Abstract
UV irradiation of diploid conidia ofAspergillus nidulans induces mitotic recombination within thepaba 1 region. The frequency of this UV-induced intragenic recombination is enhanced if a short period of incubation in a non-selective medium precedes plating of irradiated conidia in a selective medium.
