Correlated meiotic and mitotic maps inAspergillus amstelodami

Thirteen markers in Aspergillus amstelodami were mapped through meiotic and mitotic recombination, resulting in good correlation of the two linkage groups established by each method. Mapping via mitotic analysis proved the more efficient of the methods because of the long distances between some of the markers established in this organism. Visual selection of haploid segregants from mitotic recombination was aided by the ability to recover conidia which differed in colour from the haploid parents. These contained pairs of conidial colour markers which were not epistatic to each other.
