Diploids of Clock Mutants of CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDI.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diploids constructed from three clock mutants of Chlamydomonas have been analyzed. In the haploid state, these mutations all lengthen the clock period, and they are at separate genetic loci. One is recessive, one dominant, and one is probably incompletely dominant to their respective wild-type alleles.

Recombinants between clock mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
Mutants affecting the period length of the biological clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardi have been isolated and a start has been made on analyzing the genetics of this system. In four mutants, the long period characteristic seems to be controlled by single genes at separate loci. Crosses between single mutants, as well as crosses involving three or four mutant genes, yielded progeny with periods ...
متن کاملMutants of the biological clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
A genetic analysis of the biological clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardi has been initiated. Of six wild-type strains tested (3 mt(+) and 3 mt(-)), five had periods close to 24 hr whereas one had a 21-hr period. Mutants with altered clock period have been isolated. The periods of 3 of these variant strains are temperature compensated. Genetic crosses involving a long-period mutant suggest that a s...
متن کاملIsolation and study of mutants lacking a derepressible phosphatase in Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardi, removal of inorganic phosphate from the culture medium results in the increase of phosphatase activity (derepression) in the wild-type (WT) strain as well as in a double mutant (P2Pa)) lacking the two main constitutive acid phosphatases. Following treatment of WT and P2Pa with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), mutants were recovered which dis...
متن کاملStickiness to Glass: Circadian Changes in the Cell Surface of Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
Conditions were found in which Chlamydomonas reinhardi exhibits a circadian alteration of its cell surface, measured as ability to stick to glass. Under these same conditions the cells also show circadian rhythms of cell division and release of daughter cells. The three rhythmic phenomena were shown to have typical properties of rhythms controlled by the biological clock. The rhythm of stickine...
متن کاملRecombination in relation to ultraviolet sensitivity in Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
A mutant strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi which is UV sensitive as a result of a single-gene chromosomal mutation has also been found to exhibit reduced recombination. In crosses homozygous for the mutant allele, a reduction in recombination frequency was demonstrated in two different linkage groups and in three different genetic backgrounds. Thus a single mutation affecting UV sensitivity als...
