in the course of studies about fungi associated with pistachio (pistacia vera l.) die-back disease in the ghaen region of southern khorasan (iran), one species of geosmithia was found. the isolates were identified as geosmithia lavendula (raper & fennell) pitt based on its morphological and molecular properties. the genus geosmithia (ascomycota: hypocreales) is belonging to mitosporic filame...

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 ...

background and purpose: the fusarium species are among the most important fungi in the medical, veterinary and agricultural fields. materials and methods: in the present study, 172 strains of these fungi have been analyzed. the high molecular weight dnas were extracted from 23 reference strains as well as from 149 isolated fusarium species. using the designed nucleotide primers from rdna of fus...

background: dermatophytes are the most common causative agents of superficial mycoses. species identification of these fungi is important from therapeutic and epidemiological point of wive. traditional approaches for identification of dermatophytes at the species level, relying on macroscopic and microscopic features of the colonies, usually are time-consuming and unreliable in many circumstanc...
