Later in the same English translation, he describes the same fruit as a "Nana made in the manner of a Pine apple", where he used another Tupi word nanas, meaning 'excellent fruit'. [16] This usage was adopted by many European languages and led to the plant's scientific binomial Ananas comosus, where comosus 'tufted' refers to the stem of the plant.
Mycosphaerella is a genus of ascomycota.With more than 10,000 species, it is the largest genus of plant pathogen fungi.. The following introduction about the fungal genus Mycosphaerella is copied (with permission) from the dissertation of W. Quaedvlieg (named: Re-evaluating Mycosphaerella and allied genera).
The history of the Colletotrichum genus is a case study on the tension between the lumpers and splitters. [2] While the genus Colletotrichum was first proposed in 1831, [3] the exact definition of Colletotrichum and the species that belong in this genus has been in flux ever since. [4]
The subdivision contains 10 classes, 21 orders, and 38 families. [3] Over 8400 species of Pucciniomycotina have been described - more than 8% of all described fungi. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The subdivision is considered a sister group to Ustilaginomycotina and Agaricomycotina , which may share the basal lineage of Basidiomycota, although this is uncertain ...
Rhizopus oligosporus is a fungus of the family Mucoraceae and is a widely used starter culture for the production of tempeh at home and industrially. As the mold grows it produces fluffy, white mycelia, binding the beans together to create an edible "cake" of partly catabolized soybeans.
Phytophthora nicotianae has a broad host range comprising 255 genera from 90 families. [4] Hosts include tobacco, onion, tomato, ornamentals, cotton, pepper, and citrus plants.
The Agaricomycetes are a class of fungi in the division Basidiomycota.The taxon is roughly identical to that defined for the Homobasidiomycetes (alternatively called holobasidiomycetes) by Hibbett & Thorn, [2] with the inclusion of Auriculariales and Sebacinales.
The fruit bodies of Oxyporus species can exist in either a pileate (with cap and stipe) form, or a resupinate form (like a crust on the surface of the substrate).In the latter case, the crust is typically broadly attached to the substrate and has a fibrous to woody texture.
