Abstract
Abortion of oogonia of P. cactorum grown on media containing cholestanol occurs at or just before early meiotic prophase. Meiosis is possibly controlled by a steroid hormone, for which cholesterol is an effective precursor but cholestanol is not.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
