Abstract Around the world, isolate collections in mycological institutes have long preserved valuable specimens and information for science. In present study, we determine Cryphonectria -like taxonomic rarities our 10–24 years old collection from Balkans to link dry mycelium with DNA data. Using ITS sequences, confirm first time occurrence of carpinicola on a Carpinus tree extend range radicali...

Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu is a species originating from China that, during the 20th century, has spread rapidly throughout many countries, affecting mainly different of genus Castanea spp. In fact, it considered to be most important pest chestnut trees (Castanea sativa Miller), causing significant production losses. The adoption complementary measures chemical and biological controls woul...

The present study was aimed to assess the macronutrient composition and the amino acid and vitamin E profiles of Castanea sativa shell from different production regions of Portugal (Minho, Trás-os-Montes and Beira-Alta). The nutritional composition was similar for all samples, with a high moisture content and low fat amounts. Arginine and leucine were the predominant essential amino acids (EAA)...

Erysiphe cruciferarum, a causative agent of powdery mildew disease, has emerged as serious threat in Brassica juncea and its closely related species. To date, no resistant cultivars have been identified species against mildew. Here, we used histopathological, biochemical, molecular approaches to elucidate the disease progression host responses three cenospecies, namely B. juncea, Camelina sativ...

Podosphaera (Sphaerotheca) euphorbiae on Euphorbia epithymoides (= E. polychroma, cushion spurge) is reported for the first time in North America. Neoerysiphe (Erysiphe) galeopsidis on Lamium amplexicaule (henbit), Blumeria (Erysiphe) graminis on Festuca idahoenis (Idaho fescue), Taphrina johansonii on Populus tremuloides (trembling aspen), and Taphrina occidentalis on Alnus rubra (red alder) a...

Total number of pollen, pollen recognition, fructose, glucose, sucrose and moisture were examined in 41 honey samples collected Ayder Plateau August 2012. Following the recognition samples, 36 taxa detected. Castanea sativa Miller. was found all a dominant. The total (TPN-10 g) 10g varieted between 3438 87056. It has been determined that normal dominant pollen. content ranged 16.4-20.9%. In fru...
