S. Pellegrini et G. Patrignani, SEPTAL PORE APPARATUS IN SOME CLAVARIOID FUNGI - TAXONOMIC AND PHYLOGENETIC IMPLICATIONS, Caryologia, 47(2), 1994, pp. 131-139
Some species of clavarioid fungi belonging to the genus Ramaria and ge
nus Clavariadelphus were observed, by electron microscopy, regarding t
o the septal pore apparatus. All the species of Ramaria genus present
dolipores with imperforated parenthesomes. On the contrary, the specie
s Clavariadelphus pistillaris presents dolipores with perforated paren
thesomes. In view of different theories about the phylogenesis of basi
diomycetes, some evolutionary considerations are suggested.
