Identification of Cercospora species in southwestern Iran
Cercospora species are associated with leaf spot symptoms on various host plants. In this
research, nine species of the genus on some medicinal and economic crops were found
in different locations in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad Provinces (southwestern Iran) and
examined according to morphological characteristics of stromata, conidiophores, conidiogenous
cells and conidia. Results showed that Cercospora species on Cichorium intybus
(C. cichorii) and Nasturtium officinale (C. nasturtii) are new for the mycobiota of Iran.
However, characteristics of Cercospora on Plantago lanceolata are very similar to the description
of C. plantaginis, but morphologically indistinguishable from C. apii s. lat. Other
species have already been reported from other parts of Iran, but are new in southwestern
Iran. Furthermore, Rumex crispus and Trifolium resupinatum are new hosts for C. apii and
C. zebrina in Iran, respectively
Original Article. Identification of Cercospora species in southwestern Iran
Cercospora species are associated with leaf spot symptoms on various host plants. In this
research, nine species of the genus on some medicinal and economic crops were found
in diff erent locations in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad Provinces (southwestern Iran) and
examined according to morphological characteristics of stromata, conidiophores, conidiogenous
cells and conidia. Results showed that Cercospora species on Cichorium intybus
(C. cichorii) and Nasturtium offi cinale (C. nasturtii) are new for the mycobiota of Iran.
However, characteristics of Cercospora on Plantago lanceolata are very similar to the description
of C. plantaginis, but morphologically indistinguishable from C. apii s. lat. Other
species have already been reported from other parts of Iran, but are new in southwestern
