FIG 3 

Effects of light on sexual development in N. crassa. (A) Abundance of protoperithecia in constant darkness or exposed to red light, and white light for the Δphy-1, Δphy-2, Δphy-1 Δphy-2, and wild-type strains after 6 days of incubation. Error bars represent standard deviations. (B to D) The Δphy-2 strain was cultured for 6 days under constant red light and exhibited early sexual development of protoperithecia and perithecia. (B) Protoperithecia and early perithecia formed on the Δphy-2 strain side. (C) The asymmetry was even more evident after the cultures were placed under 3 days of constant white light for an additional 3 days. (D) The wild-type side of the crossing plate begins to mature at 6 days after shifting to continuous white light.
