Symbioses and Pathogenesis Flashcards
some species of fungi form close relationships with ?
plant roots
how is called the association btw fungi and plant roots?
mycorrhizae
Mycorrhizae help plant roots to ?
obtain phosphorus
fungi obtain his nutrients from ?
the plant roots
What’s lichen?
Association btw fungi and algae/cyanobacterium
deux type of mycorrhizae?
- Ectomycorrhizae
- Endomycorrhizae
What’s Ectomycorrhizae?
form a sheat around the plant root but does not penetrate it
What’s endomycorrhizae?
the fungal hyphae is embeddedin the plant root
fungi can cause what in plants and animals?
disease
many fungal plant pathogen form specialized hyphae?
haustoria
the haustoria is for?
penetrate the plant cells and consume the cytoplasm
What in humans, range in severity from ‘’ athelete’s foot’’ to histoplasmosis(really severe infection) ?
Mycoses
Qui reccourent un major risk of mycoses?
those with a weak immune system,immunosupression is a major risk
most fungi reproduce by asexual means (three forms)
- Growth and spread of hyphal filaments
- Asexual production of spores
- Simple cell division (budding yeast)
Some fungi produces spores as result of ?
-Sexual reproduction
sexual spores form from ?
-fusion of two haploid cells to form a diploid cell
what happens to the diploid cell ?
undergoes meiosis to produce a haploid spores
how are named the haploid spores?
ascospores,basidiospores,zygospores
the name of the spore depends?
on the type or organisms
spores are resistant to?
drying,heating,freezing and chemicals
spores are important for?
increasing genetic diversity in the population
yeast?
unicellular fungi
yeast have ?
spherical to oval,
yeast cell divide through?
budding
