Major insights into sexual development and cryptic sexuality within filamentous fungi have
been gained from investigations using Aspergillus species. Here, an overview is first given …

Aspergillus section Nidulantes includes species with striking morphological characters, such
as biseriate conidiophores with brown-pigmented stipes, and if present, the production of …

The molecular motor cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for most minus-end–directed,
microtubule-based transport in eukaryotic cells. It is especially important in neurons, where …

Aspergillus nidulans has long-been used as a model organism to gain insights into the
genetic basis of asexual and sexual developmental processes both in other members of the …

Environmental stimuli trigger an adaptative cellular response to optimize the probability of
survival and proliferation. In eukaryotic organisms from mammals to fungi osmotic stress …

Histone posttranslational modifications (HPTMs) are involved in chromatin-based regulation
of fungal secondary metabolite biosynthesis (SMB) in which the corresponding genes …

Filamentous fungi have the capacity to produce a battery of natural products of often
unknown function, synthesized by complex metabolic pathways. Unfortunately, most of these …

Acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) is a central metabolite in carbon and energy metabolism and in
the biosynthesis of cellular molecules. A source of cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA is essential for …

Defects in microtubule-based transport are implicated in many neuropathologies. The
filamentous fungi Aspergillus nidulans and Ustilago maydis are valuable models for …
