Abstract excerpt
In Neurospora crassa, several biological phenomena such as the synthesis of carotenoids in the mycelia and polarity of perithecia are regulated by light. We found that a sod-1 mutant, with a defective Cu,Zn-type superoxide dismutase (SOD), showed accelerated light-dependent induction of carotenoid accumulation in the mycelia compared with the wild type. The initial rate of light-induced carotenoid accumulation in...
