The given picture shows the ear of wheat containing a mass of olive-brown SMUT spores. The disease is caused by a fungal pathogen belonging to:
1. | Ascomycetes | 2. | Phycomycetes |
3. | Basidiomycetes | 4. | Deuteromycetes |
1. | Large number of members of Deuteromycetes are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling |
2. | Sex organs are absent in Basidiomycetes but plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of the nuclei of the gametes |
3. | The asexual spores produced by Ascomycetes are conidia produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores |
4. | In Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes, an intervening Dikaryon stage exists before the fusion of parental nuclei |
