A hypha (from Ancient Greek ὑφή (huphḗ) 'web'; pl.: hyphae) is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium. [1]
The life stage at which a fungus lives, grows, and develops, gathering nutrients and energy.. The fungus uses this stage to proliferate itself through asexually created mitotic spores.
This fossil, classified in the form genus Palaeancistrus, has hyphae that compare with extant saprophytic basidiomycetes. [5] The oldest known clamp connections exist in fossilized hyphae growing in the fossil fern Botryopteris antiqua, which predate Palaeancistrus by about 25 Ma. [6]
A mycorrhizal network (also known as a common mycorrhizal network or CMN) is an underground network found in forests and other plant communities, created by the hyphae of mycorrhizal fungi joining with plant roots. This network connects individual plants together.
Carbon acquisition also goes toward the production of fungal exudates. Extramatrical hyphae excrete a range of compounds into the soil matrix, accounting for as much as 40% of total carbon usage. [23] These exudates are released primarily at the growing front, and are used in functions such as mineralization and homeostasis. [24]
Hartig net. The Hartig net is the network of inward-growing hyphae, that extends into the plant host root, penetrating between plant cells in the root epidermis and cortex in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis.
A/a) migrate into numerous ascogenous hyphae, which then begin to grow out of the ascogonium. Each of these ascogenous hyphae bends to form a hook (or crozier) at its tip and the A and a pair of haploid nuclei within the crozier divide synchronously. Next, septa form to divide the crozier into three cells.
Hyphae that lack septa and are multi-nucleate; seen in Zygomycota and Oomycota. From Gr. kytos, cell. Distinct from a synctium, a multinucleate structure resulting from fusion of protoplasts. [69] colony A massed group of hyphae and spores of a single species, especially if all are grown from a single spore (e.g. in a lab). [70] columella. pl ...
