In this article we will discuss about the nature of asci and ascospores. The members of the Ascomycetes are characterized by the development of asci and ascospores. In the large majority of them the asci are produced in an ascocarp. There are also Ascomycetes whose asci remain naked and are not enclosed in an ascocarp. In general, they remain intermingled [...]
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 [...]
