Answer #1

Hemibiotrophic fungi is a plant pathogen that require plant tissue to grow and survive ,thus they complete their life cycle.During plant infection fungi establish a close bond with the host through the development of specialized infection hyphae within living plant cell.Nutrients are taken up by this fungi,this makes immune system week and suppressing cell death .Hemibiotrophic fungi  also produces enzyme which spread throughout the infected plant tissue and causes cell death.

Enzyme produce by colletotrichum sp. is cutenase,protease,pectin and pectate lyases which is responsible for breakdown of host specific protein.Endopolygalacturonase is causing cell wall degradation which breaks the growth of fungus.
