✦ Synopsis
Micronucleus-like
structures were produced in Trichoderma reesei only when 0.1% colchicine treatment was used to enhance nuclear division. The average DNA content of these 'small nuclei' was 30% that of the normal nuclei, indicating that they were aneupIoid nuclei. Such small nuclei may be useful in transferring small amounts of DNA into protoplasts.
