Abstract

Many of the most interesting and useful strains encountered in research readily die in storage and/or are semi-sterile. If such strains are Oak Ridge-compatible, they can be carried and even crossed as heterokaryons with the sterile but vigorous strain from the Griffiths lab, a^m1 ad-3B cyh-1 (FGSC #4564 - Perkins, Neurospora Newsl. 31: 41-42, 1984).
