Discosia Rubi
''Discosia'' is a genus of plant pathogens in the family '' Sporocadaceae''. It was published by Marie-Anne Libert in 1837. The genus was re-studied by Subramanian and Reddy (1974), who designated ''Discosia strobilina'' as lectotype for the genus (Nag Raj 1993; Tanaka et al. 2011). Later, when ''Sphaeria artocreas'' was transferred to the genus and combined under ''Discosia artocreas'' , the latter was chosen as lectotype of the genus (Fries 1849; Vanev 1991). Vanev (1991, 1992a, b, c, d) made a detailed taxonomic revision of the genus. On the basis of the location of the conidial septa and appendages, he delimited six sections (Vanev 1991), and to clarify the status of the genus he designated its lectotype as ''Discosia artocreas'' (Vanev 1992a). In 2015, Senanayake, Indunil C.; Maharachchikumbura, Sajeewa S. N. et al. (2015) moved the genus to its own family ''Discosiaceae'' . But in 2016, it was moved back into the family '' Sporocadaceae''. Species of ''Discosia'' are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
