Abstract:

Sixteen isolates of Colletotrichum were collected from leaves with anthracnose symptoms or leaf spots of twelve wild, cultivated and ornamental plant species from the Guilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan provinces in Northern Iran. Five different species, including C. aenigma, C. gigasporum, C. godetiae, C. karstii, and C. musae were identified based on the DNA sequence data (TUB2, GS, GAPDH). Four of these species, termed as C. aenigma, C. gigasporum, C. godetiae and C. karstii represent new records for the mycobiota of Iran. Moreover, this study reports many plants as new hosts of Colletotrichum species. Comprehensive morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided for the species.

Two new records of Lopadostoma for mycobiota of Iran

Xylariaceous fungi are typically saprobes, but are also commonly isolated as endophytes and some species are pathogens. Two species of Lopadostoma (Xylariaceae, Xylariales) are reported for the first time from Iran. L. dryophilum was found from dead branches of Quercus sp. in East Azerbaiejan and L. fagi from dead branches of Fagus sp. in Ardabil province. Based on morphology and sequence data ...

New records from Botryosphaeriaceae (Ascomycota) for mycobiota of Iran

A large collection of Botryosphaeriaceae isolates obtained from fruit and forest trees with fruit rot, canker and dieback disease symptoms in northern provinces of the country were examined in this study. Based on morphology and sequence data (ITS and EF1-α), two species, Diplodia mutila and Spencermartinsia viticola are illustrated and described as new records for Iran mycobiota. Furthermore, ...

Fomitiporia mediterranea, a new basidiomycete species for mycobiota of Iran

During last decade, the decline of elm trees was observed in Fars province (Iran) due to a wood decaying agent in heartwood of the trees. Unknown basidiomycete isolates were frequently isolated from such trees. The objective of the present study was to identify the basidiomycete isolates by molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA. For this purpose, i...

Three new species of Pseudocercospora for mycobiota of Iran

Several specimens belonging to the genus Pseudocercospora were collected from different localities of Mazandaran province (N Iran) during the 2011–12. All specimens were microscopically studied and identified. As the result Pseudocercospora abeliae (on Abelia grandiflora), P.rhamnaceicola (on Paliurus spina-christi) and P.sordida (on Campsis grandiflora) are newly recorded for Iran. Furthermore...

Harzia acremonioides, new species for mycobiota of Iran

During the investigation of fungi associated with black (sooty) head mold of wheat and barley in different regions of Golestan, Alborz and Qazvin provinces (Iran) in growing seasons of 2014–15, several isolates with typical characteristics of the genus Harzia Costantin were collected. Based on the morphological characteristics, all isolates were identified as H. acremonioides (Harz) Costantin.
