Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Fungi are very successful microorganisms capable of colonizing virtually any ecological niche and host. They represent incredibly diverse organisms ranging from unicellular yeasts to several centimeters tall, colorful, and beautiful mushrooms encountered in forests worldwide. With this Special Issue entitled “Morphogenetic Processes in Fungi”, we want to shed light on the diverse specialized and sophisticated structures that fungi are able to develop for various processes, such as sexual reproduction, spore dispersal, infection or symbiosis.
This Special Issue will consider a wide scope of interventions, whether on genetic/epigenetic regulations, cell signaling, cytology or biochemical reactions taking place during fungal morphogenesis.
Reviews, original research, and communications will be welcome.
Best regards;
Dr. Sylvain Brun
Dr. Pierre Grognet
