Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
al-2	IR. Right of os-5 (<1%) and T(STL76). Left of arg-6(1%) and al-1 (797, 802, 808, 816, 818). Included in duplications from Tp(T54M94), confirming location left of arg-6(808). (482) Carotenoids absent or abnormal, but steroids produced (398). Blocked in microsomal fraction and defective in phytoene synthetase (445), a particulate enzyme (445 and references cited therein) (Fig. 9). Tracer experiments indicate a lesion between prephytoene pyrophosphate and phytoene (572). Alleles include those resulting in white and pale rose-white, e.g., 15300 and Y254MI65 (1042), and purple, e.g., MN58a (154). For complementation, see references 500 and 1041. Fine-structure mapping (500, 1042) needs reevaluation because of new information on the location of the arg-6 marker (797).	IR	B

dow	IIIR. Right of ty-1 (21%) and un-17 (23%); linked to erg-3 (10%) and acu-7(0/72) (816).Soft, matty growth, conidiating and covering slants (816). An excellent marker: good viability, fertility, and scorability.	IIIR	B
Sk-2	III. Second-division segregation rare or absent. The killer allele Sk-2K recombines with his-7 (25%) but suppresses crossing over in the interval r(Sk-2)-1 to leu-1 (29% in controls). (1092). Sk-2K does not recombine with acr-7 (0/1800) or acr-2 (0/100,000) (B.C. Turner, personal communication). Kills ascospores of sensitive genotype after meiosis in crosses heterozygous for the killer allele Sk-2K. In Sk-2K x Sk-2S crosses (Killer x Sensitive), each ascus contains four inviable clear ascospores and four viable black ascospores that are SkK. Ascospores are not killed in SkK x SkK crosses (1092). Meiosis and postmeiotic mitosis appear normal by light microscopy. Sensitive spores first appear abnormal after one nuclear division in the ascospore. Sk-2S nuclei survive if included in the same ascospore with Sk-2(857). Originated in N. intermedia; introgressed into N. crassa. Most strains from nature are sensitive, but resistant strains of N. intermedia are common in some geographic areas, and two resistant strains of N. crassahave been found [see r(Sk-2)-1]. Strains resistant to Sk-2K are not necessarily resistant to Sk-3K. In Sk-2K x Sk-3K crosses, less than 1% of the ascospores are normal and viable (1092; B.C. Turner, personal communication). If Sk-2K and Sk-3K nuclei are included in the same ascospore, both nuclei survive and the spore is not killed (N.B. Raju, personal communication).	III	B
