Investigating the Antifungal Effect of the Essential Oil of on Dominant Filamentous Fungal Agents Isolated from Livestock and Poultry Feed.

Background: One of the most important principles in disease control is the health of livestock and poultry feed. Given the natural growth of Th. eriocalyx in Lorestan province, its essential oil can be added to the livestock and poultry feed and prevent the growth of the dominant filamentous fungi.

Molecular identification and genetic variation of species isolated from tomatoes using ITS1 sequencing and inter simple sequence repeat methods.

Background And Purpose: is one of the most abundant fungi that exists in numerous places around the world. This saprophytic fungus causes diseases in plants and accounts for the spoilage of cereals in warehouses. The aim of this study was to identify isolates based on their morphological characteristics and internal transcribed spacer ribosomal RNA (ITS rRNA) sequencing method.

Synthesis of spherical FeO nanoparticles from the thermal decomposition of iron (III) nano-structure complex: DFT studies and evaluation of the biological activity.

A novel Fe(III) Schiff base complex of the [FeL(NO)]NO type where L = 2-((pyridin-4-yl)methyleneamino)-3-aminomaleonitrile was synthesized using the reflux and sonochemical methods and their antibacterial and antifungal activity were evaluated. The nanoparticles of iron oxide (FeO) were obtained from the iron nano-structure complex as a precursor after calcination at 600 ˚C for 3 h. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques.

Giberella fujikuroi species complex isolated from maize and wheat in Iran: distribution, molecular identification and fumonisin B1 in vitro biosynthesis.

Background: Contamination of food and agricultural crops by Fusarium species is a major concern of food spoilage and a potential public health hazard. In the present study, natural contamination of maize and wheat samples from main cultivation areas of Iran by Fusarium species belonging to the Giberella fujikuroi species complex was evaluated, with special attention to the ability of the isolates to produce fumonisin B1 (FB1 ).

Results: A total of 55 Fusarium isolates were obtained from 27/32 maize samples (84.
