What does AECIAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botany
Relating to an aecium, the small cup-shaped structure in which certain rust fungi produce their spores.
Plant pathologists use aecial to describe the stage of a rust fungus life cycle in which spores form inside tiny cup- or blister-like aecia on the surface of an infected leaf or stem. The aecial stage is only one of several distinct spore-producing stages such fungi pass through, and identifying it helps researchers track how a rust disease spreads between different host plants. The term stays almost entirely within plant pathology and mycology rather than everyday speech.
