Introduction to Synchytrium Endobioticum: Synchytrium endobioticum causes the black wart or wart disease of potato (Solanum tuberosum). According to Karling (1964), it has a broad spectrum of Solanaceous sp. in its host range. The potato wart disease is [...]
The following points highlight the four types of spore formation in lower fungi. The types are: 1. Sporangiospores 2. Conidia 3. Chlamydospores 4. Oidia. Type # 1. Sporangiospores: These are asexual spores produced endogenously in special sac-like asexual reproductive organs called the sporangia. The sporangia vary widely in form in the lower fungi. These may be flask-shaped (A), cylindrical, irregularly [...]
The below mentioned article provides a biology note on the blastocladiales which chiefly occurs in stagnant water. The saprophytic members of this order occur chiefly in water which is often rather stagnant. Some saprophytic species are soil dwellers. This occurs in the wet soil. Some species are parasitic. They attack fungi and invertebrates such as insects, worms and rotifers. The [...]
