First, we found out that the spores of homokaryons germinate faster and to a higher proportion than dikaryons, whereas dikaryons grow significantly faster and create a more complex hyphal network irrespective of host plant species https://t.co/kCfHMqvpi1
@KiwiYoung Indeed, we have a system here for watching hyphae grow in a sort of maze that is fascinating so I'm hoping to get involved. Here is a paper that measured hyphae with RhizoVision: https://t.co/SK9CBT0zX7
@xerantheum Thank you Nhu! With the normal caveat that it would require high contrast of hyphae and background and that the hyphae are not overlapping :) Here is an example paper that did this: https://t.co/SK9CBT0zX7
アーバスキュラー菌根菌Rhizophagus irregularisのホモカリオンとダイカリオンで生活史形質を比較した研究。ホモカリオンの方が胞子の発芽が早く発芽率も高いが、ダイカリオンは発芽後の菌糸の成長が速く、分岐の多い複雑な菌糸ネットワークを形成。などなど。
