Summary Introduction
To determine: The application of work by Márquez and associates in agriculture.
Introduction: Endophytes are a type of fungi which live in the plant tissues and provide the plants with protection against the physical stressors such as heat and disease-causing pathogens. The endophytic fungi, called Curvularia protuberata, live within the aboveground tissues of the grass called Dichanthelium lanuginosum. The grass and the

- What are the advantages of applying a fungicide to seeds? Would it be better to apply a contact fungicide or a systemic fungicide to a seed? Explain your answersarrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forwardThe specific relationship between a legume and its mutualisticRhizobium strain probably depends on(A) each legume having a chemical dialogue with a fungus.(B) each Rhizobium strain having a form of nitrogenase thatworks only in the appropriate legume host.(C) each legume being found where the soil has only theRhizobium specific to that legume.(D) specific recognition between chemical signals and signalreceptors of the Rhizobium strain and legume species.arrow_forward
