“…Harper called it 'central body', Colson 'lateral granule'. Several other investigators noticed this lateral granule, both in ascus nuclei and in resting hyphal nuclei (McClintock, 1945;Singleton, 1953;Olive, 1953;Ward & Ciurysek, 1962;Schopfer et al, 1963;Weijer et al, 1963Weijer et al, , 1965Berlin & Bowen, 1964;Wilson & Aist, 1967;Robinow & Caten, 1969;Aist, 1969).
