Infected tissues of roots and leaves of various grasses as well as soil around their rhizosphere were sampled from Fars, Golestan, Isfahan, Khorasan Shomali, Khorasan Razavi, Mazandaran and Semnan provinces (Iran). Based on morphological characteristics and available keys, four species of Bipolaris including B. austreliensis, B. indica, B. micropus and B. spicifera, four species of Curvularia i...

In the present study, four species of Bipolaris viz. B. salkadehensis, B. coicis, B. ellisii, and B. maydis and two species of Curvularia viz. C. tuberculata and C. comoriensis were isolated and identified from different poaceousspecies. Bipolaris coicis on Coix lacryma-jobi, B. ellisii on Zea mays, C. tuberculata on Oryza sativa, Sorghum bicolor, Cyperus rotundus and C. comoriensis on Oryza sa...

One of the most important limiting factors for the production of the grafted cactus in Korea is the qualitative and quantitative yield loss derived from stem rots especially caused by Bipolaris cactivora. This study is aimed to develop microbial control agents useful for the control of the bipolaris stem rot. Two bacteria (GA1-23 and GA4-4) selected out of 943 microbial isolates because of thei...

Secondary metabolites from fungi organisms have extensive past and present use in the treatment of many diseases and serve as compounds of interest both in their natural form and as templates for synthetic modification. Through high throughput screening (HTS) and bioassay-guided isolation, we isolated two bioactive compounds hamigerone (1) and radicinol (2). These compounds were isolated from f...

In this study, 10 species of Bipolaris viz.B. bicolor, B. cynodontis, B. cylindrica, B. hawaiiensis,B. prieskaensis, B. sorghicola, B. sorokiniana,B. spicifera, B. zeae and B. zeicola and four species of Curvularia viz.C. fallax, C. heteropogonicola, C. inaequalis and C. lunata were identified on graminicolous species or soil. Bipolaris cylindrica, B. prieskaensis, B. zeae,C. fallax and C. hete...
