Phycomyces is very sensitive to light and some of the
photoresponses have been investigated in great detail using several
approaches, mostly biophysical and genetical. The sensitivity of
Phycomyces photoresponses has allowed the isolation of mutants
affected in one or more photoresponses. The gene products required
for the photoresponses of Phycomyces are
grouped in a phototransduction
pathway. The following documents
contain a brief description of the photoresponses in Phycomyces.
