Genes involved in meiosis and sporulation of a yeast

Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

300 mutants blocked in meiosis or sporulation were isolated in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and grouped by complementation tests, linkage studies and cytological observation. In total, 5 genes pertaining to meiosis and 18 genes necessary for sporulation could be identified. In addition, a gene participating in dissolution of the separating walls during cell fusion was detected.
