Study Notes
Life Cycle of Acrasis helenhemmesae
- Mature sorocarp forms a uniseriate chain of spores.
- Development progress observed with changing structures in sorocarps within 30 minutes.
- Spores exhibit prominent hila for attachment and release during the reproductive cycle.
- Encystment occurs post-alignment of amoeboid cells, leading to spore formation.
Cellular Slime Molds (Phylum Amoebozoa)
- Dictyostelia primarily inhabit forest soil and litter.
- Sorocarps structure varies: some groups retain ancestral encystment strategies, while the most recent diverged group lacks this.
- A notable model organism, Dictyostelium discoideum, showcases amoeboflagellate fusion resulting in a diploid plasmodium.
- Dictyostelia possess diverse sexual reproductive systems based on mating-type compatibility.
Oomycota: Plant Pathogens
- Saprolegnia identified as a significant pathogen affecting aquatic and plant life.
- Damping-off disease, caused by Pythium spp., leads to seedling collapse due to enzyme-induced cell wall degradation.
- Control measures include soil sterilization, fungicide application, and managing irrigation practices to minimize pathogen spread.
- Downy mildew diseases like Plasmopara viticola and Peronospora tabacina have notable impacts on crops like grapes and tobacco, respectively.
