- 1what is the life strategy of biotrophic pathogens (obligate parasites) ?They require actively metabolising plant tissues, withdraw nutrients from host cells and leave host alive but with potentially serious injuries,
- 2what is the life strategy of hemibiotrophic pathogens (non-obligate parasites)They first act like biotrophic pathogens but when host tissues are exhausted and killed the pathogens utilize cell death.
- 3What is the life strategy of necrotrophic pathogens?They use nutrients of dead plant tissues killed by enzymes and toxins produced by pathogen itself.
- 4True or false; In real life the three groups of biotrophic, hemibiotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens are often overlapping and one pathogen may have biotrophic, hemibiotrophic and necrotrophic traits depending on the phase of its life cycle.true
