Summary
Of 196 strains ofSclerotinia fructigena 181 grew rhythmically in light-dark cycles, while 30 isolates also exhibited rhythms under constant conditions, which indicates an endogenous periodicity. Among the latter 4 strains were found with well-expressed circadian rhythms. The results are thought to be compatible with an individual genetic creation of rhythms in this population.
