In this article we will discuss about the range and development of ascocarps. The fructifications or fruit bodies or ascocarps of the Ascomycetes are structures containing asci surrounded by, or enclosed within, protective tissue—peridium. Their general structure, conditions of growth and shape are extremely variable. Ascocarps may occur singly or in groups, and may be superficial, erumpent (bursting through the [...]
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 [...]
