Greetings,
I'm hoping you would help me to determine whether the following fungal
terminology relationship statements are correct:
Gemmae refers to asexual propagules borne both singly and in chains.
Chlamydospore is an old term for a singly borne gemma.
Catenulate conidia is a current term for gemmae borne in chains.
When referring to fungi (rather than liverworts etc), gemmae is a
synonym of conidia.
In general (plants or fungi), gemmae refer to asexual propagules.
I'm wondering if I've misunderstood, for example if gemmae refer to
conidial propagules only of a specific group like ascos or suchlike.
Thanks in advance for your help!
cheers,
Juliet
