Abstract excerpt

The brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus has a haploid-diploid life cycle that involves an alternation between two distinct generations, the sporophyte and the gametophyte. We describe a mutant, ouroboros (oro), in which the sporophyte generation is converted into a functional, gamete-producing game...
