Genetic and Non-Genetic Factors in Pigmentation of Neurospora Crassa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
HE biochemical genetics of carotenoid pigments has been studied in the T tomato ( LEROSEN et al. 1941 ; MACKINNEY and JENKINS 1949 ; PORTER and LINCOLN 1950), corn (MANGELSDORF and FRAPS 1931) and red yeast (BONNER et al. 1946). HAXO (1949) worked out the carotenoid components of the wild type Neurospora. The present paper deals with genetic and biochemical studies of a modifier system for pigmentation in Neurospora and the effect of light on this system.

Biotransformation of Hydrocortisone by Neurospora crassa
The ability of Neurospora crassa FGSC 4335 in the biotransformation of hydrocortisone was investigated. The microorganism produced two major metabolites after incubation with the substrate for seven days. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and identified on the basis of spectral data. The products were identified as 11?,17?,20?,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (II) and 11?-h...
متن کاملA selective technique for the isolation of Neurospora crassa from soil.
Neurospora is among the most studied of all eukaryotes. It is a convenient organism for the study of genetic polymorphism through analysis of isozymes (Yu, Garrett & Sussman, 1971 ; Reddy & Threlkeld, 1971,1972), and the possibility of population studies with Neurospora has been demonstrated by Perkins (1970) who collected isolates from over 60 localities in the tropics. However, Perkins' colle...
متن کاملHeterokaryosis in Neurospora sitophila.
ETEROKARYOSIS has been extensively used as a major tool in formal genetic analysis of both Mendelian and non-Mendelian genes and in establishing gene-enzyme relationships. So far it is the only way to perform genetic anslysis of somatic cells in tissue culture (EPHRUSSI 1965; MINTZ and BAKER 1967). These aspects of heterokaryosis have been reviewed elsewhere ( JINKS 1965; FINCHAM 1966; DAVIS 19...
متن کاملGenetic Architecture of a Reinforced, Postmating, Reproductive Isolation Barrier between Neurospora Species Indicates Evolution via Natural Selection
A role for natural selection in reinforcing premating barriers is recognized, but selection for reinforcement of postmating barriers remains controversial. Organisms lacking evolvable premating barriers can theoretically reinforce postmating isolation, but only under restrictive conditions: parental investment in hybrid progeny must inhibit subsequent reproduction, and selected postmating barri...

It is unclear what prevents succes...
