Abstracts |
The study reports new genus Indiana Khade, gen. nov. and its type species, Indiana bulbigoa Khade, sp. nov. in the family Pacisporaceae. A combination of two genera - Glomus and Gigaspora - Indiana Khade, gen. nov. consists of spores with Gigaspora-like attachment with a bulbous suspensor at one end and Glomus-like attachment at the other end. The species Indiana bulbigoa Khade, sp. nov. comprises of double spore walls at the Gigaspora-like end and a single wall with furrows at the Glomus-like end. The spores in this genus might have been formed due to the fusion of the sporogenous hypha of the two genera. |
