PLPA 2010 1st Edition Exam #1 Study Guide Lectures: 1-6Lecture 1:- Hyphae eating, growing- Spores reproducing- Mycelium lots of hyphaeLecture 2:- Around 450 million years old- Major groups (phyla) of fungi: Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, Glomeromycota, Zygomycota, Chytridiomycota, Anamalia- Can reproduce sexually and asexually- Catergories:o Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, speciesLecture 3: (Spore Dispersal)- Sexual spores get flicked off (called basidiomycota) (water droplet resemblance) - Sexual spores tube like structure that shoots spores (Ascomycota)- Dispersal:o On exposed hyphaeo On or in fruit bodiesLecture 4/5:- Mycotoxins: poisons from mold- Aflatoxin: made from aspergillus flavus, starts in fields, found in peanuts, corn etc.- Fusarium- Clover slobbers: makes slaphermine- Neotyphodium: grows in grass, makes it stronger/better - Stachybotrys: toxic black mold, likes water, eats paperLecture 6:- 80% plant diseases caused by fungio Also caused by bacteria, viruses, nematodes, protozoaThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Phytophtora infestans: late blight of the potatoes (not a fungus, just like slime mold!)Intro to a new pathogen- Genetically uniform crop - Cull piles near fields- Damp weather- Overdependence on crop- Government apathy/ abuse- Modern disease needs:o Time, versatile pathogen, favorable weather, and a susceptible hostDemo Lab Material:- Plasmodial Slime Molds:o Not fungio Plasmodium (single cell)o Turns in to a fruiting body full of spores- Cellular Slime Molds:o Not a fungi eithero Small o Dispersed as sporeso Never merge into a single cell- Spores created through sexual processeso Sex and zygospores: zygomycotao Fruiting body and asci: ascomycotao Fruiting body and basidia: basidiomycota (ex. Mushrooms)- Dispersal:o Asexual spores of moldso Sclerotia and rhizomorphso Splash dispersalo Phototropismo Forcible dischargeo Wind/watero
