        Background and Objective: Nowadays, heavy metal pollution has become a serious environmental problem. To protect the environment, one of the effective and low-cost methods is phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to remove, reduce and stabilize pollutants. In this regard, the use of fungi that symbiosis with plants, can increase the efficiency of phytoremediation, reduce the time required to remove contamination, and develop its application. Material and Methodology: This experiment was performed in order to investigate the traffic and symbiosis interaction’s effects on lead and cadmium accumulation in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). The experiment donen in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and three factors as factorial. The first factor includes mycorrhiza symbiosis (control and inoculation), the second factor was traffic (Control, 120, 300, 600, 950, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3000, 3600, and 4200 cars per hour) and the third factor was the type of pot (Controls and pots where the soil surface is covered except at the place of seedlings) with three replications in 2019-2020 in Shiraz metropolis. In the experiment some properties were investigated such as root weight, soil cadmium, shoot cadmium, root cadmium, stem length, main root length, plant dry weight, root lead, cadmium, and lead transfer factors. Findings: The results of mean comparisons showed that inoculation of plants with mycorrhizal fungi )Glomus mossea (had higher lead content of root tissue than shoots and soil in 4200 cars per hour compared to the control. Symbiosis with mycorrhiza fungi increased root weight and plant dry weight, stem length, and main root length compared to the control by 23.93, 18.97, 0.82 and 30.87% in 4200 car traffic per hour, respectively. The results also showed that the treatment of closed pots and inoculation of mycorrhizal fungi increased the growth parameters and decreased cadmium and lead. Discussion and Conclusion: The reduction of cadmium and lead concentrations in the inoculated rosemary with Glomus mosses indicates that Rosmarinus officinalis L. can grow in soils contaminated with cadmium and lead. Also, the symbiosis of mycorrhizae increases th ability of rosemary. Manuscript profile

        The devaluation of money is one of the challenging legal concepts of jurisprudence. Existing theories presented for the money with its past nature do not meet the real needs of the situation. Falling into disagreement with the nature of money causes the To unravel the nature of money throughout history, different views have been offered as to the necessity or necessity of compensating for the devaluation of money. However, the question arises whether in long-term monetary debt, and Should the nominal value of the banknote be calculated at the time of the religion if the value of the currency has decreased, or if the exchange-value is required Consider the borrowed money? The answer to this important question, on the one hand, requires careful examination of the dimensions of the issue of credit money, and on the other hand, requires convincing jurisprudential evidence. The hypothesis proved in this article is Because what makes them attractive in credit money is the power to buy and exchange money, not face value, and pay the same attention to religion and jurisprudence to compensate for the devaluation of money. This research is completely descriptive-analytical and with data gathering from library sources. The legal and jurisprudential authorities have tried to clarify the hidden and invisible aspects of the aforementioned problem. Manuscript profile

        Objectives: Study of antimicrobial effects of aqueous and methanolic extracts of vegetative and reproductive structures of A. Chamaecistus and A. austro-iranica on several fungi and bacteria Materials and Methods: Aquatic and methanolic extracts prepared from Ajuga Chamaecistus, A. austro-iranica were tested for antibacterial activity against gram positive (Satphyloccocus aureous and Streptococus pyogenes) and gram negative (Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Proteus vulgaris) bacteria and Aspergillus niger and fusarium solani. The vegetative and generative shoots of plants were powdered, sterilized, and extracted at 4°C with methanol and water. The concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 mgml-1 of methanolic and aquatic extracts were used to detect the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). All experiments were tested three times. The antibacterial effects were evaluated using the cup-plate and antifugal activity using cup-plate and pour plate Results: The antibacterial effect of aqueous extracts showed that only the leaf extract (vegetative extract) of A. chamaecistus is effective on S. aureus showing that in gram-negative bacteria, the presence of a lipopolysaccharide wall causes greater resistance. Methanolic extracts of both species were more active than aqueous extracts and had antimicrobial effects on all tested bacteria as well as A. niger. In both species, the extracts of the generative parts showed a stronger antifungal effect. In different species of this genus, the presence of phenolic compounds, tannins and terpenoids that have antimicrobial properties confirms the antimicrobial properties of this species. However, the amount of their effect depends on plant and microbe species, the tested parts (plant organs), the extracts concentration, the sampling season, the sample age and soil type.     Manuscript profile

