Explain the importance of enzymes in the interactions between plants and hemibiotrophic fungi, such as Colletotrichum sp. and Fusarium sp.
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.

Complex Interactions among ants, fungi, plants, and herbivores The Entomophthorales are often reported as causing high levels of mortality (epizootics) in nature. These fungi are highly virulent. One example of this group is Cordyceps. When a Cordyceps fungus attacks a host, the mycelium invades and eventually replaces the host tissue. The ascocarp bears many small, flask-shaped perithecia containing asci. These, in turn, contain thread-like ascospores, which usually break into fragments and are presumably infective. Some current and former Cordyceps species...
Compare and contrast the main differences between symbiotic biotrophic fungi and necrotrophic fungi in their interaction with living plants.
What is the economic importance of fungi? Name at least 10 products made using fungi.
9. What are the crucial difference between virus-host interactions and predator-prey interactions? 10. What are restriction enzymes? How do they play a role a resistant to viral infection? How do the host protect their own genome from restriction enzymes?

Explain the cohesion tension theory and its importance for water flow in plants
Complete the following paragraph to describe the evolutionary history of fungi. Fungi and animals are ; however, fungi are , a special type of heterotroph that absorbs food from the environment instead of eating it. protists animals Fungi release special into the environment to break down dead and decaying organic matter so that its nutrients can be absorbed. enzymes carbohydrates Fungi and share a common ancestor, so it is thought that fungi are most closely related to this group. autotrophs...
1. In mycorrhizal mutualisms between plants roots and fungi, A) the plant supplies water to the fungus and the fungus supplies essential amino acids to the plant B) the fungus infects the plant roots, stimulating plant growth through myc factors that act as growth hormones in the plant C) the plant protects the fungus from predation and the fungus supplies carbohydrates to the plant D) the plant supplies carbohydrates to the fungus and the fungus supplies phosphorus and nitrogen to...
