The molecular mechanisms of Monascus purpureus M9 responses to blue light based on the transcriptome analysis

Abstract Light is an important environmental factor that regulates various physiological processes of fungi. To thoroughly study the responses of Monascus to blue light, transcriptome sequencing was performed on mRNAs isolated from samples of Monascus purpureus M9 cultured under three conditions: da...
