ANIXIELLA INDICA-STUDIES IN ASCOCARP DEVELOPMENT AND ASCUS CYTOLOGY

[摘要] The paper deals with the development of ascocarp and ascus cytology in Anixiella indica. The ascocarp arises by the coiling of a hyphal branch. The septate ascogonial coil soon became invested with vegetative hyphae forming a spherical ball of pseudoparenchymatous tissue, which, as the development proceeds, becomes distinguishable in two layers of peridium and the central sporogenous tissue. The asci developed from typical croziers, which were produced by binucleate ascogenous cells, that developed from the basal compressed sporogenous tissue. The haploid number of chromosomes is 4. Chromosome behaviour during ascus development has been described.
