LITERATURE
Cao-2 exhibits the same transcriptional pattern as Al-2, which encodes the phytoene synthase/beta-cyclase. The mRNA levels for both genes are very low in vegetative mycelia grown in the dark, and increase markedly upon illumination. Illumination does not lead to any detectable increase of the Cao-2 and Al-2 mRNA amounts in wc-1 or wc-2 mutants, confirming that Cao-2 photoinduction is mediated by the WC-1/WC-2 photoreceptor system
-
mRNA accumulates following light exposure to reach a maximum approximately 1 h after illumination onset
