Abstract excerpt
Diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains starved for nitrogen undergo a developmental transition from a colonial form of growth to a filamentous pseudohyphal form. This dimorphism requires a polar budding pattern and elements of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway essential for mating pher...
