Parasitic castration of plants by fungi.
If the production of genetically variable offspring is a mechanism of host defense against parasites, then parasites capable of suppressing sexual reproduction in hosts may gain a selective advantage over parasites that do not do so. Recent work has shown that a range of systemic fungi infecting plants sterilize their hosts, effectively preventing coevolutionary responses by host populations to...
متن کاملCryptic organelles in parasitic protists and fungi.
A number of parasitic protists and fungi have adopted extremely specialised characteristics of morphology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, sometimes making it difficult to discern their evolutionary origins. One aspect of several parasitic groups that reflects this is their metabolic organelles, mitochondria and plastids. These organelles are derived from endosymbiosis with an alpha-proteo...
متن کاملSpecies richness of the parasitic fungi of british trees.
The species richness of fungi associated with British trees is described by a significant species/area curve (r = 0.53, 0.01 > P > 0.001). Introduced tree species cannot be shown to have fewer fungal species than natives, per unit distributional range about Britain. Also, among natives and among introductions, older host taxa do not have more fungal species than do younger ones. This indicates ...
متن کاملRhizosphere communication of plants, parasitic plants and AM fungi.
Plants use an array of secondary metabolites to defend themselves against harmful organisms and to attract others that are beneficial. However, the attraction of beneficial organisms could also lead to abuse by malevolent organisms. An exciting example of such abuse is the relationship between plants, beneficial mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and harmful parasitic plants. Signalling m...
متن کاملSTUDIES OF PARASITIC FUNGI ON THE CANE PEST MUlR
Nurnicia viridis Muir, otherwise known as the green leaf-sucker, is an important pest of sugarcane in South Africa (Anon.',"; Dick). It is capable of causing considerable damage to this crop and has therefore been the subject of repeated pest population surveys. Studies of its life history, pest-host plant-relationships and means of biological control, are all currently receiving considerable a...
