Abstract excerpt

The levels of al-1 and al-2 transcripts change dramatically in response to light and development during the formation of Neurospora crassa asexual spores (conidia). al-1 and al-2 mRNAs accumulate throughout conidiation irrespective of lighting conditions initially at low levels. As conidiation pr...
