Synchytrium
''Synchytrium'' is a large genus of plant pathogens within the phylum Chytridiomycota. Species are commonly known as false rust or wart disease. Approximately 200 species are described,Karling, J.S. 1964. ''Synchytrium''.Academic Press: New York. and all are obligate parasites of angiosperms, ferns, or mosses.Sparrow FK. 1960. Aquatic Phycomycetes. The University of Michigan Press:Ann Arbor. 2nd edition Early species were mistakenly classified among the higher fungi (Ascomycota or Basidiomycota) because of their superficial similarity to the rust fungi. Anton de Bary and Mikhail S. Woronin recognized the true nature of these fungi and established the penus to accommodate ''Synchytrium taraxaci'', which grows on dandelions, and ''S. succisae'', which grows on ''Succisa pratensis''. ''Synchytrium taraxaci'' is the type of the genus. The genus has been divided into 6 subgenera based on differences in life cycles.

Synchytrium Endobioticum
''Synchytrium endobioticum'' is a chytrid fungus that causes the potato wart disease, or black scab. It also infects some other plants of the genus ''Solanum'', though potato is the only cultivated host. Systematics Traditionally, ''Synchytrium endobioticum'' has been placed to the subgenus ''Mesochytrium'', but it has been suggested that on the basis of the mode of germination it should be transferred to the subgenus ''Microsynchytrium''. It was first identified and studied by Vera Charles. The New Zealand scientist Kathleen Maisey Curtis also studied ''Synchytrium endobioticum'' for her doctoral thesis that, in 1919, resulted in her being recognised as producing groundbreaking research on the organism's pathology. At least 18 pathotypes of the fungus exist, most of them with quite limited ranges in Central Europe. The most widely distributed is the pathotype 1. Morphology Like some other Chytridiales, ''Synchytrium endobioticum'' develops no mycelium. The fungus produces a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chytridiomycota
Chytridiomycota are a division of zoosporic organisms in the kingdom Fungi, informally known as chytrids. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek ('), meaning "little pot", describing the structure containing unreleased zoöspores. Chytrids are one of the early diverging fungal lineages, and their membership in kingdom Fungi is demonstrated with chitin cell walls, a posterior whiplash flagellum, absorptive nutrition, use of glycogen as an energy storage compound, and synthesis of lysine by the -amino adipic acid (AAA) pathway. Chytrids are saprobic, degrading refractory materials such as chitin and keratin, and sometimes act as parasites. There has been a significant increase in the research of chytrids since the discovery of '' Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'', the causal agent of chytridiomycosis. Classification Species of Chytridiomycota have traditionally been delineated and classified based on development, morphology, substrate, and method of zoöspore discharge. ...
