Light controls important physiological and morphological responses in fungi. Fungi can
sense near-ultraviolet, blue, green, red and far-red light using up to 11 photoreceptors and …

Pigments are present in all living matter and provide attractive colors and play basic roles in
the development of organisms. Human beings, like most animals, come in contact with their …

Basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) belong to a family of transcriptional
regulators present in three eukaryotic kingdoms. Many different functions have been …

Abstract The CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) gene encodes a MYB-related
transcription factor involved in the phytochrome induction of a light-harvesting chlorophyll …

The circadian clock is a widespread cellular mechanism that underlies diverse rhythmic
functions in organisms from bacteria and fungi, to plants and animals. Intense genetic …

We report the identification, characterization, and cloning of a novel Drosophila circadian
rhythm gene, dClock. The mutant, initially called Jrk, manifests dominant effects …

Asexual sporulation (conidiation) in the ascomycetous filamentous fungi involves the
formation of conidia, formed on specialized structures called conidiophores. Conidiation in …

In the fungi, nitrogen metabolism is controlled by a complex genetic regulatory circuit which
ensures the preferential use of primary nitrogen sources and also confers the ability to use …

▪ Abstract To grow and develop optimally, all organisms need to perceive and process
information from both their biotic and abiotic surroundings. A particularly important …

We present an analysis of over 1,100 of the∼ 10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the
genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Seven major areas of …
