Molecular analysis of a Neurospora crassa gene expressed during conidiation.
-
con-10 is induced coordinately with con-13 during the later stages of conidiation and is not expressed during mycelial growth.
"This clone contains two genes, con-10 and con-13, which are induced coordinately during the later stages of conidiation."
-
The evidence placing con-10 in the program is expression timing in conidiation mutants, not loss-of-function - the authors state a role only as an inference from expression.
"Expression of the con-10 gene in various mutants defective at different stages of conidiation indicates that it plays a role after aerial hyphal development."
