The " Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale ( C . psl ) " complex is a unicellular, diploid zygospore.
32.
A zygospore remains dormant while it waits for environmental cues, such as light, moisture, heat, or chemicals secreted by plants.
33.
Blakeslee reported that zygospores were only formed by a thallus with two different types of basidia, which were given + /-designations.
34.
In all Volvocaceans, the fertilization reaction results in the production of a dormant diploid zygote ( zygospore ) capable of surviving in harsh environments.
35.
Nuclear karyogamy and meiosis ( sexual recombination ) occur within the zygospores, which are thought to be long-lived and resistant to adverse conditions.
36.
As in other Zygomycete fungi, the zygosporangia of " Zoophthora " serve as the site where zygospores mature and germinate into vegetative tissue.
37.
Zygospores are the sexual structures of " P . blakesleeanus " in which the diploid zygote is formed and meiosis is presumed to take place.
38.
As a member of the " Zygomycota ", sexual reproduction in " C . bertholletiae " is through the formation of zygospores.
39.
Their coenocytic; sporulation occurs by production of forcibly discharged dispersive or infective conidia; and their zygospores ( which also function as resting spores ) are homothallic.
40.
Conjugation ( transmission of DNA through nucleus fusion to form a hypnozygote or zygospore, which is a term for a zygote that lies dormant until optimal conditions arise)
