Seasonality and Photoperiodism in Fungi

This review gives a retrospective of what is known about photoperiodism in fungi, which is largely based on reports about seasonal spore concentrations. Relatively few species have been investigated under laboratory conditions, so that our knowledge whether seasonal reproduction in fungi is mainly a direct response to environmental conditions or whether it involves a photoperiodic machinery with memory capacities and a relationship to the circadian system is extremely limited. To form a basis for further experimental endeavors into fungal photoperiodism, we review the reports about endogenous rhythms and photobiology. Finally, we will look at the possibilities of using the fungal circadian model system of Neurospora crassa for future work on photoperiodism.

Key Words: circadian • photoperiodic timer • photoperiodic memory • night length • Neurospora
