Two types of basidia in Urocystis hypoxis and the implications for smut taxonomy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1999
Abstract
Germinating spore-balls of Urocystis hypoxis produce both unicellular basidia, crowned with 4–6 basidiospores, and what appear to be transversely septate, 3-celled, prostrate basidia with conjugation, through a conjugation tube, between top and bottom cells. This most unusual situation is discussed in relation to the taxonomy of smut fungi.
