Abstract
Seven UV-induced and 15 wild white (w) strains were involved in 24 crosses to assign the wild w mutations to 1 of 3 complementation regions in the complex w locus. The low frequency of crosses yielding bisectored teliospore colonies or pink disomic segregants, indicating complementation, precluded assigning many of the 15 wild w mutations to a specific complementation region. Apparently, many of the wild w mutations are deficiencies rather than nucleotide substitutions or frameshifts.
