Three tests for shared allelic specificities in the B incompatibility factor of Schizophyllum commune

Abstract

The incompatibility factors of Schizophyllum commune are each composed of two loci. Several authors have suggested that one locus arose as a duplication of the other, implying that the two loci of a factor have at least one allele in common. Three tests for the detection of such shared specificities in one incompatibility factor are presented here. The data indicate that no alleles are shared by the two loci composing this factor.
