The effect of deletion of paralog sets on dityrosine fluorescence.

<p>A) Patch assay of dityrosine fluorescence. Single and multiple mutant diploid cells of the indicated genotypes were sporulated on filters and the filter was exposed to UV light to detect dityrosine fluorescence. B) Quantitation of dityrosine fluorescence in the paralog mutant strains. Dityrosine fluorescence from the spore wall was quantified for strains of the indicated genotypes using a fluorescence microscopy assay. For each strain, the fluorescence value represents the average of twenty individual cells. Error bars indicate one standard deviation. Multiple mutant diploids are indicated by the name of the set of genes deleted as listed in <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003700#pgen-1003700-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>.
