members of cyperacea family are among the common host species of rust fungi. to our knowledge, till now seven puccinia species have been recorded on cyperaceous plants in iran. of these, four species were known on carex. in present report, other rust species are reported on carex orbicularis subsp. kotschyana (boiss. & hohenacker) kukkonen. this report is based on infected specimen collected fr...

Barbieri, M., Marcel, T. C., and Niks, R. E. 2011. Host status of false brome grass to the leaf rust fungus Puccinia brachypodii and the stripe rust fungus P. striiformis. Plant Dis. 95:1339-1345. Purple false brome grass (Brachypodium distachyon) has recently emerged as a model system for temperate grasses and is also a potential model plant to investigate plant interactions with economically ...

Rust fungi of the order Pucciniales are destructive pathogens of wheat worldwide. Leaf rust caused by the obligate, biotrophic basidiomycete fungus Puccinia triticina (Pt) is an economically important disease capable of causing up to 50 % yield losses. Historically, resistant wheat cultivars have been used to control leaf rust, but genetic resistance is ephemeral and breaks down with the emerge...

Crop fungal diseases are a major threat to crop health and food security worldwide. The epidemiology is the basis for effective sustainable control of diseases. Safe, effective, sustainable, eco-friendly disease measures have important economic, ecological, social significances. This Special Issue, “Epidemiology Control Fungal Diseases Plants”, collected one communication nine original research...

In the Republic of Tatarstan, due to favorable soil-climatic and market conditions, spring wheat production is developed, but grain yields are limited by a number unfavorable factors, one which spread fungal diseases. At same time, pressure pathogenic fungi makes it possible carry out fruitful breeding work in Tatarstan on resistance diseases, main activity Kazan Research Center RAS. The purpos...

BACKGROUND Ergosterol has been considered the "fungal sterol" for almost 125 years; however, additional sterol data superimposed on a recent molecular phylogeny of kingdom Fungi reveals a different and more complex situation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The interpretation of sterol distribution data in a modern phylogenetic context indicates that there is a clear trend from cholesterol and...

The aim of this study was to identify volatile and agar-diffusible antifungal metabolites produced by Bacillus sp. G341 with strong antifungal activity against various phytopathogenic fungi. Strain G341 isolated from four-year-old roots of Korean ginseng with rot symptoms was identified as Bacillus velezensis based on 16S rDNA and gyrA sequences. Strain G341 inhibited mycelial growth of all phy...
