Abstract
The question of how fungal cells attain their characteristic morphology has long been of great interest to experimental and theoretical biologists. Much of this attention has centered on hyphae, the tip-growing tubular cells typical of fungi (for a recent comprehensive review of fungal apical growth see Wessels 1986).
