Fungi are a kingdom of the domain Eukaryota (the Eukaryotes) and are distinct from plants, animals, and protists. Fungi are unique due to the fact that their cell walls contain chitin. Fungi acquire their nutrients from dissolved molecules in their environment, typically by secreting...
, 2004). Natural host range includes cucurbits but also a few weed species (Boubourakas et al., 2004). CGMMV is seed-borne in cucumber, with transmission rates reaching 8% which may drop rapidly after a few months of seed storage. CGMMV, like all tobamoviruses, is very stable and ...
Labyrinthulomycetes protists (LP) play an important role in ocean carbon cycling with an ubiquitous presence in marine ecosystems. As one of the most important environmental factors, salinity is known to regulate their diverse metabolic activities. However, impacts of salinity gradient on...
sporiferous (spore-producing) hyphae, the conidiophores, which are borne loosely on somatic (main-body) hyphae or variously assembled in asexual fruiting bodies; sexual reproduction by various means resulting in the production of meiosphores (ascospores) formed by free-cell formation in saclike ...
