BrlA, abaA and wetA are pivotal regulators of conidiophore development and conidium maturation (PubMed:19850144). They act individually and together to regulate their own expression and that of numerous other sporulation-specific genes (By similarity). Expression is controlled by abaA (PubMed:19850144). Loses conidial pigments and exhibits autolytic phenotype (PubMed:19850144). Belongs to the wetA family.
