Neurospora crassa: A Unique System for Studying Circadian Rhythms

  • Chapter
Photochemical and Photobiological Reviews

Abstract

Progress in a particular field of biology has often been the result of the development of an organism or system especially well suited to research on that problem. The value of E. coli to molecular biology, the mammalian red blood cell to membrane biochemistry, and the oat coleoptile to plant physiology has been well-documented.
