Vegetative Compatibility and Hypovirulence Conversion in Endothia Parasitica: State of the Art

ABSTRACT.--This paper reviews the recent work on vegetative compatibility(v-c) in Endothia parasitica and relates v-c to hypovirulence conversion. Endothia parasitica has at least 128 v-c groups but hypovirulence conversion is not as limited as vegetative compatibility. For example, seven isolates with hypovirulence from four v-c groups converted isolates from38 of 48 v-c groups tested. Recent evidence indicates that at least some alleles for v-c have a quantitative rather than a qualitative effect.
