Introduction of some endophytic fungi of sour cherry trees (Prunus cerasus) in Iran
Authors
Abstract:
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 features and ITS regions sequence data, 10 different fungal species, namely, Aureobasidium namibiae, A. pullulans, Alternaria multiformis, A. rosae, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Cladosporium tenuissimum, Coniolariella limonispora, Didymosphaeria variabile, Epicoccum nigrum, Lecanicillium muscarium,and Neoscytalidium dimidiatum were identified as endophytic fungi of sour cherry trees in Iran. Among these species, Aureobasidium namibiae is new for the mycobiota of Iran. All identified species except A. pullulans, are reported here for the first time as endophytic fungi of sour cherry trees in the world.

New reports of endophytic fungi associated with cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) trees in Iran
Endophytic fungi constitute a remarkable multifarious group of microorganisms live within plants tissues without causing any obvious negative effect. Endophytic fungi have been found in every plant species examined to date. During an investigation on endophytic fungi, 123 fungal isolates were obtained from healthy twigs and leaves of cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (P. cerasus) trees in I...
full textGenetic and molecular characterization of three novel S-haplotypes in sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.)
Tetraploid sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) exhibits gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) whereby the specificity of self-pollen rejection is controlled by alleles of the stylar and pollen specificity genes, S-RNase and SFB (S haplotype-specific F-box protein gene), respectively. As sour cherry selections can be either self-compatible (SC) or self-incompatible (SI), polyploidy per se does not...

Flow of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L. cv. Montmorency) gum solutions through a glass capillary was Newtonian for pressure gradients from 0 to 1.8 megapascals per meter, and hydraulic conductance was inversely proportional to solution viscosity in this range. However, flow became plastic at pressure gradients above 1.8 megapascals per meter, resulting in a decrease in solution viscosity. The ma...

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of cultivar and industrial processing on total polyphenols, anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids and antioxidant activity in concentrated sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L., cvs. Marasca and Oblačinska) juices. Samples were collected during four processing steps: from fresh fruit prior to processing, then from pressed, filtered and concentr...

Immature cotyledons of open-pollinated fruits from three sour cherry cultivars (Prunus cerasus L.) were excised and cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with various combinations of auxin and cytokinin to induce somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryogenesis occurred principally when using the combinations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid plus kinetin. Using a-naphthaleneacetic ac...
