pat	IL. Linked to mt, probably to the right (1014).Growth and conidiation occur in patches, in a cyclic pattern under certain conditions (1014). Initially found in a pro-1 (21863) stock; pro-1 is not necessary for expression of patch. Original patch isolates were all sorbose resistant (1014), but a sorbose-resistant derivative has been obtained that apparently does not express the patch phenotype; this is called sor-4, q.v. (816). It is not clear whether pat and sor-4are separate genes or whether patch is not scorable in the absence of modifiers present in the parent stock; see p. 267 of reference 816. The original patch strain was used for the first demonstration of a circadian rhythm in fungi (104, 829), but bd strains are now preferred.	IL	B
