Growth and propagation of filamentous ascomycete fungi commonly involves vegetative cell
fusion. In the red bread mold Neurospora crassa and many other ascomycete species …

The ability to grow as filamentous hyphae defines the lifestyle of fungi. Hyphae are exposed
to a variety of chemical stimuli such as nutrients or signal molecules from mating partners …

NADPH oxidases (N ox) are membrane complexes that produce O2−. Researches in
mammals, plants and fungi highlight the involvement of Nox‐generated ROS in cell …

The role of NADPH oxidases (NOXs) in pathogenesis and development in the Curvularia
leaf spot agent Curvularia lunata remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified C …

Filamentous fungi frequently undergo bistable phenotypic switches. Crippled Growth of
Podospora anserina is one such bistable switch, which seems to rely upon the mis …

Filamentous fungi are known as prolific untapped reservoirs of diverse secondary
metabolites, where genes required for their synthesis are organized in clusters. The …

Cell–cell fusion in fungi is required for colony formation, nutrient transfer and signal
transduction. Disruption of genes required for hyphal fusion in Epichloë festucae, a …

Filamentous ascomycetes produce complex multicellular structures during sexual
reproduction. Little is known about the genetic pathways enabling the construction of such …

The ascomycete Podospora anserina is a heterothallic filamentous fungus found mainly on
herbivore dung. It is commonly used in laboratories as a model system, and its complete life …

Hyphal anastomosis is a hallmark of filamentous fungi and plays vital roles including cellular
homoeostasis, interhyphal communication and nutrient translocation. Here we identify a …
