The filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora is a model system to study multicellular
development during fruiting body formation. Previously, we demonstrated that this major …

The filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora develops complex fruiting bodies (perithecia)
to propagate its sexual spores. Here, we present an analysis of the sterile mutant pro41 that …

Transcription factors containing a Z n (II) 2 Cys 6 binuclear cluster DNA‐binding domain are
unique to fungi and are key regulators of fungal growth and development. The C 6‐Z n …

Gene expression divergence through evolutionary processes is thought to be important for
achieving programmed development in multicellular organisms. To test this premise in …

Filamentous fungi are excellent experimental systems due to their short life cycles as well as
easy and safe manipulation in the laboratory. They form three-dimensional structures with …

During the sexual life cycle of filamentous fungi, multicellular fruiting bodies are generated
for the dispersal of spores. The filamentous ascomycete Sordaria macrospora has a long …

Fungi can serve as highly tractable models for understanding genetic basis of sexual
development in multicellular organisms. Applying a reverse-genetic approach to advance …

During sexual morphogenesis, the filamentous ascomycete Sordaria macrospora
differentiates into multicellular fruiting bodies called perithecia. Previously it has been shown …

Background Fungal fruiting bodies are complex three-dimensional structures that are formed
to protect and disperse the sexual spores. Their morphogenesis requires the concerted …

Background During sexual development, filamentous ascomycetes form complex, three-
dimensional fruiting bodies for the protection and dispersal of sexual spores. Fruiting bodies …
