The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between plasmodiophora and physarum. Difference # Plasmodiophora (Plasmodiopohromytes): 1. Plasmodiophora is an internal obligate parasite (endoparasite). 2. It is parasitic in its mode of nutrition. 3. The life cycle comprises two distinct phases, the haplophase and the diplophase. 4. The haplophase starts with the germination of resting spore or cyst in [...]
The following points highlight the three ways for accomplishment of plasmogamy in lower fungi. The ways are: 1. Planogametic Copulation 2. Gametangial Contact 3. Gametangial Copulation. Way # 1. Planogametic Copulation: It is characteristic of the primitive planogametic lower fungi (Chytridiomycetes and Plasmodiophoromycetes). In this kind of gametic union, one or both the gametes of a uniting pair are motile [...]
In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of plasmodiophora brassicae with the help of suitable diagrams. Cook and Swartz (1930) showed that the life cycle of P. brassicae comprises two distinct phases, the haplophase (primary phase) and the diplophase (secondary phase). The former occurs in the root hairs and the latter in the cells of the main [...]
