Abstract

Evidence for circadian conidiation was uncovered in Trichoderma pleuroticola.

  • Conidiation in Trichoderma pleuroticola is associated with blue light exposure.
  • Orthologues of key clock components from the blue-light model fungus Neurospora crassa were identified in T. pleuroticola.
  • The key components identified include wc-1 (blr-1) and frq.
  • Findings suggest that conidiation in T. pleuroticola may follow a circadian rhythm, contrasting previous beliefs.
