Abstract

Under restrictive vegetative conditions, cells of cell-division cycle (cdc) temperature-sensitive mutants arrest at specific points in the cycle. Meiotic and mitotic behaviour of such arrested cells was examined under permissive sporulation conditions. Those mutants which were committed to mitosis at their specific point of arrest finished the cell cycle and could only then go into meiosis. It was found that commitment to mitosis occurred early in the cell cycle, prior to DNA replication, and that this commitment was dependent upon the gene function of cdc4.
