| 21. | It produces yellow-pigmented hyphae and microsclerotia, while producing few chlamydospores and with sparse resting mycelium.
|
| 22. | Chlamydospores are usually dark-coloured, spherical, and have a smooth ( non-ornamented ) surface.
|
| 23. | The chlamydospores, as the resting spores, survive the longest in the soils, usually under cold conditions.
|
| 24. | The fungus also produces resting spores ( chlamydospores ) that can persist in soil for a long period of time.
|
| 25. | In the presence of nutrients, chlamydospores germinate by producing germ tubes that continue to grow and form mycelial masses.
|
| 26. | In addition to the chlamydospore, " P . cactorum " also produces another asexual spore called a sporangia.
|
| 27. | Other Ascochyta blight pathogens have thick walled chlamydospores, which can survive for up to a few years in the soil.
|
| 28. | As the fruit bodies mature, the hyphae that held the chlamydospores fuse and form the peridium of the fruit body.
|
| 29. | Sporangia and chlamydospores form on the mycelia of the infected root, and the cycle of infection continues to the next plant.
|
| 30. | However, chlamydospores produced in papaya juice at lower concentrations or in other kinds of fruit juice are mostly thin-walled.
