Drawing the line: Clarifying fungal allorecognition from HET domains to het genes to heterokaryon incompatibility

The iconic networks of filamentous fungi are connected through hyphal fusions. While fusion is beneficial among hyphae from the same fungal individual, fusion between individuals (i.e., heterokaryon formation) risks infection by parasites or pathogens. Across fungi, multiple sets...
