In order to study of the form-genus Cytospora, around 400 specimens were collected from all over the Iran during 2003-2005. In this paper, the first part of the obtained results, including seven form-species are presented. Cytospora atrocirrhata, C. carbonacea, C. gutnerae, C. nivea and C. rosarum are reported as new members for mycoflora of Iran. Also, Vitis vinifera for C. leucostoma and Celt...

The reexamination of the fungal genus Botryosphaeria on 12 plant species 10 families was carried out based molecular phylogenetic analyses using regions translation elongation factor 1-α, β-tubulin, DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit, and internal transcribed spacer region rDNA morphological characteristics. Japanese isolates were divided into five clades include dothidea, B. qingyuanensis,...

Endophytic fungi were isolated from the inner bark of Ventilago madrasapatna, a wellknown medicinal plant of India. It was investigated for endophytic mycoflora as a possible source of bioactive secondary metabolites. A total 66 isolates of 14 species belongs to 5 classes, were studied adopting a standard isolation protocol. The colonization frequency of the endophytic fungi was reported as 87....

Fungi associated with seeds of five cultivars of rice were isolated by agar and blotter paper methods. The fungus was isolated from the contaminated surface of unmilled rice grain and identified based on their typical structure and basic characters as suggested by Barnett and Hunter (1972). Five pathogenic fungi, namely Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Penicillium citrinum, Alternaria padwickii an...

Aphyllophoroid macromycetes are a key link in natural and artificial biocenoses, particular, forest ecosystems. Their peculiarity is due to the variety of morphological forms ability colonise various substrates. The establishment fundamental issues biotic organisation this group fungi, which considers both their specific features integration into general ecological patterns, necessary basis for...

During a study several species of mitosporic fungi which have been collected from Guilan Province were examined and seven species viz.: Hansfordia pulvinata, Myriellina cydoniae, Phloeospora cf. ulmi, Questieriella sp., Sarcinella questieri, Septoria cf. castaneicola and Sirosporium mori were found to be new records for Iran mycoflora. Moreover, Sirosporium celtidis is described and illustrated...

A range of fungi occur in the mangrove ecosystem although these differ as to their location and some fungi occur more frequently than others. In a study dealing with the frequency of occurrence of manglicolous fungi on Avicennia and Bruguiera from a mangrove habitat of Kerala, South India, 32 manglicolous marine fungi belonging to 23 ascomycetes, 1 basidiomycete and 8 mitosporic fungi were obta...
