Light and dark adaptation in Phycomyces light-growth response
Sporangiophores of the fungus Phycomyces exhibit adaptation to light stimuli over a dynamic range of 10(10). This range applies to both phototropism and the closely related light-growth response; in the latter response, the elongation rate is modulated transiently by changes in the light intensity. We have performed light- and dark-adaptation experiments on growing sporangiophores using an auto...
متن کاملDark Adaptation and the Light-growth Response of Phycomyces
1. A single-celled, elongating sporangiophore of Phycomyces responds to a sufficient increase in intensity of illumination by a brief increase in growth rate. This is the "light-growth response" of Blaauw. 2. The reaction time is compound, consisting of an exposure period and a latent period (this comprising both the true latent period resulting from photochemical action and any "action time" n...
متن کاملLight and dark adaptation in Phycomyces phototropism
Light and dark adaptation of the phototropism of Phycomyces sporangiophores were analyzed in the intensity range of 10(-7)-6 W X m-2. The experiments were designed to test the validity of the Delbrück-Reichardt model of adaptation (Delbrück, M., and W. Reichardt, 1956, Cellular Mechanisms in Differentiation and Growth, 3-44), and the kinetics were measured by the phototropic delay method. We fo...
متن کاملPhototropism, Adaptation, and the Light-Growth Response of Phycomyces
Phototropic bending can be initiated without the transient changes in growth speed that characterize a light-growth response. The conditions required are a change from a symmetric to an asymmetric illumination pattern while the cell receives a constant radiant flux. Phototropism is thus basically a steady state process. It cannot be founded on differential light-growth responses as in Blaauw's ...
متن کاملThe Light Growth Response of Phycomyces
With the help of an automated tracking system we have studied the characteristics of the transient light growth response of Phycomyces. The response shows a sharply defined latency. The Q(10) of the reciprocal latency is 2.4. Response patterns at different peaks of the action spectrum are the same. The gradual variation of response magnitude over a wide range of adapted intensifies parallels th...
