In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of aspergillus with the help of suitable diagrams. Mycelium of Aspergillus: It is well developed and made up of a loosely interwoven mass of hyaline, bright or pale coloured, extensively branched, septate hyphae. Some of the hyphae ramify superficially upon the substratum. Others penetrate deeply into the substratum. The latter [...]
In this article we will discuss about the reproduction in erysiphe. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of reproduction in erysiphe. Asexual Reproduction in Erysiphe (Fig. 11.4): With the establishment of the ectomycelium on the surface of the host, the fungal parasite starts reproducing asexually during the growing season by producing asexual spores known as [...]
The following points highlight the top eleven features of basidiomycetes. 1. The somatic phase consists of a well-developed, septate, filamentous mycelium which passes chiefly through two stages. (a) Primary mycelium: It is formed by the germination of a basidiospore and contains a single haploid (n) nucleus in each cell. It bears neither sex organs nor any basidia and basidiospores. It [...]
