Twenty fungal isolates associated with leaf spots of nutsedge plants (Cyperus spp.) from north of Iran (Guilan, Mazandaran, Zanjan and Golestan Provinces) are examined. According to the results of the morphological studies of grown fungi on culture media, Curvularia clavata, Curvularia lunata var. aeria, Dactylaria higginsii, and Myrothecium brachysporum are new taxa for Iran mycoflora and repo...

Abstract To analyze natural mycoflora of hazelnuts in Sulaimani province Iraq, this study conducted by collecting 33 (27 raw hazelnut kernel and 6 paste) samples determine their mycotoxin. Polyphasic approach consisting morphological examination molecular characterization based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (species specific PCR) was performed fungi identification. For the incidence aflatoxins (...

During 1997- 99 one seed samples of each 17 sesame cultivars (totally 17 samples) were collected from 10 localities in Iran. Blotter method and culture media (PDA, PMA, WA, CA, SNA, CLA, CYA, KCLA, WALM, MEA) were used to isolate and identity the mycoflora present on different parts of seeds. Totally, 145 isolates were obtained which included 34 species of 15 genera. The identified fungi were: ...

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...
