In fungi, meiotic drive is observed as spore killing. In the secondarily homothallic ascomycete Podospora anserina it is characterized by the abortion of two of the four spores in the ascus. We have identified seven different types of meiotic drive elements (Spore killers). Among 99 isolates from nature, six of these meiotic drive elements occurred in a local population. Spore killers comprise 23% of the natural population of P. anserina in Wageningen, The Netherlands, sampled from 1991 to 1997. One Spore-killer type was also found in a French strain dating from 1937. All other isolates found so far are sensitive to spore killing. All seven Spore killer types differ in the percentage of asci that show killing and in their mutual interactions. Interactions among Spore killer types showed either mutual resistance or dominant epistasis. Most killer elements could be assigned to linkage group III but are not tightly linked to the centromere.
