Abstract

Angehrn and Gutz (1968) have shown that homozygosity for the mat1-M allele in diploid strains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe increases mitotic recombination between his7 and mat2. In this paper, we report that meiotic recombination frequencies can vary from 3.4 to 16.1 percent between his7 and his2 and that this variation is due to the combination of alleles at the mat1 and mat2 loci.
