  • Reproduction in Fungi: Genetical and Physiological Aspects by CHARLES G
    J. Genet., Vol. 73, Number 1, April 1994, pp. 55-56. (~) Printed in India. BOOK REVIEW Reproduction in Fungi: Genetical and Physiological Aspects By CHARLES G. ELLIOTT; Chapman & Hall, London, 1994; 310 pages; s 35.00 It is now ahnost one hundred years since Klebs (1986)laid the foundation of a scientific approach to the study of reproduction in fungi. Since then an extensive literature has accumulated on reproduction in fungi. To present this information ill terms of principles and concepts and to highlight the immediate problems for study is a daunting task. C. G. Elliott has made a commendable attempt in presenting an overview of the genetical and physiological aspects of fungal reproduction. Fungi are remarkable for producing many kinds of reproductive structures in many ways. They produce spores both asexually and sexually. A single fungus produces a single kind of sexual spore: oospores in phycomycetes, ascospores in ascmnycetes and basidiospores in basidiomycetes. The underlying genetical and physiological mechanisms in the formation of spores are complex and we are only beginning to discern them. The introductory chapter examines the advantages of both asexual and sexual reproduction and the persistence of sex in the face of the apparent advantage of asexual reproduction. The reader is reminded that sexual reproduction in fungi not only serves to generate variability, but also provides a means of repairing damaged DNA. Moreover, it can give rise to propagules resistant to unfavourable environmental conditions. In the chapters that follow, one learns that superimposed on the basic event of nuclear fusion are a variety of regulating medhanisms, the effects of which are to determine a successful mating.

The initial phragmoplast has a disk shape with a commonly larger than the originally formed phragmoplast, the diameter that approximately equals that of the daughter nuclei construction of the cell plate requires phragmoplast expansion.

This lecture note has been prepared with the primary aim of alleviating the problems encountered in the teaching of Medical Applied Genetics and Molecular Biology course and in minimizing discrepancies prevailing among the different teaching and training health institutions. It can also be used in teaching any introductory course on medical Applied Genetics and Molecular Biology and as a reference material. This lecture note is specifically designed for medical laboratory technologists, and includes only those areas of molecular cell biology and Applied Genetics relevant to degree-level understanding of modern laboratory technology. Since genetics is prerequisite course to molecular biology, the lecture note starts with Genetics i followed by Molecular Biology. It provides students with molecular background to enable them to understand and critically analyze recent advances in laboratory sciences. Finally, it contains a glossary, which summarizes important terminologies used in the text. Each chapter begins by specific learning objectives and at the end of each chapter review questions are also included.

  • THE Fungus FILES 31 REPRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
    Reproduction and Development SPORES AND SO MUCH MORE! At any given time, the air we breathe is filled with the spores of many different types of fungi. They form a large proportion of the “flecks” that are seen when direct sunlight shines into a room. They are also remarkably small; 1800 spores could fit lined up on a piece of thread 1 cm long. Fungi typically release extremely high numbers of spores at a time as most of them will not germinate due to landing on unfavourable habitats, being eaten by invertebrates, or simply crowded out by intense competition. A mid-sized gilled mushroom will release up to 20 billion spores over 4-6 days at a rate of 100 million spores per hour. One specimen of the common bracket fungus (Ganoderma applanatum) can produce 350 000 spores per second which means 30 billion spores a day and 4500 billion in one season. Giant puffballs can release a number of spores that number into the trillions. Spores are dispersed via wind, rain, water currents, insects, birds and animals and by people on clothing. Spores contain little or no food so it is essential they land on a viable food source. They can also remain dormant for up to 20 years waiting for an opportune moment to germinate. WHAT ABOUT LIGHT? Though fungi do not need light for food production, fruiting bodies generally grow toward a source of light. Light levels can affect the release of spores; some fungi release spores in the absence of light whereas others (such as the spore throwing Pilobolus) release during the presence of light.

Millions of cells residing within the marrow of your bones or the lining of your intestinal tract are undergoing division at this very moment. This enormous output of cells is needed to replace cells that have aged or died. Although cell division occurs in all organisms, it takes place very differently in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. We will restrict discussion to the eukaryotic version. Two distinct types of eukaryotic cell division will be discussed in this chapter. Mitosis leads to production of cells that are genetically identical to their parent, whereas meiosis leads to production of cells with half the genetic content of the parent. Mitosis serves as the basis for producing new cells, meiosis as the basis for producing new Fluorescence micrograph of a mitotic spindle that had assembled in a cell-free extract prepared from frog eggs, which are cells that lack a centrosome.

While the Kinesin-2, 3, 9 and 11 families are absent from land plants, the Kinesin-7 and 14 families are greatly expanded. In addition, some kinesins are specifically present only in land plants. The distinctive inventory of plant kinesins suggests that kinesins have evolved to perform specialized functions in plants.

  • Cell Life Cycle and Reproduction the Cell Cycle (Cell-Division Cycle), Is a Series of Events That Take Place in a Cell Leading to Its Division and Duplication
    Cell Life Cycle and Reproduction The cell cycle (cell-division cycle), is a series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. The main phases of the cell cycle are interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesis. Cell division produces two daughter cells. In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic), the cell cycle occurs via binary fission. Interphase Gap1(G1)- Cells increase in size. The G1checkpointcontrol mechanism ensures that everything is ready for DNA synthesis. Synthesis(S)- DNA replication occurs during this phase. DNA Replication The process in which DNA makes a duplicate copy of itself. Semiconservative Replication The process in which the DNA molecule uncoils and separates into two strands. Each original strand becomes a template on which a new strand is constructed, resulting in two DNA molecules identical to the original DNA molecule. Gap 2(G2)- The cell continues to grow. The G2checkpointcontrol mechanism ensures that everything is ready to enter the M (mitosis) phase and divide. Mitotic(M) refers to the division of the nucleus. Cell growth stops at this stage and cellular energy is focused on the orderly division into daughter cells. A checkpoint in the middle of mitosis (Metaphase Checkpoint) ensures that the cell is ready to complete cell division. The final event is cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm divides and the single parent cell splits into two daughter cells. Reproduction Cellular reproduction is a process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield multiple cells with similar, if not duplicate, contents. Mitosis Mitosis- nuclear division resulting in the production of two somatic cells having the same genetic complement (genetically identical) as the original cell.
