To purchase this program please visit www.greatpacificmedia.com Segment from the program Fungi: Decomposers and Parasites. DVD Description Our Fungi DVD begins by describing hyphae - the filamentous, thread-like fungal cells that intertwine to form interwoven masses called mycelium which are usually only visible when differentiated into sexual structures such as mushrooms, puffballs, and powdery molds. How fungi obtain nutrients either through parasitic or mutualistic relationships or decomposing dead bodies is examined before looking at their economic, ecological, and health impacts. The major divisions of fungi are then examined and some of the unique adaptations found in kingdom Fungi discussed.

Shaw Mycological Herbarium Dedication Ceremony
Shaw Mycological Herbarium Dedication Ceremony
The late, world-renowned mycologist Charles Gardner Shaw served Washington State University for 36 years in the Department of Plant Pathology. On Sept. 10, the university's mycological herbarium will be dedicated in his name. The Charles Gardner Shaw Mycological Herbarium will be dedicated at 10 am, Saturday, Sept. 10, in the first floor foyer of Vogel Plant Biosciences Building on Stadium Way. The event is free and open to the public. "Dr. Shaw's 36-year career of service at WSU included outstanding accomplishments in research, teaching, administration and international service," said Dan Bernardo, dean of the WSU College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. "From 1961 through 1972, he served as chair of the Department of Plant Pathology, leading the department in an era of growth and prestige that established it as one of the premiere plant pathology units in the nation." One of the major accomplishments of Shaw's career was bringing together and substantially adding to the fungal collections in and around WSU. He organized this material into an internally recognized, world-class mycological herbarium, according to those who proposed naming the facility in his honor. At WSU, Shaw taught and researched in the area of forest pathology and mycology, the biological study of fungi. His efforts resulted in more than 130 publications, two of which contain current concepts that for the basis for classification of all the downy mildews on Gramineae. He advised <b>...</b>

Mycology Volume 1: Lower Fungi, Clip Number 3
This clip was taken from Mycology Volume 1: Lower Fungi DVD. For more information, please visit: www.apsnet.org With about 1.5 million species estimated to exist worldwide, members of the kingdom Fungi represent one of the largest biodiversity resources of our planet, fulfilling crucial ecological roles especially in terrestrial ecosystems. Fungi are also one of the most diverse groups in terms of taxonomy, morphology and life cycles. These aspects are covered in Mycology Volume 1 and Mycology Volume 2, the long-awaited second edition of the original videodiscs published in 1990-1994.

Fertilization timing and pollen tube growth in Nymphaea (Nymphaeales). Co-authors: Mackenzie L. Taylor, and Joseph H. Williams. The progamic phase is the life history stage in seed plants that begins with pollination and ends with fertilization. Investigating progamic phase development in early-divergent angiosperm lineages may provide insights into the flexibility of developmental traits that coordinate the unique fertilization process in angiosperms. Nymphaeales (water lilies) is well suited among early-divergent lineages for investigations of progamic phase biology because it exhibits pollination strategies and flower morphologies that are more diverse than most other basal lineages. The objective of this study was to characterize progamic phase development in Nymphaea odorata, the American white water lily. Hand-pollinations and sequential collections of flowers (5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and every half an hour thereafter until 6 hours after pollination) were used to determine the timing of developmental events between pollination and fertilization. Pollen tube pathway, morphology, and growth, as well as timing of pollen germination and female gametophyte receptivity were documented using light and fluorescence microscopy. Pollen germination occurred within five minutes of pollen reception on a restricted area of the stigmatic surface. Pollen tubes entered the ovary by first growing exclusively through the narrow region where post-genital fusion of the carpel had occurred <b>...</b>

An Exploration of Chicken Litter-Induced Trace Metal Phytotoxicity in Plants. Co-authors: SR Tuberty, Y Sakamachi and MJ Colgan. The overall goal of this study is to assess the adverse impacts of phytotoxic trace metals from long-term chicken litter application to corn and fescue. Confined animal feeding operations are having a potentially huge economic and environmental impact on local communities. The focus of this study will be the phytotoxic effects of these metals (copper, zinc, arsenic, manganese). This project will address the inherent complexities of balancing management of sustainable rural economic growth and conservation of important natural resources such as fertile bottomland farming soils for generations to come. I propose two main hypotheses: H1: crop plants exposed to supplemented levels (representative of 40-80 years into the future) of metals will exhibit acute and chronic phytotoxic biomarkers of exposure, H2: with continued application of trace metals to farm soils, productivity will be unsustainable in the near future. I will determine the current concentrations of trace metals in the soils of fields amended long-term (20-30 years) with chicken litter. Next I will prepare soil on a local farmland which will be planted with corn and fescue. Observations will be made and recorded throughout the life cycle of the plants. Both acute and chronic assessment techniques will be utilized. Briefly, these measurements include the following endpoints: percent <b>...</b>

Evolving towards semelparity in Andean Puya (Bromeliaceae): testing differential investment in reproductive displays. Co-authors Cody Williams and Kenneth J. Sytsma. Semelparity (syn. monocarpy), the life-history trait of senescing after a single, massive sexual reproduction episode, is relatively rare in long-lived angiosperms. Puya (Bromeliaceae), a large genus of long-lived, terrestrial Andean rosette plants, were found during fieldwork through the Andes to exhibit variability in life history type. The majority of species are iteroparous, producing vegetative daughter rosettes before producing terminal inflorescences. Several species, primarily from high elevations in the wetter northern Andes, often reproduce and die with no vegetative reproduction, and are a placed in a new category here called semi-semelparous. Only Puya raimondii, the largest bromeliad on earth from the high-elevation, drier central Andes, is always semelparous. Semelparous taxa in other giant rosette genera (Yucca, Agave, Lobelia ) have been shown to invest more energy in reproductive displays than close iteroparous relatives. To see if the semi-semelparous taxa are evolving towards true semelparity, photographs of the majority of Puya species in the field were converted into pixels and the ratio between the inflorescence and vegetative rosette area was calculated and compared between iteroparous, semi-semelparous and semelparous taxa. Permutations of these data (eg, exponentially scaled) were <b>...</b>

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Costus (Costaceae). Co-authors: Irene T. Liao, Yizhuo Wang and Chelsea Specht The genus Costus (Costaceae) is a large group of perennial herbs distributed in the moist rainforests of both the New and Old World tropics with its center of species diversity in the neotropics. A genus-wide molecular phylogeny for Costus, including 84 ingroup taxa and two outgroup taxa (Monocostus uniflorus and Chamaecostus lanceolatus), was reconstructed to explore evolutionary trends in floral morphology, pollination biology, and biogeography of the group. The phylogenetic analysis is based on two nuclear ribosomal sequences — the internal and external transcribed spacers (ITS and ETS) —and the 23rd intron of the low copy nuclear gene RNA polymerase II (RPB2) from a taxonomically and geographically diverse sample. Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of the combined data support a monophyletic Costus and corroborate recent hypotheses as to membership and sequence of origin of the major groups within the genus. Neotropical Costus represents a rapidly evolving, monophyletic group, which remains inadequately resolved, while African Costus form a paraphyletic group comprised of several early-diverging lineages each comprised of a few closely related species.
