Providing an overview of the fundamental aspects of molecular fungal development, this book covers different elements in the maturational and reproductive cycles of selected fungal taxa. Illustrating various molecular pathways in parasites and hosts, the book explores the development of interventional strategies for combating disease. Highlights in
Basic Developmental Processes 1. Pseudohyphal Growth in Yeast 2. Hyphal Tip Growth: Outstanding Questions 3. Conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans 4. Senescence in Podospora anserina 5. Vegetative Incompatibility in Filamentous Ascomycetes 6. Vegetative Development in Coprinus cinereus 7. Blue Light Perception and Signal Transduction in Neurospora crassa 8. Circadian Rhythms in Neurospora crassa 9. Sexual Development in Ascomycetes: Fruit Body Formation of Aspergillus nidulans 10. Sexual Development in Basidiomycetes 11. Spore Killers: Meiotic Drive Elements That Distort Genetic Ratios Interactions of Fungi with Different Hosts 12. Living Together Underground: A Molecular Glimpse of the Ectomycorrhizal Symbiosis 13.
