Fungi associated with leaf spots of nutsedge plants in north of Iran %K taxon %K species %K Morphology %K diversity %K Iran %R %X Twenty fungal isolates associated with leaf spots of nutsedge plants (Cyperus spp.) from north of Iran (Guilan, Mazandaran, Zanjan and Golestan Provinces) are examined. According to the results of the morphological studies of grown fungi on culture media, Curvularia clavata, Curvularia lunata var. aeria, Dactylaria higginsii, and Myrothecium brachysporum are new taxa for Iran mycoflora and reported for the first time. This is the first report of isolation of Alternaria alternata, C. clavata, C. lunata, C. lunata var. aeria, D. higginsii, Glomerella cingulata, M. brachysporum, Nigrospora oryzae and Pestalotiopsis guepinii of thenutsedge in Iran. %U https://rostaniha.areeo.ac.ir/article_101556_c5d7e71c31df82ae38e77303248b55bd.pdf
