Stiff mutant genes of Phycomyces target turgor pressure and wall mechanical properties to regulate elongation growth rate

Regulation of cell growth is paramount to all living organisms. In plants, algae and fungi, regulation of expansive growth of cells is required for development and morphogenesis. Also, many sensory responses of stage IVb sporangiophores of Phycomyces blakesleeanus are produced by regulating elongati...
