A promising alternative for insect pest control in agriculture is the use of entomopathogenic fungi. The objectives this work were to isolate and identify morphologically molecularly strains fungi from crops agricultural forestry interest development biocontrol technologies Argentina. Three Beauveria bassiana, two Metarhizium anisopliae isolated identified. Identity values greater than 99% with...

background and purpose: soil is the main habitat of saprophytic and pathogenic fungi. mucormycetes are one of the most parts of soil fungi and certain members are among opportunistic fungi and can cause systemic fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. the majority of human and animal infections are caused by members of the genera rhizopus, mucor, rhizomucor, lichtheimia (absidia), cunn...

Precise identification of species is critical for the study of biogeography of plankton and for applying laboratory culture results to the same organism in situ. Traditionally, identification has been based on knowledge of morphological traits transmitted from generation to generation of planktologists in monographs or at the bench. Despite recent rapid growth of molecular methods, taxonomists ...

Apricot is grown in a wide range of climatic conditions in Iran, however, it is frequently damaged by late spring frost. In this case, identification of new genotypes tolerant to cold stress is indispensably needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic population and relationships among 27 apricot accessions (Prunus armeniaca) by 30 microsatellite markers and 11 morp...

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a monocot, dioecious and high longevity tropical plant greatly considered due to its high economic importance in Middle East. This investigation was carried out to detect genetic relations among 34 cultivars of Iranian date palm, both males and females, using ISSR markers. Accordingly, total DNA was extracted using CTAB method and was subjected to PCR ampli...

Having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. In present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and RAPD markers. Significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

background: infectivity of herbivores with trichostrongylus nematodes is widespread in many countries, having a major economic impact on breeding, survivability, and productivity of domestic livestock. this study was carried out on trichostrongylus species isolated from domestic livestock in order to develop an easy-to-perform method for species identification. methods: trichostrongylus isolate...

desert truffles, hypogeous pezizales (ascomycota), are difficult to identify due to evolutionary convergence of morphological characters among taxa that share a similar habitat and mode of spore dispersal. in this paper we document the presence of picoa lefebvrei (pat.) maire (=phaeangium lefebvrei) in iran and use phylogenetic analysis of the its and 28s rdna to show that this species belon...
