Congratulations to the Corrochano lab for their nice work in mBio to characterize the role of the velvet complex (VE-1, VE2, and LAE-1) in the sexual development of Neurospora, directly regulating MAK-1/2 kinase expression. See here:

Sexual reproduction generates new gene combinations and novel phenotypic traits and facilitates evolution. Induction of sexual development in fungi is often regulated by environmental conditions,...

A very interesting paper in @CurrentBiology by @Luisjagago @jasnir_ and Tom Richards. Evolutionarily diverse fungal zoospores show contrasting swimming patterns specific to ultrastructure
cell.com
Galindo et al. find that fungal zoospores swim in either circular or random-walk patterns, the latter being linked with the presence of major cytoplasmic tubulin structures. Random-walk zoospores...

This is a very interesting paper by John Hallsworth et al. that will expand your ideas about theoretical biology. Scientific novelty beyond the experiment - Hallsworth - Microbial Biotechnology - Wiley Online Library
enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Practical experiments drive important scientific discoveries in biology, but theory-based research studies also contribute novel—sometimes paradigm-changing—findings. Here, we appraise the roles of...

Our latest paper on transcriptional regulation during Neurospora development is out in @mbiojournal Transcriptional Regulation by the Velvet Protein VE-1 during Asexual Development in the Fungus Neurospora crassa | mBio
journals.asm.org
Most fungi disperse in nature and infect new hosts by producing vegetative spores or conidia during asexual development. This is a process that is regulated by environmental signals like light and...
