Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Gibberella fujikuroi was abundant among stalk rot fungi in naturally infected corn plants
- Observation Numerous phenotypically different isolates of F. moniliforme were recovered from corn
- Observation Some isolates formed heterokaryons more frequently in a given corn growth stage
- Observation Component homokaryons differed in sporulation
- Observation Ratios of two homokaryons were balanced in the four major heterokaryons
- Observation Different heterokaryons predominated at different growth stages of corn, indicating preferential adaptation
