Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate biotrophs that participate in a highly
beneficial root symbiosis with 80% of land plants. Strigolactones are trace molecules in plant …

Hyphal tip growth in fungi is important because of the economic and medical importance of
fungi, and because it may be a useful model for polarized growth in other organisms. We …

In fungal hyphae, apical dominance refers to the suppression of secondary polarity axes in
the general vicinity of a growing hyphal tip. The mechanisms underlying apical dominance …

Summary AbpA, SlaB and AmpA, three demonstrated components of the endocytic
internalization machinery, are strongly polarized in Aspergillus nidulans hyphae, forming a …

We use the fungus Ashbya gossypii to investigate how its polar growth machinery is
organized to achieve sustained hyphal growth. In slowly elongating hyphae exocyst, cell …

Aspergillus nidulans gapA1, a mutation leading to compact, fluffy colonies and delayed
polarity establishment, maps to a gene encoding a Ras GTPase-activating protein. Domain …

Background In order to initiate plant infection, fungal spores must germinate and penetrate
into the host plant. Many fungal species differentiate specialized infection structures called …

Live-cell imaging methods were used to study microtubule dynamics in the apical regions of
leading hyphae and germ tubes of Neurospora crassa expressing β-tubulin-GFP …

The multinucleate hyphae of the filamentous ascomycete fungus Neurospora crassa grow
by polarized hyphal tip extension. Both the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton are required …

Bei neuronalen Krankheiten kann es zu abnormalen Aggregaten von Schlüsselproteinen
oder zur Fehlfunktion von Transportvorgängen während der Entwicklung von Nervenzellen …
