Abstract excerpt
The flexuosa (fle1-1) mutant, isolated in Podospora anserina, displays vegetative defects and two antagonistic sexual phenotypes: it produces several 1000-fold fewer microconidia (male gametes) than the wild-type strain and, conversely, more abundant protoperithecia (female organs). Cloning and sequencing of the fle1 gene and of cDNA identified an open reading frame encoding a 382-amino-acid polypeptide with two...
