Genetic Control and Gene Expression During Meiosis and Sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

  • Chapter
Yeast Genetics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Molecular Biology ((SSMOL))

Abstract

Review articles frequently begin with an apologia to explain why the subject merits extensive study. Why for yeast meiosis and sporulation should this be necessary? The intelligent reader will doubtless appreciate that yeast are ideal subjects for experimental study, and that there is a fascination in trying to understand at a molecular level how an organism switches from one phase of its life cycle to another. He or she will be curious as to how meiosis, that process fundamental to those with any interest in sex (and variation), takes place and how it differs from mitosis. Some would see in the processes of yeast meiosis and concommitant spore formation an example of cellular differentiation and want to understand the mechanisms that control a cell developing from one form to another. Others may view the processes in the context of their possible involvement in the evolution of eukaryotes (Cavalier-Smith 1981), or from the more practical standpoint that with the recent insight into the regulation of the related phenomenon of homothallism in yeast (Klar et al. 1981; Nasmyth et al. 1981), sporulation may provide a system for studying in detail other mechanisms of eukaryotic regulation and that these might be exploited in practical ways.
