Abstract:

In this study, ITS–rDNA region was used to identify some anamorphic powdery mildews in Guilan province. According to the results, Erysiphe species on Vicia faba and Sesbania punicea showed 100% similarity to each other, however, without ITS sequence of holotype of E. sesbaniae it is impossible to make conclusion whether Vicia faba powdery mildew fungus actually belongs to E. sesbaniae or E. trifoliorum complex. ITS sequence from isolate of Lagerstroemia indica powdery mildew showed 100% similarity to E. australiana. Podosphaera on Vigna fells into phylogenetic group containing P. xanthii on cucurbitaceous hosts. ITS sequence of chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) powdery mildew fungus showed 100% similarity to P. xanthii on Xanthium strumarium. Molecular characteristics and morphological examination of conidia and conidia germination clearly showed that Dahlia powdery mildew in Guilan province is conspecific with G. spadiceus. Anamorph morphology and ITS sequence of Podosphaera on Epilobium and Erysiphe on Platanus orientalis showed that these species belong to P. epilobii and Erysiphe platani respectively.

Origin and evolution of the powdery mildews (Ascomycota, Erysiphales)

Molecular phylogeny suggests a close relationship of Asteraceae to the early evolution of Golovinomyces. The family Asteraceae, with a geographic origin in South America, expanded into the Northern Hemisphere, where it may have been infected by an ancestor of Golovinomyces, thus starting a close hosteparasite relationship. Using this event as a calibration point, we designed molecular clocks fo...

New records for anamorphic fungi of Guilan province, Iran

This study was carried out to continue identifying unknown and less known anamorphic fungi from Guilan province. Plant materials with fungal signs and symptoms were collected and examined to identify causal agents. Four species viz. Alternariacalendulae (on Calendulaofficinalis), Pseudocercosporasordida(on Campsis sp.), Thedgonia ligustrina (on Ligustrum vulgare) and Zygosporium oscheoides (on ...

Molecular Identification of Macroscopic And Microscopic Cysts of Sarcocystis in Sheep in North Khorasan Province, Iran

Sarcocystis is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite which can infect humans and animals. Sheep are intermediate hosts of four Sarcocystis species: Sarcocystis tenella, Sarcocystis gigantea, Sarcocystis arieticanis, and Sarcocystis medusiformision. The purpose of the study was to determine the molecular identification of the macroscopic and microscopic cysts of Sarcocystis in sh...

Molecular identification of ovine Babesia spp. in north of Iran

Background: Babesia is blood-tissue parasite, which are transmitted by hard ticks from Ixodidae family. The parasite is the cause of Babesiosis among ruminants. Babesia is as one of main fatal factors among livestock in endemic regions such as Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate Babesia spp infection using microscopic and molecular methods among small ruminants in Mazandaran and Gole...

Outcome of intestinal metaplasia in gastric biopsy of patients with dyspepsia in Guilan Province, North Iran.

BACKGROUND It is generally accepted that gastric carcinomas are preceded by a sequential multistage process that includes chronic gastritis, gastric atrophy, usually with intestinal metaplasia (IM), and dysplasia. This series of changes in gastric carcinogenesis is often initiated by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection. The aim of the present study was determination of gastric histopatholo...
