ABSTRACT
Light controls important physiological and morphological responses in fungi. Fungi can sense near-ultraviolet, blue, green, red and far-red light using up to 11 photoreceptors and signalling cascades to control a large proportion of the genome and thereby adapt to environmental conditions. The blue-light photoreceptor functions directly as a transcriptional regulator in the nucleus, whereas the red-light-sensing and far-red-light-sensing phytochrome induces a signalling pathway to transduce the signal from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Green light can be sensed by retinal-binding proteins, known as opsins, but the signalling mechanisms are not well understood. In this Review, we discuss light signalling processes in fungi, their signalling cascades and recent insights into the integration of light signalling pathways with other regulatory circuits in fungal cells.
