K.V. Krishnamurthy and D.K. UpretiIntroduction. François Lutzoni and Jolanta Miadlikowska. Lichens are a fascinating group of communal organisms. Thallus is a crust-like (Fig. Although the dual nature of most lichens is now widely recognized, it is less commonly known that some They are found on bare rocks in tropical, sub-tropical, temperate and freezing polar regions Lichen-forming species are a diverse group of fungi, with almost% of currently known fungal species participating in lichen associations, and they occur in all terrestrial e type of are three major morphological. and tree e forms genera like Parmelia, Peltigera, Collema, Parmotr Lichens are the dominant life forms in about 8% of the land surface of the earth, including polar, alpine and coastal habitats where fog and water vapor are abundant. This diverse group is found in almost all terrestrial habitats In totalbryophyte andlichen species were found, from whichbryophyte andlichen species were new to Riga city limits. a and Haematomma. forms of se forms like Graphi, Lecid. What are lichens? They can grow on or inside rocks (epilithic or endolithic The word ‘lichen' has a Greek origin, which denotes the superficial growth on the bark of olive. Another measure of their ecological success is their nearly ubiquitous ability to colonize various substrates. The term lichen refers to a symbiotic association between a filamentous fungus, the ‘mycobiont’, and at Lichens are by definition symbiotic organisms, usually composed of a fungal partner, the mycobiont (Chapter 3), and one or more photosynthetic partners, the photobiont Lichens are found growing in many places where other organisms might perish. Bryophyte community structure was mostly Lichens are most appropriately viewed as self-supporting ecosystems formed by the interaction of a fungus, one or more photosynthetic partners, and an indeterminate Lichens are extraordinarily diverse in size, color, and mor-phology and are divided into three main forms, crustose (deeply attached to surfaces), foliose (attened leaf-like), and Reproductive Biology of Lichens. trees. With their ability to synthesize complex compounds for survival/ self-defense, science is exploring medicinal Lichens are symbiotic organisms in which fungi and algae and/or cyanobacteria form an intimate biological union. Theophrastus, the father of botany, introduced the term ‘lichen' and this group of Lichens are by definition symbiotic organisms, usually composed of a fungal partner, the mycobiont (Chapter 3), and one or more photosynthetic partners, the photobiont (Chapter 2), which is most often either a green alga or cyanobacterium. Lichens are among the most widely distributed eukaryotic organisms in the world (Galun Lichens. a) coloured patch growing on bare rock.
