Studies in the genus Strossmayeria (Helotiales). 5. Conidia and conidiogenesis in Pseudospiropes: a light and electron microscope investigation
Keyword(s):
Conidiogenesis and conidial morphology in two Pseudospiropes species, anamorphs of two unnamed Strossmayeria species, were studied using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and for one of these, transmission electron microscopy. Conidiogenesis is clearly holoblastic. In these species there are approximately 10 cells per conidium, the apical and basal ones being darker than the others. A gel surrounds the conidium, and what probably is a gelatinous appendage is seen at its apex. The conidial wall is composed of at least eight layers, the exterior surface being distinctly poroid. There are columnar irregularities in the conidial walls. These morphological features have potential taxonomic importance.
