Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
pab-2	VR. Right of ad-7 (8%). Left of inv (3%) and asn (1 to 15%). Linked to ro-4(0/407) (156, 816, 818, 918, 1036). (47) Requires p-aminobenzoic acid (1182) (Fig. 11). Allele 71301 called pab-3(1182); shown to be allelic by Drake (289).	VR	B
ylo-1	VIL. Between cys-1 (8%) and ad-1 (6%). Probably right of Bml (2%) (1012, PB). (381). Yellow carotenoids (381). Affects synthesis of neurosporaxanthin (4'-apo-beta'-caroten-4'-oic acid); citations in reference 398. Lesion probably involves the conversion of lycopene to 3,4-dehydrolycopene or the conversion of either torulene or gamma-carotene to neurosporaxanthin (398 and references therein) (Fig. 9). Resembles the orange wild type in young cultures, but color differences become clear with age. Expressed in both conidia and mycelia. Undefined modifiers affect intensity. Fails to complement with many of the al-1 and al-2 albino strains (R.E. Subden, personal communication).	VIL	B
