In this article we will discuss about the cytology of ascus development, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. Opinions and interpretation are so conflicting that it is rather difficult to take a clear view with regard to the cytology of ascus development. In spite of everything in attempt is being made to give a picture of the whole situation [...]
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 [...]
