Tests of a cellular model for constant branch distribution in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa.

Abstract excerpt

The growth of mycelial fungi is characterized by the highly polarized extension of hyphal tips and the formation of subapical branches, which themselves extend as new tips. In Neurospora crassa, tip growth and branching are crucial elements for this saprophyte in the colonization and utilization of organic substrates. Much research has focused on the mechanism of tip extension, but a cellular model that fully...
