In this article we will discuss about the classification of ascomycetes into various orders. The classification of the Ascomycetes constitutes perhaps the most difficult taxonomic problem in mycology. The large number of species and the morphological complexities and variations in the Ascomycetes have often led to an understandable hesitancy on the part of the majority of mycologists to accept revisions [...]
In this article we will discuss about the reproduction in ascomycetes. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of reproduction in ascomycetes. Asexual Reproduction in Ascomycetes: The Ascomycetes reproduce asexually by fission, budding, fragmentation, arthrospores, chlamydospores or conidia. A new individual may be produced directly by budding or by budding spores known as blastospores which on [...]
In this article we will discuss about the range and development of ascocarps. The fructifications or fruit bodies or ascocarps of the Ascomycetes are structures containing asci surrounded by, or enclosed within, protective tissue—peridium. Their general structure, conditions of growth and shape are extremely variable. Ascocarps may occur singly or in groups, and may be superficial, erumpent (bursting through the [...]
