Abstract:EiVTURIA inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the ascomycetous pathogen of apple scab, Yhas been shown to have adaptations similar to the eight-spored Neurospora species for use in genetic analyses (KEITT and LANGFORD 1941;SHAY and KEITT 1945;KEITT et al. 1948;BOONE and KEITT 1956). I t has, in addition, two very important advantages over Neurospora: 1) I t is pathogenic and can be studied in vivo; and 2) it is uninucleate in its vegetative stage and, thus, is free from the confounding effects of heterocaryosis.
