The mechanisms underlying the growth of fungal hyphae are rooted in the physical property
of cell pressure. Internal hydrostatic pressure (turgor) is one of the major forces driving the …

Money, NP 1997. Wishful thinking of turgor revisited: The mechanics of fungal growth.
Fungal Genetics and Biology21, 173–187. Does the classical model of turgor-driven …

Turgor regulation in two saprophytic hyphal organisms was examined directly with the
pressure probe technique. The ascomycete Neurospora crassa, a terrestrial fungi, regulates …

In the turgid cells of plants, protists, fungi, and bacteria, walls resist swelling; they also confer
shape on the cell. These two functions are not unrelated: cell physiologists have generally …

By computer-enhanced videomicroscopy, we mapped the trajectory of external and internal
cell surface markers in growing fungal hyphae to determine the pattern of cell wall …

Fungal hyphae extend by apical growth. This process involves the polarized traffic of
secretory vesicles to the Spitzenkörper (SPK) and their subsequent distribution to specific …

Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

We used high-resolution video microscopy and image analysis to map the trajectory of the
Spitzenkörper in growing hyphae ofNeurospora crassaand to correlate it with growth …

Filamentous fungi are a large and evolutionarily successful group of organisms of enormous
ecological importance (27, 114). Fungi also have a considerable impact on our economy …

Previous work has shown that hyphal elongation in the fungus Neurospora crassa requires
a tip-high cytosolic Ca2+ gradient. The source of the Ca2+ appears to be intracellular stores …
