摘要: Fungi exhibit some of the greatest reproductive diversity across Eukaryotes. In addition to sexual and asexual reproduction, fungi engage in parasexual (mitotic recombinatorial) processes acquire new genetic variation. Reproduction has been studied extensively numerous free-living but comparatively less knowledge exists for lichenized fungi, which are assumed reproduce only through spores, conidia, specialized lichen propagules. We present a conceptual framework describing modes lichens that includes as well accommodating possibility reproduction. To support plausibility these we reviewed data spanning more than 200 years anatomical investigation. recovered evidence supporting 22 27 possible reproduction found no counter-evidence suggest remaining five do not occur nature. This allows greater plurality previously acknowledged lichens, exceeding their non-lichenized relatives.
