Light is required for conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans.

Genes & development - 1 Sept 1990

Mooney J L, Yager L N

Abstract excerpt

Light is necessary for asexual sporulation in Aspergillus nidulans but will elicit conidiation only if irradiation occurs during a critical period of development. We show that conidiation is induced by red light and suppressed by an immediate shift to far red light. Conidiation-specific gene functions switch from light-independent to light-dependent activities coincident with the expression of brlA, a regulator...
