FUNGIBRAIN investigates cell polarity and growth in fungi, focusing on how they respond to environmental signals. The project aims to uncover the genetic and cellular mechanisms behind fungal growth, which has implications for antifungal treatments and biotechnology.
Cell polarity and directed growth (tropism) are fundamental biological processes.
Most fungi are dependent on these processes because they grow as polarised filaments called hyphae, whose growth and developmentare governed by physical and chemical cues from the environment.
Such cues include surface-contact, light, nutrients, mating partners, host organisms, or ‘self’ hyphae from within the fungal colony.
The capacity to re-orient hyphal tip growth in response to external signals forms the basi…
