Abstract
Characteristics and natural occurrence of these mating groups were compared in live and dead sorghum plants. Mating group A isolates belonged to G. fujikuroi var. moniliformis and D to G. fujikuroi var. intermedia. The fungal groups were isolated from 40-, 60-, 80- and >80-d-old plants, and also from anthers, seeds, and dead and lab. dried stalks. Isolates in group D differed from those in group A in colony morphology, mating type behaviour, sexuality, crossability and tissue preference. Group D was more abundant in senescent and dead plants, as well as in lab. dried plants and anthers. Group A was prevalent in live and nonsenescent plants and seed. Both groups were found occurring together in nature on maize and sorghum plants and seemed to be sympatric but reproductively isolated
