ABSTRACT A screening procedure was used to identify cell fusion (hyphal anastomosis)
mutants in the Neurospora crassa single gene deletion library. Mutants with alterations in 24 …

Cell fusion is a fundamental phenomenon observed in all eukaryotes. Cells can exchange
resources such as molecules or organelles during fusion. In this paper, we ask whether a …

Growth as an interconnected mycelial network is characteristic of filamentous fungi and has
been subject to scientific investigation since the seminal works of Buller at the start of the …

This study demonstrates the utility of Lifeact for the investigation of actin dynamics in
Neurospora crassa and also represents the first report of simultaneous live-cell imaging of …

Cell-cell communication is essential for coordinating physiological responses in multicellular
organisms and is required for various developmental processes, including cell migration …

Neurospora crassa has been at the forefront of biological research from the early days of
biochemical genetics to current progress being made in understanding gene and genetic …
