Incompetent plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum exposed to a light pulse sporulated after reaching the competent stage. Fusion of irradiated plasmodia with dark-incubated plasmodia and analysis of sporulation indicated the presence of a morphogenetic signal. It is concluded that a logic AND gate integrates the photoreceptor signal and the competence signal and controls the formation of the morphogenetic signal.
暴露于光脉冲下的多头绒泡菌无活性原质团在达到活性阶段后形成了孢子。将经辐照的原质团与在黑暗中培养的原质团融合并对孢子形成进行分析,结果表明存在一种形态发生信号。得出的结论是,一个“与”门整合了光感受器信号和活性信号,并控制形态发生信号的形成。
