Lab 3 Flashcards
what replaces basidiocarps in Teliomycetes?
teliospores
what type of lifecycle do Teliomycetes fungi have?
parasitic
how are teliospores arranged?
grouped in sori or scattered within the host tissue
teliospore
encysted probasidia
what are the 2 orders of Teliomycetes? & how is it determined?
Uredinales
Ustilaginales
based on the nature of the basidium
Uredinales basidia
4-celled basidia, each cell with a sterigma & basidiospore
Ustilaginales basidia
septate or non-septate, promycelia produces sporidia (blastospores) which often anastomose with one another
pleomorphic
more than one independent form or spore-stage in the life cycle
what is the max number of spore forms in the lifecycle of some rusts?
5
macrocyclic
species that produces all 5 spore forms
brachycylic
species that produces all 4 spore forms
demicyclic
: species that produces all 4 spore forms but one is diff than a brachycyclic
what are the spore forms produced of demicyclic lifecycles? & which one is missing?
Produces pycina, aecia & telia but lacks uredinia
autoecious
complete their lifecycle on a single host species
heteroecious
inhabiting diff host species at diff stages in the lifecycle
Puccini graminis host description
heteroecious on wheat & barberry
Puccinia graminis spore form description
macrocyclic
spermatiophore
hyphae that produces spermatia
spermatiophore location
inner periphery of the barberry leaf
ostiole
a small hole or opening where mature spores are released
what protrudes from the ostiole?
receptive hyphae & spermatia
what is the function of spermatia
sexual fertilization, when contacting receptive hyphae of a spermogonium of the opp mating type
when is the dikaryotic stage of Puccinia graminis initiated?
when spermatia of the opp types meet
how are spermatia transported to spermogonium?
insects
spermogonium
produces spermatia & receptive hyphae
aecia
produce aeciospores, upside cup-shaped, with chains of aeciospores
where does infection of aecia begin?
lower end of the barberry leaf
aeciospore
unicellular, non-repeating vegetative spore, produced in an aecium, usually resulting from dikaryotization, which germinates to give a dikaryotic mycelium
contains nuclei of opp mating types
when is the aecium stage initated?
spermatia are transferred to receptive hyphae
how are aeciospores dispersed?
wind dispersal
uredia stage
dikaryotic stage in wheat, infects stem & leaves
red rust stage
occurs during the summer
uredia
masses of hyphae on wheat stems, forming urediospores
what replaces uredia?
telila
urediospores
binucleate with nuclei of opp mating types
born singly on stalks
when does the orange colour form?
after urediospores have broken through the epidermal layer
how are urediospores dispersed?
wind-dispersed
telia
produce teliospores
telia stage in Puccinia graminis occurs on what host? & when?
primary host, wheat
autumn - spring
teliospore
2-celled, thick-walled, contain 2 haploid nuclei of opp mating type with fuse to form a diploid nucleus
what process occurs in teliospores?
karyogmay
where does karyogamy occur in Puccinia graminis?
in the teliospore
what do teliospores produce?
promycelia which differentiates into basidia
what happens during winter in the telial stage of Puccinia graminis?
teliospore attaches to the plant tissue on which it was produced and waits for winter to pass (diploid during the winter)
what occurs during the spring in Puccinia graminis?
meiosis occurs while each teliospore emits a germ tube which becomes transversely septate & forms the metabasidium
Each metabasidium produces a basidiospore with a haploid nucleus that undergoes mitosis producing 2 identical haploid nuclei dikaryotic homokaryon –> total of 4 haploid nuclei are produced
basidiospores are catapulted out & germinate into spermogonium
Puccinia coronate host description
heteroecious
Puccinia coronate spore form description
macrocyclic
what are the primary & secondary hosts of Puccinia coronate (crown rust of oats)?
primary = oats
secondary = Rhamnus/buckthorn
what stage can re-infection occur?
uredia
what stage can re-infection not occur?
Aecia
what stage are paraphyses present in the Puccinia coronate lifecycle?
Uredia
paraphyses
hyphal element in a hymenium originating at the base, and growing upwards, usually unbranched and not anastomosed
describe the structure of uredospores in Puccinia coronate
Thick-walled paraphyses with swollen tips may be seen amongst the stalked, one-celled uredospores
describe the hosts infected in the diff stages of Puccinia coronate
spermogonia - Rhamnus/buckthorn
Aecia - Rhamnus/buckthorn
Uredia - oats
telia - oats
describe how teliospore & uredospores grow on their host?
amphigenous
amphigenous
