Ward, E. W. B., and K. W. Ciurysek. (Canada Department of Agriculture, Edmonton, Alberta.) Somatic mitosis in Neurospora crassa. Amer. Jour. Bot. 49(4): 393–399. Illus. 1962.—The process of nuclear division in the vegetative mycelium of Neurospora crassa was studied with the aid of the HCl‐Giemsa staining technique. Division followed the conventional mitotic sequence and 7 morphologically distinct chromosomes were demonstrated at metaphase. The findings are discussed in relation to other proposed schemes of nuclear division in the fungi.
