Red- and Blue-Light Sensing in the Plant Pathogen <named-content content-type="genus-species">Alternaria alternata</named-content> Depends on Phytochrome and the White-Collar Protein LreA

ABSTRACT The filamentous fungus Alternaria alternata is a common postharvest contaminant of food and feed, and some strains are plant pathogens. Many processes in A. alternata are triggered by light. Interestingly, blue light inhibits sporulation, and red light reverses the effect, suggesting intera...
