the genus phaeoacremonium is associated with decline disease of woody plants and with human infections. members of this genus have broad host range and wide geographical distribution. during 2010, ten isolates of phaeoacremonium were recovered from vascular tissues of persimmon (diospyros kaki) trees, showing decline symptoms in shiraz city. anamorphic characteristics such as, conidiophore morp...

due to the complex assessment of young walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) based on morphological traits, advance molecular tools have provided a new prospect for cultivar identification and dna fingerprinting. in this study, specific molecular keys were identified for 5 iranian walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) using 30 ssr markers. the results showed that 5 ssr markers produced polymorphic ba...

background and objectives: oleaceae family contains approximately 20 species of small trees and ancient world of the mediterranean, north africa, southeast asia, north to southern china, scotland and east australia have a wide dispersion. they are evergreen and have small leaves that are integrated have been met and the fruit is drup. olive trees resistant to drought and adapt to poor soils and...

allergy to prosopis juliflora (mesquite) pollen is one of the common causes of respiratory allergy in tropical countries. mesquite is widely used as street trees in towns and ornamental shade trees in parks and gardens throughout arid and semiarid regions of iran. the inhalation of mesquite pollen and several species of amaranthus/chenopodiaceae family is the most important cause of allergic re...

Background and Purpose: Cryptococcus species are pathogenic and non-pathogenic basidiomycete yeasts that are found widely in the environment. Based on phenotypic methods, this genus has many species; however, its taxonomy is presently being re- evaluated by modern techniques. The Cryptococcus species complex includes two sibling taxa of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. We aimed ...

the molecular phylogenetic trees of 42 representative samples of malaysian pangasiid were constructed using cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi). the topologies resulting from molecular analyses, maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and bayesian inference, revealed the paraphyly of pangasius genus and monophyly of p. nasutus, p. bocourti, p. micronemus, and p. hypopthalmus with high support v...

When phylogenetic trees constructed from morphological and molecular evidence disagree (i.e. are incongruent) it has been suggested that the differences are spurious or that the molecular results should be preferred a priori. Comparing trees can increase confidence (congruence), or demonstrate that at least one tree is incorrect (incongruence). Statistical analyses of 181 molecular and 49 morph...
