Societal Impact Statement Research and publication of the planet's remaining plant fungal species as yet unknown to science is essential if we are address United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 “Life on Land” which includes protection terrestrial ecosystems halting biodiversity loss. If not known science, they cannot be assessed International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) Red List Threatened Species so possibility protect them from extinction reduced. Furthermore, until...
Central Asia, located at the heart of Eurasia, is renowned for its varied climate and vertical vegetative distribution, which support diverse biomes position it as a global biodiversity hotspot. Despite this ecological richness, Asia’s fungal diversity, particularly wood-inhabiting macrofungi, remains largely unexplored. This study investigates roles, potential distribution poroid Hymenochaetoid fungi in region. By conducting field surveys, collecting basidiomes, reviewing literature...
The aim of the study was to visualize micromorphology Amaranthaceous pollen using scanning electron microscopy collected from Thal Desert. Field collection conducted July September 2021. A total 14 taxa family Amaranthaceae were which belong nine genera. Achyranthes aspera, Aerva javanica, lanata, Amaranthus graecizans, retroflexus, viridis, Bassia indica, Chenopodium album, ficifolium, murale, Digera muricata, Haloxylon stocksii, Salsola tragus, and Suaeda fruticosa studied in terms...
Despite its millennial existence and empirical documentation, the ethnological knowledge of herbs is a more recent phenomenon. The their historical uses as food, medicine, source income small-scale businesses, sociological impacts are threatened due to slow ethnobotanical research drive. Species genus Solanum have long been extensively used in folk medicine treat various illnesses humans since dawn civilization. All data were systematically obtained from papers, monographs, books written...
Uzbekistan, located in Central Asia, harbors high diversity of woody plants. Diversity wood-inhabiting fungi the country, however, remained poorly known. This study summarizes basidiomycte (poroid and corticoid plus similar taxa such as Merismodes, Phellodon , Sarcodon ) (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) that have been found Uzbekistan from 1950 to 2020. work is based on 790 fungal occurrence records: 185 recently collected specimens, 101 herbarium specimens made by earlier collectors, 504...
This is the tenth of series Mycosphere Notes, wherein we present newly discovered saprobic and endophytic fungi isolated from various hosts in China, Thailand, Uzbekistan.In this compilation, introduce three new genera, viz., Conicotenuis (Phomatosporaceae), Irregularispora (Stictidaceae) Minimispora 14 species, Clonostachys artemisiae (Bionectriaceae), fusiformis olivacea (Stictidaceae), Melomastia loropetalicola (Pleurotremataceae), superficialis Montagnula agaves (Didymosphaeriaceae),...
A concatenated dataset of LSU, SSU, ITS and tef1 DNA sequence data was analysed to investigate the taxonomic position phylogenetic relationships genus Camarosporium in Pleosporineae (Dothideomycetes). Newly generated sequences from camarosporium-like taxa collected Europe (Italy) Russia form a well-supported monophyletic clade within Pleosporineae. new Camarosporidiella family Camarosporidiellaceae are established accommodate these taxa. Four species, Neocamarosporium korfii, N. lamiacearum,...
This study applied various chromatographic methods to assess the chemical composition of five selected perennial and annual wheat seed varieties cultivated in Kazakhstan. Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis revealed distinct fatty acid profiles, with perennial, soft, durum seeds displaying varying levels saturated acids (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) (SFA: 10.538 − 19.676%, MUFA: 17.124 23.131%, PUFA: 58.649 66.938%). HPLC uncovered significant differences content total...
Laburnicola is a genus in Didymosphaeriaceae that includes saprobic and endophytic fungal taxa. The current study conducted the subalpine region of Uzbekistan discovered new species on dead stem wild rose plant. Maximum likelihood Bayesian analyses combined LSU, SSU, ITS, TEF 1-ɑ dataset confirmed species’ taxonomic position Laburnicola. Our species, zaaminensis (TASM 6152), was clustered with L. dactylidis (MFLUCC 16-0285) strong bootstrap support. A detailed description together...
This is the seventh in a series of Mycosphere notes which we provide on collection fungi isolated from various hosts.In this set notes, introduce Pseudophialocephala as new genus, nine species, 27 host or country records and five combinations.The species are Ceratosphaeria yunnanensis, Cytospora salicis-albae, Gymnopus bunerensis, Kalmusia cordylines, Leucoagaricus croceus, laosensis, Neopyrenochaeta shaoguanica, cuneata Robillarda aquatica.Pseudophialocephala humicola, aquatica, salinicola,...
