Dolipore septum
hyphae of basidiomycete fungi, parenthesomes (1) "cap" a dolipore septum (2). The cell wall (3) swells around the septal pore to form a barrel-shaped ring. Perforations in the parenthesome allow cytoplasm
to flow between (4) and (5).Dolipore septa are specialized
Dolipore septa vary significantly between monokaryotic and
mitochondria, to flow through their pores;[2][3] those in monokaryotic hyphae have perforated parenthesomes, which allow cell nuclei to flow through as well.[4]
The structure was first described by Royall Moore and James McAlear in 1962.[5]
