Redefining genera of cereal pathogens: Oculimacula, Rhynchosporium and Spermospora

Redefining Ceratocystis and allied genera

The genus Ceratocystis was established in 1890 and accommodates many important fungi. These include serious plant pathogens, significant insect symbionts and agents of timber degradation that result in substantial economic losses. Virtually since its type was described from sweet potatoes, the taxonomy of Ceratocystis has been confused and vigorously debated. In recent years, particulary during...

Redefining Microascus, Scopulariopsis and allied genera

The genera Microascus and Scopulariopsis comprise species commonly isolated from soil, decaying plant material and indoor environments. A few species are also recognised as opportunistic pathogens of insects and animals, including humans. In the past, the taxonomy of these fungi has been based on morphology only. With the aim to clarify the taxonomy and phylogeny of these fungi, we studied a la...

functional study of p0 proteins of two cereal yellow dwarf viruses (cydv-rpv and cydv-rps) and identification of their cellular partner

نقش سرکوبگری پروتئین p0 در دو پولروویروس کوتولگی زردی غلات cydv-rpv) و (cydv-rps، متفاوت در شدت بیماریزایی، مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که هر دو پروتئین p0 p0cy-rpv) و (p0cy-rps قادر به سرکوب خاموشی آر ان ای ایجاد شده توسط ترادف های تراژن سنس و تکرار معکوس در n. benthamiana هستند. نشان داده شد که هر دو پروتئین p0 می توانند تخریب پروتئین argonaute-1 را تسهیل کنند. علاوه بر این، تمایل م...

Two new species of Rhynchosporium.

Rhynchosporium consists of two species, R. secalis and R. orthosporum. Both are pathogens of grasses with R. secalis infecting a variety of Poaceae hosts and R. orthosporum infecting Dactylis glomerata. Phylogenetic analyses of multilocus DNA sequence data on R. secalis isolates originating from cultivated barley, rye, triticale and other grasses, including Agropyron spp., Bromus diandrus and H...
