Abstract
This is the first report of induction of haploidization inAspergillus nidulans by chloral hydrate, which is an efficient polyploidizing agent for higher plants and a psychotropic drug for man. A new procedure has been described to isolate haploids from diploids with a very high frequency, as compared top-fluorophenylalanine, which is generally used for this purpose.Keywords
