the present study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of total mycobiota and aspergillus species at different stages of fig production and processing in iran. in the meantime, the potential of different culture media for isolation of fungal species from figs was also investigated. the mycobiota of 389 samples of dried fig were studied. total fungal counts ranged from

The 900-odd species of Ficus (20, 21) constitute the most distinctive of the widespread genera of tropical plants. Figs have (a) a complex obligatory mutualism with their pollinating agaonid fig wasps, yet are found in almost all tropical habitat types and geographic locations [this sets them apart from ant-acacias (63-65), euglossine-orchids (24,26), moth-yuccas (45, 88, 89,), ant-epiphytes (6...

This is the first comparative study of correlated evolution between figs (Ficus species, Moraceae) and their pollinators (Hymenoptera: Agaoninae) based on molecular phylogenies of both lineages. Fig relationships based on the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA and pollinator relationships inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences enabled the...

[15]. Our implementation on the MasPar allows rendering with changing viewpoints of five frames/second and two frames/sec-ond for higher quality trilinear reconstruction on 128x128x128 byte volumes. This improves on previous results [2][3] [9][10][12] because of the better filters used, and we discussed the filter differences. Straight forward extensions to our techniques include coher-ency ada...
