The Search for Mating-Type-Limited Genes in the Homothallic Alga CHLAMYDOMONAS MONOICA.
The non-Mendelian erythromycin resistance mutation ery-u1 shows bidirectional uniparental inheritance in crosses between homothallic ery-u1 and ery-u1(+) strains of Chlamydomonas monoica . This inheritance pattern supports a general model for homothallism invoking intrastrain differentiation into opposite compatible mating types and, further, suggests that non-Mendelian inheritance is under mat...
متن کاملComplementation and Preliminary Linkage Analysis of Zygote Maturation Mutants of the Homothallic Alga, CHLAMYDOMONAS MONOICA.
Sexual reproduction in Chlamydomonas monoica is homothallic: pair formation and cell fusion occur in clonal culture and give rise to a heavily walled diploid zygospore. During maturation of the young zygote, a distinctive "primary zygote wall" is released before the development of the highly reticulate zygospore wall. Using ethyl methanesulfonate and ultraviolet irradiation as mutagens, we have...
متن کاملBeta-tubulin mutants of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Two beta-tubulin mutants of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been isolated on the basis of altered sensitivity to the growth-inhibitory effect of colchicine. The two mutations of colR4 and colR15 have been found to be tightly linked, mapping to a previously unmarked site in linkage group XII. The drug-resistance phenotypes of both mutations segregated in genetic crosses...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism markers in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular green alga, with a genome estimated to be around 100 Mbp (Harris, 1989). Similar to yeast, C. reinhardtii has wellunderstood haploid genetics, but unlike yeast it has both a chloroplast and flagella. These unique properties make it a powerful model system for studying fundamental cellular and molecular biology questions concerning photosynthesis, flage...
متن کاملA comparative inventory of metal transporters in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and the red alga Cyanidioschizon merolae.
As in all organisms, metal cations are crucial for nutrition in plants. Severalmetals, such as copper, iron, zinc, and manganese, act as important cofactors for many enzymes and are essential for bothmitochondrial and chloroplast functions. However, when supplied in excess, these essential cations can become toxic, like heavy metals with no generally established function, such as cadmium, lead,...
