Abstract excerpt
The circadian rhythm in Neurospora crassa is exhibited as alternating areas of conidiating and non-conidiating mycelia growth. A significant role in this circadian rhythm is played by the frq (frequency) and wc (white-collar) genes, comprising the "FWC" oscillator. Strains lacking the FWC can be restored to rhythmicity, which has been attributed to a second oscillator, called the FLO (frq-less oscillator). This...
