To obtain hybrids producing antagonisms and plant growth promoting effects by intergeneric nuclei transfer, the nuclei were isolated from the protoplasts of Trichoderma harzianum T95 and treated with colchicine. The nuclei were tranferred into protoplast of multi-auxotrophic Gliocladium virens G88 which cannot grow in minimal medium. The nuclei tranferred into protoplasts of G. virens G88 were selected on the regeneration minimal medium containing chloroneb as a haploid inducer. Low transfer frequency of 0.08% was observed with three chemical treatment, however no segregants were found in the intergeneric nuclei transfer. The various types of hybrids with different morphology were detected when different concentration of chloroneb were treated. These morphologies were classified as parental, recombinant and petite type.

Transfer of the isolated nuclei from Lentinus edodes into protoplasts of Pleurotus florida was induced with polyethlene glycol (PEG) and $CaCl_2$. The intergeneric transfer products were classified into nuclear hybrid, heterokaryon or synkaryon, and reconstituted cell. These progenies except nuclear hybrids formed mature fruiting bodies on sawdust rice bran medium. Formation of fruit bodies was influenced by several factors such as light, temperature, nutrition and physic state of the culture media. Most of fruiting body characters were similar to those of P. florida in synkaryon and L. edodes in reconstituted cell, respectively. All these basidiocarps had clamp connections though initial heterokaryon colonies were lacking. Isozyme patterns of intergeneric progenies were quite different from those of parents. DNA polymorphisms of transfer products were also compared by random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPD) analysis based on polymerase chain reaction. The RAPD patterns were different from those of donor and recipient. DNA fingerprints ranged in size from 0.25 to 4.0 Kb. On the basis of RAPD, the transfer products were classified into five groups. Two synkaryon were analysed with distribution of progenies and segregation of genetic markers by random spore analyses. The genetic markers were segregated into wild type and riboflavine requiring auxotrophs.

Intergeneric hybrids between Saccharomyccopsis fiburigera KCTC 7393 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 7049 (tyr-, ura-) were obtained by nuclear transfer technique. Nuclei isolated from the wild type S. fiburigera strain were transfered into auxotrophic S. cerevisiae mutants and new strains showing an increased starch degrading capability were selected. Maximum production of protoplasts was obtained from the treatment with 0.1 % Novozym 234 at $30^{\circ}C$ for 90 min, and most effective osmotic stabilizer for the isolation of protoplasts was 0.6 M KCl at pH 5.8. The frequency of protoplast regeneration was 14.64% under the conditions. Genectic stability, conidial size, DNA content, and nuclear stain suggested that the fusants were aneuploidy. The specific activity of ${\alpha}-amylase$ was observed to increase about $1.2{\sim}1.9$ folds.

lntergeneric hybrids formed between Aspergillus niger and Penicillium verruculosum were obtained by nuclear transfer technique. Nuclei isolated from wild type and auxotrophic mutants of donor strains were transferred into the protoplasts of different auxotrophic mutants as recipient strains. Several auxotrophic mutants were isolated from conidiospores of the two strains mutagenized with ultraviolet and N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine. Optimal conditions for formation of intergeneric hybrids were investigated. Frequencies of intergeneric hybrid formation by nuclear transfer were $7{\times}10^{5}~1{\times}10^{5}$. From observations of genetic stability. DNA content. nuclear stain and conidial size. it was suggested that their karyotypes are aneuploid. In addition. the hybrids possess the 1.1~2.3-fold higher cellulase activities than those of parental strains. It was also revealed that some hybrids had different isozyme patterns compared to those of parental strains by CMCase and $\beta$-glucosidase activity assays.
