Regulation of meiosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Analysis of a new class of meiotic mutants isolated in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe strongly indicates that the gene in which they are deficient codes for a factor whose physiological role is inhibition of initiation of meiosis. A negative control mechanism for meiosis is discussed.
