Plant pathogenic fungi and fungal-like organisms
The cells are arranged in filaments or hyphae and cause diseases of cultivated crops. Most species are saphrophytic as well as pathogenic and can be grown in artificial cultures. The transmission may occur through the seeds, through the air and soil, or, less often, through insects. Many species from the true fungi have teleomorphic (sexual) as well as anamorphic (asexual) forms.
Taxonomically, 3 unrelated groups of organisms are listed here:
- True fungi like the Ascomycota or Basidiomycota. They belong to the Opisthokonta group of organisms together with the animals.
- Oomycota and Labyrinthulomycetes belonging to the Heterokonta group of organisms.
- Plasmodiophorales belonging to the Rhizaria group of organisms.
Note:
This page only deals with plant pathogens. For beneficial groups of fungi and fungal-like organisms in the system see
