A type of sugarcane mosaic virus infecting maize,surghum and johnsongrass in iran

High genetic variability and evidence for plant-to-plant transfer of Banana mild mosaic virus.

A total of 154 partial nucleotide sequences within the Banana mild mosaic virus (BanMMV) ORF1, which encodes the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), was obtained from 68 distinct infected banana accessions originating from various locations worldwide. The 310 nt sequences displayed a high level of variability with a mean pairwise nucleotide sequence divergence level of 20.4 %. This situa...

New epilithic Naviculales (Bacillariophyta) from Ivory Coast

Epilithic diatom of the Ivory Coast is very poorly understood, aims of this study are: to document the epilithic diatom diversity from Naviculales. In this study, the epilithic diatoms in the samples collected from ten stations on the Me River between February and July 2012. A total of 56 Naviculales new taxa in 8 families were recorded. The taxonomic composition observed was dominated by Navic...
