Teleomorphs

In mycology, the teleomorph designates the main fruit form (ie sexual form) of fungi that form meiospores with a pleomorphic development cycle . A secondary fruit form that exclusively forms mitospores ( conidia ) is called anamorphic (ie asexual form).

An example of a teleomorph is Didymella ligulicola , the causative agent of Ascochyta disease in chrysanthemums , zinnias and other sunflower plants (Asteraceae); the associated anamorph is called Ascochyta chrysanthemi .
