- What caused "Foolish seedling disease" in Japan?arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardBased on the diagram, how many unique ascospores are produced in each ascus resulting from the cross fertilization of two Ascomycetes fungi?

- What are the visible parts here in Squash Stem? Base on the photo below:arrow_forwardThe ascomycete fungus that causes chestnut blight and has killed an estimated 4 billion chestnut trees in North America was accidentally imported from Asia. Why are plants particularly vulnerable to fungi imported from other regions? How do the plants in Asia protect themselves against ascomycete fungus so they are not affected?arrow_forwardDo you have any suggestions on how they could have controlled the spread of kudzu? As you stated in your post, the plant thrives in certain environmental conditions. Do you feel that certain environmental aspects can be purposely altered in an attempt to slow the progress of the plant? I was more interested in the kudzu plant as it has the ability to cause great harm, even to the extent of wiping out other plants and trees. Please explain the full bold information please. Thank youarrow_forward
- Advantages of retaining the young sporophyte as an embryo within the parent plant include the following choices:A) The embryo is protected from desiccation.B) The embryo is able to quickly replicate, producing multiple copies that can be widely dispersed.C) The embryo is able to attain nutrients supplied by maternal tissues.D) The embryo is protected from pathogens.E) The embryo is protected from ultraviolet light.arrow_forwardAfter 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.arrow_forwardCreate a terminal (final) “couplet” for a dichotomous key that could be used to differentiate Ascomycota from Basidiomycota based on their sexual reproductive structures.arrow_forward
