The process whereby cells that are products of meiosis acquire the specialized features of ascospores. Ascospores are generally found in clusters of four or eight spores within a single mother cell, the ascus, and are characteristic of the ascomycete fungi (phylum Ascomycota). Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of sporulation. Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a single-celled organism. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of ascospore formation, a process by which a sexual spore, named ascospore, from Ascomycete fungi was produced inside an ascus. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell differentiation. Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of ascospore formation. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the formation of cellular spores derived from the products of meiosis. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the formation of cellular spores derived from the products of meiosis. The formation of spores derived from the products of meiosis. A cellular spore is a cell form that can be used for dissemination, for survival of adverse conditions because of its heat and dessication resistance, and/or for reproduction.