        Objective: Mashhad is the most important city in the country due to its tourist and pilgrimage attractions, and ensuring the safety of its drinking water is very important, especially for travelers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the microbial quality of drinking water in MashhadMaterials and methods: This is a field research and a cross-sectional study. Sampling locations were determined by systematic sampling method. The drinking water of 15 selected stations was studied during 10 months from February 2019 to the end of December 2011. Each station was sampled 4 times in 4 different seasons. The samples were studied in three parts of bacterial, fungal and protozoan contamination assessment, according to existing standards.Findings: The microbial quality of Mashhad's drinking water supply sources was very favorable in terms of total and faecal coliform contamination and was in line with the national standard. From a total of 220 fungal colonies grown, 7 different genera of fungi were identified. In general, the average CFU of isolated fungi for samplesper 100 ml of water was 6.2.The most common isolated fungus was Aspergillus (40.45%) and the least isolated colony was related to Fusarium (1.3%). No samples of protozoans or cysts related to protozoans were observed in any station.Conclusion: According to the guidelines of the World Health Organization in 2006 for evaluating the microbial health of water, the drinking water quality of Mashhad was in accordance with the national standard. Mashhad's drinking water also contains various fungi. Therefore, it is suggested that in the regular monitoring of the urban water system in terms of microbial contamination, fungi should also be investigated as one of the important microorganisms. Regarding contamination with protozoa, no contamination was observed. In order to maintain the desirability of drinking water in Mashhad city, it is suggested that the water and sewage company continuously monitor the quality of drinking water sources.  Manuscript profile

        AbstractThe use of soil fungi such as Fusarium is one of the strategies for controlling and managing parasitic plants. Accordingly, in order to evaluate the pathogenic potential, Fusariumoxysporum was isolated from the stems of infected plants of Phelipancheaegyptiaca and after identification, it was tested in a greenhouse using two treatments inoculated with fungal suspension. F. oxysporum and control treatment (no inoculation) were performed. In the inoculated treatment, fungal suspension with a concentration of 107 × 5 spores per ml, at a rate of 50 ml per pot and in the control treatment, tap water was used. Studied traits were including total number of parasite stems, number of parasite stems removed, number of diseased and dead parasite stems, number of healthy parasite stems, and number of flowering stems, number of parasite stems per plant, stem height of the parasite and the dry weight of Egyptian broomrape and tomato plants. The results of comparing the mean of the two treatments with t-test showed a significant difference in the dry weight of broomrape and tomato so that the mean dry weight of broomrape in the treatment inoculated with F. oxysporum (6 g), compared to the control treatment (16.84 g), was 2.8 times lower. Also, the highest dry weight of tomato (36.43 g) was observed in the inoculated treatment with F. oxysporum, which increased by 44.27% compared to the control with 25.25 g. In the host range test, none of the tested plants showed signs of persistent infection, including permanent wilting and necrosis. In general, the use of this fungus in the biological control of Egyptian broomrape could have an effect on all studied traits, reduce the dry weight of Egyptian broomrape and increase the dry matter of tomato.

        Rice blast disease caused by Pyricularia oryzae Cavara is considered the most damaging disease of native rice cultivars in the north of Iran, so its chemical management has a special priority. In this study, the efficacy of 0.5, 1, and 2 kg/ha of WELGRO® (34.5% Copper and 37.3% Zinc) in controlling rice blast disease in comparison with 0.5 kg/ha of Tricyclazole (75% WP) were evaluated in field conditions in a randomized complete block design with four replications, in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh and Rasht. For this purpose, Hashemi seedlings were transplanted at a distance of 20×20 cm in the 4×5 m plots. Treatments were applied at the first appearance of disease symptoms in the region for leaf blast and after heading for panicle blast. In the control treatments, water was sprayed. Leaf and panicle blast disease percentages were assessed seven days after the first spraying and one week before harvest, respectively. The results showed that the concentration of 2 kg/ha of WELGRO® compared to the control not only reduced leaf, node, neck, and panicle blast disease, 25.77, 24.22, 38.44, and 8.41% in Rasht and 58.70, 29.05, 43.11, and 43.15% in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, respectively, but also its efficacy in controlling blast disease and its yield and yield components was very close to that of Ticyclazole. It should be noted that the results of the present study were obtained in a situation where the severity of the blast disease in the experimental field was not in an outbreak state. If the disease is in epidemic conditions, not only the use of 2 kg/ha WELGRO®, but also the 0.5 kg/ha tricyclazole is not efficient for blast disease control. If a rice blast epidemic is not predicted, the use of WELGRO® in rotation with other fungicides can control the disease, delay fungicide resistance, and also it can be used in organic rice production.

        This study was carried out in order to investigate the possibility of  controlling seed-born disease of wheat Chamran cultivar by  nano silver seed coating and indicate relevant concentration of  nano silver on fungal seed-born of wheat at Khouzestan-Ramin Agricultural and Natural Resources University. Experiment was conducted in the form of completely randomized design with four replications and six treatments. Treatments included one level of disinfection by 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and five levels of seed coating by different concentration  of silver nano particle (S1 = 1.30, S2 = 4, S3 = 6.70, S4 = 9.3 and S5 = 2666 mg of silver nitrate solution). Results showed that there was a significant difference among disinfection levels (P≤0.01) for disease index. In comparison with sodium hypochlorite, the Disease Index was declined about 50% by S1 treatment. The most favorable effect on decreasing Disease Index was observed with S5 treatment where it dropped up to 75%. According to results the mean of mortal concentration of nano silver on dominant species (Aspergillus sp.,fusarium graminiarum, Penicilium sp ., Torula sp.,  Alternaria alternaria) was calculated using Fini method in order to approach the finest concentration. The maximum LC50 was obtained for Torula sp. 1875.6 ml/lit and the minimum 0.02 ml/lit was for Aspergillus sp. and Alternaria alternaria. Regarding to this point that fungal seed-borne are active on seed bed in the form of a band, for approach to efficient disinfection it is essential to use the maximum needed concentration.  Manuscript profile

