title: Sensitivity to ethidium bromide during meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: Ethidium bromide was found to inhibit nuclear and mitochondrial DNA synthesis during meiosis which resulted in the inhibition of meiotic gene conversion and sporulation and was also lethal. Protection from the effects of ethidium bromide on meiotic gene conversion and survival was found to coincide with DNA synthesis, but it is possible that protection from sporulation inhibition occurs only later in meiosis.
