The process of defining the next site of bud emergence adjacent to the last site of bud emergence on a budding cell.

The process of defining subsequent sites of bud emergence such that budding takes place at alternating poles of a budding cell.

Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns.

The process in which a multicellular organism, a unicellular organism or a group of unicellular organisms grow in a threadlike, filamentous shape.

A cell cycle checkpoint that monitors and signals errors in the placement or orientation of the spindle in the cell. This delays the completion of anaphase until errors are corrected.

The growth of colonies in filamentous chains of cells into a substrate.

The portion of the budding yeast plasma membrane where a daughter cell will emerge. The yeast marks this spot with bud-site selection proteins before bud emergence occurs. Actin is polarized to this spot just prior to and during bud emergence.

The prospore membrane is a double-membraned structure that extends from the cytoplasmic face of the spindle pole bodies to encompass the spindle pole bodies and the four nuclear lobes that are formed during meiosis. It helps isolate the meiotic nuclei from the cytoplasm during spore formation and serves as a foundation for the formation of the spore walls. An example of this component is found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

The constriction between the mother cell and daughter cell (bud) in an organism that reproduces by budding.

The constriction between the mother cell and daughter cell (bud) in an organism that reproduces by budding.
