo1 as the RFLP marker among strains of R. necatrix, which was isolated from single ascospores and the circumference of the perithecium. In each set, RFLPs of some F1 progenies were different from that of the parent strain. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) also revealed that several strains, which were of different genotypes from the parent strain, were contained in the single ascospore culture isolated from the same perithecium. From these results, it is suggested that another strain, which was genetically different, was required for mating and development of the ascus in R. necatrix. Therefore, the life cycle in R. necatrix was presumed to be heterothallism. This is the first report about a heterothallic life cycle in R. necatrix. |
