Abstract:

The genus Septoria includes important plant pathogens with worldwide distribution, commonly associated with leaf spots and stem cankers of a broad range of plant hosts. In this study, eight isolates of Septoria were recovered from leaves with leaf spot on four herbaceous and woody plants from Gilan, Ardebil, East and West Azerbaijan provinces in north and northwest of Iran. The isolates were studied by applying a polyphasic approach including morphological and cultural data, and multi-gene phylogeny (LSU, ITS, ACT, TEF1-α, CAL, TUB, and RPB2). They were then identified as Septoria convolvuli on Sonchus sp., S. protearum on Solanum pseudocapsicum, S. polygonorum on Punica granatum,and S. urticae on Urtica dioica. Septoria protearum represents a new record for the mycobiota of Iran. Moreover, this research reports Sonchus sp. as new host of S. convolvuli, Punica granatum as new host of S. polygonorum, and Solanum pseudocapsicum as new host of S. protearum worldwide. Additionally, a comprehensive literature-based checklist for 102 septoria-like species known to occur on different plant species in Iran was also provided. The complete annotated list covers 78 Septoria species, eight Stagonospora, seven Sphaerulina, four Zymoseptoria, two Phloeospora, one Caryophylloseptoria, one Parastagonospora, and one Stromatoseptoria.

Molecular phylogeny and morphology of four Ramularia species from Iran along with a checklist of ramularia-like taxa

The genus Ramularia includes important plant pathogens with worldwide distribution, commonly associated with leaf spot diseases on a broad range of plant hosts. Although these fungi are common in Iran, most of the species found to date have been identified on the basis of morphological characteristics, and DNA data are available for limited number of them. During our investigation of fungi asso...

Sizing up Septoria

UNLABELLED Septoria represents a genus of plant pathogenic fungi with a wide geographic distribution, commonly associated with leaf spots and stem cankers of a broad range of plant hosts. A major aim of this study was to resolve the phylogenetic generic limits of Septoria, Stagonospora, and other related genera such as Sphaerulina, Phaeosphaeria and Phaeoseptoria using sequences of the the part...

Septoria-like pathogens causing leaf and fruit spot of pistachio

Several species of Septoria are associated with leaf and fruit spot of pistachio (Pistacia vera), though their identity has always been confused, making identification problematic. The present study elucidates the taxonomy of the Septoria spp. associated with pistachio, and distinguishes four species associated with this host genus. Partial nucleotide sequence data for five gene loci, ITS, LSU,...

Morphocultural variants of Septoria tritici isolates.

This is a morphocultural study under in vitro and in vivo condition on some Septoria tritici variants mainly originated from isolates collected from cultivars bearing Bobwhite 'S' and Kavkaz germplasm. The objective was to show the variability in cultural and morphobiometrical characters of atypical isolates (variants) derived from these germplasms and discuss the relationship with the pathogen...
