Abstract excerpt
In the fungus Neurospora crassa, the chol-1 mutation blocks the synthesis of the lipid phosphatidylcholine and also lengthens the period of the circadian rhythm of conidiation under conditions of choline depletion. The frq mutations, which have no known metabolic defect, affect both the period of the rhythm and temperature compensation. In this article, the chol-1 mutant strain has been further characterized with...
