A taxonomic study on Stemphylium species associated with black (sooty) head mold of wheat and barley in Iran
نویسنده
چکیده
Stemphylium as a monophyletic genus of filamentous ascomycetes, comprises both of saprophytic and plant pathogenic species with worldwide distribution. In an investigation of fungi associated with the black (sooty) head mold of wheat and barley in different regions of Golestan, Alborz and Qazvin provinces, thirty–two isolates with typical characteristics of the genus Stemphylium were recovered. All isolates were subjected to morphological assessments and DNA sequence analyses (ITS–rDNA and a part of GPDH gene). As a result, four species viz. Stemphylium alfalfae, S. eturmiunum, S. lycii and S. vesicarium were identified. The association of all identified species with the black head mold symptoms of wheat and barley is reported for the first time and S. eturmiunum and S. lycii are new records to the mycobiota of Iran.

متن کاملA SURVEY ON CITRUS SOOTY MOLD FUNGI IN GILAN PROVINCE, IRAN
This study was carried out to determine species composition of sooty mold fungi on Citrus species in Gilan Province, which is located in the North of Iran. This region isolated by Alborz mountain range from other parts of the country with maximum rainfall about 2000 mm/year. A total of seven species belonging to various genera of mitosporic fungi viz., Conidiocarpous penzigii, C. cf. caucasicus...
متن کاملFungi associated with apple and pear sooty blotch and flyspeck diseases in Guilan province, Iran
Sooty blotch and flyspeck occur on fruit surfaces and result in economic losses due to less attractive appearance. Sooty blotch fungi form dark mycelial mats whereas flyspeck fungal agents are well characterized with black, sclerotium-like bodies on fruit surface. Whilst more than 60 species have been reported in association with these two fungal diseases, thus far they have not been studied in...
متن کاملA further contribution to the knowledge of sooty mould fungi from Iran
Sooty mold fungi are often associated with honeydew which insects secrete while feeding on the plant. A great variety of these fungi occur in the North of Iran, especially on Citrus ssp which is one of the most widely cultivated fruit trees in this region. During last 10 years, several collections of these fungi examined and 15 species have been recorded. In this paper seven previously unreport...
