Abstract excerpt
Among many white-cap mutants of Coprinus cinereus, four distinct classes have been identified cytologically. Mutants of one class progress through meiosis normally but fail to sporulate; the defect is post-meiotic and it triggers apoptosis in the tetrad stage. Mutants of the other three classes have defects in meiotic prophase and these are: (1) those that assemble synaptonemal complexes (SCs) normally; (2) those...
