Project description:In order to study the effect of light on gene expression in Schizophyllum commune, genome wide gene expression was analysed in 4-day-old monokaryotic and dikaryotic wild type colonies, grown either in light or in darkness.
Project description:The transcription factors Hom2 and Fst4 were shown to be involved in mushroom development in the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune. When the genes encoding Hom2 or Fst4 were deleted, no mushrooms formed. In this study we performed a genome-wide expression analysis on dikaryons of wild-type, delta-hom2 and delta-fst4.
