plasmid curing in yeast

[Ron Lahav]

Dear group,
I was wondering if anyone knows the rate of plasmid curing in yeast? Is it 
strain dependent? Are there specific conditions that increase the rate of 
curing? Does the mechanism work in a similar fashion as it does in bacteria 
(selective media, ie antibiotics, necessary to maintain plasmids in 
bacteria and so forth..).
I hope I am clear on this question but I would be more than happy to 
clarify myself to anyone interested. Thanks in advance!
