[ 1 ] - THREE NEW FUSARIUM TAXA ISOLATED FROM GRAMINEOUS PLANTS IN IRAN
In a course of survey during growing seasons of 2002-04, various fields and pastures in 23 Iranian provinces were sampled. Some 1200 isolates of Fusarium from root, crown, stem and spike of various plants belonging to the family Poaceae were recovered using Nash-Snyder selective medium and purified on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Based on morphological characteristics, 32 Fusarium species were i...
[ 2 ] - IDENTIFICATION OF FUNGICOLOUS FUNGI OF IRAN. II. TELEOMORPHS BELONGING TO THE GENUS
Three Hypomyces and one Cladobotryum species are studied and reported as new records and also new anamorph/teleomorph connections of fungicolous fungi for Iran. Anamorphs of two species H. aurantius and H. rosellus (Cladobotryum varium and C. dendroides, respectively) have already been reported from Iran. The anamorph/teleomorph association of H. polyporinus/C. clavisporum was also found and wa...
[ 3 ] - FUNGI ISOLATED FROM AGARICUS BISPORUS IN TEHRAN PROVINCE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO VERTICILLIUM FUNGICOLA
During 2003-04 major mushroom production units of Tehran province were sampled and 103 fungicolous isolates were obtained (Table 1). Verticillium fungicola (with 50 isolates), Trichoderma harzianum (with 24 isolates), Cladobotryum dendroides (with 16 isolates) and Acremonium crotocinigenum (with 11 isolates) were the most frequent fungi associated with the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus...
[ 4 ] - THREE NEW SPECIES OF TRICHODERMA FOR THE MYCOFLORA OF IRAN
Some 350 Trichoderma isolates were obtained from soil samples collected from different parts of Iran. Cultures were purified on 2% water agar by hyphal tip method prior to identification. Obtained isolates were identified using morphological features including colony characters (pigmentation and growth rate on PDA) and microscopic characters such as shape of conidiophores, shape and size of con...
[ 5 ] - HYPHOMYCETOUS FUNGAL COMMUNITY OF BARLEY PHYLLOPLANE IN EAST AZARBAIJAN PROVINCE WITH EMPHASIS ON NEW TAXA FOR IRANIAN FUNGAL FLORA
During 2002-03 forty-four different barley growing regions in East Azarbaijanprovince of Iran were sampled for epiphytic fungi. Isolation of fungi was achieved using standard methods. As the result 374 hyphomycetous isolates were obtained that were placed in 22 genera and 49 species based on colony morphology and microscopic features (Table 1). Among these, Acremonium egyptiacum, A. sclerotigen...
[ 6 ] - A TAXONOMIC STUDY ON ALTERNARIA SPECIES IN IRAN (2)
In the continuation of studies on Alternaria species, some 500 isolates were obtained from seeds, soil and plant parts from various localities of Iran. Prior to morphological examination, pure cultures were obtained by single conidium and single chain methods. Descriptions for each taxon are based on cultures developed on potato carrot agar. Inoculated plates were incubated at 23-25°C under a c...
