Mitotic gold in a mold: Aspergillus genetics and the biology of mitosis

Trends Genet. 1992 Jan;8(1):32-7. doi: 10.1016/0168-9525(92)90022-v.

Abstract

The analysis of fungal mutants has had an extraordinary impact on our understanding of the biochemistry and regulation of mitosis. In this article we review the contribution of work on the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans to the molecular genetics of mitosis.
