Introduction of some endophytic fungi of common yew (Taxus baccata) in Iran
Authors
Abstract:
In the present study, five species of Cladosporium including C. perangustum, C. basi-inflatum, C. cladosporioides, C. herbarum and C. subtilissimum,and three species assigned to other fungal genera including Truncatella angustata, Alternaria atra and Nigrospora oryzea are reported as endophytic fungi of common yew (Taxus baccata L.), native to Iran. Out of these, C. perangustum, C. basi-inflatum and C. subtilissimum are new taxa to the Iranian mycobiota. Common yew is a new host for all identified species, except N. oryzae in the world.

Endophytic fungi are beneficial fungi to their host plants and help them to endure biotic and abiotic stresses with different methods. In order to identify some endophytic fungi of sour cherry trees, healthy plant samples including twigs and leaves were collected from several provinces of Iran. A total number of 176 isolates were obtained and studied taxonomically. Based on morphological featur...

Taxus baccata L. is a native and ancient tree species growing the Hyrcanian forests that have been considered in recent years because of being in the red lists of threated species. The aim of this research was to provide quantitative characteristics of forest stand structure using a set of indicators in the natural habitat of this species. Three one-hectare sampling area were selected to ...

The Himalayan yew (Taxus baccata L.) is widely but sparsely distributed along the cool temperate belt between 2600 and 3300 m asl of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR), Garhwal Himalaya. Traditionally, the bark of this plant is used for preparing beverages locally called Namkin Chay, medicines and its wood as a timber in various regions of the Himalaya. However, due to its excessive collec...
full textMolecular and Morphological Characterization of a Taxol-Producing Endophytic Fungus, Gliocladium sp., from Taxus baccata
The endophytic fungal populations of different tissues of Taxus baccata grown at high altitudes in West Bengal, India were explored. These isolated fungal populations represented different genera, which were screened for taxol production using immunoassay technique. The culture AAT-TS-4(1) that produced taxol was identified as Gliocladium sp. based on its cultural, morphological characteristics...
