Sporocadus Acerinus
''Sporocadus'' is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae. Species of the family ''Sporocadaceae'' are endophytic, plant pathogenic or saprobic, and associated with a wide range of host plants. ''Sporocadus'' was established by Corda (in 1839) to include four species, but with no mention of the type. Stanley Hughes, Hughes (in 1958) tried to Type (biology), lectotypify ''Sporocadus'' based on ''Sporocadus lichenicola''. The genus was once synonymised under ''Seimatosporium'' by Sutton (in 1975), but was later classified as a distinct genus by Garry Brockman, Brockman (in 1976) and Nag Raj (in 1993). Liu et al. (2019a) showed that both ''Sporocadus'' and ''Seimatosporium'' are phylogenetically distinct and species in ''Sporocadus'' lack appendages. It is one of the fungal species associated with grapevine trunk diseases in Washington wine grapes and California table grapes in North America, especially ''Sporocadus incarnatus''. Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs), cause ... [...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] |