In this manscript, the effects of green chitting and or disinfection of potato seed tubers and soil were considered on this disease in the fields. The laboratory trails on R. solani isolates indicated that, almost all the sclerotinia are pathogenic. The seed tubers of four potato cultivars were selected and kept under room temperature along with normal light and high humidity for two months. Then, they were sown in the highly infested soil to the disease. The results indicated that the green chittings reduced Rhizoctonia stem canker severity effectively. In comparison to the above experiments, the fungicide screening, Rovral in the form of seed, soil and simultaneous seed and soil applications were carried out in the same fields. The results showed that the stem canker severity was reduced effectively compared to chittings and that of control. Increased growth response was observed in only green chitted potato seed tubers compared to other treatments.  Manuscript profile

        The effects of sub-lethal doses of the fungi, B.bassiana, B.brongniartii and M. anisopliae on feeding ability of the larvae of the date horned beetle and the indices of digestion, absorption and excretion of this pest were studied in laboratory condition. First, the sub-lethal doses of 50 and 90% of reducing power ability (EC50 and EC90) was calculated and then the physiological feeding indices including Relative Consumption Rate (RCR), Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food (ECI, Efficiency of Digested food (ECD), Approximate Digestibility (AD) were estimated. The results showed that the isolates of all three pathogenic fungi had a significant different high ability to reduce the feeding efficiency of the date- pest larvae. The highest and lowest abilities belonged to M. anisopliae and B. bassiana with the EC50 of 4.27×104 and 7.95×104 spores/ml, respectively. There was a significant difference between physiological feeding indices of the pest larvae when they were exposed to applied doses of spores. In all three pathogenic fungi species, increasing doses of spore decreased the values of MRG, ECI,ECD and AD, but increased the value of PCR. The highest of the regression lines of the indices on log scale of doses was recorded in M. anisopliae and then the two other species, B. brongniartii and B. bassiana. Manuscript profile

        This study evaluated the effects of Mycorrhiza (Rhizophagus irregularis), Trichoderma (Trichoderma harzianum) and selenium on some physiological traits of Gaviota strawberry as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications in the Shahed University, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences research greenhouse in 2017. The treatments included fungi (No inoculation, Mycorrhiza, Trichoderma) and selenium (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg soil). The results showed that the use of symbiotic fungi, especially Trichoderma, could significantly increase the pH, total soluble solids (TSS), antioxidant capacity and anthocyanin of the fruit, as well as increase the amount of protein, chlorophyll and carotenoid of Gaviota strawberry leaves. Furthermore, selenium treatment, especially at low concentrations (0.5 and 1 mg/kg soil), could increase the antioxidant and anthocyanin capacity of the fruit, as well as the amount of protein and chlorophyll in the leaves. Overall, it is possible to recommend the using of symbiotic fungi, especially Trichoderma, along with low concentrations of selenium (0.5 and 1 mg/kg soil) in Gaviota strawberry cultivation programs.

        The ever increasing population and global issue for food security have led us to use multiple approaches to overcome the weed problems that can reduce the crop productivity up to 70%. Chemical herbicides and mechanical and other biological approaches have overcome weed problem on one hand but also destroy the environment and caused some human health impacts on the other hand. Bioherbicides are biological control agents applied in similar ways to chemical herbicides to control weeds. Of the array of bioherbicides currently available, the most successful products appear to be sourced from fungi (mycoherbicides), with at least 16 products being developed for commercial use globally. Over the last few decades, bioherbicides sourced from bacteria and plant extracts (such as allelochemicals and essential oils), together with viruses, have also shown marked success in controlling various weeds. Despite this encouraging trend, ongoing research is still required for these compounds to be economically viable and successful in the long term. This review will explain the importance and impacts of the bioherbicides by elaborating the constraints which this approach is facing in its production and application. Manuscript profile

