Abstract
Amoebae of the acellular slime mold P. polycephalum convert to plasmodia asexually and sexually. Genetic analysis of a mutant that exhibits enhanced asexual plasmodium formation is reported. The mutant carries a single lesion (gad-11) located 12.3 map units from mt, a gene that controls mating specificity in sexual plasmodium formation. The mutation, which was isolated in an mt3 strain, is also expressed in mth and mt4 strains.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
