Abstract excerpt
Filamentous fungi grow by hyphal extension, which is an extreme example of polarized growth. In contrast to yeast species, where polarized growth of the tip of an emerging bud is temporally limited, filamentous fungi exhibit constitutive polarized growth of the hyphal tip. In many fungi, including Ashbya gossypii, polarized growth is reinforced by a process called hyphal maturation. Hyphal maturation refers to...
