Abstract
A spontaneous mutation conferring white plasmodial colour on the Myxomycete Physarum polycephalum has been analysed. The mutant whi-1 allele is recessive to whi+ in both heterokaryotic and heterozygous plasmodia. The whi locus is unlinked to mt, npfA, fusA and leu.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
