Abstract excerpt

New mutations of the polyamine pathway of Neurospora crassa fell into three categories. The majority affected ornithine decarboxylase and lay at the previously defined spe-1 locus. One mutation, JP100, defining the new spe-2 locus, eliminated S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase and led to putresc...
