Pileus symmetrical, in some species bearing large conidiaupon its surface.
Ward for the first time traced the germination of the conidia of an Entyloma, and confirmed Winter's suggestion that they were not an independent organism, but actually belonged to it.
He does not hesitate to suggest that the function of conidia in the complicated cycle of fungal reproduction is to form the cellulose-dissolving ferment.
Other insects might feed on the fungus mats that are exposed through cracks in the bark and carry both the sticky ascospores and conidia to other trees.
Both the ascospores of the sexual form and the endospores orconidia of the asexual form will cause wilt if the spores are injected into oak trees.
Hymenium at the apex of a short stem, bearing conidia and spores.
Conidia are produced in cavities of the old hymenophore.
Now, the process of growth is simply this: When the conidia fall on the leaf, they remain there perfectly innocent and harmless unless they get a supply of water to enable them to germinate.
Dessication in an ordinary temperature seemed sufficient to destroy the faculty of germinating in twenty-four hours, when the conidia had been removed from the leaves on which they were produced.
In like manner the vine disease (Oidium Tuckeri) is most probably only the conidia of a species of Erysiphe, of which the perfect condition has not yet been discovered.
The conceptacles were called Eurotium herbariorum, and theconidia bearers were called Aspergillus glaucus.
Repeated many times, these experiments always gave the same result--germination in from four to six hours in the conidia under the blackened glass; no change in those under the clear glass up to the evening.
The parasites can fructify abundantly on these little stalks, and in consequence propagate themselves in the new season by the conidia coming from the vivacious mycelium.
The germination just described does not take place unless the conidia are entirely surrounded by water; it is not sufficient that they repose upon its surface.
The globule becomes surrounded with a membrane of cellulose, and soon puts out from the point opposite to the opening of the conidium a thick tube which grows in the same manner as the germ-tube of the conidia in other species.
This grows in a similar manner to the conidia first named as of such species as P.
Attempts to prove that the conidia and sporangia-bearers originate on one and the same mycelium filament may possibly hereafter succeed.
Sporendonema Muscæ, which is only the conidia of a species of Achlya.
The same mycelium which forms the pedicel for the conidia when it is near the end of its development, forms by normal vegetation a second kind of fructification.
It is not uncommon for the conidia of the Sphæria to partake of the characteristics of a mould, and then the perithecia are developed amongst the conidial threads.
The delicate wall of these parts shrinks up until it is unrecognizable; all the conidia of the panicle approach one another to form an irregular grape-like bunch, which rests loosely on the bearer, and from which it easily falls away as dust.
A most familiar instance of dualism will be found in Nectria cinnabarina, of which the conidia form is one of the most common of fungi, forming little reddish nodules on all kinds of dead twigs.
During summer innumerable conidia are produced, which spread the disease rapidly; in autumn the black ascus-fruits develop and carry the fungus through the winter.
After thoroughly permeating and finally killing the infected fly, the fungus sends numerous hyphae to the surface, from the ends of which conidia are shot forth by an 'explosive' process, to spread the infection if they alight on living flies.
The term conidia he uses to designate the spores of imperfect fungi without perithecia or asci, such as the Hyphomyceteae and the Melanconieae.
Just as the uredospores and aecidiospores both show these specialized characters in the case of Puccinia graminis so we find that both the conidia and ascospores of E.
It is the rapid spread of these yeast-conidia in manure and soil waters which makes it so difficult to get rid of smuts, &c.
Sexual reproduction as above, asexual by sporangia or conidia or both: Mucoraceae.
The mucilage surrounding endospores of Mucor, conidia of Empusa, &c.
In the simplest case the stroma, after bearing its crop of conidia or oidia, develops ascogenous branches in the loosened meshes of its interior (e.
In these three genera the conidia are cast off with a jerk somewhat in the same way as the sporangium of Pilobolus.
Besides peritheca the members of the Erysiphaceae possess conidia borne in simple chains.
The conidia are of a greenish color, and produced on the ends of upright branches which are enlarged at the end, and from which grow out little prominences, which give rise to the conidia in the same way as we have seen in the mildews (Fig.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "conidia" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
