Abstract
Nuclear distribution and behaviour during vegetative growth and spore formation in Alternaria tenuis was studied utilising the HC1-Giemsa staining technique. The vegetative mycelium and conidia are predominantly monokaryotic. Anastomoses, followed by nuclear migrations, have been recorded. Intercellular nuclear migrations have only been observed in germinating conidia. Nuclear behaviour during conidial formation indicates that the conidia are homokaryotic. Cytological differences have been found in different monocoidal isolates of A. tenuis.
