Abstract The possibility that plant growth regulators may relate to a cyclic 3′:5′ adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase through the control of cAMP level in the conidial germination process of Neurospora crassa was examined using a cAPM-dependent protein kinase mutant (cpk mutant) which is thought to be cAMP-independent because of defect in the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. IAA, 2,4-D and GA3 promoted conidial germination and elongation of young hyphae in the mutant as well as in the wild-type. The result suggests that the effects of auxin and gibberellin on germination and hyphal elongation are not mediated by cAMP.
