A new method of inducing self-fertilization, uniparental cytogamy, yields homozygous germinal and somatic genotypes in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. Progeny are highly fertile and show a marked tendency for precocious sexual maturity. This method is highly effective in protocols designed to generate and express nonlethal dominant or recessive mutations.
一种诱导自体受精的新方法——单亲细胞融合,可在嗜热四膜虫中产生纯合的生殖型和体细胞型基因型。后代具有高度的繁殖力,并且表现出明显的早熟性成熟倾向。在旨在产生和表达非致死性显性或隐性突变的实验方案中,这种方法非常有效。
