Light represents a major carrier of information in nature. The molecular machineries
translating its electromagnetic energy (photons) into the chemical language of cells transmit …

Circadian (∼ 24 h) clock regulated biological rhythms have been identified in a wide range
of organisms from prokaryotic unicellular cyanobacteria to higher mammals. These rhythms …

Biological rhythms play a fundamental role in the physiology and behavior of most living
organisms. Rhythmic circadian expression of clock-controlled genes is orchestrated by a …

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 …

White collar‐1 (WC‐1) and white collar‐2 (WC‐2) are essential for light‐mediated responses
in Neurospora crassa, but the molecular mechanisms underlying gene induction and the …

Visible light is an important source of energy and information for much of life on this planet.
Though fungi are neither photosynthetic nor capable of observing adjacent objects, it is …

Light signaling pathways and circadian clocks are inextricably linked and have profound
effects on behavior in most organisms. Here, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) …

Neurospora crassa has been for decades a principal model for filamentous fungal genetics
and physiology as well as for understanding the mechanism of circadian clocks. Eukaryotic …

Virtually all organisms exposed to light are capable of sensing this environmental signal. In
recent years the photoreceptors that mediate the ability of fungi to “see” have been identified …

Light regulates several aspects of the biology of many organisms, including the balance
between asexual and sexual development in some fungi. To understand how light regulates …
