Abstract excerpt
Filamentous fungi reproduce sexually or asexually, and the developmental processes are strictly regulated by a variety of transcription factors. In this study, we characterized a zinc finger transcription factor, called AcrpnR, in Aspergillus cristatus (GME2916). The ∆AcrpnR strain exhibited decreased asexual reproduction and increased cleistothecium production. The complementation strain showed restoration of...
