in order to identify daldinia species in guilan province, several specimens were collected during 2011–13. a total of six taxa, including daldinia caldariorum (on morus alba); d. childiae (on parrotia persica, pterocarya fraxinifolia, morus alba, quercus sp., prunus sp., citrus sinensis, gleditschia caspica, buxus sempervirens, carpinis betulus and alnus subcordata); d. gelatinoides (on m. alba...

A revision of Fusarium-like species associated with the plant genus Buxus led to a reconsideration of generic concepts in the Fusarium clade of the Nectriaceae. Phylogenetic analyses of the partial second largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II (rpb2) and the larger subunit of the ATP citrate lyase (acl1) gene exons confirm the existence of a clade, here called the terminal Fusarium clade, tha...

Eighty eight plus trees representing the entire distributional range of Pinus wallichiana (Blue pine or Kail ) in Kashmir Himalaya were sampled to determine the extent and nature of variability and character association in eight cone and seed traits. Wide variations were observed in cone weight (28.16-46.0 g), number of seeds/cone (41.6-90.6) and 1000 seed weight (42.0-67.0 g). Genetic coeffici...
