Red light triggers asexual development and represses sexual development in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. This response has been shown to require a phytochrome red/far-red light photoreceptor, FphA, which is cytoplasmic and binds a tetrapyrrole chromophore. FphA exhibits similarities to both plant and bacterial phytochromes.
红光可触发构巢曲霉的无性发育并抑制其有性发育。研究表明,这种反应需要一种光敏色素红/远红光光感受器FphA,它位于细胞质中并结合一个四吡咯发色团。FphA与植物和细菌的光敏色素都有相似之处。
