Abstract

In order to identify fungi associated with canker and leaf spot symptoms of plants, the gardens and forests of Alborz and Guilan provinces were surveyed and infected plant samples were collected from kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), grapevine (Vitis vinifera) and linden (Tilia cordata) trees, during the summer and autumn of 2020. After isolation and purification of fungal strains, morphological and molecular identification were performed using the sequences of ITS rDNA region. Based on combined data, finally, five fungal species belonging to the class Dothideomycetes including Neosetophoma guiyangensis from hawthorn and Scolecobasidium cordanae from linden and the class Sordariomycetes including Corynascus sepedonium from grapevine, Harzia palmara from kiwifruit and Sordaria arctica from hawthorn were identified and reported. In the present study, all identified taxa except C. sepedonium, are new for the funga of Iran. Also, kiwifruit, hawthorn, grapevine and linden trees are reported as new hosts (matrix nova) for respective fungal taxa in the world.

Abstract [Persian]

به منظور شناسایی برخی قارچ­های همراه با علایم شانکر و لکه‌برگی، طی فصول تابستان و پاییز سال 1399، از باغ‌ها و جنگل‌های استان‌های البرز و گیلان بازدید به عمل آمد و از درختان کیوی (Actinidia deliciosa)، زالزالک (Crataegus monogyna)، مو (Vitis vinifera) و نمدار (Tilia cordata)، دارای علایم شانکر و لکه‌برگی نمونه‌برداری انجام گرفت. پس از جداسازی و خالص‌سازی جدایه‌های قارچی، شناسایی گونه‌های قارچی براساس ویژگی‌های ریخت‌شناختی و مولکولی آرایه­ها با استفاده از توالی‌یابی نواحی ژنومی آی.تی.اس انجام گرفت. براساس تلفیق داده­های حاصل، در نهایت، پنج گونه قارچی متعلق به دو رده Dothideomycetes شامل گونه‌های Neosetophoma guiyangensis از درخت
زالزالک و Scolecobasidium cordanae از درخت نمدار و رده Sordariomycetes شامل گونه‌های Corynascus sepedonium از درخت مو،
Harzia palmara از درخت کیوی و Sordaria arctica از درخت زالزالک شناسایی و معرفی می­شوند. در تحقیق حاضر، تمام آرایه­های شناسایی شده به جز C. sepedonium، برای فونگای ایران جدید هستند. همچنین، درختان کیوی، زالزالک، مو و نمدار به عنوان میزبان جدید برای آرایه‌های قارچی مربوطه در دنیا گزارش می­شوند.
