globose rather than elongate and have a distinct
papilla that may be large enough to cause at least
the active dislodgement of the capilliconidia, if
not their forcible discharge.
c) Auxiliary Hyphal Structures
Many entomopathogenic species produce
cystidia [Fig.8.1(1)] or rhizoids [Fig.8.1(3)].
These auxiliary cells are among the first fungal
cells to emerge from a diseased host and serve,
respectively, to perforate the exoskeleton
(thereby aiding the emergence of growing con-
idiophores) or to anchor the host to the sub-
strate.Cystidia usually project well above the
conidiogenous hymenium on the cuticle of the
diseased host; these cells may collapse and
become indistinguishable during the later
stages of conidiogenesis and discharge. Rhi-
zoids may or may not have differentiated
terminal holdfasts [Fig.8.1(2)]. Rhizoids andTable 8.1(continued)
