Gene expression during conidia germination in Neurospora crassa on Bird medium at 37C

Conidia germination is critical for fungi to colonize various habitats. We sampled RNA expression at four stages of conidia germination, including fresh conidia (15min), polar growth (120min), doubling of long axis (240min), and first hyphal branching (360min) in Neurospora crassa. Cultures were made on Bird medium, and two biological replicates were collected for all data points. The growth was under a labratory condition of 375C and constant light. mRNA were sampled and compared from four time points across conida germination in Neurpsora crassa on different media
