Abstract excerpt
Dodge's early work (1927-1940) on Neurospora genetics and sexual biology inspired Beadle and Tatum at Stanford to use N.crassa for their landmark discovery that genes specify enzymes. Neurospora has since become a model organism for numerous genetic, cytogenetic, biochemical, molecular and population biology studies. Neurospora is haploid in the vegetative phase with a transient diploid sexual phase. Its meiotic...
