Fungi and the evolution of growth form

1995-12-31

Abstract excerpt

Fungi belong to the modular class of organisms characterized by an iterative, indeterminate mode of growth; internal age structure; localized rather than generalized senescence; cellular totipotency; and passive rather than active mobility. Growth form in the fungi therefore reflects their absorptive, sessile lifestyle. Aggregation/differentation of a few basic cell types gives rise to multicellular complexes asso...
