Stromatic cell autolysis in Petromyces alliaceus during ascocarp formation
Stromatic cells in Petromyces alliaceus were studied by transmission electron microscopy. During development of the sexual stage, many cells autolyse while some others proliferate to form intrahyphal hyphae. Most of the cell wall of the autolysing cells is also lysed, leaving behind a thin layer. Th...

| Summary: | Stromatic cells in
Petromyces alliaceus were studied by transmission electron microscopy. During development of the sexual stage, many cells autolyse while some others proliferate to form intrahyphal hyphae. Most of the cell wall of the autolysing cells is also lysed, leaving behind a thin layer. These observations are consistent with the known biochemical changes that take place during sexual development in the related fungus
