title: Sporulation in single-spore isolates from amitrole-induced multispored asci of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: Amitrole treatment causes multispored ascus production by cells of a yeast strain whose asci normally contain two diploid spores. Single spores were isolated from asci containing two to eight spores and their ability to germinate was determined. Cells in colonies grown from single spores sporulated in the same manner as the parent strain indicating that amitrole had not induced meiotic division in the developing asci.
