Part 1-2. Connect this to Horizontal Gene Transfer. A common soil fungal species is suddenly detectedas an aggressive wheat pathogen, decimating cropsaround the world by causing a wheat disease thathas the same symptoms as a well-known bacterialplant pathogen. In an attempt to mitigate thedamage, you are selected to investigate the originsof this fungal disease. Design a plan to address thisissue that includes:A well justified hypothesis for the origin ofthe disease• An experiment to test your hypothesis•A cartoon of how the data would look like ifyour hypothesis is validated (yes, draw agraph/diagram of the data that would supportyour hypothesis)

Fungi are a group of microorganisms that belong to the kingdom Fungi. They are eukaryotic organisms,…

After a long excursion in the tropics you came back with multiple soil samples from different localities across the Andes. You are interested in discovering new sources of pharmaceuticals and want to test the antibiotic properties of fungi collected from tropical soils at different altitudes. How would you approach this question?. What scientific experiment would you conduct to isolate fungi with antibiotic characteristics?. Please be specific about your design, including your expected outcomes and conclusions from your experiment.
Make insightful observations:Consider the ff. two observations. Observation 1: Fungi often grow on leftover food. Observation 2: Fungi such as mold and yeast grow more on leftover bread than on leftover meat. Which of the above observations is the most useful for further investigation? Why?
While working in a plant disease diagnostic lab, you receive a sample of a very dead tomato plant. The plant has rotted roots and the symptoms match known fungal and oomycete diseases of tomatoes. Explain one difference between true fungi and oomycetes that you could observe to determine what type of organism is killing the tomatoes?
The fungus Botrytis cinerea is a pathogen of plants, and causes high losses of strawberry crops around the world. In Europe, most B. cinerea fungi are killed by fungicides (chemicals sprayed on the crops to kill the fungus). However, some B. cinerea are resistant, and continue to live even when exposed to fungicides. If the currently-used fungicides continue to be sprayed on strawberry crops in Europe, what is expected to happen? (Choose one.) a)The strawberries will eventually become larger and more resistant to fungicides. b)The strawberries will form a beneficial association (mutualism) with the B. cinerea, and both will be resistant to the fungicides. c)Strawberry plants will preferentially be colonized by B. cinerea that are not resistant to fungicides. d) The proportion of B. cinerea that are resistant to fungicides will increase in the population over time, and these fungicides will no longer be effective at killing most of these fungi.
Which of the following statements is true regarding mycorrhizal relationships? a this relationship is a type of parasitism b bacteria partner with plant roots c fungi provide energy (ATP) for their partner d all glomeromycota are mycorrhizal fungi e no statements above are true
Mutualistic associations between fungi and the roots of plants are called (a) lichens (b) mycorrhizae (c) pathogenic associations (d) parasitic haustoria (e) mycotoxic symbioses
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION As you read inthis chapter, fungi have long formed symbiotic associationswith plants and with algae. In a short essay (100–150 words),describe how these two types of associations may lead toemergent properties in biological communities.
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.
Please answer the following question. The use of DNA sequences resulted in a large number of novel fungi discovered. Explain how this was possible.
Whichof the following is NOT an agent of nitrogen fixation?a.Mycorrhizal fungib.Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)c.Bacteria associated with legume rootsd.Lightninge.Actinomycete bacteria associated with alder roots
When a fungus infects a plant, it (a) infiltrates leaves with lichens (b) forms relationships by attaching mycorrhizae to stems (c) secretes powerful digestive juices onto the leaves (d) uses haustoria to dissolve roots (e) enters leaves or stems through stomata
The following figure depicts the outline of a large fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an open meadow, as viewed from above. The fairy ring represents the furthest advance of this mycelium through the soil. Locations A-D are all 0.5 metres below the soil surface. Which type of organisms made this structure (it wasn't a fairy!)? What is mycelium? Explain in one sentence each. Which location (A-D) most likely indicates the oldest part of this organism? Explain in 1-2 sentences.
