<p> This thesis proposed to analyse the recombination, complementation and biosynthetic implications of a series of hitherto unstudied carotenoidless mutant strains of Neurospora crassa and to confirm the reports of previous authors through analysis of a number of their mutant strains. A new selective technique permitted the fine structure analysis of the locus. Complementation studies with an extensive range of mutants including several recently discovered phenotypes permitted the resolution of new cistronic limits within the locus. A speculative model of the gene products was proposed to embrace the recombination, complementation and biochemical paradigms.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
