A new hyphomycete genus and species, Brykendrickia catenata, collected on decaying culms of bamboo species from Indian forests, is described and illustrated. Brykendrickia catenata is the type species for a new monotypic genus possessing sporodochial conidiomata. Conidiogenous cells are...

Two new anamorphic fungi, Globoramichloridium delicatum and Heteroconium simile, collected from dead branches of unidentified broadleaf trees in Jiangxi Province, China, are described and illustrated. Globoramichloridium delicatum is characterized by unicellular, subglobose to narrow subnapiform,...

Eucommia ulmoides is a rare tree species in China with high medicinal and gum value. Nine strains of hyphomycetous fungi were isolated from the leaf litter of E. ulmoides in Guizhou Province. Preliminary identifications based on ITS indicated that they belong to the genus Cladosporium. Morphology...

We report the results of a histological study of lung samples where an unusual quantity of airborne pollen and fungal spores was found in drowned rats. Pollen and spores were found in lungs of drowned rats but not in the post-mortem submerged ones. Another control group consisting of rats that...

Alterations in water relations, growth, and histopathology caused by M. phaseolina, causal agent of charcoal rot, and drought stress were characterized in P. vulgaris under controlled conditions. P. vulgaris cultivars BAT 477 and TLP 19 (resistant) and Pinto UI-114 and Rio Tibagi (susceptible) were ...

The paper presents results of pollen analysis of the Upper Miocene deposits from a borehole at Józefina (Kraków-Silesia Upland, central Poland), including data concerning bamboo type pollen grains, as well other sporomorphs (pollen, spores and freshwater phytoplankton). Fossil pollen grains of...

This book, which covers various aspects of fungal diversity, phylogeny, taxonomy and ecology, contains 18 chapters with the following headings: biodiversity of fungi and its relevance to man; fungal phylogeny based on complete mitochondrial genome sequences; fungi from slightly explored and extreme ...

Internal bark necrosis (IBN) on apple trees first occurred in Japan and America, it was also called "rough bark disease of apple trees" in Japan. Such disorder appeared in Jiaodong and Liaodong peninsula in recent years, and the infected area expanded. Because little was known about IBN, farmers...

Bactrodesmium gabretae is described as a new species of hyphomycetes, based on morphological and molecular data. Bactrodesmium gabretae was isolated from prematurely fallen needles of Picea abies in the Bohemian Forest National Park, Czech Republic. It is characterised by whitish colonies, black...

Sporothrix, one of the anamorph genera of Ophiostoma, includes the important human pathogen 5. schenckii and various fungi associated with insects and sap stain of wood. A survey of fungi from wood utility poles in South Africa yielded two distinct groups of Sporothrix isolates from different...