        Powdery mildew is a common and serious disease of cucurbit crops. For registering new environmentally friendly fungicides and with the aim to diversify the available fungicides, the efficacy of Mildew cure (a natural botanical fungicide) was evaluated by trials in completely randomized block design with five treatments and four replications in field and glasshouse conditions in Karaj during 2012-13. Treatments were 7.5, 10, and 15 mll-1 of Mildew cure L. 83% alongside with 0.2 gl-1 of Trifloxystrobin (Flint WG 50%) as standard fungicide and untreated control (without any spraying). Foliar applications of fungicides were made at 7 day intervals, started after early symptoms appearance and followed up until symptom expressed in untreated plants in a maximum disease severity index due to Horsfal and Barrat scale. The results were expressed as the foliage protection percentage (FPP) of each presumed area bypowdery mildew based on Horsfal and Barrat scale, then midpoint of presumed areas was calculated for each plot. Analysis of variance of trials data revealed that there are significant differences among different treatments at P<0.05 and P<0.01. Mean comparison of the treatment showed that Mildew cure 10 mll-1 decreased disease by 76.2% compared to untreated control plants in field and Mildew cure 7.5 mll-1 decreased disease incidence by 90% compared to non-sprayed check in glasshouse. Based on the results of this study, these treatments recommended for cucumber powdery mildew disease management. Manuscript profile

        Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Miller) is one of the most popular crops in the world. The cultivation of this plant is always exposed to harmful factors, especially blight caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, which in favorable environmental conditions (high humidity and temperature up to 15˚C) in cultivars and tomato hybrids are common. Fungicides can prevent disease by controlling germination and spore infiltration, but due to the pathogen's resistance to fungicides, it is necessary to alternate spraying programs with the appropriate doses and at the appropriate times. This study examined the effect of several fungicides on the pathogenic mycelial growth. For this purpose, various fungal isolates were collected from greenhouses and tomato farms. Purification and proof of pathogenicity and pathogenicity of fungal isolates were performed on disease-sensitive cultivars named PETOERLI with fungal spores suspension at 2 × 105 spores per ml on leaves in greenhouses. The severity of the disease index was determined after 15 days and to determine the effect of fungicides on mycelial growth, Captan, Ipirudion + Carbendazim, Thiram, Agrofar and Thiophanate -methyl fungicides were used at a rate of one per thousand in the culture medium. Among the used fungicides, Iprodione + Carbendazim with 89.5% inhibition and then Agrofar with 83.76% with a concentration of one per thousand were successful in controlling mycelial fungal growth control, respectively.

        Identification and epidemiological survey of fungal infections at the hatcheries has great importance for prevention of mortalities and subsequent economic losses. In this survey, 5 rainbow trout hatcheries in west Azarbaijan province were investigated. Sample collection was conducted according to standards of Iranianveterinary organization. Water quality of the hatcheries was investigated as well. SDA (sabouraud dextrose agar) medium was used for fungal culture and identification of fungal type was based on microscopic examination of fungal reproductive organs. Four different genera of saprophytic fungi consisting of Saprolegnia sp., Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp. and Achyla sp. were isolated from the 5 studied hatcheries. The genus Saprolegnia with 7.8±1.48% infection rate and Achyla with 0.8±0.83% infection rate had the highest and lowest prevalence respectively. Based on the results of this study, the sanitary conditions in hatcheries of west Azarbaijan province are not ideal with respect to fungal infections. Water quality of the hatcheries was acceptable therefore fungal infections are probably not associated with the water quality. Manuscript profile

           This study was conducted to identify the fungi isolated from conjunctival sac of clinically normal Persian Kurd horses of Tabriz, north western Iran and to determine the effect of sex and age variations on the frequency of isolates. Forty horses (17 females and 23 males), aged 2-30 years, without clinical evidence of external ocular inflammation were selected and divided into two age groups (less than 10 years and over 10 years). Samples were taken from both conjunctival sacs of horses and seeded on the sabouraud dextrose agar and malt extract agar. Plates were incubated at 25°C for 7 days. Data were analyzed by Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Kendall Tau tests using SAS 9.1. Filamentous fungi and yeasts comprised 82.35% and 17.65% of total isolates, respectively. The most frequent isolate was Aspergillus species (38.82 %) followed by Penicillium spp (14.12%), Fusarium spp (8.24%), Chladosporium, Mucor and Scopulariopsis spp (5.88%), Pseudallescheria, Rhodotorula and Trichoderma spp (1.18 %). Gender had a significant effect on frequency of fungal isolation (p<0.05). Isolation of fungi decreased with increasing age but there was no significant correlation between them (p= 0.064, r= - 0.225). In conclusion, the frequency of fungal species isolated from conjunctival sac of clinically normal Kurd horses was influenced by gender. Generally, the fungal species isolated in our study are comparable with similar studies performed on horses in other regions.   Manuscript profile

