Ch. 29, Kingdom Fungi pp. 597-602. Topics • Ecological and economical significance • Typical structures of fungal body • Fungal reproduction - life cycles • Fungal phyla - cladogram
Ch. 29, Kingdom Fungi pp. 597-602. Fungi • Eukaryotic, ~100,000 species, varied in shape, mostly terrestrial • Chitin + complex carbohydrates in cell wall • Not photosynthetic • Heterotrophs - saprobic, some parasitic • Important decomposers • Spores to weather difficult conditions • Very hardy organisms • Resistant to wide ranges of osmotic and pH conditions, and temperature
Fungal Body Characteristics Ch. 29, Kingdom Fungi pp. 598-599. • Mycelium - threadlike structures - hyphae • Many hyphae - coenocytic; multicellular without frequent cross walls (c) • Others - septa - contain one or more nuclei (c or d)
Fungal Reproduction Ch. 29, Kingdom Fungi p. 599-601. • By spores - reproductive (asexual/sexual) cells usually haploid, microscopic, spread by wind/water/animals • – sporangia • – fruiting bodies • – conidia • – budding • Sexual reproduction/cycle – pheromones – fusion of haploid hyphae – plasmogamy – dikaryotic stage –karyogamy resulting in zygote nucleus ---- Sexual sporangia
