Abstract excerpt
Under conditions of nitrogen stress, the budding yeast S. cerevisiae initiates a cellular response involving the activation of autophagy, an intracellular catabolic process for the degradation and recycling of proteins and organelles. In certain strains of yeast, nitrogen stress also drives a striking developmental transition to a filamentous form of growth, in which cells remain physically connected after...
