Septobasidium Meredithiae
''Septobasidium'' is a fungal genus within the family Septobasidiaceae. Approximately 175 described species are associated with this genus. 227 records are listed by Species Fungorum. ''Septobasidium'' species are known to be entomopathogens. Description ''Septobasidium'' spp. are characterized by their presence on the underside of branches and leaves of deciduous trees, shrubs and in a symbiotic association with scale insects (Coccoidea), such as the Latania Scale Insect, ''Hemiberlesia lataniae''. Also the European pear scale (''Epidiaspis leperii'' (Signoret 1869)) and ''Septobasidium marianii'' which created a mutualistic symbiosis formed by the fungus and the scale insects on fruit trees in Slovenia. Fruiting bodies form a crust ( resupinate) and range in color and size, from small patches (1 mm in diameter) to 2 meters wide. Species of this genus are often distinguished based on the thickness of the fruiting body. Some species form elaborate chambers and tunnels ...

Narcisse Théophile Patouillard
Narcisse Théophile Patouillard (2 July 1854 – 30 March 1926) was a French pharmacist and mycologist. He was born in Macornay, a town in the department of Jura (department), Jura. He studied in Besançon, then furthered his education at the École Supérieure de Pharmacie in Paris, where in 1884 he earned a diploma with a doctoral thesis involving the structure and classification of Hymenomycetes called "''Des Hyménomycètes au point de vue de leur structure et de leur classification''". With Jacques Emile Doassans he issued the exsiccata ''Champignons figurés et désechés'' (1880-1883). Patouillard was a practicing pharmacist for more than forty years, first in Poligny, Jura, Poligny (1881–84), and later in Fontenay-sous-Bois (1884–85), Paris (1886–1898) and Neuilly-sur-Seine (beginning in 1898). From 1893 to 1900, he was ''préparateur'' to the chair of cryptogam, cryptogamy at the École Supérieure de Pharmacie in Paris. In 1884 he was one of the founders of the ...

Resupinate
Resupination is derived from the Latin word ''resupinus'', meaning "bent back with the face upward" or "on the back". "Resupination" is the noun form of the adjective "resupine" which means "being upside-down, supine or facing upward". The word "resupinate" is generally only used in a botanical context – in everyday language, "supine" has a similar meaning. In botany, resupination refers to the "twisting" of flowers or leaves through about 180° as they open. Resupinate leaves have the petiole or "stalk" twisted - resupinate flowers twist as they open. Botanical examples Alstroemeriaceae Plants in the genus ''Alstroemeria'' have more or less resupinate leaves. Orchidaceae The flower of a typical plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae has three sepals and three petals. One petal, called the labellum, "lip" or "tongue", is typically quite different from the other two. It usually functions to attract an insect pollinator. As an orchid flower bud develops, the attachment of ...

Pucciniomycotina
Pucciniomycotina is a subdivision of fungus within the division Basidiomycota. The subdivision contains 10 classes, 21 orders, and 38 families. Over 8400 species of Pucciniomycotina have been described - more than 8% of all described fungi. The subdivision is considered a sister group to Ustilaginomycotina and Agaricomycotina, which may share the basal lineage of Basidiomycota, although this is uncertain due to low support for placement between the three groups. The group was known as Urediniomycetes until 2006, when it was elevated from a class to a subdivision and named after the largest order in the group, Pucciniales. Morphology There is a high morphological diversity in the Pucciniomycontina. The sporulating forms range from macrobasidiocarp to single-celled yeasts. The presence of simple septal pores, and disc-like spindle pole bodies unites Pucciniomycotina and distinguishes it from the sister groups. The predominance of mannose in the cell walls is also a uniting f ...

Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organisation that focuses on making scientific data on biodiversity available via the Internet using web services. The data are provided by many institutions from around the world; GBIF's information architecture makes these data accessible and searchable through a single portal. Data available through the GBIF portal are primarily distribution data on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes for the world, and scientific names data. The mission of the GBIF is to facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide to underpin sustainable development. Priorities, with an emphasis on promoting participation and working through partners, include mobilising biodiversity data, developing protocols and standards to ensure scientific integrity and interoperability, building an informatics architecture to allow the interlinking of diverse data types from disparate sources, promoting capacity building and cat ...

Velvet Blight
Velvet blight is a disease that affects the stems, branches, leaves, fruits or trunks of plants and trees. This disease is primarily caused by three fungal species from the genus ''Septobasidium'': '' S. bogoriense'', '' S. pilosum'' and '' S. theae''. It is known to affect mainly tea plants (genus ''Thea''). The most studied of these species is ''S. bogoriense'', most notably due to the work of Ernst Albert Gäumann. ''S. bogoriense'' is named after the Herbarium Bogoriense (Bogor Bogor City (), or Bogor (, ), is a landlocked city in the West Java, Indonesia. Located around south of the national capital of Jakarta, Bogor is the 6th largest city in the Jakarta metropolitan area and the 14th overall nationwide.
