Abstract

1. The effect of temperature on recombination in adjacent and nonadjacent chromosomal regions has been studied in Schizophyilum commune. 2. A change in temperature need not affect frequencies of recombination throughout the genome; neither linked nor unlinked segments always respond co-ordinately to temperature. 3. The effect of temperature on recombination in any particular region can vary from cross to cross. 4. The effect of temperature on recombination is thus both regionspecific and genotype-specific. We believe this specificity is a manifestation of the complex “fine control” of recombination and has adaptive significance.
