Pythium-induced damping-off of cucumber is a major constraint to production in different parts the world. Although chemical fungicides are used for managing this disease, they have many drawbacks environment. The ability antagonistic fungi isolated from rhizosphere and endosphere Dactyloctenium robecchii Moraea sisyrinchium control soilborne pathogen Pythium aphanidermatum was inspected. Native Trichoderma isolates, ghanense citrinoviride, were plant stem soil samples collected Al-Seeb,...
Background:In the mid-20th century (the 1950s), public health was badly threatened by a deadly virus known as poliovirus. Poliomyelitis is highly contagious, fatal, and exclusive human disease caused poliovirus that affects mostly children under age of five. Among disabilities, low level physical activity determined in polio survivors, which indicates need for assistance mobility. Aim study: The study aimed to determine correlation between family support self-efficacy among paralytic...
Oman has a diverse landscape, consisting of vast deserts, mountains, coastal areas, and, in the south, meadows and forests. In 2016, checklist 318 fungal species recorded was compiled. More than 100 plant pathogenic other fungi have been described country since first checklist. Furthermore, numerous nomenclatural changes made taxonomy over past decade. Therefore, an updated outline appears to be essential for various research purposes country, including systematics diversity studies,...
In the present study, a newly found species of Volvariella from Oman is described and named V. darbatica . Evidence for this decision based on morphology multigene phylogeny. characterized by small-sized basidiomata, pale pinkish to brownish pileus, ellipsoid ovoid basidiospores measuring 5.0–6.0 × 4.0–4.5 μm. Colour photographs basidiomata illustrations anatomical characters are provided, along with phylogenetic trees genus suborder Pluteineae (where family Volvariellaceae nested)....
Hymenagaricus has small to medium-sized mushrooms and the cap surface with squamulose pellicles, consisting of hymeniform or pseudoparenchymatous cells yellowish-brown basidiospores. The species are very similar those Xanthagaricus it is extremely difficult differentiate both genera in field. However, phylogenetically, clearly distinct. In this study, we describe two new , i.e. H. wadijarzeezicus parvulus from southern part Oman. Species descriptions based on a combination morphological...
Fungal Systematics and Evolution (FUSE) is one of the journal series to address “fusion” between morphological data and molecular phylogenetic describe new fungal taxa interesting observations. This paper 6th contribution in the FUSE series—presenting genus, twelve species, country records, three combinations. The new genus is: Pseudozeugandromyces (Laboulbeniomycetes, Laboulbeniales). The species are: Albatrellopsis flettioides from Pakistan, Aureoboletus garciae from Mexico,...
The large genus Leucoagaricus (Basidiomycota) is poorly studied in Pakistan, where the northern parts of country are considered hot spots for biodiversity. Based on morphological and molecular data, five new species described: badius, L. lahorensiformis, pakistaniensis, sultanii, umbonatus. Descriptions illustrations given taxa. A phylogeny based morphology four DNA regions, including internal transcribed spacers (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS) D1-D2 domains 28S gene nuc rDNA, RNA polymerase II...
Tulostoma ahmadii, a new species found in the subtropical pine forest of Malakand, Pakistan, is described and illustrated. It characterized by parallel to squamulose deep reddish brown scales on stipe with bulbous base, warty exoperidium, tubular relatively large-sized basidiospores. Macro- microscopic features along sequence data demonstrated that ahmadii distinct from other members Tulostoma. T. Squamosum, which represented here as record for country, has also been molecular basis.
Mushrooms with a thin-fleshed pileus that becomes plicate on opening, deliquescent lamellae and dark brown to blackish basidiospores are commonly called coprinoid mushrooms. The genus Coprinellus is one of the important lineages mushroom in family Psathyrellaceae. Species-level taxonomy based mainly presence or absence structure veil cystidia pileus, basidiospore morphology. In this study, four new species (Co.campanulatus, Co.disseminatus-similis, Co.pakistanicus Co.tenuis) described from...
Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) exhibits notable heterogeneity in clinical presentations and treatment responses, posing challenges predicting outcomes tailoring therapeutic strategies for affected patients. Despite advancements molecular subtyping prognostic assessment, uncertainties persist regarding the optimal management of DLBCL, highlighting need localized investigations to better understand responses within specific patient populations. Objective To assess frequency...
is a genus with more than 500 species. Most of the new species reported since 2000 are tropical or subtropical. The study area, Malakand region, located in north Pakistan, has subtropical climate. In this study, nine species, including three
Leaf (brown) rust is the major disease of wheat in Pakistan and other countries. The more effectively controlled when several resistance genes are pyramided into a single line. Molecular survey was conducted to screen 25 germplasm for presence leaf gene Lr10 using specific STS primer. revealed that out germplasm/lines grown Hazara University Botanic garden, 18 genotypes were observed with Lr10 gene, while seven did not show of Lr10 gene. identification...
This study was conducted to investigate the antagonistic potential of endophytic and rhizospheric bacterial isolates obtained from Citrullus colocynthis in suppressing Fusarium solani Pythium aphanidermatum promoting growth cucumber. Molecular identification strains associated with C. confirmed that these belong Achromobacter, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Sphingobacterium, Bacillus, Sinorhizobium, Staphylococcus, Cupriavidus, Exiguobacterium genera. A dual culture assay showed nine...
Agaricus is a genus of saprophytic fungi in the Basidiomycota. As part ongoing studies on Pakistan, we here describe and discuss two new species, A. pakistanicus sp. nov. sparsisquamosus Morphological characters phylogenetic analysis ITS sequences were used to clarify their taxonomic affinities. Phylogenetic indicated that both species belong sect. Brunneopicti. This palaeotropical section, which has been recently reconstructed, reported Pakistan for first time. Interestingly, these exhibit...
A new species in the genus Russula from mixed coniferous forest of District Shangla, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan is described and illustrated. Phylogenetic data derived DNA sequences nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), along with morphological characterizations, indicate novel.Russula shanglaensis sp. nov. distinct other known subsect. Virescentinae. It characterized by convex to slightly depressed grayish pilei that often reflect rusty brown light purplish spots, very...
Parasola is a genus of small, veil-less coprinoid mushrooms in the family Psathyrellaceae (Agaricales). The not well documented Asia, specifically Pakistan. In this study we describe two new species Parasolaglabra and P.pseudolactea from Pakistan, based on morphological molecular data. Phylogeny three DNA regions: nuc rDNA region encompassing internal transcribed spacers 1 2 along with 5.8S (ITS), 28S D1-D2 domains (28S) translation elongation factor α gene ( TEF1α ) show that taxa are...
The genus Micropsalliota is a group of saprotrophic mushrooms, characterized by small to medium-sized basidiomata with fibrillose-squamulose or glabrous pilei, ellipsoid amygdaliform cymbiform basidiospores and cheilocystidia that vary in shape from clavate ventricose lageniform more less capitate apex. In this study, we described new species southern Oman. Species description based on morphological features phylogenetic analyses nuc ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) D1–D2...
