Diplodia pinea is a fungal pathogen that causes shoot blight in pines and widely spread red pine (Pinus resinosa) jack banksiana) forests Michigan. The objective of this study was to examine whether infection with D. compromises wood quality stands. Acoustic data collected using an acoustic tomographer from the stem region at breast height (1.3 m) trees across two categories forest health condi...

Apple fruit cv. Golden Delicious symptoms of rot were collected from storage in the area Eğirdir district Isparta province, Turkey. Based on morphology and phylogeny DNA sequence data for internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA region, isolated pathogen was identified as Diplodia bulgarica. This is first description D. bulgarica causing postharvest Malus domestica Turkey worldwide.

UNLABELLED In this paper we give an account of the genera and species in the Botryosphaeriaceae. We consider morphological characters alone as inadequate to define genera or identify species, given the confusion it has repeatedly introduced in the past, their variation during development, and inevitable overlap as representation grows. Thus it seems likely that all of the older taxa linked to t...

T HE extent of infection of the corn grain by fungi of various kinds is an important item in the grading of corn by physical or chemical means or by performance tests. It may also be an important item in the feeding value of the grain for livestock. Mitchell and Beadles (i94o) have studied the impairment in the nutritive value of corn by various types of ear rot, using growing albino rats as te...

A large collection of Botryosphaeriaceae isolates obtained from fruit and forest trees with fruit rot, canker and dieback disease symptoms in northern provinces of the country were examined in this study. Based on morphology and sequence data (ITS and EF1-α), two species, Diplodia mutila and Spencermartinsia viticola are illustrated and described as new records for Iran mycobiota. Furthermore, ...
