Abstract Taxonomy of Pseudohydnum gelatinosum and its sister taxa is revised via morphological data a four-gene dataset (ITS, nc LSU rDNA, TEF1 , RPB1 ). Identity P. Tremellodon pusillus re-established based on newly collected sequenced material from their type localities. alienum Europe; umbrosum temperate East Asia; cystidiatum meridianum placibile Vietnam; omnipavum North America are describ...

Diaporthe ampelina (=Phomopsis viticola) is one of the most important pathogens causing both cane/leaf spot and wood canker diseases in grape growing countries world. In this research, morphological, molecular pathogenic characterization 23 D. isolates were studied their sensitivity tested against hot-water treatments some fungicides used vineyards. Morphologically, grouped according to “W type...

In addition to rusts, the subphylum Pucciniomycotina (Basidiomycota) includes a large number of unicellular or dimorphic fungi which are usually studied as yeasts. Ribosomal DNA sequence analyses have shown that the current taxonomic system of the pucciniomycetous yeasts which is based on phenotypic criteria is not concordant with the molecular phylogeny and many genera are polyphyletic. Here w...

The genus Septoria includes important plant pathogens with worldwide distribution, commonly associated with leaf spots and stem cankers of a broad range of plant hosts. In this study, eight isolates of Septoria were recovered from leaves with leaf spot on four herbaceous and woody plants from Gilan, Ardebil, East and West Azerbaijan provinces in north and northwest of Iran. The isolates were st...

The purpose of this study was to identify the Fusarium species associated with selected medicinal plant species of Lamiaceae and Asteraceae in Kerman, the second-largest province of Iran. The plants showing wilting/rotting symptoms as well as asymptomatic plants were collected from main medicinal plants reservoirs and production areas. Fusarium species were identified based on...

Background: The double heterozygous state of α/β thalassemia may alter the hematological indices and modify the phonotype. In addion, definite characterizaon of co-inheritance of α- and β-thalassemia heterozygous carriers may change the process of genec counseling. Materials and Methods: An Iranian couple with low hematological indices was analyzed for α-globin gene deleons using mulpl...

BACKGROUND Manipulations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae classically depend on use of auxotrophy selection markers. There are several disadvantages to this in a microbial cell factory setting: (1) auxotrophies must first be engineered in prototrophic strains, and many industrial strains are polyploid/aneuploid prototrophs (2) available strain auxotrophies must be paired with available repair plasmi...

The members of Amanita sect. Phalloideae (Fr.) Quél. are responsible for many fatalities worldwide. However, some species in this section have previously been reported as non-lethal and lacking deadly toxins. Sequences five genes (ITS, nrLSU, RPB2, TEF1-α, TUB2) belonging to the from tropical Africa, America, Asia, Australia, Europe were included study elucidate phylogenetic relationships among...

A new species, Pestalotiopsis licualacola, was isolated from grey leafspots of Licuala grandis (ruffled fan palm). It is morphologically distinct in having relatively small, greyish brown conidia (16–20 × 3–5 μm), and 1–3 short apical appendages without knobs. Phylogenetic analysis based on combination of ITS, β-tubulin and tef1 gene sequence data clearly distinguishes P. licualacola from other...
