One kind of the most extremely polarized cells in nature are the indefinitely growing hyphae
of filamentous fungi. A continuous flow of secretion vesicles from the hyphal cell body to the …

Neurospora crassa has been at the forefront of biological research from the early days of
biochemical genetics to current progress being made in understanding gene and genetic …

We have sequenced and annotated the genome of the filamentous ascomycete Ashbya
gossypii. With a size of only 9.2 megabases, encoding 4718 protein-coding genes, it is the …

Synchronous mitosis is common in multinucleated cells. We analyzed a unique
asynchronous nuclear division cycle in a multinucleated filamentous fungus, Ashbya …

Filamentous fungi typically grow as interconnected multinucleate syncytia that can be
microscopic to many hectares in size. Mechanistic details and rules that govern the …

Ashbya gossypii is a riboflavin-overproducing filamentous fungus that is closely related to
unicellular yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. With its close ties to yeast and the …

The positioning of the nucleus, the central organelle of the cell, is an active and regulated
process crucially linked to cell cycle, differentiation, migration, and polarity. Alterations in …

Genetic analyses of nuclear distribution mutants have indicated that functions of the
microtubule motor, cytoplasmic dynein, and its regulators are important for nuclear …

The filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii has been safely and successfully used for more
than two decades in the commercial production of riboflavin (vitamin B 2). Its industrial …

We used confocal microscopy to evaluate nuclear dynamics in mature, growing hyphae of
Neurospora crassa whose nuclei expressed histone H1-tagged green fluorescent protein …