        Medicinal plants are a very rich source of antioxidant compounds. Endophytic fungi of medicinal plants, due to long-term coexistence with these plants produce plant secondary metabolites. Therefore, in this study, the antioxidant properties of endophytic fungi isolated from 7 medicinal plants of the Asteraceae family includeing Matricaria chamomilla, Anthemis triumfetii, Anthemis parthenium, Anthemis altissima var. Altissima, Achillea millefolium, Achillea filipendulina, Cichorium intybus was investigated. The samplings were done from healthy plants and free of any diseases from most areas of Golestan province during 2016 spring. After morphological and molecular identification of endophytic fungi, the antioxidant property of 37 species of endophytic fungi was evaluated by DPPH free radicals metod. Based on the results, a significant difference of 99% was observed between the antioxidant properties of endophytic fungi. The lowest (32.1% ) and highest (98.8%) antioxidant activity were related to the Stemphylium amaranthi and Trametes versicolor  fungi isolated from Anthemis triumfetii leaf and Achillea santolina stem tissues, respectively. In addition, the Schizophyllum commune with 98.8% antioxidant activity was placed in the same group with T. versicolor. The Cladioporium spp. such as Cladosporium cladosporioides and Cladosporium ramotenelum showed a high antioxidant activity of about 97%. Considering short-term production and the high growth rate of fungi, endophytes maybe a good choice for the production of antioxidant substances. Manuscript profile

The two secondary metabolites betulin and betulinic acid with valuable anti-cancer properties are synthesized in the various species of Birch bark. Due to the fact that the Birch species are under station in Iran and extracting the active compounds from the bark of this tree is the impossible, In order to achieve this objective, identification of  macroscopic fungi which are inhabiting under the bark of this plant, measuring the ability to absorb the active ingredient of betulin and betulinic acid in the fungi detected by using HPLC and also assess the amount of phenols (Folin–Ciocalteurmethod), flavonoids(according to the method of Alcl3colorimetric) and antioxidant activity (by DPPH method) of fungi in different solvents, were conducted .The results showed that two species of fungi were identified including: Hyphodontia paradoxa and Stereum hirsutum that the both species had the ability to absorb the active ingredient from their hosts. The absorption rate of host secondary metabolite, antioxidant properties, phenols and flavonoids were significantly different at the level of 0.01 percent. Amount of total phenol, betulin and betulinic acid in the S. hirsutum had a significant advantage over other fungus. Between the two solvents (methanol and ethanol), there was no significant difference in the amount of phenol and antioxidant properties, while the amount of flavonoid that extracted with ethanol was more than methanol. Based on the results and the presence of secondary metabolites in fungal tissue, they could be introduced as a new source of natural drugs to the society Manuscript profile

        Securing cyberspace and ensuring its security against the risks that exist is one of the most important human challenges in today's societies. New laws need to be legislated and passed so as to enable legal solutions to come into existence to combat the potential and actual risks of cyberspace, giving rise to a safer and more secure space. In order to make this happen, nowadays insurance companies have started offering virtual insurance services related to cyberspace. With the advancement of blockchain technology, non-fungible tokens are becoming more and more valuable. Therefore, insurance for valuable products worth millions of dollars is essential. This article seeks to explain the strategies and methods for applying insurance to non-fungible tokens. In this article, we seek to investigate and evaluate the feasibility of insurance for non-fungible tokens inspired by similar examples employing analytical descriptive methods. As a general conclusion, it can be stated that the insurance of these products requires widespread popularity of these products, establishment of appropriate laws, creation of systematic platforms and creation of desire in insurance companies to insure non-fungible tokens.

        This study delves into the impact of seasonal variations on the diversity of endophytic fungi inhabiting the foliage of Grevillea robusta trees along highways in Hawassa City, Ethiopia. With 765 fungal isolates categorized into 73 distinct morphotaxa, 90.41% were identified across eight known genera, leaving 9.58% unidentified. Notably, Phoma and Pestalotiopsis emerged as the most diverse genera, presenting 13 and 11 morphotaxa respectively, while Alternaria and Xylaria showed lower diversity with 3 and 2 morphotaxa each. The research unveiled heightened fungal counts and diversity in trees situated in more polluted environments, leaves sampled during dry seasons, those exhibiting signs of disease, lower leaf sections, and midrib samples. These findings underscore the rich assortment of endophytic fungi associated with Grevillea robusta leaves within roadside plantations in Hawassa City, emphasizing the need for further exploration of this fungal community's dynamics. Understanding the pivotal role of these endophytic fungi in tree health, ecosystem resilience, and potential applications in agriculture, forestry, and biotechnology remains imperative.

