Abstract
IN experiments with Neurospora crassa, some strains when crossed are highly infertile and, therefore, further genetic analysis is difficult. This communication reports the effects of an addition of kinetin (6-furfurylamino-purine)1 on the fertility of some strains of Neurospora crassa which are normally highly infertile.
