Abstract excerpt
The Fusarium fujikuroi fungus, known as a biotechnological source of gibberellins, has a complex secondary metabolism that responds to various environmental signals, including the availability of light and nitrogen. White collar complex proteins, consisting of the flavoprotein WC1 and its partner WC2, are widespread in fungi where they play a central role in the regulation of numerous genes in response to light....
