The [psi] factor of yeast is cytoplasmically inherited. Singh, Helms and Sherman (1979) reported that high concentrations of KCl and of ethylene glycol induce the genetic change from [psi+] to [psi-]. In this study, the following agents have been shown to induce the same genetic change: guanidine hydrochloride at 1 mM, dimethyl sulfoxide at 2.5% v/v and ethanol or methanol at 10% v/v. It is likely that a number of other agents also cause the change, namely 2 M glycerol, M succinate, M glutamate and M MgCl2. Most of these agents induce the change at very high frequencies; with some, the frequency is 100%. Although the observed phenotypic change can also occur as a result of chromosomal gene mutation, no changes of this type were identified. Some of the agents also cause mutation from [rho+] to [rho-] and from killer to sensitive.
酵母的[ψ]因子是细胞质遗传的。辛格、赫尔姆斯和谢尔曼(1979年)报告称,高浓度的氯化钾和乙二醇会诱导遗传变化,即从[ψ+]变为[ψ-]。在本研究中,已证明以下试剂会诱导相同的遗传变化:1 mM的盐酸胍、2.5%(v/v)的二甲基亚砜以及10%(v/v)的乙醇或甲醇。很可能还有许多其他试剂也会导致这种变化,即2 M甘油、M琥珀酸盐、M谷氨酸盐和M氯化镁。这些试剂中的大多数以非常高的频率诱导这种变化;有些试剂的诱导频率为100%。尽管观察到的表型变化也可能是由于染色体基因突变引起的,但未发现此类变化。一些试剂还会导致从[ρ+]到[ρ-]以及从杀伤型到敏感型的突变。
