Trends in circadian rhythms research in fungi since the millenium

Foundational work in Neurospora set the stage for recent enormous gains in understanding fungal clocks, revealing in depth their regulatory architecture which parallels that of animal clocks. Mechanistic descriptions of photoreception and light-resetting and a complete inventory of core components accompanied quantal leaps in understanding how components work together to build a compensated clock. These advances are contributing to understanding clocks in myriad other fungi including several of agricultural importance.
