the closed spore-bearing structure of some fungi (especially Aspergillaceae and Eurysiphaceae) from which spores are released only by decay or disintegration; -- called also cleistocarp.
round or oval sexual fruiting body without an opening and with asci irregularly dispersed in centre
tiny, spherical fruitbody (ascoma) in the Ascomycota that lacks an opening and from which the ascospores can only be released by decay or disintegration of the outer wall. View an illustration of the cleistothecium.
a cleistothecial ascocarp.
An enclosed fruiting body that contains randomly dispersed asci.
(pl. Cleistothecia) - Closed, usually spherical, ascus-containing structure of powdery mildew fungi. A sexual fruiting structure.
An ascocarp with the asci surrounded by fungal tissue and without regularly formed openings. (Pl. cleistothecia.) ( 15)
Completely closed fruiting body of some Ascomycotina, containing asci
completely enclosed, nonostiolate ascocarp in which asci are distributed throughout the ascocarp
(pl. cleistothecia): An entirely closed ascocarp. cleistothecia
Closed, usually spherical, ascus-containing structure of powdery mildew fungi. A sexual fruiting structure. Conidiophore - The specialized fungal hyphal branch that bears the conidium. Conidium (pl. Conidia) - Asexual spore formed by abstriction and detachment of part of a hyphal cell at the end of a conidiophore and germinating by a germ tube.
