Exclusion

A

Legal restrictions.

24
Q

Eradication

A

removal of pathogens from infested soil and tools, and infected seeds or plants

25
Protection
cultural practices, chemical or biological treatments and genetic resistance.
26
Five major groups of plant pathogens
1. Fungi 2.Bacteria 3.Nematodes 4.Viruses 5.Parasitic Seed Plants. Plus: Protozoa
27
Fungi
Small thread like organisms composed of hyphae. | Cause 70% of plant disease, >10,000 fungus species cause plant disease.
28
Bacteria
Small-single celled organisms with cell walls. | prokaryotes, no nucleus. 100 species cause plant disease.
29
Nematodes
Unsegmented round worms, to small to be seen with the naked eye. 500 species attack plants.
30
viruses
1000 species cause disease, very small particles that consist of nucleic acid and a protein sheath.
31
Parasitic seed plants
Higher plants that produce seed, 2500 species parasitic,
32
Protozoa
not accepted as plant pathogens, only flagellate protozoa are associated with plant disease.
33
Koshes postulates (4)
1. Suspected pathogen must be consistent. 2. Must be isolated and noted. 3. Disease must be produced on a healthy plant with isolated oragnism. 4. The same pathogen must be isolated from the inoculated plant.
34
hyphae
microscopic filaments which have defined cell walls.
35
mycelium
alot of hyphae.
36
septate
hyphae that are divided by crosswalls or sepa
37
nonseptate
hyphae without septa
38
haustorium
special absorbing organs; may be simple knob, long tube, or variously branched.
39
sclerotium
dense compacted aggregate of mycelium
40
appresium
swollen tip of hypa or germ tube that facilitates attachment and penetration of host.
41
infection peg
arises from appresium and goes into the cell wall and cuticle.
42
spores
sepcialized propagated units produced by fungi.
43
intracellular
penetrates into host cells, absorbs food directly from host protoplasm
44
intercellular
penetrate between cells, absorb food as it diffuses out of cells.
45
external mycelia
live on plant surface.
46
correct term for food source
food substrate
47
asexual spores
one or more types per species
48
sexual spores
one type per species
49
the normal chromosome content of most fungi is?
haploid
50
Plasmogamy
fusion of cells bringing two sexually compatible haploid nuclei into one cell.
51
Karyogamy
nuclear fusion, forming a diploid nucleus.
52
dikaryotic
having 2 haploid nuclei per cell.
53
teleomorph
perfect stage, sexual spores only.
54
anamorph
asexual spores only, imperfect stage.
55
holomorph
spores in all stages, sexual and asexual
