in present study, two species of hyphomycetes fungi including, cephaliophora tropica (in soil), and monascus pilosus (on corn silage) are reported for the first time to iranian mycobiota. descriptions of these species have been provided with morphological characteristics and its rdna sequence analyses.in present study, two species of hyphomycetes fungi including, cephaliophora tropica (in soil)...

By studying the type specimens and field works from locus classicus, it became clear that the two species of Silene eremicana and S. goniocaula which are considered as conspecific in the Flora Iranica are distinct species. Silene commelinifolia var. isophylla is considered as a synonym of S. eremicana. The numbers of herbarium specimens (voucher) are emended and the descriptions of each species...

The genus Melilotus contains altogether some 20 species (WIERSEMA et al. 1990) in the world which mostly distributed in Europe, Central and SW. Asia and N. Africa (HUCHINSON 1964). BOISSIER (1872) listed 13 species of Melilotus in which 6 of them are found in the Iranian flora. PARSA (1948) following Boissier’s work referring some new collections made by other workers, listed the same species n...

Pythium species are cosmopolitan, fungus-like oomycotes which may cause diseases in plants, animals and even human beings. Some of the species, however, are saprophytes and also well-proven biological control agents of plant pathogenic fungi. Since 1968, when the first Pythium species was reported from Iran, ca 44 species, two varieties, and five groups of this genus have been reported from dif...

Following 4 species of Mosses are reported from Hezar Masjed mountains (north of Khorasan province) as new records to Iran: Pottia lanceolata, Grimmia alpicola, Bryum badium & Ovthotrichum schimperi.The descriptions, collecting localities (habitats) and distribution of each species in the world along with their figures are given.

In present study, two species of Hyphomycetes fungi including, Cephaliophora tropica (in soil), and Monascus pilosus (on corn silage) are reported for the first time to Iranian mycobiota. Descriptions of these species have been provided with morphological characteristics and ITS rDNA sequence analyses.  

During a study on fungal diversity in petroleum contaminated soils in Khuzestan province, two species of hyphomycetes were isolated, which represent new records for the mycobiota of Iran. Based on the combination of morphological data and ITS-rDNA sequence, the isolates were identified as Alternaria obovoidea and Emericellopsis pallida. Morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided ...

Sixteen isolates of Colletotrichum were collected from leaves with anthracnose symptoms or leaf spots of twelve wild, cultivated and ornamental plant species from the Guilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan provinces in Northern Iran. Five different species, including C. aenigma, C. gigasporum, C. godetiae, C. karstii, and C. musae were identified based on the DNA sequence data (TUB2, GS, GAPDH). Four...

During the study on rust mycobiota of Central Alborz, several rust infected specimens belonging to Salicaceae family including Populus and Salix species were investigated. Populus nigra, P. euphratica, Saix alba and S. excelsa were infected by various Melampsora species. Uredinial (II) and telial (III) stages of rust were present on infected plants. According to morphological characters, five f...
