Summary In Podospora anserina, positive and very efficient chiasma interference is observed. However, its modalities are different for the two linkage groups 1 (LG1) and 6 (LG6) studied here. In the right arm of LG1, two zones exist in which always occurs only one crossing-over. They are formed independently each other. Moreover, the genetic map consists of clusters of genes located near the centromere and at the limit between the two interference zones. It is postulated that this structure of the map results from the localization of crossing-over in the middle of each zone. We suppose that the type of chiasma interference, in Podospora, is a typical one as it is in Drosophila. It seems that both these phenomena are under common genetical control. In the LG6, we observe a weaker positive chiasma interference without crossing-over localization.
