Hydroxyurea (HU) inhibits the premeiotic DNA replication and the meiotic events that followed, namely readiness, recombination commitment, haploidisation, sporulation commitment and ascus formation. Short incubations with HU (2-4 hrs) during the premeiotic replication (i.e. starting between 3 and 6.

Mitochondrial DNA from the yeast strain SR23, tentatively allocated to the species Candida rhagii, consists of linear molecules 30 kb long. This has been demonstrated by restriction analysis and selective radioactive labelling of terminal restriction fragments. Preliminary sequence analysis indicate
Complete inhibition of sporulation was observed in two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to which 8-hydroxyquinoline was added at a final concentration of 5 microgram/ml during the initial 4 to 6 h of sporulation. The cells were most sensitive to the inhibitor during 4 to 6 interval beginning at a
Irradiation of meiotic yeast cells with moderate doses of ultraviolet irradiation (1,600 erg/mm2) leads to the arrest of premeiotic DNA synthesis, massive (5-40%) DNA degradation, and a 40-50% loss of cell viability. In contrast, such doses of UV irradiation had a minor effect on viability (15-20% l
