Abstract excerpt
The fruiting body of Polysphondylium pallidum is composed of whorls of branches along the axis of a primary stalk. In the course of fruiting body formation, the interval between neighboring whorls and the number and the spacing of branches in a whorl are highly regulated. In this study, using restriction enzyme mediated integration mutagenesis, we have obtained a mutant (strain M6226) with thicker and aberrant...
