✦ Synopsis

Mutants of Phycomyces defective in carotene regulation were studied in relation with the photo carotenogenic response. Quantitative complementation analyses revealed that carC, carA and carS mutations are recessive and complement for this photoresponse in carC * carA and carC * carS heterokaryons. A scheme of the regulation of carotenogenesis by light is proposed.

Genetic analysis of carotenogenesis in Phycomyces is hampered by the inability of most mutants to complete the sexual cycle. Heterokaryons between complementing mutants or between a mutant and a helper strain are, however, fertile. Using this method crosses have been carried out between mutants repr
