gpa3Δ and crg1Δ mutations, and overexpression of MAT2, ZNF2, or CPR2 all enhanced self-fertility of 97/433. (A) Two independent gpa3Δ and crg1Δ mutants were analyzed (see also Figure S2). Solo-cultures or (B) confrontation assays with a partner of the a mating type (YL4a on the left side of each panel) were incubated on MS agar for 3 weeks at room temperature (24°C) in the dark and photographed. Scale bar = 50 µm. (C) Mutants were analyzed for elevated expression of the MFα pheromone gene as compared to the wildtype after 48 hours incubation on MS medium (C).
