updated information on species, host range, and geographical distribution of powdery mildew fungi in iran

This paper presents an updated revision on iran’s species, host ranges, and geographical distribution of powdery mildew fungi. according to our findings, 154 powdery mildew fungal species belonging to nine genera—viz., arthrocladiella (one species), blumeria (two species), erysiphe sect. erysiphe (25 species), e. section microsphaera (21 species), e. section uncinula (11 species), golovinomyces (20 species), leveillula (31 species), neoerysiphe (three species), phyllactinia (18 species), podosphaera sect. podosphaera (five species), p. section sphaerotheca (14 species), and sawadaea (three species)—occur in iran. moreover, several records on 88 miscellaneous host plants belong to unidentified anamorphic states considered as oidium s.l. spp., which are kept in a separate section. in this updated version, 673 host plant species are reported, representing 339 genera.
