Allorecognition triggers autophagy and subsequent necrosis in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus.

Transitory fusion is an allorecognition phenotype displayed by the colonial hydroid Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus when interacting colonies share some, but not all, loci within the allorecognition gene complex (ARC). The phenotype is characterized by an initial fusion followed by subsequent cell dea...
