Abstract excerpt
During sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the four haploid nuclei generated by meiosis are encapsulated within multilayered spore walls. Taking advantage of the natural fluorescence imparted to yeast spores by the presence of a dityrosine-containing macromolecule in the spore wall, we identified and cloned two genes, termed DIT1 and DIT2, which are required for spore wall maturation. Mutation of these genes...
