A cytological study of Sporormia obliquiseptata Speg.

In recent years, with the use of the more advanced techniques employed in studying the nuclear cytology of higher organisms, knowledge of nuclear behaviour in the fungi has increased rapidly. Not only are such studies of value in providing adequate knowledge of the nuclear structure and chromosome behaviour of the nuclei in these organisms, which may be of importance to taxonomy, but also such studies are of invaluable aid to the numerous investigators of genetical problems within this group. The Ascomycetes, in particular, have provided exceptionally good experimental material for cytological and genetical investigation, and recently a number of these species have been studied intensively
