Tóm tắt

Nitrogen, as KNO3 or NH4NO3, can inhibit the photoinduction of protoperithecia in Neurospora crassa when present in the medium at a high concentration but does not inhibit the photoinduction of carotenoids. The point at which the presence of high nitrogen levels is no longer inhibitory is 5 h after illumination.
