Heterokaryosis and diploid formation among Brazilian isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina

Abstract: Heterokaryosis is the association of genetically distinct nuclei in a common hyphal cytoplasm, and is a process involved in the generation of fungal variation. The fusion of the distinct nuclei within a heterokaryotic hypha produces a heterozygous diploid nucleus and is one of the stages of the parasexual cycle. A heterokaryon's viability depends on the isolates’ genetic constitution with regard to loci called het (heterokaryon incompatibility) or vic (vegetative incompatibility). The current study evaluates f… Show more

“…These models have been used to describe the population structure of plant pathogens with mixed modes of reproduction or inferred recombination ( Grünwald and Hoheisel, 2006 ; Milgroom et al, 2014 ; 2016 ; Milgroom, 2015 ). While little is known about the occurrence of recombination in M. phaseolina , recent studies have started to shed light on potential recombination mechanisms involving parasexuality ( Pereira et al, 2018 ) and horizontal gene transfer mediated by giant mobile genetic elements ( Gluck-Thaler et al, 2022 ). Whether other potential recombination mechanisms occur, and the frequency of recombination in M. phaseolina remains an important and exciting area of study.…”

“…Heterokaryons and nonmeiotic recombinants were inoculated in different culture media: (a) sodium nitrate‐low medium (basal medium, BM): 1,000 ml distilled H 2 O; 10 g sucrose; 2 g NaNO 3 ; 1 g KH 2 PO 4 ; 0.5 g MgSO 4 ·7 H 2 O; 0.5 g KCl; 10 mg FeSO 4 ·7 H 2 O; 15 g agar; 0.2 ml trace element solution (95 ml distilled H 2 O; 5 g citric acid; 1 g Fe(NH 4 ) 2 (SO 4 ) 2 ·6 H 2 O; 0.25 g CuSO 4 ·5 H 2 O; 50 mg MnSO 4 ·H 2 O; 50 mg H 3 BO 3 ; and 50 mg Na 2 MoO 4 ·2 H 2 O); (b) sodium nitrate‐rich medium (minimal medium, MM): 1,000 ml distilled H 2 O; 10 g glucose, 6 g NaNO 3 ; 0,52 g KCl; 1.52 g KH 2 PO 4 ; 0.52 g MgSO 4· 7 H 2 O; 2 mg FeSO 4· 7 H 2 O; 1 mg ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O; 1 mg CuSO 4 ·5 H 2 O; 15 g agar; (c) selective medium (SM) consisting of MM supplemented with nutritional requirements of the crossing strains with the omission of one of them, in each type of medium; (d) complete medium (CM) . A. nidulans 's master strains used to form heterokaryons and the nonmeiotic recombinants obtained from such heterokaryons are described in Table S1.…”

“…Furthermore, errors may occur during mitotic divisions of the diploid nucleus, causing sequential losses of chromosomes previously present in the two copies, and resulting in the production of recombinant haploid nuclei. The sequence of events that yield such recombinant nuclei constitutes the parasexual cycle that provides an effective pathway to increase genetic variability in fungi, especially those with no sexual cycle .…”
