thallus

nounPlural thalli ˈθaləsˈθæləs

    • Filaments are typically tightly twisted and bundled, but may become separated in the middle part of the thallus.
    • The thallus and rhizoid can be distinguished by their different patterns of cell division.
    • Some causal relationships between morphology and hydrodynamic performance have been established for macroalgae, through theoretical studies and hydrodynamic comparisons of differently exposed thalli.
    • Oomycetes resemble fungi in the form of their thalli, ecology, and the plant parasitic ability of some species and are traditionally studied by mycologists.
    • Ceratopteris spores, like fucoid zygotes, divide unequally to produce a small rhizoid cell and a larger cell that develops into the thallus.

Derivatives

  • thalloid

  • adjective
    Botany
    • Ultrastructural research has revealed that the placental organization is remarkably diverse between major bryophyte groups but that, with the exception of simple thalloid liverworts, it shows only minor intra-group variation.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • More complex thalloid compressions may display morphologies that are localized within a given phylum but convergent among phyla.
      • When a spore germinates, it produces a flat thalloid plant with a greasy blue-green color and odd morphology.
      • Furthermore, logs provide persistent, exposed substrate where thalloid gametophytes can escape smothering by deciduous hardwood leaf litter.
      • Some of these plants are thalloid much like early liverworts, hornworts and mosses might have been.

Origin

Early 19th century: from Greek thallos 'green shoot', from thallein 'to bloom'.
