Learn about the comparison between ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. 1. The Ascomycetes are characterized by the development of asci and ascospores. But the Basidiomycetes produce basidia and basidiospores. 2. Both the ascospores and basidiospores are formed by karyogamy and meiosis. But the ascospores are borne endogenously in an ascus, whereas the basidiospores are produced exogenously on a basidium. 3. Majority of [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Characteristics of Basidiomycetes 2. Mating Systems of Basidiomycetes 6. Life Cycle Pattern. Characteristics of Basidiomycetes: The Basidiomycetes comprise the highest group of fungi which are often noticed conspicuously occurring in fields and forest areas. Most of them possess highly developed fructifications, known as basidiocarps which may be fleshy or woody. The fungi [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Uredinales 2. Nuclear Cycle of Uridinales 3. Biological Specialization 4. Classification. Introduction to Uredinales: The Uredinales, or rust fungi comprise a large group of obligate parasites. They are called rusts, because of the rusty, reddish-brown colour of their spores, which are formed chiefly upon surfaces of host leaves and stems [...]
