The genus Eucalyptus encompasses several species of industrial importance. Many of these species have been subjected to genetic characterization using different kinds of DNA markers. More than 1000 microsatellites have been identifi ed from the genome of eucalypts and they are highly amenable for cross species transferability. During cross amplifi cation of microsatellites, homoplasy is reporte...

in order to study the effect of afforestation in reduction oil pollution, one planted area in dezful, affected by pollutions from kuwaiti oil-wells burning was employed. six species, eucalyptus camaldulensis, eucalyptus microtheca, dalbegia sissoo, acacia salicina, acacia stenophylla, populus euphratica were selected. growth parameters, leaf samples and soil samples from different depths (0-30,...

Infections due to Cryptococcus are a leading cause of fungal infections worldwide and are acquired as a result of environmental exposure to desiccated yeast or spores. The ability of Cryptococcus to grow, mate, and produce infectious propagules in association with plants is important for the maintenance of the genetic diversity and virulence factors important for infection of animals and humans...

The exotic rust fungus Puccinia psidii sensu lato was first detected in Australia in April 2010. This study aimed to determine the host-range potential of this accession of the rust by testing its pathogenicity on plants of 122 taxa, representative of the 15 tribes of the subfamily Myrtoideae in the family Myrtaceae. Each taxon was tested in two separate trials (unless indicated otherwise) that...
