Abstract

In order to identify  fungi associated with weeds in Hamedan Province, samples were collected from different geographic regions during spring and summer in 2009. Species were identified using morphological characteristics and sequences of ITS regions (ITS1, ITS2, 5.8S gene) of ribosomal DNA. Five isolates related to Taraxacum officinale and three isolates related to Chenopodium murale were identified as Phoma herbicola and  Phoma medicaginis var medicaginis, respectively. This is the first report of Phoma herbicola on Taraxacum  officinale and Phoma medicaginis var medicaginis on Chenopodium murale in the World.
