The present study describes approaches for the identification of individual beech trees using maternal tissues from their seeds or fruits. Four microsatellite markers were used for genetic analysis of seedlots from Fagus orientalis Lipsky, a highly out-crossing tree species. Seeds from 11 single-tree harvests belonging to one population, (7 seeds from each), as well as non-paranchymatic materna...

Abstract Background and Aims: Apple scar skin disease (ASSD) is one of the destructive diseases of pome fruits which is caused by ASSVd. Case presentation: We report molecular detection of ASSVd in symptomatic apples cv. Red Delicious with simultaneous presence of a new variant of HSVd from Khorasan Razavi province. Conclusion: This is the first report on the association of HSVd with...

apple scar skin disease (assd) is one of the destructive diseases of pome fruits which is caused by assvd. we report molecular detection of assvd in symptomatic apples cv. red delicious with simultaneous presence of a new variant of hsvd from khorasan razavi province. this is the first report on the association of hsvd with assvd in apple trees showing merely symptoms of apple dapple on the fruit.

during spring and summer of 2012, a disease characterized by panicle blight was observed on some pistachio (pistacia vera l.) trees grown in kerman province. eighteen isolates of a botryosphaeriaceae were obtained from affected panicles. based on morphological and molecular characteristics, isolates were identified as botrysphaeria dothidea. to our knowledge, this is the first report of b. doth...
