Transreplication and crossing over in Sordaria fimicola.
A study of the segregation of markers closely linked to the gray ascospore color locus in Sordaria fimicola reveals that there is a high incidence of crossing over very near the locus when it transreplicates, which is much more pronounced in 5:3 than in 6:2 asci. Also, a single 7:1 and several aberrant 4:4 asci are described. At a different spore color locus, transreplication yields only 6:2 ratios, while other spore color loci fail to transreplicate altogether
