Basidia, Basidiospores, Hyphae & Mitospores Flashcards
mitospores
spores produced by mitosis, asexual spores
no plasmogamy, karyogamy or meiosis involved
homobasidiomycota
produce basidia that are non-septate
heterobasidiomycota
produce basidia with septate
what is the classification of basidia among heterobasidiomycota?
chiastobasidium
stichobasidium
chiastobasidium
formation of septae across the basidia, horizontal septation
what genera are chiastobasidium?
uredinales (rusts)
ustilaginales (smuts)
Auriculariales (ear fungi)
stichobasidium
septations run parallel to the vertical axis (vertical septation)
what genus is stichobasidium?
Tremellales (jelly fungi)
when does the probasidium form?
before septation
when a metabasidium has formed, what processes have already occured?
karyogamy & meiosis
what are the 4 parts of a basidium?
probasidium
metabasidium
wall layers
sterigma
where do the diff types of septations form in heterobasidiomycetes?
metabasidium
what are the wall layers of the basidium?
internal layer
external pellicle
where does sterigma extend from?
metabasidium wall
protosterigma
base of sterigma
hilum
region of the spore where the spore meets the tip of the of sterigma, seen as a mark or scar on the apiculus or hilar appendix
what structure is required for spores to catapult?
hilum
what is the role of the hilar droplet?
accumulates water & builds up moisture
what is the hilar droplets source of water?
cystidia, cystidioles & paraphyses
cystidia
cells found in b/w basidia, contain water
paraphyses
support structures found in the hymenium
where is the osmotic substance located? & what is it?
tip of the sterigma & base of the spore
sugar alcohol
jelly fungi have what type of septation?
stichobasidia
what type of septation does Tulasenallaceae have?
chiastobasidia
epibasidia & where is it found?
long, outgrowths at the top of the basidium, bearing basidiospores
each epibasidia produces a spore
Tulasnellales
ear fungi have what type of septation? & what is their order?
chiastobasidium
auriculariales
teliospore
produced in a closed structure on the host (wheat)
where are teliospores produced?
telium
