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 regi...
