Abstract
Fungi must grow into the air for reproduction and spore dispersal, and
to do this their hyphae contain morphogenetic proteins that respond P
o the aerial environment. The recent discovery of 'repellent' proteins
, however, suggests fungi have more than one mechanism for aerial deve
lopment.
