Table 3. Size ranges of developmental stages during protoperithecium morphogenesis.

Developmental stage	Min. ø	Max. ø	Mean ø *
Trunk hypha	5 µm	10 µm	6 µm
Ascogonial coil	9 µm	13 µm	12 µm
Ascogonial coil with branches and enveloping hyphae	10 µm	24 µm	17 µm
Subspherical protoperithecium with enveloping hyphae	24 µm	100 µm	60 µm
Mature protoperithecium	37 µm	100 µm	74 µm

^*Mean diameter were calculated from 100 individual measurements on 2–6 day old wild type cultures grown on LSA.
