Dark dependence of meiosis at elevated temperatures in the basidiomycete Coprinus lagopus. 1972

B C Lu

Under continuous-light regimen Coprinus lagopus can enter and complete meiosis at 25 C, but is unable to do so at 35 C. The temperature-sensitive and the dark-dependent period is 10 hr before karyogamy. It is conjectured that the basidia are programmed for the initiation of meiosis during that 10-hr period.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008540 Meiosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division, occurring during maturation of the GERM CELLS. Two successive cell nucleus divisions following a single chromosome duplication (S PHASE) result in daughter cells with half the number of CHROMOSOMES as the parent cells.
