GENETIC AND COMPLEMENTATION STUDIES OF A NEW CAROTENOID MUTANT OFNEUROSPORA CRASSA

Abstract
A spontaneously occurring mutant called "yellow b" has been isolated and mapped on the right arm of linkage group I in Neurospora crassa 0.15 cross over units distal to aurescent and 2 cross over units distal to albino-2. These 2 markers complement each other and are involved in the same biosynthetic pathway.
