Abstract
- Mutants resistant to two fungicides, chloroneb (1,4-dichloro-2,5-dimethoxybenzene) and vitavax (2,3-dihydro-5-carboxanilido-6-methyl-1,4-oxathiin) were spontaneously obtained from a strain of Aspergillus nidulans with frequencies of 12.5 and 1.1 respectively, in 10(8) conidia. One chloroneb-resistant mutant (Chl 1) segregated as a single gene and was mapped in linkage group IV. It also caused a partial dependence of the strain on the fungicide and was semi-dominant. The mutant resistant to vitavax (Vit 1) also segregated as a single gene and was dominant. Both fungicides altered the instability of diploid and duplication strains. Chloroneb mainly increased haploidization, and vitavax reduced the mitotic recombination in diploids. Chloroneb increased the instability of duplication strains, and vitavax reduced such instability. The possible mode of action of such fungicides affecting stability is discussed.
