Abstract

We report the first successful imaging of GFP expression in Neurospora crassa. GFP was expressed under the control of the heterologous ToxA promoter from Pyrenophora tritici-repentis in transformants carrying multiple or single copies of the GFP construct. GFP was also detected in ascospores but not during earlier stages of the sexual cycle.
