Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
eas	IIR. Linked to rip-1 (1/151), trp-3 (0/71), and fl (1/52) (PB). (967)Conidia and aerial hyphae are readily wetted by water; in contrast, those of wild type are hydrophobic. Resembles csp mutants in that conidia do not readily become airborne, but differs from csp mutants in that conidia do not remain joined in the proconidial chains (967). Rodlets are lacking from the surface of conidia (75). Conidiating cultures can be scored by adding a drop of water to the culture, by tapping an inverted slant (967), or by transferring conidia to liquid (PB). Not scorable in combination with fl. Somewhat sensitive to high osmotic pressure (PB). A class of slow-growing progeny is produced from crosses heterozygous or homozygous for eas(811).	IIR	B
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
