Spore discharge rhythms in pyrenomycetes

An apparatus enabling continuous collection of ascospores over 48 hr. periods is described. The periodicity of spore discharge has been investigated in twenty-four species of pyrenomycetes. Maximum spore discharge occurred during daylight hours in twelve species but the remainder were nocturnal or m...
