Wolbachia Infection and Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Drosophila Species [PDF]
Abstract Forty-one stocks from 30 Drosophila species were surveyed for Wolbachia infection using PCR technology. D. sechellia and two strains of D. auraria were found to be infected and were tested for the expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility, along with D. ananassae and D.

Induced Paternal Effects Mimic Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Drosophila [PDF]
Abstract Wolbachia is an intracellular microbe found in a wide diversity of arthropod and filarial nematode hosts. In arthropods these common bacteria are reproductive parasites that manipulate central elements of their host's reproduction to increase their own maternal transmission in one of several ways. Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI)

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer is dependent on compatible mitochondrial DNA and reprogramming factors [PDF]
Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) involves the transfer of a nucleus or cell from one species into the cytoplasm of an enucleated oocyte from another.

Vegetative incompatibility and potential involvement of a mycovirus in the Italian population of Geosmithia morbida [PDF]
Studies carried out during an Italian outbreak of the Thousand Cankers Disease of walnut, demonstrated that non-coalescing cankers on host plants, separated by equidistant uninfected zones, were associated with incompatible strains of Geosmithia morbida.

Arthropods harbor heritable intracellular symbionts that may manipulate host reproduction to favor symbiont transmission. In cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), the symbiont sabotages the reproduction of infected males such that high levels of offspring ...

Experimental hybridization and reproductive isolation between two sympatric species of tephritid fruit flies in the Anastrepha fraterculus species group [PDF]
Among tephritid fruit flies, hybridzation has been found to produce local adaptationand speciation, and in the case of pest species, induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest management. The fraterculus species

Vegetative Incompatibility and Cytoplasmic Infection in Fungi [PDF]
SUMMARY: The effect of vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility on the transfer of a suppressive cytoplasmically determined condition, vegetative death, from carrier to normal strains of Aspergillus amstelodami has been investigated. Cytoplasmic transfer was reduced to 15% by vegetative incompatibility compared with 100% transfer in compatible ...
