Abstract
Fowell''s interpretation that parental-type buds from mating pairs in a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus arise from transient heterokaryons is confirmed. In a series of experiments with doubly and triply marked stocks, carrying markers which were not closely linked, no unequivocal case of recombination was found. Progeny of isolated heterokaryons include clones of the parental genotype which show a change in respiratory phenotype. The latter therefore appears to be subject to extranuclear transmission, in accord with the conclusion of Ephrussi et al.[long dash]Auth. summ.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
