So, this definition confuses me a little bit....a haustorium does in face penetrate the host cell, keeping it alive by sucking nutrients from the cell...the HMC, or Haustarium Mother Cell, stays outside the cells and pushes the haustorium in.....

The Haustorial mother cell is what the haustoria differentiates from.


I don't think this should be called a botony stub. Fungi, or if I get it, phytopathology stub. (a Mentally Efficient Loonies And Nice Insane Elephants creation 14:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC))
