Abstract excerpt
In Neurospora crassa, a recessive mutant allele of a nuclear gene, nd (natural death), causes rapid degeneration of the mitochondrial DNA, a process that is manifested phenotypically as an accelerated form of senescence in growing and stationary mycelia. To examine the mechanisms that are involved in the degradation of the mitochondrial chromosome, several mitochondrial DNA restriction fragments unique to the...
