Abstract excerpt
The impact of mutations affecting microtubule-associated motor proteins on the morphology and cytology of hyphae of Neurospora crassa was studied. Two ropy mutants, ro-1 and ro-3, deficient in dynein and dynactin, respectively, were examined by video-enhanced phase-contrast microscopy and image analysis. In contrast to the regular, hyphoid morphology of wild-type hyphae, the hyphae of the ropy mutants exhibited a...
