Journal of Fungi, 2023 Light is an important modulating signal in fungi. Fusarium species stand out as research models for their phytopathogenic activity and their complex secondary metabolism. This includes the synthesis of carotenoids, whose induction by light is their best known photoregulated process.

Photoreceptor engineering [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2015 Sensory photoreceptors not only control diverse adaptive responses in Nature, but as light-regulated actuators they also provide the foundation for optogenetics, the non-invasive and spatiotemporally precise manipulation of cellular events by light.

Eye, 1998 Photoreceptor cell death is the final, irreversible event in many blinding diseases including retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular disease and retinal detachment. This paper examines the potential strategies for preventing photoreceptor cell death in the context of current understanding of the mechanisms of cell death. There is evidence to suggest

Plant Flavoprotein Photoreceptors [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2014 Plants depend on the surrounding light environment to direct their growth. Blue light (300-500 nm) in particular acts to promote a wide variety of photomorphogenic responses including seedling establishment, phototropism and circadian clock regulation.

Physiological and Genetic Bases of the Circadian Clock in Plants and Their Relationship with Herbicides Efficacy [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2016 In order to adapt to daily environmental changes, especially in relation to light availability, many organisms, such as plants, developed a vital mechanism that controls time-dependent biological events: the circadian clock.

PLoS ONE, 2011 Colour vision depends on comparison of signals from photoreceptors with different spectral sensitivities. However, response properties of photoreceptor cells may differ in ways other than spectral tuning. In insects, for example, broadband photoreceptors,

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009 Simple photoreceptors, namely intrinsically light-sensitive neurons without microvilli and/or cilia, have long been known to exist in the central ganglia of crayfish, Aplysia, Onchidium, and Helix.

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2022 Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness. Vision loss is caused by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors atrophy and/or retinal and choroidal angiogenesis.

Antioxidants, 2023 Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released from dying cells with high concentrations is sensed as a danger signal by the P2X7 receptor. Sodium iodate (NaIO3) is an oxidative toxic agent, and its retinal toxicity has been used as the model of dry age-related ...
