VE-1 requires the WC-1 photoreceptor for light-dependent inhibition of perithecial developmentin Neurospora crassa
The observation that light led to a large reduction in the number of perithecia in the ?ve-1 strain suggested that WC-1, the photoreceptor component of the WCC transcription factor complex, may participate in this regulation. Therefore, we analyzed the sexual phenotype of a double mutant with deletions in ve-1 and wc-1 Overall design: Pairwise comparisons of expression profiles obtained from RNA extracted from sexual tissue of the ve-1 mutant, the white-collar mutant and the double mutant vs. the wild-type strain in dark and light
