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
