Evidence of parasexual exchange of DNA in the rice blast fungus challenges its exclusive clonality
We applied DNA markers to determine whether parasexual recombination may contribute to the extreme genetic diversity and variability observed in Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of rice blast disease. Dispersed repetitive elements and mapped, low-copy restriction fragment length polymorphism (RF...
