Cell wall dynamics stabilize tip growth in a filamentous fungus.

Cell wall dynamics stabilize tip growth in a filamentous fungus.

Hyphal tip growth allows filamentous fungi to colonize space, reproduce, or infect. It features remarkable morphogenetic plasticity including unusually fast elongation rates, tip turning, branching, or bulging. These shape changes are all driven from the expansion of a protective cell wall (CW) secr...
