Filamentous fungi are a large and ancient clade of microorganisms that occupy a broad
range of ecological niches. The success of filamentous fungi is largely due to their elongate …

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 …

Mycologists have put extreme emphasis on hyphal tip growth as the primary mode of growth
in filamentous fungi. Much attention has also been focused on the exocytosis of extracellular …

In filamentous fungi, the formation of hyphal branches is a critical process that supports the
ability of mycelia to radiate across and colonize growth substrates. Branching can occur at …

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 …

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 …

Processes governing hyphal extension in filamentous fungi have long been accepted as
being confined to the extreme apex, the location of the polarised cellular machinery …

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 …

Two ancient processes, endocytosis and exocytosis, are employed by eukaryotic cells to
shape their plasma membrane and interact with their environment. Filamentous fungi have …

Hyphae of higher fungi are compartmentalized by septa. These septa contain a central pore
that allows for inter‐compartmental and inter‐hyphal cytoplasmic streaming. The cytoplasm …
