Abstract excerpt
In Physarum, microscopic uninucleate amoebae develop into macroscopic multinucleate plasmodia. In the mutant strain, RA614, plasmodium development is blocked. RA614 carries a recessive mutation (npfL1) in a gene that functions in sexual as well as apogamic development. In npfL+ apogamic development, binucleate cells arise from uninucleate cells by mitosis without cytokinesis at the end of an extended cell cycle....
