Abstract
Asexual spores or conidia are dispersive propagules produced as an alternative to vegetative growth by a diverse group of filamentous fungi. The cellular development programmes which govern conidiation have been intensely studied in the last few decades, although important gaps stand in the way of our understanding of this phenomenon, namely in the areas of the environmental sensing mechanisms and signal transduction pathways. The aim of this review is to summarize the current advances in conidiation induction in the genus Penicillium, and to put them into context with the state of our knowledge stemming from work in widely studied fungal model systems.
