(A) Series of images from Movie S4 in the supplemental material showing the formation of microconidia. The time in minutes (seconds in decimal scale) is documented in Movie S4 in the supplemental material. (B) During conidiation, the apical daughter nucleus (located inside the new microconidium) is mitotically dormant, while the subapical nucleus (located inside the phialide) remains mitotically active for several additional divisions. Filled circles, active nuclei; empty circles, dormant nuclei; Hy, hypha; Ph, phialide; Mic, microconidium.
