Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia , Aschersonia mackerrasiae on whitefly, Cladosporium corticola bark Melaleuca quinquenervia Penicillium nudgee soil under Pseudocercospora blackwoodiae leaf spot Persoonia falcata and dalyelliae Senna alata . Bolivia Aspicilia lutzoniana fully submersed siliceous schist high-mountain streams, Niesslia parviseta the lower part apothecial discs Erioderma barbellatum onatwig. Brazil Cyathus...
Bipolaris species exhibit various ecological roles, including plant pathogens, epiphytes, saprophytes, or endophytes, primarily associated with poaceous hosts, cultivated cereals. Iran is known for its diverse climates and rich flora, which serve as a hotspot fungal diversity. In this study, to determine the diversity of members Poales Asparagales orders, samples leaf stem lesion symptoms were collected from these plants across locations in between 2010 2022. Based on morphological...
Curvularia species exhibit a wide range of ecological roles, including plant, animal, or human pathogens, as well epiphytes, saprophytes, endophytes, predominantly associated with cultivated cereals. In this study, several fungal isolates similar characteristics in the genus were recovered from various poaceous hosts (Poales plants) different locations Iran during 2012‒2022. Based on morphological and multilocus phylogeny translation elongation factor-1 alpha (TEF1),...
Alternaria includes endophytes, saprophytes, and pathogens affecting both plants animals, with a global distribution across various hosts substrates. It is categorized into 29 sections, each defined by type species six monophyletic lineages. The section Nimbya comprises 10 primarily associated the families Juncaceae Cyperaceae, functioning as either saprophytes or plant pathogens. In this study, 189 fungal strains were collected from multiple locations provinces in Iran. isolates initially...
Stemphylium species are saprophytes, or plant pathogens mostly associated with economically important crops. In this study, we isolated strains from grey to brown lesions on the culms of Schoenoplectus sp. (Cyperaceae, Poales). Based combined morphological characteristics and sequence data internal transcribed spacer (ITS‒rDNA) region, parts glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh) calmodulin (cmdA) genes, studied were identified described herein as a new species, S. persianum. The...
