Chromista, Oomycetes Flashcards
Causal organism of damping off?
Pythium
What defines the kingdom Chromista?
Filamentus
Symptoms of damping off?
Seeds turn soft and mushy, no germination. Roots develop lesions, water soaked spots, and darkening. Stems develop necrotic spots, water soaking, and degradation. Older ants lose vigor. Produce water rot.
Signs of damping off?
White, fragile, slender mycelia growth (rare). Oospores in affected tissue.
Disease cycle of damping off?
Resting oospore - germinates around 68f producing sporangium - zoospores release - infect host - produce enzymes that cause tissue death - produce zoosporangia to produce zoospores and/or have sex to produce oospores
Favorable conditions for damping off?
Wet, cool.
Losses caused by damping off?
Seed, seedling losses, reduced stand, wilting and stunting of older, rotting of produce.
Management of damping off?
Sanitation, plant in correct conditions, do not over fertilize, seed treatment, improve drainage. No resistance available. Few fungicides affective against bc not a fungi.
Family if downy mildews?
Peronosporaceae
Significant about peronosporaceae?
Sporangea of determinate growth,wind borne, obligate parasites specialized to host.
Causal organism of downy mildew of grape?
Plasmopara viticola
Symptoms of downy mildew of grape?
Upper leaf surfaces - pale, bleached, yellow spots; spots become necrotic. Developing shoots are distorted. Berries wrinkle and toughen, develop reddish brown color.
Signs of downy mildew of grape?
Found on leaf undersides only in conditions of high moisture/ high humidity.
Disease cycle of downy mildew of grape?
Overwinters in woody stems or mycelium in infected parts; mycelium - symptoms and signs - cycle; oospores in debris - germinate in wet weather - form sporangia and oospores - wind borne/ rain borne - symptoms and signs - repeat at sporangia or senescence - sex - oospores.
Favorable conditions for downy mildew of grape.?
68-70f wet, high humidity
Losses from downy mildew of grape?
Plant vigor, quantity, quality.
Management for downy mildew of grape?
Resistance available especially in North American native varieties. Fungicide when needed - when wet at 7 to 10 day intervals. Bordeaux mixture.
Downy mildew of soybeans causal organism?
Peronospora manshrica
Symptoms of downy mildew of soybean?
Pale yellow spots on upper leaf surface.seed bleached. Some varieties have leaf and stem distortion.
Signs of downy mildew of soybean?
Sporangia on undersides of leaves.
Disease cycle of downy mildew of soybean?
Seed borne - systemic - symptoms and signs - sporangia and zoospores to repeat or oospores in debris; oospores in debris - germinate to sporangia and zoospores - infect to symptoms and signs - repeat or form oospores.
Favorable conditions for downy mildew of soybeans?
68-77f for infection. Wet high humidity. 50-80f for sporangia. Older leaves will develop resistance.
Losses from downy mildew of soybean?
Quantity and quality. Up to 20% loss in cool/ wet seasons.
