Samples were prepared for flow cytometry, as described previously [29 (link)], with modifications according to specific strain requirements. Yeast cells were stained using propidium iodide (PI) (16 μg/mL) (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (strains Y1023, Y1024) or SYTOX Green (0.5 µM) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) (strains Y1006, Y1012, Y1013, Y1014, Y1017, Y1018, Y1019, Y1020). The DNA content was determined by measuring the PI or SYTOX Green fluorescence signal (FL2 or FL1, respectively) using Becton Dickinson FACS Calibur and CellQuest software (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, United States).
