In this study, ITS–rDNA region was used to identify some anamorphic powdery mildews in Guilan province. According to the results, Erysiphe species on Vicia faba and Sesbania punicea showed 100% similarity to each other, however, without ITS sequence of holotype of E. sesbaniae it is impossible to make conclusion whether Vicia faba powdery mildew fungus actually belongs to E. sesbaniae or E. tri...

many powdery mildew fungi occur as anamorphic state on different host plants in guilan province, iran. the species have usually been identified as oidium spp. in order to identify teleomorphic species using anamorphic characteristics and host range, several infected plant specimens were collected from around guilan province during 2004-2011. based upon  the  results of the study 25 species were...

A distinct black leafspot with fungal growth was found on Platanus orientalis ‘Digitata’ (cut-leaf oriental plane tree) in northern Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, February 2019. Morphological characteristics, internal transcribed spacer sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the associated fungus identified it as Pseudocercospora platanigena (= Stigmina platani). This pathogen has previou...

Platanus orientalis L., the oriental plane perennial woody tree [1] with important riparian species [2] is widely spread in Crete and other southern islands. Its natural spread ranges from the southern Balkans, Crete, mountains of Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq, eastwardly to Kashmir valley, where it is familiarly known as the ‘chinar’. Chinar, Platanus orientalis kashmeriana, is the lone species...