        مقدمه و هدف: پوسیدگی ناشی از گونه های مختلف فوزاریوم (Fusarium spp.) ، یکی از بیماری های قارچی مهم پس از برداشت سیب زمینی است. مهمترین روش های مبارزه با این بیماری شامل حمل و نقل و انبارداری مناسب غده های سیب زمینی به منظور به حداقل رساندن و ترمیم زخم های روی غده ها و ن More
        مقدمه و هدف: پوسیدگی ناشی از گونه های مختلف فوزاریوم (Fusarium spp.) ، یکی از بیماری های قارچی مهم پس از برداشت سیب زمینی است. مهمترین روش های مبارزه با این بیماری شامل حمل و نقل و انبارداری مناسب غده های سیب زمینی به منظور به حداقل رساندن و ترمیم زخم های روی غده ها و نیز سم­پاشی غده ها با ترکیبات قارچ کش است. اگر چه مدیریت موثر آفات با کاربرد آفت کش های مصنوعی به دست می آید ولی به دلیل افزایش آگاهی از خطرات مرتبط با استفاده از این مواد شیمیائی، توجه زیادی بر روی روش های جایگزین مانند کاربرد ترکیبات طبیعی گیاهان معطوف گشته است.روش تحقیق: در این مطالعه چهار غلظت مختلف از عصاره الکلی علف چشمه  (Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) برای فعالیت ضد قارچی علیه Fusarium solani  عامل اصلی پوسیدگی خشک سیب زمینی در استان همدان در شرایط درون شیشه (روی محیط کشت) مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. ملاک ارزیابی درصد ممانعت از رشد قارچ بود.نتایج و بحث:نتایج نشان داد که همه غلظت های مورد استفاده از عصاره الکلی علف چشمه در کنترل قارچ بر روی محیط کشت موثرند. بالاترین میزان ممانعت از رشد قارچ به ترتیب با 7/ 32% و 1/ 26%  با استفاده از تیمار قارچ کش و غلظت mg/m l600  عصاره علف چشمه به دست آمد.  به علاوه میزان ممانعت از رشد قارچ با عصاره وابسته به غلظت بود. به هر حال از نظر درصد ممانعت از رشد قارچ عامل بیماری تفاوت معنی داری بین غلظت های  mg/ml500 و mg/ml400  یا بین غلظت­های mg/ml400 و mg/ml300 عصاره علف چشمه مشاهده نشد. توصیه کاربردی/ صنعتی: با توجه به نتایج این آزمایش به نظر می رسد که عصاره علف چشمه توانائی کاربرد به عنوان قارچ کش طبیعی علیه قارچF.solaniرا دارد. پیشنهاد می شودکه این عصاره در شرایط طبیعی (روی غده های سیب زمینی ) نیز اجرا گردد.

        مقدمه و هدف: در سال های اخیر استفاده از فرآورده های گیاهی در ممانعت عوامل بیماری­زا از جمله ویروس­ها، باکتری­ها، قارچ ها و انگل ها به­طور گسترده مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. برخی از قارچ ها از جمله عوامل بیماری­زا هستند که می­توانند در انسان، جانوران و گیاهان مختلف ایجاد اختلال نمایند. عصاره های گیاهی از جمله موادی هستند که به عنوان فرآورده های ضد قارچی مورد استفاده قرار گرفته اند. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی اثرات ضد قارچی عصاره های آبی  شوید (Anethum graveolens)، آویشن (Thymus vulgaris)، گشنیز (Coriandrum sativum) و گل محمدی (Rosa damascena) برروی سویه های استاندارد و جداسازی شده­ی ( آسپرژیلوس فلاووس) و ( آسپرژیلوس فومیگاتوس) است. روش تحقیق: از روش چاهک جهت بررسی ممانعت از رشد عصاره های گیاهی استفاده شد و هاله ی عدم رشد غلظت های مختلف عصاره ها به طور جداگانه مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. حداقل غلظت مهارکنندگی رشد قارچ ها (MIC) به روش رقت سازی تعیین شد و در نهایت اثرات عصاره های آبی گیاهان نام­برده با اثرات نیستاتین مقایسه گردید. نتایج و بحث: نتایج این تحقیق نشان داد که در مورد آسپرژیلوس فلاووس استاندارد (PTCC 5006 )، نیستاتین، عصاره های آبی شوید، آویشن و گشنیز به میزان برابر و در نهایت گل محمدی دارای بیشترین اثرات ضد قارچی بودند. در مورد سویه ی جداسازی شده­ی این قارچ از محیط، نیستاتین، عصاره های آبی آویشن، گشنیز و سپس عصاره ی آبی شوید و در نهایت گل محمدی بیشترین اثرات ضد قارچی را داشتند. در مورد آسپرژیلوس فومیگاتوس استاندارد (PTCC 5009)، موثرترین ترکیبات ضد قارچی بررسی شده به ترتیب شامل نیستاتین، عصاره های آبی شوید، آویشن، گل محمدی و گشنیز بودند. در مورد سویه ی جداسازی شده ی این قارچ، موثرترین ترکیبات ضد قارچی به ترتیب شامل نیستاتین، عصاره های آبی شوید، آویشن، گشنیز و در نهایت گل محمدی بود. نتایج این تحقیق نشان داد که در تمامی موارد عصاره ها موجب کاهش رشد کلنی قارچ ها گردید که در این میان با افزایش غلظت عصاره های آبی شوید، آویشن، گشنیز و گل محمدی این اثر افزایش می یابد. توصیه کاربردی/ صنعتی: با اثبات اثر بخش بودن عصاره های آبی برگ گیاهان شوید، آویشن، گشنیز و گل گیاه گل محمدی بر روی رشد دو گونه از قارچ آسپرژیلوس شامل آسپرژیلوس  فلاووس و آسپرژیلوس  فومیگاتوس،  می توان امیدوار بود که بتوان در آینده با تخلیص ماده ی موثر گیاهان فوق و انجام تحقیقات بیشتر، به تولید صنعتی ترکیبی با اثرات ضد قارچی قابل قبول و عوارض جانبی کم برای درمان عفونت های قارچی دست یافت.

