the genera fusicladium, pollaccia and spilocaea are anamorphs of venturia that after conservation of fusicladium against spilocaea, pollaccia, cycloconium and pseudocladosporium, it has been used instead of all anamorph names. during 2011 twigs, leaves and fruits of symptomatic hosts containing fusicladium species from guilan, mazandaran, qazvin and ardabil provinces were sampled and examined. ...

During 2011, twigs, leaves and fruits of symptomatic hosts containing Fusicladium species from Guilan, Mazandaran, Qazvin and Ardabil provinces were sampled and examined. Five species including F. carpophilum, F. fraxini, F. oleagineum, F. pomi and F. pyrorum were identified based on morphological data. Of these, F. carpophilum and F. fraxini are identified as new records for the mycobiota of I...

Esculetin, synonymous with 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin, is the main active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine Cortex Fraxini. The twig skin or trunk bark of Cortex Fraxini are used by herb doctors as a mild, bitter liver and gallbladder meridians' nontoxic drug as well as dietary supplement. Recently, with a variety of novel esculetin derivatives being reported, the molecular mechanism re...

Evaluation of the incidence of the leaf spot disease caused by the biotrophic pathogen Fusicladium oleagineum on two olive cultivars (Olea europaea L.) was carried out during six years (2009/2015) in groves located at Touiref (North West of Tunisia). The studies focused on Meski and Chetoui cultivars. The evaluated foliar incidence of disease was analyzed in relationship with some factors. Dise...

Although morphologically similar, species of Cladophialophora (Herpotrichiellaceae) were shown to be phylogenetically distinct from Pseudocladosporium (Venturiaceae), which was revealed to be synonymous with the older genus, Fusicladium. Other than being associated with human disorders, species of Cladophialophora were found to also be phytopathogenic, or to occur as saprobes on organic materia...

The most common fungal diseases of Olea europaea are olive leaf spot (Fusicladium oleagineum), anthracnose (Colletotrichum spp.) and cercospora (Pseudocercospora cladosporioides). To know the load during vegetative cycle, an aerobiological phenological study was conducted in grove North-West Spain. For study, Spanish Aerobiological Network protocol followed using a Hirst-type spore trap. goal t...

Two new species of mites of the genus Tarsonemus Can. & Fanz., 1876: T. fraxini n. sp. and T. bistridentati n. sp. are described and illustrated based on material from instars associated with bark beetles in Ukraine. The systematic position of new species and their host relationships are briefly discussed.

Different PCR protocols have been established for detection of European fruit trees phytoplasmas; however the majority of the procedures for extracting phytoplasma DNA are complex, time consuming, and expensive, with a risk of contamination or loss of target DNA. In present study, a crude extract preparation method previously used to detect other plant pathogens was adapted to samples from appl...
