Abstract

The need to understand the mechanisms of polarized growth in filamentous fungi is greater now than ever before. Many filamentous fungi are severe plant and human pathogens and new antifungal strategies are badly needed to limit their growth. Other filamentous fungi are versatile cell factories used in biotechnology for the production of proteins and metabolites. As their morphology limits the productivity, new leads for strain optimization approaches are sought.
