As noted in Section 46.7, mycorrhizal fungi help prevent carbon in the soil from escaping into the atmosphere. These fungi also benefit a host plant by providing it with a share of the phosphorus and nitrogen that their hyphae take up from soil. Most crop plants are capable of forming a relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, if any are present in the soil. Some people have suggested that inoculating soil with fungal spores could help reduce the use of industrially produced fertilizer. What are some potential advantages of using fungi, rather than chemical fertilizers, to enhance plant growth?
A scientist sequences the genome of Chara, red algae, and a tomato plant. What result would support the conclusion that Charophytes should he included in the F’/amae kingdom? The Chara genome is more similar to the red algae than the tomato plant All three genomes are distinctly different The Chara genome is more similar to the tomato plant genome than the red algae genome The tomato plant genome is distinct from the red algae genome.
You have been asked to consult for a biotech company that is seeking to understand why some fungi can live in very extreme environments, such as the high temperatures inside naturally occurring hot springs. The company has isolated two different fungal species, F. cattoriae and W. gravinius, both of which can grow at temperatures exceeding 95°C. The company has determined the following things about these fungal species (see attached image) By sequencing and examining their genomes, the biotech company hopes to understand why these species can live in extreme environments. However, the company only has the resources to sequence one genome, and would like your input as to which species should be sequenced and whether you believe a shotgun strategy will work in this case.
Why do fungi mostly occur in moist habitat? a) Their thin hyphae lose water quickly making them vulnerable to dehydration b) Their spores are small and vulnerable to dehydration c) Their sperm require water to swim to eggs d) Conidiophores require moisture for dispersal e) A and C f) C and D
