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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about the development and dehiscence of ascus and ascospores. Development of Ascus and Ascospores: The process leading to the development of ascus and ascospores is extremely variable in the Ascomycetes. It is very simple in the genera Dipodascus, Eremascus, Schizosaccharomyces, and Saccharomyces, where the zygotic cell directly develops into an ascus. Whereas, in Taphrino [...]
In this article we will discuss about the development of basidiomycetes, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. In a large number of Basidiomycetes the dikaryotic somatic mycelia, both secondary and tertiary intertwine producing highly organized sporocarps or fruiting bodies or fructifications or sporophores which are known as basidiocarps. Whereas, in a relatively few Basidiomycetes there is total absence of [...]
