title: Functional mapping of the branched signal transduction pathway that controls sporulation in Physarum polycephalum.
abstract: Sporulation of starving plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum was found to be induced by far-red light, blue light or heat shock, each of which is perceived by a different input receptor system. The branched signal transduction pathway was mapped and the time-dependent formation of some of its components analyzed.
