Ascospore development in Ceratocystis fimbriata Ell. & Halst. commenced in an eight-nucleate ascus. A single vesicle formed along the periphery of the ascus from fragments of ascospore delimiting membranes, surrounded all eight nuclei and eventually invaginated, first forming pouches with open ends, then finally enclosing each of the eight nuclei in a separate sac, thus delimiting ascospores. Pairing of the ascospores followed and brim formation occurred at the contact area between two ascospores. Osmiophilic bodies contributed to the formation of brim-like appendages by fusing to the ascospore walls. Additional brims were observed at opposite ends of the ascospores giving them a double-brimmed appearance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D001203 Ascomycota A phylum of fungi which have cross-walls or septa in the mycelium. The perfect state is characterized by the formation of a saclike cell (ascus) containing ascospores. Most pathogenic fungi with a known perfect state belong to this phylum. Ascomycetes,Cochliobolus,Sclerotinia,Ascomycete,Ascomycotas,Sclerotinias
