Initial characterization of Aspergillus nidulans mutants blocked in the nuclear replication cycle.

E Orr, R F Rosenberger
PMCID: PMC233226  PMID: 770457

Abstract

Several hundred temperature-sensitive mutants of Aspergillus nidulans were screened for ability of their conidia to produce germ tubes at the nonpermissive temperature while still remaining with the original single conidial nucleus.
