In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Ascomycetes 2. Occurrence and Economic Importance of Ascomycetes 3. Somatic Structures 4. Phylogeny. Introduction to Ascomycetes: The Ascomycetes and the Basidiomycetes are commonly known as higher fungi. They include fungi which possess much complexity of structure. The Ascomycetes, or sac fungi, as they are commonly known, are characterized by the [...]
In this article we will discuss about the reproduction in yeast. This will also help to draw the structure and diagram of reproduction in endomycetales. Asexual Reproduction: Yeasts reproduce asexually either by fission or by budding. Depending on this character they are grouped as fission yeasts, Schizosaccharomyces and budding yeasts, Zygosaccharomyces. During reproduction of fission yeasts the parent cell elongates [...]
In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of ascomycetes, explained with the help of a suitable diagram. Despite their diversity in many features, the Ascomycetes possess certain common unifying characteristics, namely, the somatic body composed of a loose, indefinite mass of septate mycelium; the mode of asexrual reproduction; and sexual reproduction. In general, they have two reproductive [...]
