Neurospora Chronology 1843-2002, D D. Perkins, R H. Davis Sep 2002

Neurospora Chronology 1843-2002, D D. Perkins, R H. Davis

Fungal Genetics Reports

Our recent review included a timeline showing 30 significant events in the history of Neurospora (Davis and Perkins 2002, Nature Reviews Genetics 3:397-403). Many important contributions could not be included in that brief chronology because of space limitations. We present here a somewhat more complete and better documented list of noteworthy developments.


Neurospora Perithecia: The First Sighting, D D. Perkins Sep 2002

Neurospora Perithecia: The First Sighting, D D. Perkins

Fungal Genetics Reports

When Shear and Dodge (1927) observed perithecia in laboratory cultures of Monilia sitophila, they concluded on the basis of ascospore ornamentation that the fungus merited diagnosis as a new genus, Neurospora. Prior to this, there had been reports of perithecia and ascospores formed in nature by orange fungi that must have been Neurospora. Neurospora perithecia were not found again in nature until 1996.

Neurospora Heterokaryons Involving A Thymidine Kinase-Positive "Helper": Use In Storing Poorly Viable Strains Or Crossing Strains Of Limited Fertility, R L. Metzenberg, M Sachs Sep 2002

Neurospora Heterokaryons Involving A Thymidine Kinase-Positive "Helper": Use In Storing Poorly Viable Strains Or Crossing Strains Of Limited Fertility, R L. Metzenberg, M Sachs

Fungal Genetics Reports

Many of the most interesting and useful strains encountered in research readily die in storage and/or are semi-sterile. If such strains are Oak Ridge-compatible, they can be carried and even crossed as heterokaryons with the sterile but vigorous strain from the Griffiths lab, am1 ad-3B cyh-1 (FGSC #4564 - Perkins, Neurospora Newsl. 31: 41-42, 1984).


Improved Selection For Inositol-Utilization Following Transformation Of Neurospora Crassa, Robert L. Metzenberg Sep 2002

Improved Selection For Inositol-Utilization Following Transformation Of Neurospora Crassa, Robert L. Metzenberg

Fungal Genetics Reports

Plasmids based on the cloned inositol gene of Neurospora crassa are potentially very useful as a transformation marker, or for techniques like insertional mutagenesis.

Expression Of The Aspergillus Bimg Gene In Neurospora Crassa, B Csóka, T Kókai Zeke, J Doonan, H Fox, Z Fehér, V Dombrádi Sep 2002

Expression Of The Aspergillus Bimg Gene In Neurospora Crassa, B Csóka, T Kókai Zeke, J Doonan, H Fox, Z Fehér, V Dombrádi

Fungal Genetics Reports

In A. nidulans the bimG gene codes for the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1. The wild type bimG gene was transformed into N. crassa and expressed under the direction of the alcA promoter. The heterologous bimG mRNA and protein were detected in the transformants by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. However, the transformation did not result in detectable changes in phenotype. This work demonstrates that the alcA promoter, a conditional gene expression system widely used in both Aspergillus and higher plants, also functions in N. crassa.


Be Aware When Heat Shocking Ascospores From Crisp Mutants Of Neurospora Crassa, H Cathcart, S N. Bennett, W A. Krissinger Sep 2002

Be Aware When Heat Shocking Ascospores From Crisp Mutants Of Neurospora Crassa, H Cathcart, S N. Bennett, W A. Krissinger

Fungal Genetics Reports

This laboratory has been working with a new crisp mutant of Neurospora crassa, crisp-5 isolated in our laboratory by Charlene Jackson (Jackson, 1992 MS Thesis: 1-123) by ultraviolet irradiation.
