Abstract

In a study on the compatibility among different isolates ofCochliobolus heterostrophus Drechsler in India. 17 isolates were studied for their morphology, growth and sporulation. Of these, 8 isolates acquired from seven States of the country showing morphological and cultural differences among themselves, were selfed and mated in all possible combinations. Out of 36 (8 selfed and 28 crossed) crosses only 14 produced perithecia. Crosses also differed as regards the number of perithecia produced.

Isolates were found to be self sterile but cross fertile. Further the 8 isolates were placed in two arbitrary compatibility group A and a. Only inter-group fertility was noted.
