Through a series of backcrosses the centromere region of linkage group I of Neurospora crassa was transferred to the N. sitophila genome, and through another series of backcrosses the centromere region of linkage group I of N. sitophila was transferred to N. crassa. Strains thus synthesized showed, in further crosses, that the N. sitophila centromere region acts as a dominant enhancer of cross-over frequencies across linkage group I of the two species.
