Isolation, purification and identification of three diatom species (Bacillariophyceae) from Gomishan wetland (N. Iran) using phylogeny and silica cell wall ultra-structure analysis (original) (raw)

Study on the genus Phyllosticta (Ascomycota: Phyllostictaceae) from Guilan province (N. Iran)

2016

Species of Phyllosticta are important group of pathogenic and endophytic fungi that are reported from various crop plants, ornamental and non-fruiting plants. These fungi cause several diseases such as leaf and fruit spots and fruit rot. In order to identify Phyllosticta species in Guilan province, several collections were examined around the region. Altogether 14 taxa were isolated from different plant species. Plant species viz. Prunus laurocerasus, Danae racemosa, Aesculus carnea, Camellia japonica, Citrus sinensis, Rubus sp., Schefflera sp., Diospyros kaki and Ginkgo biloba are recorded as new host for Phyllosticta spp. in Iran. Magnolia soulangeana, Camellia sinensis, Citrus limetta and Rosa sp. are also reported as host plants of Phyllosticta species in this province. Precise recognition of Phyllosticta sp. needs both morphological and molecular studies. Hence, in this study P. theacearum was distincly identified; one collection on Citrus sp. was closely related to P. citricar...

Isolation, morphological and molecular identification of Dunaliella species in Hoz-e Soltan and Aran-va-Bidgol salt Lakes (Iran)

2016

In this study, Dunaliella has been isolated in Jun. 2014 from Hoz-e Soltan and Aran-va-Bidgol salt Lakes (Iran). The isolates have been identified morphologically with the aid of simple light and invert microscope after isolation and purification on their specific medium (Moh202). By using molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and amplification of 18S rDNA gene primers, further identification was done and morphological identification were confirmed. The isolation and molecular identification of the Dunaliella species from above-mentioned lakes revealed that, at least two species of Dunaliella, namely, D. parva and D. viridis exist in the studied area.

The study of factors affecting the vegetation in aquatic and wet habitats of Boujagh National Park, Kiashahr, Guilan Province, Iran

Nova Biologica Reperta, 2015

Boujagh National Park, with water ecosystems including Boujagh and Kiashahr wetlands, has an area of approximately 3477.3 hectares. In order to study factors affecting the vegetation in aquatic and wet habitats, 44 releves were implemented in the region. To test the chemical properties of the available water, samples were collected from 22 releves. The results of a two-way species indicator analysis of the modified TWINSPAN suggested that four groups of plants were present in the region. The first group being floating, immersed and submerged and the third and fourth groups being mostly helophytic. The second group of plants grows in areas with sand and mud. The results of comparative DCA analysis of water factors (PH, Depth, P, N, Cl, CO 3 , Hco 3 , EC, Na, K) showed a significant correlation between the factors and plant groups and the most important factors influencing the distribution and separation of plants was found to be water depth. In addition, Boujagh and Kiashahr wetlands vegetation map, based on the plant groups, was also prepared.

Three new Fusarium taxa isolated from gramineous plants in Iran

Rostaniha, 2010

In the course of a survey during growing seasons of 2002-04, various fields and pastures in 23 Iranian provinces were sampled. Some 1200 isolates of Fusarium from root, crown, stem and spike of various plants belonging to the family Poaceae were recovered using Nash-Snyder selective medium and purified on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Based on morphological characters, 35 Fusarium species were identified using PDA, SNA, KCl+WA and CLA media. Sporulation was encouraged using near UV light and darkness of 12h at 22-25˚ C. Among the species identified, Fusarium verticillioides and F. nygamai recovered from wheat, maize, rice and sugarcane had higher frequencies of 13.5 and 9%, respectively. Fusarium graminum and F. poae isolated from wheat, barley, rice, aegilops and oat had the lowest frequencies of 0.17 and 0.083%, respectively. F. heterosporum, F. pallidoroseum, F. pseudonygamai and F. sacchari from Poaceae are new taxa to the mycoflora of Iran.

In this study, topographic, climatic and soil characteristics were investigated in habitats of these species. Also, coverage, height density and phenology of the study species were determined by using 10 plots in each area with random method during 2013 and 2014. The habitat of A. gilliatii is very limited in the southern slopes of ...

Horizontal array study and plant cover zonation of Choghakhor wetland (W Iran)

2011

For studying vegetation cover in Choghakhor wetland located in Chaharmahal-o-Bakhtiari province (W Iran), some zones of vegetation life forms were determined and also digitized in order to produce the primary map of plant cover by using LISS-IV sensor of IRS satellite with the spatial resolution of 5.8 m. As aquatic plants in Choghakhor wetland were fully grown, homogeneity or heterogeneity of vegetation units and their zones were measured based on quantitative characteristics of plants communities. Vegetation sites were evaluated from shore to water body by linear transects and sampled quantitative characteristics in 1 × 1 m quadrates at 10 and 20 m intervals. Frequency Presence Diagram was used in order to recognizing of zoning and horizontal array of wetland plants. Summing of species array based on water depth and dominated planttypes were shown that wetland vegetation cover is distinguished to two main zones and one transitional zone.

Distribution survey and some biological aspects of Water Hyacinth in Anzali Wetland, Guilan province

Zīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2019

Water Hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes is one of the world's worst weeds. It originates from Amazonia and be invader to other areas in the worldwide. It has recently been detected in several natural areas of northern part of Iran such as Anzali Wetland. Here, distribution of Water Hyacinth was studied in Anzali Wetland during 2015-2018. Also some biological characteristic including; evapotranspirative water losses, surveillance against salinity gradients and nutrient effect on biomass production of root and green parts were investigated. Water Hyacinth infestation was observed from 7 to 84 points of Anzali Wetland with 100 to 1000 m2 in different years. The distribution of Water Hyacinth was limited in summer of 2017 because of a prolonged temperatures below freezing winter. The seed was germinated in study area after two years. The water losses were estimated up to 2.5 times more from Water Hyacinth compared to open water. While the mortality of Water Hyacinth was observed in sal...

Genomic structure of Burkholderia mallei Razi 325, the strain used for industrial production of Mallein in Iran

مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2016

Background and Objective: Iran remains a major stronghold for glanders in the Middle East. In Iran, the non-indigenous Burkholderia mallei Razi 325 strain is used in manufacturing of the mallein, required for malleination of animals. Multi Locus Variable number tandem repeat analysis is currently the standard globally accepted genotyping system for Burkholderia mallei. This study was done to survey the genomic structure of Burkholderia mallei Razi 325, the strain used for industrial production of Mallein. Methods: In this descriptive study, a MLVA genotyping system with 4 previously-characterized loci VNTR140, VNTR1367, VNTR2065, VNTR2971 along with two new loci of VNTR24, VNTR41 was used. Results: Optimization of PCRs resulted in a single protocol that enabled simultaneous amplification of all the six loci. Sequencing of PCR products revealed there were 2, 3, 12, 6, 1 and 2 copies of the unit repeat hold in the genome of the Burkholderia mallei Razi 325 strain. This observation was...
