Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: teleo- comb. form¹, morph n.⁴

Etymology: < teleo- comb. form¹ + morph n.⁴

†1. Cell Biology. In the terminology of W. J. Spillman: a chromosome or other part of a cell that has an effect on the morphology or physiology of an organism. Obsolete. rare.

1910 W. J. Spillman in Amer. Breeders Mag. 1 123 When a permanent cell organ has a function by virtue of which it affects the development of any morphological or physiological feature of an organism, I propose for such a body the term ‘teleomorph’. This term is derived from the Greek ‘teleo’ (make, accomplish) and ‘morph’ (form or body).

1911 Amer. Naturalist 45 467 Attributing such factor to a specific cell-organ which may be a chromosome or part of such (‘teleomorph’—Spillman), the segregation noted by the Davenports becomes as intelligible as other Mendelian phenomena.

2. Mycology. A pleomorphic fungus in its perfect or sexual state, characterized by the production of spores by meiosis.Such a fungus in its imperfect or asexual state is called an anamorph, and the whole fungus a holomorph.

ΚΠ

1977 G. L. Hennebert & L. K. Weresub in Mycotaxon 6 208 This characterizing form that is involved in producing meiotic diaspores may be termed the teleomorph (from Gk τελεος: teleos—having perfect achievement, being complete, adult).

1988 I. M. Smith et al. European Handbk. Plant Dis. x. 270/2 A few powdery mildews are caused by conidial fungi with no known teleomorphs.

2009 R. C. Ploetz & S. Freeman in R. E. Litz Mango (ed. 2) viii. 239 The pathogen's teleomorph played no apparent role in the spread of the disease.

2014 Sci. News 3 May 24/2 By the early 20th century it had become clear that many fungi could shift between one or more asexual forms, called anamorphs, and a sexual form called a teleomorph.

Derivatives

ˌteleoˈmorphic adj. Mycology of, relating to, or of the nature of a teleomorph.

ΚΠ

1979 Mycotaxon 8 183 As long as organs that are specialized for sexuality are involved, whether all or none of the cytological sexual events occur, the reproductive phase is understood to be teleomorphic.

1994 Microbiology 140 1482/1 The fungus also produces appendages associated with a teleomorphic phase of development.

2014 W. A. Shipton Biol. Fungi Impacting Human Health v. 83 Almost half of Aspergillus species have teleomorphic states.
