title: Vegetative incompatibility in filamentous fungi: Podospora and Neurospora provide some clues.
abstract: In filamentous fungi, vegetative cell fusion between genotypically distinct individuals leads to a cell-death reaction known as vegetative or heterokaryon incompatibility. Genes involved in this reaction have been characterised molecularly. We can now begin to get a better understanding of the mechanism and the biological significance of this intriguing phenomenon.
