Abstract

The bisexual heterothallic ascomycete Gibberella pulicaris (anamorph=Fusarium sambucinum) is an important trichothecene-producing plant pathogen that has been used to study the genetics of trichothecene synthesis and pathogenicity by analysis of naturally occurring variants. To obtain additional useful natural variants, 53 strains, identified as F. sambucinum, were tested for their ability to make trichothecenes and to form fertile crosses. Eight new fertile strains were identified. These eight strains, plus 40 of the nonfertile strains, made detectable trichothecenes in liquid shake culture (...)
