short cycled rusts-missing some stages
-demicyclic- includes 0 I III IV
-microcyclic- includes III IV
Obligate vs. facultative parasites
-all are host specific, few are more widely distributed
Back
Heteroecious
Front
rusts need more than one host species to complete their life cycle
Back
hyperplasia
Front
increase in number of cells
Back
hypertrophy
Front
increase in cell size
Back
Basidiomycota without fruiting structures
Front
Urediniomycetes-rusts
Ustilaginomycetes-smuts
-at one time these were paced together in the Teliomycetes, but we now know they are not related at all, even at the class level

Pityriasis versicolor
Front
-malassezia furfur is a common endogenous saprophyte of normal skin (part of normal flora)
-it has be isolated from (the scalp:dandrff, chest, back trunk face etc)
-elicits the disease when an overgrowth of the organism occurs
-closely related to corn smut
-procter and gamble financed the sequencing
