In this article we will discuss about the life cycle pattern of uredinales, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. In the usual course of the life cycle, as a result of infection of the host by sporidia, monokaryotic mycelia are produced which give rise to spermogonia (sing, spermogonium). The spermogonia are also known as pycnia (sing, pycnium). The spermogonia [...]
In this article we will discuss about the phylogenetic relationship of basidiomycetes. It is almost agreed among the mycologists that the Basidiomycetes have evolved from the Ascomycetes. Both these groups of fungi have similarities in their hyphal structure, in having an elaborate dikaryophase and in the development of asci and basidia. It is also accepted that a basidium has evolved [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of myxomycota. The Myxomycetes may be classified into the following orders depending on the nature of sporangia, presence or absence of lime, and its location; presence or absence of columella and capillitium; and colour of spores in a mass. A. Sporangia monosporous, borne on delicate structure Ceratiomyxales AA. Sporangia multisporous, simple [...]
