- Requires two host
- Five different spore stages
- Diploid teliospore
Back
Teliospore
Front
- Made from telium
- Undergo karyogamy to make diploid teliospores
Back
Aecium
Front
- Forms from plasmogamy of two pycniospores
- Create dikaryon aeciospores
Back
Telium
Front
- Formed from Urediniospores
- Produces teliospores
Back
Info
Front
- Class Teliomycetes
- Order Uredinales
Puccinia graminis = wheat rust
Back
Urediniospore
Front
- Forms from uredinium
- Can be made while wheat is growing
- Can inhibit grain production
- Produces telium
Back
Aeciospore
Front
- Dikaryon spore of aecium
- Can infect wheat
- Get blown out into environment with wind current, and form urediniospores
Back
Uredinium
Front
- Forms from aeciospores
- Dikaryotic mycelium forms these
- Creates urediniospores
- Is the asexual? life cycle
Back
Pycinium
Front
- Forms after basidiospores find barberry leaves
- Creates pycniospores
Back
Pycniospore
Front
- Spores from pycnium
- Are in sugar syrup to attract insects
- Make receptive hyphae that are receptive to opposite mating type
- When plasmogamy of two occurs, forms aecium
