Abstract excerpt
Neurospora crassa asexual sporulation (conidiation) is induced by different cues including desiccating aerial environments. Three of the genes that are expressed during this developmental pathway are the albino (al) genes, which encode carotenoid biosynthetic enzymes. If conidiation is induced by nutrient deprivation in liquid culture, two overlapping al-3 mRNAs, al-3 (m) and al-3 (c), are expressed (Arpaia et...
