Four rust raxa in 3 genera and one form genus are newly recorded for Iran. Among these, Melampsoridium is a new genus for the Iranian rust flora. M. carpini on Carpinus sp., Coleosporium inulae on Inula salicina ssp. aspera, Puccinia saniculae on Sanicula europea and Uredo Otostegiae on otostegia persica are repoted for the first time in Iran. Number of urediniospore pores formerly believed 2 i...

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 ...

Fungi associated with leaf spot symptoms of plants in forest areas of Golestan province, Iran, were collected and examined based on morphological characteristics of conidiophores, conidia and conidiogenous loci. Ten taxa were identified. Among the taxa, Passalora cf. bacilligera and Pseudocladosporium hachijoens are new records for the mycobiota of Iran. Cercospora on Eruca sp. was morphologica...

During this survey, 195 species of coleopterans have been recorded from the Lagodekhi Protected Areas (LPA). Thirty families are for first time area, which Rhysodidae, Sphindidaeand, and Thymalidae new Georgia. One hundred fifty-seven to LPA 66 them country records.

In present study, eight isolates of the genus Curvularia, recovered from plants of the cowpea, maize and bottlebrush in Khuzestan province, were identified based on molecular phylogeny in combination with morphology. The mycelial biomass of the isolates, produced in potato-dextrose-Broth, were collected by passing through filter papers and freeze-dried. DNA was extracted using a phenol...
