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....

The colonization pattern and extent of decay produced in paddy stubble by soil inhabiting mycoflora were done by using nylon net bag technique. Among the three methods used for isolation of fungi, dilution plate technique recorded the highest number of fungi followed by damp chamber and direct observation method. Nutrient availability and climatic conditions (temperature, humidity and rainfall)...

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...
