Cercosporoid fungi (former Cercospora s. lat.) represent one of the largest groups of hyphomycetes belonging to the Mycosphaerellaceae (Ascomycota). They include asexual morphs, asexual holomorphs or species with mycosphaerella-like sexual morphs. Most of them are leaf-spotting plant pathogens with special phytopathological relevance. The only monograph of Cercospora s. lat., published by Chupp...

Three species of Mycosphaerella, namely M. eumusae, M. fijiensis, and M. musicola are involved in the Sigatoka disease complex of bananas. Besides these three primary pathogens, several additional species of Mycosphaerella or their anamorphs have been described from Musa. However, very little is known about these taxa, and for the majority of these species no culture or DNA is available for stu...

Using a rich longitudinal data set, two issues regarding academic performance analysis are examined. First, we address the endogeneity of pre-exam school-leaving choices to (potential) performance in grade 10 national examinations and error correlation between the two outcomes. Second, we evaluate the sensitivity of academic performance analysis to excluding variables often unavailable in datas...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the evidence available in the literature for the safety and efficacy of Dioscoreae Rhizoma(DR) for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. METHODS Literature searches were performed in MEDLINE and three Korean medical databases up to April 2013. All studies evaluating the effects on peripheral neuropathy or the safety of DR monopreparations were conside...

Cercosporoid fungi (formerly Cercospora s. lat.) represent one of the largest groups of hyphomycetes belonging to the Mycosphaerellaceae (Ascomycota). They include asexual morphs, asexual holomorphs, or species with mycosphaerella-like sexual morphs. Most of them are leaf-spotting plant pathogens with special phytopathological relevance. In the first part of a new monographic work, cercosporoid...

We sequenced and compared the genomes of the Dothideomycete fungal plant pathogens Cladosporium fulvum (Cfu) (syn. Passalora fulva) and Dothistroma septosporum (Dse) that are closely related phylogenetically, but have different lifestyles and hosts. Although both fungi grow extracellularly in close contact with host mesophyll cells, Cfu is a biotroph infecting tomato, while Dse is a hemibiotrop...

Study area was selected from Talou farm to Chahjam Kavir in Damghan. Several plant types were distinguished in mentioned site. The types were Artemisia herba alba-Pteropyrum olivieri, Anabasis aphyllaLycium depressum, Tamarix. spp.-Halocnemum strobilaceum, Ha. strobilaceum Halostachys bellangeriana, Ha. strobilaceum-Limonium iranicum. In each plant type, three dominant plant species were select...

Species of Eucalyptus, mostly native to Australia, are widely planted as exotics in the tropics and Southern Hemisphere. These plantations represent an important source of fuel-wood, structural timber and pulp. Eucalyptus plantations are, however, vulnerable to infection by pathogens, including Mycosphaerella spp. and their anamorphs, which have caused substantial damage, in many parts of the w...
