Test 2 Flashcards
4 main groups of disease causing fungi:
Ascomycota Basidiomycoda Chytridiomycota ZygoMycota
Example of Ascomycetes:
yeasts, cause:apple scab, chestnut blight, and dutch elm disease, also various cankers, leaf spots, powdery mildews.
Ascomycetes are? (4)
Obligate parasites, facultive parasites, and saphrophytes, obligate saphrophytes.
______ have Haploid septate, and many produce sclerotia.
Ascomycetes.
Sexual spores of ascomycetes:
ascospores
Asexual Spores of Ascomycetes:
conidia
Asexual stages usually serve as ______ innoculum, Ascospores usually are ______ innoculum,or overwintering stage.
secondary primary
Wood decay pathogens, mushrooms,puffballs, conks, smut fungi and rust fungi.
Basidiomycota and Basidiomycetes
Basidomyctoa: Smut fungi are _______
facultative saprophytes
Basidomyctoa: Rust fungi are _______
obligate parasites.
Basidomycota have ________ Hyphae and ___ ____ that form at some septa of their hyphae. Unique to this group.
dikaryotic, clamp connections.
basidospores
sexual spores-two hapliod nuclei fuse(Karyogamy) in basidum. then undergo meiosis to form 4 haploid nuclei. Haploid, Infect alternate host to form pycnia.(fruiting structure)
smut fungi produce sexual spores called
sporidia
Chlymadiospores-
think or doublewalled asexual resting spore developed by modification of a hyphal cell or transformation of conidial cells. can be overwintering stage.
Teliospores-
Dikaryotic spores, become diploid, germinate to form basidia and basidiospores or sporidia
Rust Fungi- and infection symptoms.
most destructive of plant diseases, attack mainly leaves and stems. appear orange,red,and white(rust colors)
Autoecious-
requires a single host to complete their life cycle.
Heteroecious-
required two unrelated plant species to complete its life cycle.
Pycniospores also called_______ are _______ and combine with________ to end up forming a dikaryotic mycelium.
spermatia asexual receptive hyphae
Aeciospores-
Dikaryotic ,asexual infects primary host. gives rise to uredinospores or teliospores. Cupshaped.
Urediniospores-
Dikaryotic, asexual. Repeating cycle of rust fungi.
How to manage fungual diseases:
- Correctly identify pathogen. 2.Know the disease cycle. 3.Integrated management approaches are most successful. 4.Can use avoidance,exclusion, eradication and/or protection.
Avoidance-
choose planting sites or times to avoid environmental conditions favoring disease.
Exclusion-
international or local quarantines or pathogen free seed.
Eradication-
Crop rotation, remove infected hosts, remove weed hosts, prune and remove infected parts of woody plants, disinfect tools.
Protection-
Fungicides,minimize leaf wetness, plant resistant cultivars, cultural practices.
Coccal -shape
round
Rod shaped-
bacilliform
Mollicutes-
no cell walls, only cell membranes
Phytoplasmas
pleomorphic or variably shaped
