Abstract excerpt
Previous work identified swoC1 as a single-gene mutant with defects in polarity establishment. In this study swoC1 was shown to have defects in endocytosis, compartmentation, nuclear distribution, and conidiation. Temperature-shift experiments showed that the swoC1 mutant establishes multiple random sites of germ tube emergence. Surprisingly, these experiments also showed that even a slight delay in polarity...
