  1. Neurospora crassa is a genus of fungus that exhibits a phenomenon called Sk-3 spore killing. Sk-3 spore killing occurs when an Sk-3 killer strain mates with an Sk-3 sensitive strain, and it results in the death of half of the offspring. A DNA interval called i350, located on N. crassa Chromosome III, has previously been identified as critical for spore killing. Here, to obtain a more detailed understanding of this DNA interval, the effects of the deletion of related DNA intervals i386 and i408 on spore killing has been studied. Deletion of i386 resulted in no disruption of spore killing while deletion of i408 disrupted spore killing. These results provide a better understanding of the DNA sequences required for the spore killing process.
