981468548 | hyphae | network of tiny filaments | |
981468549 | chitin | nitrogen-containing polysaccaride that strengthen fungal cell walls | |
981468550 | mycelium | interwoven mass of fungal hyphae | |
981468551 | septa | cross-walls dividing fungal cells in hyphae | |
981468552 | coenocytic fungi | fungus that consists of continuous cytoplasmic mass, similar to plasmodial slime mold | |
981468553 | haustoria | specialized hyphae used to extract nutrients from, or exchange nutrients with, their plant hosts | |
981468554 | mycorrhizae | mutualistic relationships between fungi and plants | |
981468555 | ectomycorrhizal fungi | form sheats of hyphae over the surface of a root and grow into the extracellular spaces of the root cortex | |
981468556 | arbusucular mycorrhizal fungi | extend branching hyphae through root cell wall and into tubes formed by invagination (pushing inward) of the root cell plasma membrane hyphae penetrate root cells | |
981468557 | spores | haploid cells that form new mycelia after germinating | |
981468558 | pheromones | sexual signaling molecules | |
981468559 | plasmogamy | union of cytoplasms of two parent mycelia | |
981468560 | heterokaryon | mycelium after plasmogamy, containing coexisting, genetically different nuclei | |
981468561 | dikaryotic | mycelium that contains two different haploid nuclei, keep two separate haploid nuclei instead of one diploid set | |
981468562 | karyogamy | fusion of haploid nuclei, producing diploid cells | |
981468563 | mold | fungi that reproduce asexually by growing as filamentous fungi that produce (haploid) spores by mitosis | |
981468564 | deuteromycetes | group of fungi with unknown sexual reproduction | |