        Accidental releases of petroleum products are of particular concern in the environment. Hydrocarbon components have been known to belong to the family of carcinogens and neurotoxic organic pollutants. Fungi play an important role in the soil ecosystem as major decomposers. The aims of this study were to isolate and identity of the crude oil degradation indigenous fungi from contaminated soils of Maroon and Haftkel. Samples of contaminated soils with oil spill were collected. For isolation petroleum-utilizing fungi was used MSM supplemented with Streptomycine and 1% crude oil. Fungi that grow on this medium were subcultured into PDA plates until to obtain pure cultures. Potential of fungi for crude oil biodegradation was studied using of Bacto Bushnell-Haas broth medium containing 1% ( v /v) of crude oil, 0.1% ( v /v ) Tween 80 and 0.008 g/50 ml of redox indicator. The isolated fungi included Acremonium spp, Alternaria spp, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus terreus, Fusarium spp, Paecilomyces spp and Penicillium spp. Of these 8 isolates, ability Alternaria spp, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus terreus, Paecilomyces spp and Penicillium spp. was confirmed for crude oil biodegradation. Hence, these fungal species can be used for bioremediation of contaminated sites to oil spill. Currently the nature became more familiar with biological control solutions to remove hazardous from the environment. Manuscript profile

        The essential oil extracted from the epicarp of Citrus sinensis exhibited absolute fungitoxicity against soybean’s fungus as Alternaria alternate, Aspergillus niger, Cercospora kikuchii, Chaetomium spp., Cladosporium cladosporioides, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium roseum, Macrophomina phaseolina, Penicillium italicum, Phomopsisspp. Rhizoctonia solani, and Sclerotium rolfsii. It is very difficult to manage these pathogens by their nature of survival in seed. GC-MS studies of the oil revealed the presence of 10 chemical constituents of them limonene was found to be the major component (84.2 %). The activity of the oil was tested by the poisoned food technique and volatile activity assay. It was found that volatile activity was more toxic than poisoned food technique. The oil was extremely toxic for spore germination and it was found that at 700 ppm spore germination was inhibited in the ten test fungi out of the twelve tested. The essential oil demonstrated wide spectrum fungitoxicty. The seed were treated with essential oil for different concentration. It is evident that the treatment of essential oil inhibited the growth of dominant fungi. In 600 ppm Fusarium roseum, Penicilluim italicum, Rhizocotonia solaniand Sclerotium rolfsii were inhibited but in 700 ppm all tested fungi who is found in untreated seed were inhibited. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was done to study the mode of action of oil in case of Aspergillus niger and it was observed that the treatment of oil leads to the distortion and thinning of hyphal wall and the reduction in hyphal diameter and absence of conidiophores.

        Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Considering the nutritional value of fungi in traditional medicine and the history of their use in the treatment of various cancers, modern methods of treating cancer were studied using fungal products, especially polysaccharides. The antitumor activity of fungal polysaccharides is directly related to the stimulation of the immune system. These polysaccharides damage the free radicals and inhibit the growth of cancer cells by altering the function of macrophages, stimulating the production of anti-cancer antibodies and increasing nitric oxide and cytokines production. Despite extensive research on the therapeutic effects of fungal polysaccharides, further research is needed to identify their chemical structure, especially in purification methods. Fungal polysaccharides, in features such as linkage type, the degree of branching, molecular weight and solubility are different. The growth conditions of the fungal species, including the compositions of the culture medium, temperature, pH and type of bioreactor, affect the yield of polysaccharide and its monosaccharide composition. Polysaccharide extraction methods, drying, purification, and chemical modification can change the structural properties of polysaccharide, including linkage type, the degree of branching, uronic acid content, protein content, and solubility. Structural differences in fungal polysaccharides have been shown to lead to differences in antioxidant activity, anti-proliferation, and immune stimulation. Therefore, by investigating the chemical structure of fungal polysaccharides, it can be targeted to the production of polysaccharides for the treatment of cancer. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: In 1910 scientist notified the existence of fungi in rumen. Based on chitin content in their cell wall, they were classified as true fungi referred to as Neocallimastix frontalis. Based on morphological characters such as number of flagellates in zoospore, rhizomycelium, shape of sporangium, ultra structural of zoospore and nucleotide sequences data, these fungi are recently classified into two monocentric and polycentric groups, consisting of six genera. Materials and Methods: In the present study, literature search was performed based on search of MeSH keywords, such as phylogeny, monophyletic, Neocallimastigomycota, rumen fungi, in several online research tools, such as Pubmed Medline, Scopus, Google scholar, Elsevier databases, Irandoc, Iranmedex, Magiran, SID and MEDLIB limited to the articles published between 1992 to 2013. Results: Different characterises of these fungi such as life cycle, reproductive structures, vegetative thallus and molecular data revealed phytogenic relationship of rumen fungi to the members of Chytridiomycota. Phylogenetic analysis of these fungi and their relatives with other eukaryotes using 18S rDNA sequence data, analyses of structural data and the G+C content showed that this fungi are monophyletic organisms. Conclusion: The investigations on inhibitors and their roles in the interactions between fungi and bacteria can be useful to understand the microbial ecosystem of the rumen. Detection of these factors can be used to determine new ecologic relationships in the rumen. Furthermore, detection of the inhibitors of bacterial activity in the rumen can be used to increase the activity of fungi on plant fibres in this ecologic community. Manuscript profile

