Abstract Spore killers are meiotic drive elements that can block the development of sexual spores in fungi. In maize ear rot and mycotoxin-producing fungus Fusarium verticillioides, a spore killer called SkK has been mapped to 102-kb interval chromosome V. Here, we show gene within this interval, SKC1, is required for SkK-mediated killing drive. We also demonstrate SKC1 associated with at least 4 transcripts, 2 sense (sense-SKC1a sense-SKC1b) antisense (antisense-SKC1a antisense-SKC1b). Both...
Fusarium verticillioides is an agriculturally important fungus because of its association with maize and propensity to contaminate grain toxic compounds. Some isolates the harbor a meiotic drive element known as Spore killer (Sk(K)) that causes nearly all surviving progeny from Sk(K) × killer-susceptible (Sk(S)) cross inherit allele. has been mapped chromosome V but genetic responsible for yet be identified. In this study, we used cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence markers genotype...
