The most common are germ tubes which grow and develop into hyphae.

The germ tubes will grow to form the hyphae and fungal mycelia.

Both ascospores and conidia germinate directly with a germ tube.

The development of appressoria then begins infection following the growth of a germ tube.

This process helps Blumeria recognize that it is on the correct host and directs growth of the germ tube.

From this germ tube, it grows a haustorium.

These settle and after five weeks produce germ tubes which elongate and branch to develop into new plants.

Germ tubes protrude from the apical end of conidia.

This germ tube will continue to grow into hyphae and eventually mycelia to colonize the area.

A germ tube then grows into the haemocoel and the fungus proliferates inside the insect's body.

Two germ tubes may even form from the same spore, the second protruding from the opposite end of the cell.

The germ tubes either penetrate through the leaf or enter through a natural opening such as the stomata.

Germ tube length is dependent on relative humidity, and hyphal cells are 40-80 μm long.

In water, chlamydospores germinate by producing short germ tubes, each with a sporangium at the tip.

They are carried by wind to the cereal host where they germinate and the germ tubes penetrate into the plant.

The germ tube develops into the hypha, protonema or thallus of the gametophyte.

Conidia can recognize the host plant and within one minute of initial contact, the direction of germ tube growth is determined.

Germ tubes seem not to be able to penetrate the hard, waxy surface of the lemma and palea which protect the flower.

The conidia germinate within a few hours and a germ tube begins to penetrate the insect's cuticle.

A germ tube is an outgrowth produced by spores of spore-releasing fungi during germination.

The germ tube differentiates, grows, and develops by mitosis to create somatic hyphae.

This theory is supported by experiments that show that applying Ca2+ externally to the germ tube causes differentiation.

After the conidia have access into the fruit or the stem, the conidia germinate and form a germ tube.

In the presence of nutrients, chlamydospores germinate by producing germ tubes that continue to grow and form mycelial masses.

The conidial anastomosis tubes are morphologically and physiologically distinct from germ tubes.
