Conidium - Wikipedia
WEBAsexual reproduction in ascomycetes (the phylum Ascomycota) is by the formation of conidia, which are borne on specialized stalks called conidiophores.
Conidium | Fungal Reproduction, Asexual Propagation
WEBconidium, a type of asexual reproductive spore of fungi (kingdom Fungi) usually produced at the tip or side of hyphae (filaments that make up the body of a typical fungus) or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores. The spores detach when mature.
24.1C: Fungi Reproduction - Biology LibreTexts
WEBOct 31, 2023 · Conidiospores are unicellular or multicellular spores that are released directly from the tip or side of the hypha. Other asexual spores originate in the fragmentation of a hypha to form single cells that are released as spores; some of these have a thick wall surrounding the fragment.
Conidiophores - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBThe conidiophores arise singly or in loose groups; erect, straight, or somewhat flexuous; mostly simple but occasionally branched; septate; and scarcely swollen at the tip, with meristematic apices capable of producing conidia in basipetal succession to form characteristic chains.
