Exobasidium setsutaiense sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate the causal agent of leaf blister on Rhododendron semibarbatum. After examination herbarium materials (IUM) and newly collected fresh materials, symptom R. semibarbatum was clearly different from those arboreum, host butleri. Morphology basidiospores slightly curved towards a hilum with 3–4 septa, whereas number septa in E. butleri 0–1. The mode germination by germ tube or budding. characterized chlorotic spot where lesion thickened...
The present study deals with the inactivation of fungal spores in clinical waste using advanced supercritical carbon‐dioxide (SC‐CO 2 ) treatment technique. process was investigated under different conditions pressure, temperature, and processing time. efficiency SC‐CO determined terms log reduction rate spores. Almost 100% initial obtained. Predicted experimental found to be 5.93 6.00, respectively, optimal (35 MPa, 75°C 90 min). treated Aspergillus niger Penicillium simplicissimum were...
The pathogenic fungi, Rigidoporus microporus and Corynespora cassiicola are among the major agents of root leaf disease rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). In this study, endophytic fungi were isolated from seeds H. brasiliensis obtained different regions Malaysia to determine diversity endophytes inhabiting select a potential biocontrol agent against selected Hevea pathogens. Through morphological observation molecular identification, six genera identified namely Aspergillus, Colletotrichum,...
Sixteen isolates of different pathogenicity groups the plant pathogen Verticillium dahliae and four V. albo‐atrum from Japan were analysed by means an RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) method using a PCR (polymerase chain reaction). could be distinguished analysis. Four also classified to certain extent this method. Similarities differences in banding patterns obtained may useful molecular tool phylogenetic studies groups.
A new combination, Clinoconidium onumae, is proposed to accommodate Ustilago onumae (syn. Melanopsichium onumae) from Japan, producing galls on shoot buds of Cinnamomum tenuifolium (Lauraceae). This taxonomic treatment based observations gastroid sporulation in peripheral lacunae the host and basidiospore morphology. species morphologically phylogenetically similar Cl. cinnamomi fruits Ci. burmannii, reported Taiwan, but differs by having larger basidiospores different morphology gall...
A new species of Kumanasamuha is described and illustrated from axenic single-spore isolates Chorioactis geaster. The characteristics conidia hyphae are the same as dematiaceous hyphomycete observed on decayed trunks Quercus spp., where C. geaster appeared in field Japan. Our results indicated that situ colonizes spp.
A new name, Clinoconidium globosum, is proposed to accommodate Sphacelotheca cinnamomi from Japan, producing galls on fruits of Cinnamomum daphnoides (Lauraceae). This decision based observations gastroid sporulation in peripheral lacunae the host and basidiospore morphology. species characterized by small, globose basidiospores. Its morphological features are described newly collected specimens. Results recently published phylogenetic analyses also support this name.
