Longitudinal Air Permeability in Fifteen Wood Species

Fifteen new species of Penicillium

We introduce 15 new species of Penicillium isolated from a diverse range of locations, including Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Tanzania, USA and the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, from a variety of habitats, including leaf surfaces in tropical rain forests, soil eaten by chimpanzees, infrabuccal pockets of carpenter ants, intestinal contents of caterpillars and soil. The new spec...

Wood Species Recognition System

The proposed system identifies the species of the wood using the textural features present in its barks. Each species of a wood has its own unique patterns in its bark, which enabled the proposed system to identify it accurately. Automatic wood recognition system has not yet been well established mainly due to lack of research in this area and the difficulty in obtaining the wood database. In o...

Global Metabolic Responses to Salt Stress in Fifteen Species

Cells constantly adapt to unpredictably changing extracellular solute concentrations. A cornerstone of the cellular osmotic stress response is the metabolic supply of energy and building blocks to mount appropriate defenses. Yet, the extent to which osmotic stress impinges on the metabolic network remains largely unknown. Moreover, it is mostly unclear which, if any, of the metabolic responses ...

New species of wood inhabiting discomycetes of Helotilaes for Iran

Four species of wood inhabiting cup fungi belonging to order Helotiales are reported for the first time in Iran. Species are described and illustrated with photographs and drawings. Three genera Arachnopeziza, Hymenoscyphus and Lachnum are new records for Iran.
