Abstract excerpt
In Physarum polycephalum, uninucleate haploid amoebae develop into macroscopic multinucleate plasmodia. Wild-type, sexual development is triggered when two amoebae carrying different alleles of matA fuse to form a zygote which develops into a diploid plasmodium. Mutations in the matA genetic region give rise to apogamic strains in which a single haploid amoeba can develop into a haploid plasmodium. An essential...
