  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A mutation (ff-1) which specifically destroys the ability to develop protoperithecia was found in Neurospora crassa. This mutation causes no change in vegetative morphology. It is located between arg-5 and try-3 on the right arm of linkage group II.
