Two modes of cellular morphogenesis predominate within the fungal kingdom; yeast growth
and hyphal growth. The availability of complete genome sequences that span the kingdom …

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 …

Morphogenesis in fungi is often induced by extracellular factors and executed by fungal
genetic factors. Cell surface changes and alterations of the microenvironment often …

Fungi generally display either of two growth modes, yeast-like or filamentous, whereas
dimorphic fungi, upon environmental stimuli, are able to switch between the yeast-like and …

Fungi share most fundamental features of cell structure and function with other eukaryotes.
Cell biological distinctions include the unique chemical composition of the fungal cell wall …

Fungal Morphogenesis brings together in one book, for the first time, the full scope of fungal
developmental biology. The book provides a coherent account of the subject and puts …

Cellular morphogenesis is a complex process and molecular studies in the last few decades
have amassed a large amount of information that is difficult to grasp in any completeness …

The theory of pattern formation, assumed to be applicable to all multicellular organisms, has
been developed largely through the study of animal, and to a lesser extent, plant systems …

Pseudohyphal growth in both haploid and diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
reflects concerted changes in different cellular processes: budding pattern, cell elongation …
