Fungal Genetics Reports
The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is an organism that contains multiple nuclei in the asexual conidia and hyphae. Since the nuclei of dormant conidia are arrested at various points in the nuclear division cycle, it has been difficult to analyze drug sensitivity at the specific point of the cycle in N. crassa. In this study, we have established a useful method for analysis at different stages of the nuclear division cycle in N. crassa. This assay will be a reference for researchers to use the synchronized culture in other diverse analyses.

Fungal Genetics Reports
Professor Ramesh Maheshwari passed in Bangalore on 30 March 2019. His work generated fundamental understanding in diverse areas of fungal biology including the germination and infection of plants by rust fungi, the life-cycle of Neurospora in its natural habitat; fungal senescence and heterokaryosis, and the production of microconidia in fungi. He was a member of many professional societies including the American Society of Plant Physiologists, Society of Microbiologists of India, and the Indian Phytopathological Society, and he served on the Editorial Board for Journal of Genetics. He nurtured scientific curiosity in his students and colleagues.
