Abstract excerpt
In Neurospora crassa, a circadian rhythm of conidiation (asexual spore formation) can be seen on the surface of agar media. This rhythm has a period of 22 hr in constant darkness (D/D). Under constant illumination (L/L), no rhythm is visible and cultures show constant conidiation. However, here we report that strains with a mutation in the vivid (vvd) gene, previously shown to code for the photoreceptor involved...
