Abstract
Utilizing a combination of flanking marker analysis and deletion mapping we have constructed a fine structure map of the am locus which includes 63 point mutants and ten unique deletions. Positions of point mutants can be rapidly assigned to one of 13 segments within the gene on the basis of crosses to nine deletion strains.
