What is the meaning of acervuli?
An acervulus (pl. acervuli) is a small asexual fruiting body that erupts through the epidermis of host plants parasitised by mitosporic fungi of the form order Melanconiales (Deuteromycota, Coelomycetes). It has the form of a small cushion at the bottom of which short crowded conidiophores are formed.
What is the shape of acervuli?
acervulus, an open, saucer-shaped asexual fruiting body found in fungi (kingdom Fungi). Always developed below the epidermis of the host tissue, it bears conidiophores (specialized filaments, or hyphae) that form conidia (spores).
What is Acervulus fruiting body?
What is called as Synnema?
synnema (plural synnemata) A large, erect reproductive structure in some fungi, bearing compact conidiophores that fuse together to form a strand with conidia at the end or on the edges. synonym ▲ Synonym: coremium.
What is a Conidiophore?
Definition of conidiophore
: a specialized hyphal branch of some fungi that produces conidia.
Which pathogen produces Acervuli?
acervuli) is a small asexual fruiting body that erupts through the epidermis of host plants parasitised by mitosporic fungi of the form order Melanconiales (Deuteromycota, Coelomycetes).
What is a Metula?
Definition of metula
: one of the outermost branches of a conidiophore from which flask-shaped phialides radiate (as in molds of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium)
What is a Sporangiospore?
Sporangiospores are spores that are produced in an enclosed, sac-like structure, called a sporangium, at the end of the sporangiophores.
What is Annellide?
Annellide. A specialized conidiogenous cell producing conidia in basipetal succession by a series of short percurrent proliferations (annellations). The tip of an annellide increases in length and becomes narrower as each subsequent conidium is formed.
What is Merosporangia?
Definition of merosporangium
: one of the cylindrical outgrowths developing from the swollen sporangium tip in various fungi of the order Mucorales and having contents that divide to form a series of sporangiospores like a chain and simulate conidia upon breakdown of the sporangium wall.
What is a Microconidia?
plural microconidia -ē-ə : a conidium of the smaller of two types produced by the same species and often differing in shape (as in members of the genus Fusarium) compare macroconidium.
What is the difference between Sporangiophore and Conidiophore?
The key difference between conidiophore and sporangiophore is that conidiophore is the aerial hypha of ascomycetes fungi that bears asexual spores called conidia while sporangiophore is the aerial hypha of zygomycetes fungi that bears asexual spores called sporangiospores.
What is Thallic Conidiogenesis?
In thallic conidiogenesis, a preexisting cell differentiates into a conidium. If the whole cell is converted into a conidium, this is called holothallic. Holothallic-derived conidia usually have thick, melanized, and often encapsulated cell walls. These conidia are, in general, referred to as chlamydospores.
What is Conidiosporangia?
Conidiosporangium (pl. -ia) – a deciduous, oval or limoniform sporangium, which on maturing can either germinate directly by means of a germ tube to form mycelium (as do the conidia of the true fungi), or can produce biflagellate, reniform zoospores, thus behaving like a zoosporangium.
Do Zygomycota have flagellated spores?
With a few exceptions, species in Chytridiomycota have flagellated zoospores, appropriate to their aqueous native habitat, while Zygomycota, like Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, are without flagella.
What is the reproductive structure of Zygomycota?
Zygomycota usually reproduce asexually by producing sporangiospores. Zygomycota reproduce sexually when environmental conditions become unfavorable. To reproduce sexually, two opposing mating strains must fuse or conjugate, thereby, sharing genetic content and creating zygospores.
What is the difference between macroconidia and Microconidia?
A mass of hyphal elements is termed the mycelium (synonymous with mold). Aerial hyphae often produce asexual reproduction propagules termed conidia(synonymous with spores). Relatively large and complex conidia are termed macroconidia while the smaller and more simple conidia are termed microconidia.
What is Aleurioconidia?
aleurioconidia) A thallic conidium released by lysis or fracture of the supporting cell.
What does Conidiophore mean?
What does conidium mean?
an asexual spore
conidium. / (kəʊˈnɪdɪəm) / noun plural -nidia (-ˈnɪdɪə) an asexual spore formed at the tip of a specialized hypha (conidiophore) in fungi such as Penicillium.
What is Annellophore?
Annelloconidium (pl., -ia) A conidium arising from an annellide via enteroblastic conidiogenesis. Annellophore The conidiophore or stalk supporting an annellide.
What is Phialoconidia?
A specialized conidiogenous cell that produces conidia in basipetal succession without increasing in length. Phialoconidium (pl. phialoconidia) A conidium produced from a phialide.
Why is Zygomycota important to humans?
The Zygomycota represent an important group of medically important opportunistic fungi, which cause devastating fungal infections in humans and animals with severe underlying immune or metabolic disorders.
