Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
pan-1	IVR. Between ad-6 (1 to 2%) and cot-1 (2 to 3%) (633, 692, PB). (482). cel, col-1, int, pho-3, and thi-5 all appear to be closely linked in this crowded region. Requires intact pantothenic acid for growth under standard conditions. Able to synthesize both precursors, beta-alanine and pantoyl lactone (1058). Ability to synthesize pantothenic acid from beta-alanine plus pantoyl lactone is demonstrable in vitro but not in vivo unless cultures are aerated (1111, 1113, 1114). Unlike pan-2, pan-1 has no effect on ascospore ripening in heterozygous crosses. Called group A. For alleles see reference 138.	IVR	B
pe	IIR. Between nuc-2 (4%) and arg-12 (1 to 5%) (593, 816). (613) Peach-colored conidia and short hyphae formed, more uniformly than by the wild type, as a lawn close to surface of agar. Distinctive morphology (46, 613). Added arginine increases macroconidiation and tends to obscure scoring of peat 25 C, but not at 39°C. pe single mutants produce both macro- and microconidia. pe fl double mutants produce abundant grey microconidia and no macroconidia (46, 700) (see fl). See col-1, col-4, and references 415 and 416 for interactions with other genes. Called m (microconidial) or pem in some contexts.	IIR	B
fl	IIR. Between ace-1 (5 to 11%) and trp-3 (3%) (816, PB). (613)No macroconidia (609). Highly fertile (612). Used routinely as the female parent in tests for chromosome rearrangements and for mating type (e.g., reference 801). The flsingle mutant produces few microconidia when dry; when wetted, sufficient microconidia are produced to have been used in early irradiation and mutation studies (614, 915); large numbers can be obtained under certain conditions; see reference 893. pe fl (46, 700) and fl;dn (806) double mutants produce abundant microconidia; the latter combination is highly fertile when homozygous. Photograph of microconidial formation (774); see also reference 893. Nuclear numbers in microconidia (46, 64, 478). Wall analysis (207). Immunoelectrophoretic pattern (784). Paradoxical high alcoholic glycolysis on nitrate medium (80). Deficiency of isocitrate lyase on acetate medium; see citations in reference 1088. When fl A and fl a strains are inoculated separately on crossing medium in plates, a double line of perithecia forms where they meet, similar to that accompanying barrage in Podospora (410, 414). fl ascospores from certain fl x fl+ crosses often germinate spontaneously (1127; N. B. Raju, personal communication). Allele C-1835 was called acon (717, 812).	IIR	B
