The use of heterokaryons to determine the origin of the ascogeneous nuclei in Neurospora crassa

  • Published:
Genetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

By crossing artificially produced heterokaryons with the wild type and recording the ascospore cultures coming from individual perithecia, it has been shown that the nuclei of the ascogeneous hyphae come from several initial pairs.
