The Microbotryaceae form a family from the order of the Microbotryales. The so-called anther brandies on carnation plants belong to this family .

Macroscopic features

The Microbotryaceae parasitize on a wide variety of plant species. They are macroscopically recognizable by the transformation of the stamens , stamens or ovaries of their hosts into mostly dark-colored spore beds ( Sori ), which make the flower appear dirty, powdered. The Sori also rarely develop on whole flowers or in leaf tissue.

Microscopic features

The Microbotryaceae have longitudinally septate basidia . Their hyphae grow intercellularly in the host, but have no suction threads. The teliospores are spherical, egg-shaped or angular, hyaline to brown or pale purple and smooth to warty. The teliospores germinate and form a three- to four-cell promycelium (basidium) from which sedentary basidiospores are formed, which are narrow, hyaline and unseptated. In contrast to its sister family Ustilentylomataceae , their hyphae only have pore-free septa even when they are mature .

Ecology and diffusion

The Microbotryaceae occur worldwide in temperate zones. Even if the best-known species parasitize on the carnation family , they occur particularly on the knotweed family and on a total of nine plant families. Other species are parasitic on representatives of the daisy family , teasel family , Gentian family , mint , lentibulariaceae and evening primrose plants . Because they are found on the anthers, they are considered a sexually transmitted disease .

Taxonomy

The Microbotryaceae have long been associated with the smut fungi because their life cycle is similar. However, they are more closely related to rust fungi .
