The formation of conidia by the conversion of a pre-existing hypha. An arthrospore is produced by the last cell on a hypha breaking off and dispersing. Usually the walls thicken and the cell(s) separates before swelling of each spore. Sometimes further septa form in each cell prior to disarticulation. The formation of a spore following the marked enlargement of part of a cell before separation by a septum. Blastospores are a type of asexual spore found in some fungi, most notably the class Glomeromycota. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The formation of spores derived from the products of mitosis. Examples of this process are found in Bacterial species. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by either a single cell or a group of cells, in the absence of any sexual process. The developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. Formation of asexual, nonmotile spores in fungi, by conversion of hyphal elements or arising from specialized sporogenous cells. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of conidium formation, a processes leading to the production of a type of asexual non-motile reproductive spore of fungi via mitosis at the tip or side of hyphae or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a spore over time, from its initiation to the mature structure. A spore is a structure that can be used for dissemination, for survival of adverse conditions because of its heat and dessication resistance, and/or for reproduction. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of conidium formation, a processes leading to the production of a type of asexual non-motile reproductive spore of fungi via mitosis at the tip or side of hyphae or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of conidium formation, a processes leading to the production of a type of asexual non-motile reproductive spore of fungi via mitosis at the tip or side of hyphae or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores.
