Abstract excerpt
The ovc mutant of Neurospora crassa accumulates more carotenoids than the wild type in the light, is sensitive to high osmotic pressure and exhibits an altered aerial development. The three traits are complemented by a single gene, cut-1, but only the two latter are exhibited by a mutant of this gene carrying a premature stop mutation. Targeted cut-1 deletion results in a normal carotenoid content, confirming the...
