Abstract excerpt
Sake yeast strains are classified into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and have a heterothallic life cycle. This feature allows cross hybridization between two haploids to breed new strains with superior characteristics. However, cross hybridization of sake yeast is very difficult because only a few spores develop in a sporulation medium, and most of these spores do not germinate. We hypothesized that these features are...
