A Study of Conidiation in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
SUMMARY: Two distinct forms of growth of wild-type Neurospora crassa can be produced by altering the nitrogen source of the growth medium. One form completely lacks conidia and carotenoids; the other exhibits enhanced conidiation and pigmentation. Analysis of the oxidative and glycolytic metabolism of these two forms showed that the non-conidiating ...

Opy2 is an important membrane-anchored protein upstream of the HOG-MAPK signaling pathway and plays important roles in both the HOG-MAPK and Fus3/Kss1 MAPK. In this study, the roles of MaOpy2 in Metarhizium acridum were systematically elucidated.

Zinc finger proteins are an important class of multifunctional regulators. Here, the roles of a C2H2 zinc finger protein MaNCP1 (Metarhizium acridum nitrate-related conidiation pattern shift regulatory factor 1) in nitrogen utilization and conidiation ...

Robustness from flexibility in the fungal circadian clock [PDF]
Background Robustness is a central property of living systems, enabling function to be maintained against environmental perturbations. A key challenge is to identify the structures in biological circuits that confer system-level properties such as ...

Conidial Hydrophobins ofAspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe surface ofAspergillus fumigatusconidia, the first structure recognized by the host immune system, is covered by rodlets. We report that this outer cell wall layer contains two hydrophobins, RodAp and RodBp, which are found as highly insoluble complexes. TheRODAgene was previously characterized, and ΔrodAconidia do not display a rodlet layer

Conidiation in Neurospora crassa: vegetative reproduction by a model fungus [PDF]
Asexual development, conidiation, in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a simple developmental process that starts with the growth of aerial hyphae.

Autophagy During Conidiation, Conidial Germination and Turgor Generation inMagnaporthe grisea [PDF]
Autophagy is a ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved process found in all eukaryotic cells that allows for the degradation and recycling of old proteins and organelles. Starvation can induce autophagy, and autophagic pathway is an essential process for cellular function under starvation.

Apical control of conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans [PDF]
The infection cycle of filamentous fungi consists of two main stages: invasion (growth) and dispersion (development). After the deposition of a spore on a host, germination, polar extension and branching of vegetative cells called hyphae allow a fast and efficient invasion.
