Abstract

Genetic data suggesting the absence of crossover in Saccharomycodes ludwigii have been described. Tetrad data obtained from 888 asci from 60 pairs of genes with 22 genetic markers showed the absence of tetratype asci, except for 5 asci in which a single pair of alleles showed tetratype segregation to the other genetic markers in each ascus. Spore arrays in the linear asci showed that the + - + - and + - - + (or - + + -) asci occurred at almost equal frequencies. The two coherent spores at each end of an ascus were always marked with different alleles of a gene.
