31
Q

how many basidia form per teliospore?

A

2

32
Q

what does the presence of sterigma indicate?

A

karyogamy & meiosis have occurred

33
Q

what structure isn’t formed in rusts?

A

hymenium

34
Q

what host do basidiospore infect?

A

barberry

35
Q

what are the 2 hosts of rusts?

A

wheat & barberry

36
Q

how is migration facilitated in rusts?

A

through E sources, method of acquiring alternative food sources

37
Q

In rusts, basidia come directly from a ______, there is no ______

A

spore

hymenium

38
Q

what are the steps in basidium development?

A
  1. Clamp connection forms
  2. Gamete nuclei are in a common septate
  3. Karyogamy & vacuolar development
  4. Apical cap, basal vacuole, meiosis & initial sterigma formation
  5. Sterigma development, swelling of basal vacuole & development of spore initials
  6. Extrusion of nuclei into developing spores
  7. Mature spores on sterigma
39
Q

when the sterigma tip inflates there is an extension of what 2 layers?

A

internal basidial layers

external basidial pellicle

40
Q

wall layers def

A

protoplast boundary to exterior covering of the wall

41
Q

what are the wall layers

A

endosporium

episporium

exospordium

perisporeium

ectosporium

42
Q

what are the spore regions

A

germ pore

hilar depression

hilar appendix

hilum

43
Q

germ pore

A

region of the spore from which germination occurs

not all basidiospores have pores

44
Q

hilar depression

A

important for dissemination of spores, concave side providing lift

45
Q

hilar appendix (apiculus)

A

projection of the spore which connects it to the sterigma

region in which there is a point of humidity that can interact with the osmoticum (hilar droplet)

46
Q

hilum

A

mark or scar on the apiculus or hilar appendix at the point of attachment to the sterigma

47
Q

what point of the spore interacts with the osmoticum

A

hilar appendix/apiculus

48
Q

how is the spore shape produced?

A

elasticity of the wall & turgor pressure within the spore

49
Q

describe how basidia sit on sterigma

A

sit on a slight angle, weakly towards the vertical axis of the basidium

50
Q

buller’s droplet

A

swelling water droplet forms at the base of the spore, at the junction with the sterigma

51
Q

describe the surface tension catapult mechanism

A

Sudden change in the osmoticum in the spore causing water to spread all over the spore
Spore covered with a liquid film

When Buller’s droplet fuses with a film of liquid on the surface of the spore, a shift in mass occurs causing the center of gravity to change
Buller’s drop causes the change in center of gravity

Tension on the sterigma is released, it springs back & catapults the spore

52
Q

when does the sterigma spring back?

A

when the tension is released

53
Q

statismospores

A

static, no catapulting, no convex & concave sides of the spore

54
Q

what families have a statismospore release method?

A

russulaceae

lactariaceae

55
Q

ballistospore

A

forcible discharge (catapulting)

56
Q

what type of fungi have ballistospore dispersal method?

A

agarics (catapulting occurs on gills)

57
Q

describe the path of travel spores take when catapulted

A

not parabolic traveling, a sporabola: this path is taken due to the concave & convex sides of the spore

the concave side providing lift causes the spore to travel parallel with the ground for some time

58
Q

what causes the sporabola pathway?

A

spore shape

specific gravity

59
Q

surface tension catapulting occurs in:

A

Typical mushrooms

Jelly fungi

Rust fungi

Some yeasts

60
Q

catapulting steps

A

A. Spores are asymmetrically oriented on the sterigmata

B. Mannitol & hexoses are secreted from the base of the spore & a film of water surrounds the spore. A water droplet appears seconds before discharge shifting the center of gravity

C. The water film & droplet combine causing a rapid displacement of the spore’s center of gravity. The shifted mass is opposed by the sterigma which is under high turgor pressure & elastic force. With rapid movement of water away from the apiculus & sudden release of turgor pressure in the sterigma the spore is catapulted away in the direction of the displaced center of gravity.

61