        Salinity affects plant growth by decreasing the water and nutrients uptakes and disturbing the nutritional balance of plants. To investigate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Zinc (Zn) uptake and some of growth indices of Corn (Zea Mays L.) at different soil salinity levels, a factorial experiment as completely randomized design with 3 replications was conducted in greenhouse of Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran. Factors included three salinity levels (0 (S1), 15(S1) and 30 (S2) Meq salt kg-1 soil) and microbial inoculation (without inoculation (C), Glumus Intradices (F), Pesudomonas bacteria (B) and fungi + bacteria (BF)). The results showed that dry matter of shoot and root, root colonization percentage, stem diameter, plant height, leaf area and chlorophyll index were significantly reduced by increasing of salinity levels from S0 to S2. Using all microbial treatments resulted in increasing of all the above mentioned growth indices at all salinity levels significantly. Generally, the use of fungi and fungi-bacterial treatments in enhancement of growth indices of plant were higher than bacterial treatment alone. Zn concentration in shoot and root was increased by increasing of salinity levels while Zn uptakes were significantly decreased. Also, Zn concentration and uptakes in shoot and root were significantly increased by application of all microbial treatments compared to control and the higher increase was related to fungi-bacterial treatment and the lowest increase observed in bacterial treatment.

        In this research, symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and some of the medicinal plants such as: Artemisa aucheri, Mentha longifolia, Plantago lanceolata, Thymus kotschyanus, Ziziphora clinopodioides and Cychorium intybus were studied during the spring and autumn period for two years in Nojian Watershed. Noujian with the area of 34000 hectares is situated between the Eastern latitude of 48° 23̕ to 48° 40̕ and its Northern longitude ranges from 33° 17̕ to 33° 60̕ at Lorestan province in watershed of Dez dam. Soil and thin roots collected randomly from the depth of 0-30 cm of plant canopy area. Significant difference (p> 0.01) was found in phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, magnesium and organic matter in spring and autumn. Potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus showed significant negative correlation with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi spore density and percentage colonization but magnesium was positively correlated with spore density and percentage colonization respectively; +0.61 and +0.48. Thymus kotschyanus showed the highest percentage root colonization and the highest number of spores were observed in rhizosphere of Ziziphora clinopodioides. The highest root colonization and spore numbers were observed in spring. Six species of Glomus genus contain G. microcarpum, G. etunicatum, G.macrocarpum, G. constrictum and G. geosporum were identified in the rhizosphere of selected medicinal plant species.

        The aim of this study was to identify and isolate bacteria and fungi that produce phospholipase and chitinase enzymes in Iranshahr fertile logic soil to identify and produce biological fertilizers for farmers in the province using microorganisms compatible with the geographical conditions of the region (secondary target). Sampling of soil from agricultural fields in fertile areas of Iranshahr city and soil sampling areas were diluted by 10+ 5. For Chitin, Shrimp substation, Sigma Aldrich USA and sterile egg yolk were used for phospholipase substrate. After merging the dedicated substrates bygeneral media culture, positive enzyme microstructures were identified and isolated by halo production. Enzymes were identified and confirmed by spectrophotometry testing and measurement of light absorption at 410 and 280 nm wavelengths. Samples were sent to South Korea's Macrogen Company for molecular identification. The predominant bacteria and fungi producing phospholipase were Bacillus subtilis and Mucor hiemalis, respectivelythe highest production of chitinase enzyme was observed in Pseudomonas putida and Mucor hiemalis microsatellites. Changes in pH showed that an increase in pH to alkalinity greatly reduced enzyme secretion. The highest levels of both enzymes were found in Mucor hiemalis Manuscript profile

        Identifying the critical time and timing of plant irrigation based on a precise and basic plan is the key to water conservation, improvement of irrigation operations and plant tolerance to water shortage in agriculture. In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.
