Fungi play a major role in the global carbon cycle because of their ability to utilize plant
biomass (polysaccharides, proteins, and lignin) as carbon source. Due to the complexity and …

Fungi, like other organisms, actively sense the environmental light conditions in order to
drive adaptive responses, including protective mechanisms against the light-associated …

Fungi see light of different colors by using photoreceptors such as the White Collar proteins
and cryptochromes for blue light, opsins for green light, and phytochromes for red light. Light …

Plant–phyllosphere interactions depend on microbial diversity, the plant host and
environmental factors. Light is perceived by plants and by microorganisms and is used as a …

Visible light is an important source of energy and information for much of life on this planet.
Though fungi are neither photosynthetic nor capable of observing adjacent objects, it is …

Many fungi of the genus Fusarium stand out for the complexity of their secondary
metabolism. Individual species may differ in their metabolic capacities, but they usually …

Bacteria and fungi of the plant microbiota can be phytopathogens, parasites or symbionts
that establish mutually advantageous relationships with plants. They are often rich in …

Light is an important modulating signal in fungi. Fusarium species stand out as research
models for their phytopathogenic activity and their complex secondary metabolism. This …

Fungal species have the capability of producing an overwhelming diversity of bioactive
substances that can have beneficial but also detrimental effects on human health. These so …

Circadian clocks are important for an individual's fitness, and recent studies have underlined
