We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota, the largest phylum Fungi. This analysis is most taxonomically complete to date with species sampled from all 15 currently circumscribed classes. A number superclass-level nodes that have previously evaded resolution and were unnamed in classifications Fungi are resolved for first time. Based on 6-gene we conducted phylogenetic informativeness 6 genes series ancestral character state reconstructions focused...
Aflatoxins and ochratoxins are among the most important mycotoxins of all producers both types present in
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia: Apiognomonia lasiopetali on Lasiopetalum sp., Blastacervulus eucalyptorum Eucalyptus adesmophloia, Bullanockia australis (incl. gen. nov.) Kingia australis, Caliciopsis eucalypti marginata, Celerioriella petrophiles Petrophile teretifolia, Coleophoma xanthosiae Xanthosia rotundifolia, Coniothyrium hakeae Hakea Diatrypella banksiae Banksia formosa, Disculoides corymbiae Corymbia...
The phylogeny of the genera Periconiella, Ramichloridium, Rhinocladiella and Veronaea was explored by means partial sequences 28S (LSU) rRNA gene ITS region (ITS1, 5.8S rDNA ITS2). Based on LSU sequence data, ramichloridium-like species segregate into eight distinct clusters. These include Capnodiales (Mycosphaerellaceae Teratosphaeriaceae), Chaetothyriales (Herpotrichiellaceae), Pleosporales, five ascomycete clades with uncertain affinities. type R. apiculatum, together musae,...
Members of the genus Neocamarosporium are known from diverse ecological niches, mainly as endophytes, saprobes, or pathogens on halophytes in saline environments. During our survey biodiversity fungal species inhabiting halophyte plants growing Shadegan International Wetland (southwest Iran), we obtained three isolates Suaeda vermiculata and Halocnemum strobilaceum. Two new species, viz. N. halocnemi suaedae, described illustrated based molecular morphological data. In phylogenetic tree,...
Three species of Mycosphaerella, namely M. eumusae, fijiensis, and musicola are involved in the Sigatoka disease complex bananas.Besides these three primary pathogens, several additional Mycosphaerella or their anamorphs have been described from Musa.However, very little is known about taxa, for majority no culture DNA available study.In present study, we collected a global set strains banana, compared them by means morphology multi-gene nucleotide sequence data set.The phylogeny inferred...
ABSTRACT The Sigatoka disease complex of banana involves three related ascomycetous fungi, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, M. musicola, and eumusae. exact distribution these species their epidemiology remain unclear, because symptoms life cycles are rather similar. Disease diagnosis in the is based on presence host fungal fruiting structures, which hamper preventive management strategies. In present study, we have developed rapid robust species-specific molecular-based diagnostic tools for...
The genus Cercospora includes many important plant pathogenic fungi associated with leaf spot diseases on a wide range of hosts. mainland Iran covers various climatic regions great biodiversity vascular plants, and correspondingly high diversity cercosporoid fungi. However, most the species found to date have been identified basis morphological characteristics there are no cultures that support these identifications. In this study Consolidated Species Concept was applied differentiate...
The genus Cercospora includes many important plant pathogens that are commonly associated with leaf spot diseases on a wide range of cultivated and wild species. Due to the lack useful morphological features high levels intraspecific variation, host association has long been decisive criterion for species delimitation in Cercospora. Because several taxa have broader ranges, reliance data taxonomy proven problematic. Recent studies revealed multi-gene DNA sequence be highly informative...
The tomato leaf miner (TLM), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is an invasive pest found worldwide. Sustainable control strategies aimed at increasing biological approaches and decreasing chemical inputs are required, due to the tendency develop insecticide resistance. In this study, lethal sublethal effects of four insecticides (abamectin, indoxacarb, chlorantraniliprole, spinosad) entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) on a widespread TLM egg parasitoid, Trichogramma...
Species of Pseudocercospora have gained much attention in recent years owing to their phytopathogenic relevance, and worldwide occurrence on a wide range economically important hosts. Although these fungi are common Iran, they generally been poorly studied no cultures preserved for molecular analyses. The present paper represents the first study species from Iran evaluated by employing Consolidated Concept. Nineteen isolates were obtained seven host plant families northern zone Iran. A...

Cercospora (Mycosphaerellaceae) is a large genus of fungi comprising many important plant pathogens. In recent years DNA-based studies have revealed multiple genera cercosporoid being poly- and paraphyletic. Among these genera, the has always been perceived as monophyletic. present study, phylogenetic inferences based on partial gene sequences LSU, ITS, ACT, TEF1-α HIS loci, elucidated cercospora-like taxon from Ammi majus to cluster in clade apart s. str. spite numerous spp. presently known...
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the serious pests tomatoes. This study was conducted to evaluate effects some chemical and biological insecticides on T. absoluta. The tested were diazinon, dichlorvos, chlorantraniliprole, deltamethrin, acetamiprid, imidacloprid, spinosad, abamectin, indoxacarb, Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin. Sublethal for most effective tested, namely, indoxacarb assessed, life table...
ABSTRACT The devastating Sigatoka disease complex of banana is primarily caused by three closely related heterothallic fungi belonging to the genus Mycosphaerella : M. fijiensis , musicola and eumusae . Previous phylogenetic work showing common ancestry led us analyze mating-type loci these species occurring on banana. We reasoned that this might provide better insight into evolutionary history species. PCR chromosome-walking approaches were used clone Sequences compared published other...
The diversity and prevalence of Fusarium species their chemotypes on wheat in the North-West North Iran was determined. Wheat these areas is severely affected by head blight, with graminearum as prevalent causing 96% infections 50% Northern provinces. Fungal isolates were identified based morphological characters sequences internal transcribed spacer region, parts translation elongation factor 1-? RNA polymerase subunit II sequences. Phylogenetic phylogeographic analyses show little...
