Revision of the genus Crataegus in the East and Northeast of Iran
Morphological, numerical and chemical taxonomy of the genus Crataegus was studied in the East and northeast of Iran. More than 80 fresh specimens as well as 50 herbarium specimens from different localities were examind. Using vegetative and reproductive morphological characters an identification key is provided for all taxa. For numerical taxonomy 85 morphological characters were measured and the data were analysed by UPGMA method using NTSYS software. In chemotaxonomical study using paper chromatography, about 41 flavonoid spots were recognised by UV ray and UV+NH3 steam. The results showed the studied taxa can be classified into one section (sect. Crataegus), five series (ser. Crataegus, ser. Erianthae, ser.Orientales, ser. Pentagyna and ser. Microphyllae), and 13 taxa at species and infra-species level.

Genetic diversity of Neotyphodium fungal endophytes in three Iranian grass species using AFLP molecular markers
Genetic diversity of fungal endophytes, Neotyphodium species, was studied in grasses Festuca arundinacea, F. pratensis and Lolium perenne using AFLP markers. Fungi were isolated from the host leaf sheaths and Neotyphodium species were selected based on morphological characteristics. To confirm identity of selected fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium, polymerase chain reaction was performed using specific primers. AFLP with eight primer combinations was conducted to assess genetic variation for endophyte isolates. Cluster analysis based on AFLP data placed isolates into three separate groups according to their host species.

IDENTIFICATION AND PREVALENCE OF ASPERGILLUS SPECIES IN SOILS OF FARS AND KERMAN PROVINCES OF IRAN AND EVALUATION OF THEIR AFLATOXIN PRODUCTION
Aspergillus species are major causes of pre- and post-harvest degradation of agricultural products. During 2004-07, the presence and population of Aspergillus species were studied in various fields and orchards of Fars and Kerman Provinces. Soil samples were collected from 0-40 cm depth. Isolates were recovered from soil using modified Czapek, AFPA and SPDA media. Based on macroscopic and microscopic criteria, five sections (Flavi, Nigri, Circumdati, Fumigati, Terrei) and 13 following species were identified.

Population variation of Artemisia sieberi in Iran based on quantitative characters of leaf and seed and their relationships with habitat features
Thirty-four populations of Artemisia sieberi from 10 provinces of Iran were investigated with respect to quantitative characteristics of leaves and seeds. In each habitat, five plants were randomly selected and some branches were harvested for studying leaf characteristics in spring and seed characteristic in autumn. Principle features of climate and soil were studied in each habitat. In order to grouping populations cluster analysis was carried out with Complete Method and Euclidian distance in Minitab software. Climate, altitude and soil features were compared by variance analysis among groups.

Study on some biological and morphological characteristics of Wilsonomyces carpophilus in West Azerbaijan
Shot hole disease of stone fruit trees, caused by Wilsonomyces carpophilus (Lév.) Adaskaveg, Ogawa & Butler(= Stigmina carpophila (Lév.) M.B. Ellis and Coryneum beijerinckii Oud.) is a serious disease of Prunus species in West Azerbaijan province. The pathogen was obtained from infected leaves, fruits and twigs of Prunus orchards during spring and summer of 2007. Samples were cultured on PDA, MEA, WA (2%) and APDA media after surface sterilization. Sixty isolates were recovered from Prunus orchards and studied. Based on morphological and physiological characters and growth optimal temperature, all isolates were identified as Wilsonomyces carpophilus. Isolates produced sporodochia bearing sympodial conidiophores and conidia with 3-5 cells (occasionally 1-9 cells), holoblastic, rhexolytic and 20-67.5 × 7.5-15 mm. Optimal growth was observed in 21º C and pH 6 and no growth was occurred below 5º C or above 30º C.

Contribution to the flora and habitats of the Estil wetland (Astara) and its surroundings, Northwest Iran
The present study involves the flora of the Estil wetland and its surroundings in Astara, northwest Iran. During 2006-07, we examined the plant specimens collected in this area and determined that there are 247 vascular plant taxa (229 species, 11 subspecies, and seven varieties) in 170 genera and 60 families. The largest families are Poaceae (27 taxa), Asteraceae (26), and Brassicaceae (21). Genera represented by the greatest number of species are Ranunculus (7), Cyperus (7) and Polygonum (6). From the chronological point of view, the largest proportion of the flora belongs to the pluriregional elements. The number of endemic taxa within the study area is 11 (4.5%). Using all references used, eight species and nine species are reported for the first time for the flora of northern Iran and Guilan Province, respectively.

Geographic distribution of Astragalus in Iran
The geographic distribution of Astragalus (Fabaceae) in Iran was analyzed using a database of 7606 georeferencedobservations. Astragalus occurs in all provinces of Iran, but 88% ofthe observations are in five provinces including Tehran, West-Azerbaijan, Esfahan, Kordestan, and Khorasan-e Razavi.Most species are rare and narrowly endemic: Thelargest distance between two observations of the same species for 451 speciesis Astragalus, 269 selected cells are enough. High species richnessoccurs only in northern half of country especially in north-west of the Iran. Regions with high richness include Central-Alborz Mountain in north, North-Zagros Mountain in west, Mountain of north-west corner of Iran, and Khorasan-Kopet Dagh Mountain in North-East. The highestnumber of species in a grid cell (43 species) occurs in Avaj between Qazvin and Hamedan.Astragalus species occur between 30° N and 38° N. Astragalus species widely distributed in mountainous regions especially between 1000 and 3000 m altitude.
