| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To breed superior yeast strains by the crossbreeding method, we need a-type and α-type of cells derived from two kinds of parental strains. Because both a-type and α-type of cells can derive from a single parental strain and mate with each other, autopolyploidization impedes isolation of the desired mating-type of cells and subsequent crossbreeding. Here, we designed a method to prevent autopolyploidization, aiming at facilitation of yeast crossbreeding. In the current study, we converted the mating-type of yeast cells by using chromosomal aberration during mitotic division. We succeeded in isolation of a-type or α-type of cells from cell mixture by preventing autopolyploidization. Our approach can be applied to industrial strains, and help promote further advance in yeast crossbreeding.
