Apical Wall Biogenesis

  • Chapter
Growth, Differentiation and Sexuality

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 1))

Abstract

Polarized growth is a distinctive feature of the fungal kingdom. Although this process also occurs in some plant cells, notably pollen tubes and root hairs, plant cells generally grow by diffuse or intercalary extension of their walls, a process only exceptionally seen in fungi such as in fruit-body expansion of mushrooms (see Chap. 22). Even growth by budding as in yeasts can be viewed as a form of apical growth, only different from hyphal growth with respect to the degree of polarization of the wall synthetic activities (Wessels 1990).
