Abstract excerpt
Hyphal tip growth is a highly polarized process of cell extension, which may be affected by chemical and physical stress. Neurospora crassa exposed to cold-shock lost its polarized growth and dichotomous branches were detected. These effects were not observed in the presence of 500 mM Ca2+. We compared here the morphological pattern of a snow-flake mutant (sn) and the wild-type (wt) exposed to 4 degrees C. Hyphal...
