11. This discovery proved to be of importance later for his studies of " Neurospora ". 12. At Caltech, he also worked with George Beadle on corn and " Neurospora " genetics. 13. The family includes the important model organism " Neurospora crassa " that is used in genetic research. 14. One of the advantages to Neurospora as a model organism is that it undergoes both sexual and asexual reproduction. 15. A long range pseudoknot is also believed to be required for the activity of the " Neurospora " 16. The sexual cycle of one well-studied representative species of Ascomycota is described in greater detail in Neurospora crassa. 17. The first studies of sexual reproduction in " Neurospora " were made by B . O . Dodge. 18. The formation of asci and their use in genetic analysis are described in detail in " Neurospora crassa ". 19. The filamentous fungus " Neurospora crassa " ( bread mould ) produces CATs from conidia and conidial germ tubes. 20. Analysis of genetic recombination is facilitated by the ordered arrangement of the products of meiosis in " Neurospora " ascospores.
