C. Starostzik et W. Marwan, FUNCTIONAL MAPPING OF THE BRANCHED SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION PATHWAY THAT CONTROLS SPORULATION IN PHYSARUM-POLYCEPHALUM, Photochemistry and photobiology, 62(5), 1995, pp. 930-933
Sporulation of starving plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum was found t
o be induced by far-red light, blue light or heat shock, each of which
is perceived by a different input receptor system. The branched signa
l transduction pathway was mapped and the time-dependent formation of
some of its components analyzed.
