Sorting out of cytoplasm determinants can be achieved in Podospora anserina by the use of protoplasts. In this way four cytoplasmic mutations have been isolated. These mutations affect a precise stage of development of the fungus. In crosses with wild-type strains, the mutants show maternal inheritance when no cytoplasmic contact precedes fertilization. However, when cytoplasmic mixing occurs before fertilization, the cytoplasmic wild-type factor shows dominant and/or suppressive properties over the mutant factor.
