  2. Sporocarp (fungus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporocarp_(fungus)

    The sporocarp (also known as fruiting body, fruit body or fruitbody) of fungi is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures, such as basidia or asci, are borne. The fruitbody is part of the sexual phase of a fungal life cycle, [1] while the rest of the life cycle is characterized by vegetative mycelial growth and asexual ...

  3. Teleomorph, anamorph and holomorph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleomorph,_anamorph_and...

    The 1995 edition of the influential Ainsworth and Bisby’s Dictionary of the Fungi sought to replace the term anamorph with mitosporic fungus and teleomorph with meiosporic fungus, based on the idea that the fundamental distinction is whether mitosis or meiosis preceded sporulation. This is a controversial choice because it is not clear that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_fungi

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to fungi and mycology: . Fungi – "Fungi" is plural for "fungus". A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular fungi that produce familiar fruiting forms known as mushrooms.

  5. Smut (fungus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smut_(fungus)

    For the sugarcane crop to be infected by the disease, large spore concentrations are needed. The fungus includes a structure known as a 'smut-whip', a curved black structure which emerges from the leaf whorl, which helps to spread the disease to the other plants, usually over a period of about three months.

  6. Rust (fungus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(fungus)

    Rust fungi are often categorized by their life cycle. Three basic types of life cycles are recognized based on the number of spore types as macrocyclic, demicyclic, and microcyclic. [3] The macrocyclic life cycle has all spore states, the demicyclic lacks the uredinial state, and the microcyclic cycle lacks the basidial, pycnial, and the aecial ...

  7. Sclerotium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclerotium

    After two weeks of being infected by the fungus, the plant no longer generates the sugary liquid, and the fungus produces sclerotia. The sclerotium is an overwinter structure, which contains ergot alkaloids. Claviceps purpurea ' s life cycle is an interesting model for plant pathologists and cell biologists because: [4] Strict organ specificity ...

  8. Sporangium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporangium

    In some phyla of fungi, the sporangium plays a role in asexual reproduction, and may play an indirect role in sexual reproduction. The sporangium forms on the sporangiophore and contains haploid nuclei and cytoplasm. [3] Spores are formed in the sporangiophore by encasing each haploid nucleus and cytoplasm in a tough outer membrane.

  9. Sporogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporogenesis

    Sporogenesis is the production of spores in biology. The term is also used to refer to the process of reproduction via spores. Reproductive spores were found to be formed in eukaryotic organisms, such as plants, algae and fungi, during their normal reproductive life cycle. Dormant spores are formed, for example by certain fungi and algae ...
