摘要: Abstract The fungal kingdom is extremely diverse – comprised of over 1.5 million species including yeasts, molds and mushrooms. Essentially, all fungi have cell walls that contain chitin the cells most grow as tube-like filaments called hyphae. These filamentous fungi, such mold Neurospora crassa , develop branched radial networks hyphae referred to mycelium. In contrast, non-filamentous do not form mycelia, but single cells, which reproduce by either budding or fission Saccharomyces cerevisiae Schizosaccharomyces pombe respectively. Finally, there are capable switching between cell, yeast growth Candida albicans . switch from in these so-called dimorphic a virulence trait many human plant pathogens. Highly conserved master regulators three modes filamentous, Ras Rho small GTPases, spatially temporally control polarity establishment maintenance. This review summarizes key roles GTPases during hyphal morphogenesis range fungi.
