Abstract excerpt
Streak mutants of Schizophyllum commune are characterized by ropy, hyperbranching hyphae, suppressed aerial hyphae formation, and the production of pigments. Additionally, these mutants dikaryotize unilaterally, with the mutant fertilizing its compatible mating partner, but not accepting its nucleus. Here we show that a 512 bp non-autonomous transposable element had integrated in the Gβ protein of a streak mutant...
