Study of external features of plant body and cell structure. Study of vegetative structures. Study of reproductive structures. Identification and systematic position. 1.2 INTRODUCTION Fungi are achlorophyllous, heterotrophic eukaryotic organism. The fungi consist of a large and diverse group of plant kingdom. These include yeasts, molds, mildews, smuts, rusts, mushrooms, morels, puffballs etc. Mycology (Gk. Mykes = fungus; logos = study) stands for study of science of fungi. These are included in a large group thallophyta. There are about 50,000 to 100,000 known species of fungi all over the world. The fungi lack photosynthetic pigments and therefore they cannot synthesize their own food. Their mode of nutrition is saprophytic, parasitic or symbiotic. The plant body is simple and consist of network of branched filaments called the hyphae. The tangled mass of the hyphae is known as mycelium. If the vegetative mycelium is absent the fungus is called holocarpic (e.g. Synchytrium), but if vegetative mycelium is present, it is called eucarpic. Some fungi are unicellular e.g. Saccharomyces. Cell wall of fungi consists of chitin or fungal cellulose along with other substances. The chief food reserves are glycogen and oils. The reproduction takes place by means of vegetative, asexual and sexual methods. Asexual reproduction occurs through several types of spores viz., conidiospores, zoospores, basidiospores, chlamydospores etc. Sexual reproduction occurs in all grouped fungi except fungi imperfectii. Fungi cause various diseases in plants as well as in animals including man. They also play an important role in nutrition of green plants by helping in decomposition of organic matter. Fungi also serve as food, and used in preparation of medicines and antibiotics. Several classifications of fungi have been proposed from time to time. The classification system proposed by G.C. Ainsworth (1973) has been followed in the following text. 1.3-STUDY OF FUNGI 1.3.1- Albugo (=Cystopus) Kingdom: Mycota Division: Eumycota UTTARAKHAND OPEN UNIVERSITY Page 7 LABORATORY COURSE-I BSCBO-104 Sub division: Mastigomycotina Class: Oomycetes Order: Peronosporales Family: Albuginaceae Genus: Albugo Habitat and occurrence: Many species of Albugo occur as obligate parasites on many plants of brassicae, causing the common disease called ―white rust of crucifers‖ Common name of disease: white rust of crucifers Symptoms 1. Small, circular, white pustules are present on the leaf (on lower surface) and stem. Roots remain unaffected. These pustules are conidial stage of the fungus. 2. The epidermis is ruptured by the pressure of sporangia and mass of conidia on coming out provide the appearance of white powdery mass. 3. In some cases, the leaves and other parts of flower become fleshy thickened, malformed, discoloured and this phenomenon is known as hypertrophy.

UTTARAKHAND OPEN UNIVERSITY Page 8 LABORATORY COURSE-I BSCBO-104 1. Mycelium consists of well-developed branched, coenocytic and intercellular hyphae. 2. Protoplasm of hyphae consists of oil globules, glycogen and many nuclei. 3. The intercellular hyphae develop knob-like haustorium which penetrates into the host cells for the absorption of food. Fig.1.2: Cystopus: T.S. Infected Leaf Reproductive Structures: Asexual: Conidia Fig.1.3: Cystopus: Conidiophore with conidia 1. Conidia develop on conidiophores or conidio sporangiophore. 2. Mycelium below the epidermis gives off many erect short unbranched and club shaped hyphae called conidiophores. 3. These conidiophores lie parallel to one another and perpendicular to host surface to form a palisade –like layer. 4. Four to six spherical multinucleate conidia are arranged in basipetal succession on the conidiophores i.e. youngest at the base and oldest at the top. 5. In between two conidia is present a disc of gelatinous material called as mucilaginous disc or disjuncture. 6. The conidia disseminate on the rupture of host epidermis in later stages. These germinate either directly forming a germ tube or form biflagellate zoospores. Sexual: Oogamous type UTTARAKHAND OPEN UNIVERSITY Page 9 LABORATORY COURSE-I BSCBO-104 Fig.1.4: Cystopus: Development of Sex organs 1. The sexual reproduction is ooogamous type. 2. The two sex organs i.e. antheridium and oogonium developin stem near each other but on different male and female hyphae. 3. Oogonium is globular and multinucleate and contains a large amount of food material. It bears septum at the base. 4. Antheridium is elongated, club shaped and multinucleate structure having septum at the base. It develops in close close contact with oogonium at the side. 5. The wall between antheridium and oogonium dissolves at the place of their contact and a tube known as fertilization tube is formed in antheridium. 6. Prior to fertilization, the granular cytoplasm of the oogonium forms a bubble like structure known as coenocentrum. 7.
