Abstract excerpt
Wild-type Aspergillus nidulans conidia are uninucleate. The mutation bncA1 (binucleated conidia) was first described as a single mutation located on chromosome IV that caused formation of approximately 25% binucleate and 1% trinucleate conidia. In this study, we show that bncA1 conidia exit G1 arrest earlier than the wild type. Germlings have hyphal elements with abnormal morphology, elevated numbers of randomly...
