The rate of rod outer segment renewed in Rana pipiens tadpoles under constant light and under diurnal conditions of 12 or 2 h light/day was significantly increased compared to that in animals in darkness. During 24 h in light after 6 days in darkness the rate of renewal was 3-4 times that in darkness. In Xenopus laevis tadpoles the rate of renewal was more than 5 times greater during the first 8 h of a normal diurnal cycle than during the following 16 h. Apparently bursts of renewal activity occur as a response to light, and a normal pattern of light alternating with darkness may play a fundamental role in the regulation of rod outer segment turnover.
