Light is required for conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans.
Open accessAbstract
Light is necessary for asexual sporulation in Aspergillus nidulans but will elicit conidiation only if irradiation occurs during a critical period of development. We show that conidiation is induced by red light and suppressed by an immediate shift to far red light. Conidiation-specific gene functions switch from light-independent to light-dependent activities coincident with the expression of brlA, a regulator of conidiophore development. We also show that light dependence is abolished by a mutation in the velvet gene, which allows conidiation to occur in the absence of light. We propose that the initiation of late gene expression is regulated by velvet and controlled by a red light photoreceptor, whose properties are reminiscent of phytochrome-mediated responses observed in higher plants.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
