The formation of highly polarized hyphae that grow by apical extension is a defining feature
of the filamentous fungi. High‐resolution microscopy and mathematical modeling have …

The Spitzenkörper is a dynamic structure present at the tips of hyphal cells with a single
highly polarized growth site. It is closely connected with cell morphogenesis and polar …

Aspergillus nidulans is an important experimental organism, and it is a model organism for
the genus Aspergillus that includes serious pathogens as well as commercially important …

The polarized synthesis of cell wall components such as chitin is essential for the hyphal tip
growth of filamentous fungi. The actin cytoskeleton is known to play important roles in the …

By confocal microscopy, we analyzed microtubule (Mt) behavior during hyphal growth and
branching in a Neurospora crassa strain whose Mts had been tagged with GFP. Images …

Proteins in the cytoplasmic dynein pathway accumulate at the microtubule plus end, giving
the appearance of comets when observed in live cells. The targeting mechanism for NUDF …

Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is an inherited disorder characterized by progressive loss of motor
function and susceptibility to cancer. The most prominent clinical feature observed in AT …

The heterobasidiomycete smut fungi are characterized by their narrow host range on
defined groups of grasses including valuable crop species such as maize, sugar cane …

The apical extension of hyphae is of central importance for extensive spread of fungal
mycelium in forest soils and for effective ectomycorrhiza development. Since the tubulin …

Endocytosis is a fundamental biological process, which is conserved among all eukaryotes.
It is essential not only for many physiological and signalling processes but also for …
