Characterization of the asexual developmental genes brlA and wetA in Monascus ruber M7

• Monascus genomes contain homologs of brlA and wetA, but not of abaA. • MrbrlA and MrwetA were functionally characterized in Monascus ruber M7. • MrbrlA and MrwetA showed no detectable effect on asexual development. • Deletion or overexpression of MrwetA severely repressed sexual development....
