The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Ascomycotina and Basidiomycotina.
Difference # Ascomycotina:
1. In ascomycotina primary mycelium is long-lived.
2. Dikaryotic phase is short-lived and dependent in ascomycotina.
3. In ascomycotina clamp connection is absent.
4. Dolipore-septum absent in ascomycotina.
5. In ascomycotina sex organs are well-developed in lower forms and gradually reduced in higher forms.
6. Asci are formed after sexual union.
7. Asci contain ascospores (endogenously formed).
8. Number of ascospores in ascus are generally 8.
9. Fruit body in ascomycotina is made up of both mono- and dikaryotic hyphae.
Difference # Basidiomycotina:
1. In basidiomycotina primary mycelium is short-lived.
2. Dikaryotic phase is long-lived and independent in basidiomycotina.
3. Clamp connection in basidiomycotina is common in secondary mycelium.
4. Dolipore-septum is present in most of the members in basidiomycotina.
5. In basidiomycotina sex organs are will-developed or lacking.
6. Basidia are formed after sexual union.
7. Basidium bears basidiospores (exogenously formed).
8. Number of basidiospores on basidium are generally 4.
9. Fruit body in basidiomycotina is made up of dikaryotic hyphae only.
