Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
hex-1	IL. About 1map unit from cys-9. Lacks a major protein component of the plug for septal pores. Slow growth on solid media, with many lysed hyphal tips visible with a low power microscope. Accumulates orange pigment in slants. Has normal growth rate in Vogels liquid medium. Deletion of hex-1 in N. crassa eliminates Woronin bodies from the cytoplasm and results in hyphae that exhibit a cytoplasmic bleeding phenotype following cell lysis. Encodes the major protein of the Woronin body and functions as a plug for septal pores.	IL	B
