Brown stem rot (BSR) is one of the most important diseases of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in the north-central soybean-production region (10), yet the causal agent of the disease is poorly known. The disease is characterized by a browning of the vascular system and pith, and characteristic chlorosis and necrosis of the foliage develops late in the season, usually in August (2). However, si...

conclusions according to the role of different genera of fungi in the process of otomycosis, much attention on the macroscopic and microscopic examination of the samples leads to special treatment decisions of a physician. results thirty-three patients (55.36%) were female and the rest were male. fungal elements were observed in 11 cases (19.64%) in the direct examination, alone, and 45 specime...
