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 deuteromycetes into various orders. Because the Deuteromycetes are classified mainly by the types of spores produced, they present many difficulties from the point of view of classification. A pure culture of a single fungus may contain more than one spore type, which would justify its placement in at least two [...]
