Abstrakt: Ascospore progenies from two crosses between a wild single-ascospore strain and two mutants of Phaeosphaeria nodorum were obtained in vitro. Cultural characters, sensitivity to carbendazim (MBC), nitrate utilization, mating type, esterase zymograms and aggressiveness of these progenies and parents were compared and differences were detected between the ascospores. The single-ascospore strains from each single ascus could always be grouped into four pairs using a combination of markers. Recombinations were observed between nitrate non-utilizing phenotype and mating type or esterase patterns for one cross. For the other cross, recombinations between MBC resistance and esterase patterns were detected. The values of aggressiveness in each progeny were distributed along a wide range confirming the polygenic character of aggressiveness in P. nodorum. No close relationship was observed between in vitro conidiogenesis, the intensity of leaf necrosis and the fertile pycnidia production on leaf lesions.
