The genus Phoma Sacc. consists of important fungal plant pathogenic species occurring on economically important cultivated crops in spite of many other saprobic species. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify 35 isolates of Phoma species and related taxa collected from different hosts by means of morphological and molecular characters. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses based on ITS1-5.8S-I...

Xylariaceous fungi are typically saprobes, but are also commonly isolated as endophytes and some species are pathogens. Two species of Lopadostoma (Xylariaceae, Xylariales) are reported for the first time from Iran. L. dryophilum was found from dead branches of Quercus sp. in East Azerbaiejan and L. fagi from dead branches of Fagus sp. in Ardabil province. Based on morphology and sequence data ...

All of the species are newly recorded from hypersaline soils ...

Between 1970 and 1995, twenty collecting expeditions were carried out in North Korea by the researchers of Hungarian Natural History Museum.

Meloboris pektusana are described from Korea. following 23 species reported first time Ko...

total of 35 species of leucosiid crabs have been recorded by several authors and the current survey from the persian gulf. here, zoogeography of these species and their zoogeographical affinities within indo-west pacific region are discussed. in addition, present taxonomic survey off the iranian coasts of the persian gulf resulted in finding 14 leucosiid crabs, of which arcania erinacea and par...
