Classification of Phylum-
Basidiomycota- important
characters
General characters
• Second largest phylum of the kingdom fungi-Basidiomycetes fungi
• It is the highest evolved of fungi including both parasites and
saprophytes
• Causes rust & smut diseases
• Some members form ectomycorrhizae association with roots of
forest trees
• Familiar mushrooms are toad stools, bracket fungi, puff balls,
bird’s nest fungi and jelly fungi etc.,
• The saprophytic basidiomycetes play a vital role in decomposing
the organic matters
• The phylum also includes yeasts and anamorph stages
• Like ascospores, the basidiospores are the sexual spores formed
after karyogamy and meiosis
• Basidiospores are borne externally on the basidium
• Other features of this phylum include the extensive
dikaryophase, clamp connection and dolipore septum
Thallus
• Well branched, white or deep brown or charcal black mycelium
• Hypha has either simple septation or complex dolipore septum
with parenthosom
Dolipore septum
• To prevent movement of nuclei fom one cell to another and to
sustain dikayotic nature of hypha
Types of mycelium
Primary Mycelium : Monokaryotic myceilum by the
germination of basidiospore
• Initially multinucleate due to rapid and repeated
mitotic division of the nucleus and become uninucleate
later due to the formation of septa
Secondary Mycelium
• It consists of dikaryotic phase, each cell consists of
two nuclei of opposite mating types brought together
during plasmogamy
• The process of primary mycelium into secondary
mycelium is called as dikaryotization or dploidization
Tertiary Mycelium
• The mycelium producing basidiocarp and mushroom
are sometime referred as tertiary mycelium
• It forms complex tissue which produces basidia
• The mycelium forms microscopic, thick, tangled ,
woody masses called spawns
Clamp connection
• Hoffman in 1856
• To ensure dikaryotic condition
• Are formed during cell division in the dikaryotic
secondary mycelium having dolipore septa
• It does not occur uniformly all over the mycelium and
are absent in tertiary mycelium
• Binucleate cell ready to hook
• Simultaneous division of nucleus - oblique and along axis
• Bridge formaton - a’ approches b’
• Vertical septum under the bridge, two daughter cells formed. At
the point of orgin of clamp connection - septum formed
Development of bsidium & basidiospores
Symptoms and life cycles of Puccinia,
Uromyces, Hemileia and Ustilago
Types of rust
Autoecious rust
• Complete its entire life cycle
in a single host
• Ex : Bean rust
Heteroecious rust
• Requires two different hosts
tocomplete their their life
cycle
• Uredia and telia in the main
host pycnia ,aceia spore in the
alternate host
• Ex: Wheat stem rust
Barberry plant (Alternate
host)
Stage Spore
0 - Spermagonia Spermatia
I- Aecia Aeciospores
II- Uredia Urediospores
III- Telia Teliospores
IV- Promycelium or basidia Basidiospores
1. Macrocyclic Heteroecious - 5 types of spores
2. Macrocyclic Autoecious - 5 types of spore in single host
3. Heterodemicyclic - 3 types of spore (0, I & III)
4. Autodemicyclic - 3 types of spore (0, I & III)
Microcyclic rust - Teliospore
Chrysanthemum rust - Puccinia chrysanthemi
Symptoms
• Yellowish green spots are found on
the upper surface of leaves.
• Correspondingly on the lower
surface, chestnut brown powdery
blisters are found.
• In severe cases, numerous pustules
may be found which causes drying
up of leaves.
Systematic position
Kingdom : Fungi
Phylum : Basidiomycota
Subphylum : Pucciniomycotina
Class : Pucciniomycetes
Order : Pucciniales
Family : Pucciniaceae
Genus : Puccinia
Species : P. chrysanthemi
Bean rsut : Uromyces appendiculatus
Symptoms
• On lower surface of the leaves small, round reddish
brown powdery pustules are seen in abundance.
• Severe infection causes premature defoliation.
Fungal characters
• Parasitism: Obligate biotroph. It is a typical
macrocyclic (all five spore), Autocious rust (one
hosts)
• Mycelium – well branched, dikaryotic, intercellular,
produces haustoria
• Asexual reproduction : Urediospores are single celled,
oval shaped, yellowish brown, echinulated.
• Sexual reproduction : Teliospores oval, single celled,
brown/brownish orange, pedicellate.
• Basidiospores – Round and single celled
Coffee rust: Hemileia vastatrix
Symptoms
• Initially, pale yellow spot
appears on the upper surface of
the leaf
• Later orange yellow powdery
growth consisting of uredosori
develop on the corresponding
undersurface of the young leaf.
• Plants in all stages of growth
are affected.
Systematic position

Phylum : Basidiomycota
Subphylum : Pucciniomycotina
Class : Pucciniomycetes
Order : Pucciniales
Family : Incertae sedis
Genus : Hemielia
Species : H. vastatrix
Fungal characters
• Parasitism: Obligate biotroph, macrocyclic rust
• Mycelium – well branched, dikaryotic, intercellular, produces
haustoria
• Asexual reproduction: The urediospores are reniform (kidney
shaped) or orange segment like in shape, pedicellate, yellowish
orange. The convex side of the spores are echinulated and the
lower side is smooth (half smooth and half rough).
• Sexual reproduction : The telispores are thick walled, smooth,
turnip-shape.
• Basidiospores – Round and single celled
Life cycle of H. vastatrix
Ustilago
The important diseases caused by Genus Ustilago are
• Loose smut of wheat: Ustilago tritici
• Whip smut of sugarcane: Ustilago scitaminae
• Corn smut: Ustilago maydis
Loose smut of wheat - Ustilago nuda tritici
Symptoms
• The disease appears only at
ear head emergence.
Diseased ear heads emerge
out of the boot leaf earlier
than healthy ones. The
smutted spikelet is covered
by a silvery membrane which
contains black, dry powdery
mass of smut spores.
Systematic position
Kingdom : Fungi
Phylum : Basidiomycota
Subphylum : Ustilaginomycotina
Class : Ustilaginomycetes
Order : Ustilagniales
Family : Ustilaginaceae
Genus : Ustilago
Species : U. nuda tritici
• The spores are blown off by the wind leaving the central rachis
alone.
Fungal characters
• The pathogen is internally seed borne and systemic in nature.
• Smut spores are pale, olive brown, spherical to oval in shape with
minute echinulations.
