giant spore

locus: gsp

locus_name: giant spore

organism_type: B

chromosome_number: I

chromosome_side: L

link_group: IL

cultural_requirements: IL. Left of mating type (10%) (1008). (589)Some asci contain a single giant ascospore; others have two very large ascospores or four double-size ascospores; some contain eight ascospores. Proportions of these types vary on different crossing media. Vegetative growth is weak with normal morphology. The giant ascospores have multiple germination pores. The mutant ascus phenotype is recessive (589, 1008).
