Abstract
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.Keywords
