Abstract excerpt
Expression of rasA plays an important role in conidial germination in Aspergillus nidulans. Conidial germination is required to initiate both infection and asexual development in the opportunistic pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Therefore, we sought to determine the requirements for Ras proteins in conidial germination and asexual development of A. fumigatus. A second homolog, rasB, has been identified that...
