Abstract
AbstractAs an agroforestry resource willow species (Salix spp.) becoming increasingly important in the protection of riverbanks, recovery of floodable lands, soil bioremediation, biomass production, and wicker furniture manufacture, Babylon willow (Salix babylonica) is widely planted all over the world and is found throughout Iran as part of the rural landscape and is mostly planted for ornamental or bioremediation purposes. Rust fungi in the genus Melampsora usually cause disease on Salix species. Identification of Melampsora species is often complicated because there are few differences in spore morphology and little publicly available comparative sequence data. Willow trees in Iran have been reported to be infected by 15 Melampsora species; however, most of these records are based on morphological characterization. During surveillance activities carried out in June 2007, a rust species was detected on isolated Babylon willow trees in an area in Northern Iran. Both the rust fungus and the host plant were identified on the basis of morphological features and DNA sequencing. Based on a combination of morphology, large subunit (LSU) rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, our rust specimen was identified as Melampsora ferrinii, which is newly reported from Iran on Salix babylonica. Melampsora ferrinii was originally described from the Americas and this is the first time this rust has been observed on its telial host, Babylon willow, in Asia. The documentation of the rust fungus was performed using both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy. Additionally, an identification key for Melampsora species reported on Salix spp. in Iran is included.En tant que ressource agroforestière, les espèces de saules (Salix spp.) deviennent de plus en plus importantes dans la protection des berges, la récupération des terres inondables, la bioremédiation des sols, la production de biomasse et la fabrication de meubles en osier.

期刊介绍:
Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology is an international journal which publishes the results of scientific research and other information relevant to the discipline of plant pathology as review papers, research articles, notes and disease reports. Papers may be submitted in English or French and are subject to peer review. Research articles and notes include original research that contributes to the science of plant pathology or to the practice of plant pathology, including the diagnosis, estimation, prevention, and control of plant diseases. Notes are generally shorter in length and include more concise research results. Disease reports are brief, previously unpublished accounts of diseases occurring on a new host or geographic region. Review papers include mini-reviews, descriptions of emerging technologies, and full reviews on a topic of interest to readers, including symposium papers. These papers will be highlighted in each issue of the journal and require prior discussion with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission.
