Term
|
Definition
| An ascus (plural asci) is the spore-bearing container produced in the ascocarps of ascomycete fungi. Each ascus contains eight ascospores, produced by a meiotic cell division followed by a mitotic cell division. Asci release their spores by bursting. When one ascus bursts, it triggers the bursting of all the other asci in the ascocarp. |
