Algae are the simplest and most primitive plants. In 1955, Dr. George W. Martin concluded that fungi were derived from algae which had lost chlorophyll. However, Martin's hypothesis did not consider that atmospheric conditions might have been different when life began than what they were in 195...
Fungi and plants are both: 1. Eukaryotic 2. Heterotrophic. 3. Able to consume dead organic matter. 4. All of the above. Explain the importance of fungal decomposers in the earth's carbon cycle. Describe Kingdom Fungi. W...

they’re one of our favorite greens. They’re not considered a common Chinese vegetable, but they’re super healthy. If you can find them, give them a try with our recipe forstir-fried yam leaves. If you’re thinking of growing them yourself, be careful not to eat any potato leaves ...
Because of the limitations of current analytical methods, microbial interactions within plants are often deduced from complete tissues or whole plants, based on 16S rDNA abundance data9,24,25. This approach inevitably makes it impossible to resolve microscale differences in abundance. Hence, bulk RNA...
Biological control of plant diseases with fungal pathogens has been considered a sustainable alternative method comparison to other chemical control. In plant pathology, the term biocontrol applies to the use of microbial antagonists to destroy diseases. Throughout their lifecycle, plants and pathogens ...
In metabarcoding approaches, the trade-off between speed and accuracy and precision of molecular identifications must be carefully considered. Intragenomic variation of the ITS and other barcoding markers should be properly documented, as phylotype diversity is not necessarily a proxy of species richness...
origin of extant lichens and their status as pioneer colonizers of terrestrial habitats18. Because EF are concentrated in the Pezizomycetes and Leotiomyceta, endophytism in the Ascomycota most likely originated in the stem lineage of the Pezizomycotina (≈590–467 Ma). It is not yet ...
The kingdom Plantae is composed of multicellular eukaryotic organisms commonly known as the plants. Kingdom Plantae is broadly divided into Cryptogamae (plants without seeds) and Phanerogamae (plants with seeds). Answer and Explanation: The correc...
In fact, the order with the most taxon richness was Agaricomycetes—outdoor fungi that are predominately mushrooms and polypores that decay plants. Approximately half of the most abundant taxa matched a known specimen with >98% similarity (Table 2). Two of the most abundant taxa did not ...
