Two conditional mutants ofChlamydomonas reinhardtii, dif-1anddif-2, affecting gametic differentiation under conditions of nitrogen (N)-starvation, have been isolated. These mutant cells remain “vegetative” at the restrictive temperature (35°C) in — N medium, as defined by assays of cell body-agglutinin and cell wall lytic enzyme activities in the soluble fractions of cell homogenates. Moreover, the mutants fail to form mating structures at the restrictive temperature, but do so at the permissive temperature (25°C). Temperature-shift experiments show that mutant cells which have differentiated into gametes at 25°C dedifferentiate into “vegetative” cells under N-starvation conditions after transfer to 35°C, but differentiate again into gametes at 25°C. Genetic analyses indicate that thedif-1anddif-2genes are recessive and unlinked to each other or to the matingtype locus; thedif-1phenotype cosegregates with a conditional flagellales phenotype expressed in both +N and-N medium at the restrictive temperature.
