Light controls important physiological and morphological responses in fungi. Fungi can
sense near-ultraviolet, blue, green, red and far-red light using up to 11 photoreceptors and …

Plant biomass degradation by fungi requires a diverse set of secreted enzymes and
significantly contributes to the global carbon cycle. Recent advances in genomic and …

The circadian clock is a biological timekeeping system that provides organisms with the
ability to adapt to day-night cycles. Timing of the expression of four members of the …

The mammalian circadian clock uses interlocked negative feedback loops in which the
heterodimeric basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor BMAL1/CLOCK is a master …

Fungi, like other organisms, actively sense the environmental light conditions in order to
drive adaptive responses, including protective mechanisms against the light-associated …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Fungi see light of different colors by using photoreceptors such as the White Collar proteins
and cryptochromes for blue light, opsins for green light, and phytochromes for red light. Light …

Circadian clocks organize our inner physiology with respect to the external world, providing
life with the ability to anticipate and thereby better prepare for major fluctuations in its …

Plant pathogens secrete an arsenal of small secreted proteins (SSPs) acting as effectors that
modulate host immunity to facilitate infection. SSP-encoding genes are often located in …

Cell-to-cell communication and cell fusion are fundamental biological processes across the
tree of life. Survival is often dependent upon being able to identify nearby individuals and …
