Abstract
Ascospore germination in Daldinia concentrica has been studied using light and electron microscope techniques. Preliminary observations indicated that lipid globules were utilized during early stages of germination. Apical wall vesicles were localized during germ tube initiation and were involved in the differentiation of a filamentous germ tube. Wall synthesis occurred during germination and resulted in a new wall layer, which was different in ultratexture to the spore wall and which formed the germ tube wall. Possible implications of the concept of spore wall and vegetative wall types during germination are discussed.
