A mycelium that contains two or more genetically different nuclear types.
A fungal stage that contains nuclei of different genotypes.
A cell containing more than one genetically different nuclei. Naturally occurs in fungi as long as their fungal (heterokaryon) incompatibility types are identical (see also dikaryotic).
a cell containing two (or more) nuclei in a common cytoplasm, generated by fusing somatic cells
Cell with two or more different nuclei as a result of cell fusion. Opposite: homokaryon.
(n) A cell with protoplasts are derived from different parental cell types
A cell with more than one nucleus formed by the fusion of two or more cells (usually of different species).
A cell possessing two or more genetically different nuclei m a common cytoplasm, usually derived as a result of cell-to-cell fusion.
A cell that contains genetically different nuclei or a thallus made up of such cells. ( 15)
A heterokaryon is a cell that contains multiple, genetically different nuclei. A cell with two separate nuclei formed by the experimental fusion of two genetically different cells. (A medical example is a heterokaryon composed of nuclei from Hurler syndrome and Hunter syndrome.
