Abstract excerpt

In order to characterize the morphological steps defined by sporulation (spo) genes during the formation of ascospores in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we performed an electron microscopic study of the ultrastructure of the spindle pole body (SPB) and of the development of the fore...
