Thallus


Definition:

  • (n.) A solid mass of cellular tissue, consisting of one or more layers, usually in the form of a flat stratum or expansion, but sometimes erect or pendulous, and elongated and branching, and forming the substance of the thallogens.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) Thallus development, zoospore size, zoospore ultrastructural complexity and organization, and flagellum length are cited as important in phylogeny of the Chytridiales (chytrids) and should be the bases for this classification.
  • (5) Previous results showed that cell disintegration in the fungus Podospora anserina occured through the action of two proteases, enzymes whose messengers were normally latent during the extension stage of the thallus.

  • (12) Many things, in Thoreau's liberated state, are worth the while to see - the feeding manners of chickadees, and the trickles of spring thaw along the railroad cut, "resembling, as you look down on them, the laciniated lobed and imbricated thalluses of some lichens".
