tan spot disease of wheat with the causal agent of pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a very serious  disease throughout the world causing severe yield losses. out of 163 isolates of the pathogen, collected from golestan and mazandaran provinces, 58 were selected for a study of population genetic structure. selecting the real representatives from the whole population was carried out according to t...

an experiment was carried out in 2008-2009 to study the correlation between the reaction to potassium chlorate and pathogenicity on some iranian isolates of macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of soybean charcoal rot. from among a total of 48 collected isolates from the major soybean cultivation areas of golestan, mazandaran, ardabil, and lorestan provinces, twenty four isolates were sele...

16 isolates of fusarium culmorum obtained from washington, north dakota and minnesota were tested for pathogenicity on five cultivars and lines: chevron, ci 9549, excel, karl, larker, morex, robust, m48, m66 and m69 were evaluated for reaction to the mixture of all isolates of the pathogen under field condition. the results of glasshouse test indicated that the isolates 10, 25 and 27 were the m...

in this investigation the effect of trichoderma isolates in inhibition of aspergillus flavus growth and reducing of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) was studied in culture media and pistachio nuts. among trichoderma isolates, t1, t3, t4 and t17 isolates showed significant impact on inhibiting of a. flavus r5growth. t3 and t4 isolates were the most effective isolates, which caused 84.40% and 77.88% reduction...

samples were collected from soil and as well from phyllosphere of rice plant and subjected to dilution plate technique on rbsf trichoderma selective medium. a total of 202 trichoderma isolates were obtained from rice fields at different geographical locations distributed all over mazandaran province. single spore isolates were obtained and genomic dna extracted from all the isolates using dna e...

The Mesozoic, mid-Cretaceous (Barremian to Cenomanian) deposits of southern Croatia comprise a succession of shallow tropical-water, inner-platform deposits that formed on a Bahama-type isolated Adriatic carbonate platform in the Dinarides. This succession is dominated by benthic foraminifers and dasycladalean algae, and is exposed in a nearly continuous outcrop section on the islands and along...

Atmospheric hyperoxia, with pO(2) in excess of 30%, has long been hypothesized to account for late Paleozoic (360-250 million years ago) gigantism in numerous higher taxa. However, this hypothesis has not been evaluated statistically because comprehensive size data have not been compiled previously at sufficient temporal resolution to permit quantitative analysis. In this study, we test the hy...

this study was carried out to identify fusarium species associated with sugar beet root rot and yellows. pathogenicity of fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of fusariumyellows of sugar beet was also investigated. samples of infected roots were collected from fields in major sugar beet producing areas in khorasan province during 1999-2000. infected roots were washed, surface sterilised and pla...

dutch elm disease is one of the most destructive vascular wilt diseases in the world. ophiosatoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi had been the most important causal agents of the dutch elm disease in the last century. so, in order to manage of disease, their identification and distinction is necessary. these fungal species were distinguished based on morphological, physiological and molecular characters....

a determination of the genetic variation of the fungus isolated from graminous weeds which is highly beneficial to know probable genetic recombination in the fungus populations was done for the first time in iran through pcr reaction. the isolates of fungus “magnaporthe grisea” from graminous weed hosts and from rice were analyzed through rapd-pcr to assay the mating type and genetic diversity....
