  • Title: Morphogenesis in Schizophyllum commune. II. Effects of monochromatic light.
    Author: Perkins JH, Gordon SA.
    Journal: Plant Physiol; 1969 Dec; 44(12):1712-6. PubMed ID: 5380928.
    Abstract:
    The photoinduction of fruiting bodies by light of defined wavelengths was studied in the fungus Schizophyllum commune Fr. Several properties of the induction were established. (1) The exposure-response relationship for induced fruiting was determined for light of 448 nm. (2) The Bunsen-Roscoe Law of Reciprocity was found to hold for the photoinduction of fruiting bodies for the interval 36 to 2000 sec with light of 448 nm. (3) Light of wavelengths from 320 nm to 525 nm induced fruiting bodies. Although the photoreceptor is unknown, it may be a flavin rather than a carotenoid, because light in the near ultraviolet (350 nm-400 nm) was inductive. (4) Neither red light (660 nm) nor far-red light (730 nm) induced fruiting bodies or affected the sensitivity of the fungus toward photoinduction by blue light (448 nm).
