Morphogenesis in Schizophyllum commune

III. A mutation that blocks initiation of fruiting

Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune, a mutation in a locus coh-1 prevents the formation of cohensive masses of hyphae and thus precludes the development of fruiting bodies. The mutation does not interfere with dikaryosis. coh-1 - is recessive to its wild-type allele and is unlinked to either the B factor or to the modifying mutation M14.
