Abstract
Centrum development in the sooty mold Ascomycete Limacinula samoensis von Hoehnel emend. Reynolds proceeds in an ascostroma which begins as a small cushion of somatic tissue and enlarges by multiplication of cells in an apical region and by cell enlargement. A two-layered ascocarp wall initially surrounds a pseudoparenchymatous core into which the bitunicate asci protrude. Interascal strands of pseudoparenchymatous tissue disintegrate at maturity of the ascocarp. An apical meristem eventually culminates activity with formation of a short ostiolate neck. Centrum development is homologous to the Dothidea type. The centrum development of other capnodiaceous fungi is reviewed.
