The American Phytopathological Society (APS) is a nonprofit professional, scientific organization dedicated to the study and control of plant diseases.
A fungus group, also called the Chytridiomycota, characterized by the production of motile zoospores and resting sporangia; the plant-pathogenic species are all biotrophs that are restricted to the cells of their host.
Industry:Plants
A fungus-like group of organisms, sometimes called the Plasmodiophoromycota or the endoparasitic slime molds, characterized by the production of zoospores and plasmodia that are restricted to the cells of their host.
Industry:Plants
Thick-walled resting or overwintering spore produced by the rust fungi (Uredinales) and smut fungi (Ustilaginales) in which karyogamy occurs; it germinates to form a promycelium (basidium) in which meiosis occurs .
Industry:Plants
A general term for interference between organisms that may include antibiosis or competition for nutrients or space; action of two or more pesticides that reduces the effectiveness of one or all (see synergism. )
Industry:Plants
Symbiotic association between a nonpathogenic or weakly pathogenic fungus and the roots of plants in which fungal hyphae invade cortical cells of the root (see ectomycorrhiza. )
Industry:Plants
Symbiotic association between a nonpathogenic or weakly pathogenic fungus and the roots of plants in which fungal hyphae invade cortical cells of the root (see ectomycorrhiza. )
Industry:Plants
To kill pathogens that have not yet initiated disease, or other contaminating microoganisms, that occur in or on inanimate objects as such soil or tools, or that occur on the surface of plant parts such as seed.
Industry:Plants
Specialized cell or organ, often club-shaped, in which karyogamy and meiosis occur, followed by production of externally-borne basidiospores (generally four) that are haploid. There are several types of basidia.
Industry:Plants
A group in the Fungi Imperfecti that does not produce spores, but may produce chlamydospores or sclerotia, e.g. Rhizoctonia and Sclerotium; subsequent research has defined sexual reproduction for some species.
Industry:Plants
The cycling of the element nitrogen from gaseous forms to various inorganic forms, such as ammonium, nitrates and nitrites, and organic forms, such as nucleic acids and proteins and back to elemental nitrogen.
