A bstract Genetic control of the ability of yeast cells to respond to cell‐expanding action of animal, plant and yeast hormones was studied. Mating type specificity in the ability to respond to yeast sexual hormones was changed by introduction of homothallism‐controlling genes, D and HM . Auxin, a plant hormone can expand cells of most homothallic strains, but not those of heterothallic strains as far as tested. Animal sex hormones showed the action similar to that of yeast sexual hormones.
