Abstract excerpt
In order to understand the transmission of mitochondrial mutations in sexual crosses of Podospora, we attempted to create compatible strains with defined mitochondrial mutations. A previously characterized mutant, Mn19, with a bipartite mitochondrial genome, served as the fertilizing parent in a cross with a mitochondrial deletion mutant, alphadelta5. Characterization of the deletion mutant is reported here. All...
