Auxins, IAA, 2,4-D, and NAA, and gibberellin, GA, significantly enhanced the conidial germination rate in the wild-type Neurospora crassa. The inhibitory effect of an antiauxin, 2,4,6-T on conidial germination was overcome by IAA. The present results suggest that auxin and gibberellin may act as regulators of conidial germination in Neurospora.
