Q. Identify the fungus, which produces chlamydospores from dikaryotic mycelium.
A) $Sphacelotheca\ sorghii$
B) $Rhizops\ stolonifer$
C) $Pyricularia\ oryzae$
D) $Colletotrichum\ falcatum$
Explanation
Chlamydospore is a specially modified thick-walled resting cell. The sporidia of $Sphacelotheca$ fuse in pair and form dikaryotic mycelium. Individual cells of the hypae round off, nuclei of the cell fuse and the cell develop a thick wall around them like chlamydospore.
