The research
of fungi were development
on the forest kinds very irnportant
because
these
are evaluate
provide phytopathogenic
state
of forests.
Microfungi *ere less in-
vestigated
in Turkey. The most of data
on these
fungi refer to agricultural
crops (Bre-
mer et al., 1952; Karel, 1958). There are only. a few inforrnalion about miirofungi
on forest plants (Gbbelez, 1963;
Baydar, l9B2 Oner et al., 1984).
We have regularly
investigated
microfungi of forest trees and shrubs since 1998 (Huseyinov, Selguk,
1999, 2000). Deuteromycetous
phyllotrophs from orders Melanconialei and
Sphabro-
psidales
from forest kinds of Rize province were given in our first article (Huseyinov,
Selguk,
2001).
Materials for this paper was provided from mycological excursions
in the forests
area of Rize province in 1998-2000.
As a result of field and laboratory studies 110 species
belonging to i classis,
10 orders and 47.genera from phyliotrophs microfungl were identifiea. These fungi
found on 40_
species
frgm 32 genera
of forest trees
lnd shrubs.
In the forest ph|-
tocoenoses
of Rize province the diversity and widely distributed species were Oiitin-
guish oneself by the Deuteromycotina
(84 species).
Ascomycetous
and basidiomyce-
tous microfungi were represented
by 22 species
from 11 genera.
_-.
T!: powdery mildews (Erysiphaceae)
are represented
bt 6 species:
Microsphaera
(3), Phyllactinia (l), (Incinula (i) and Sawadaea
(1). From theie fungi we have to
record
.Microsphaera alphitoides Griff. et Maubl., because
it infects all oak species
in the investigated
region. Phytlactinia guttata (Wallr.: Fr.) L6v. recorded
in moirntain
zone and most of forest plants like beech,
alder, birch, hornbeam,
hazelnut,
chestnut
els-
Mtcrosphaera
penicillata (Wallr.: Fr.) L6v. on Alnus glutinosa and
Sawadaea
bi-
cornis (Wallr.: Fr.) Homma on Acer platanoides
are relatively rare species.
Develop-
ment of powdery mildews show differences
which depend
on tempeiature
and rains.
But -
generally the powdery mildews on lowlands appear in the first half on May.
On higher areas
(vertical zone)
their development
wai recorded 1-1.5 months later.
Therg are important differences in period of development between the specie
s of Mic-
rosphaera and Phyllactinia. Species of Microsphaera appear in the first decade of
Yu_y, species
of Phyltactinia start to develop in the r..onO half of vegetation period
(July-August) and both of them stop development
in November-December. For-
mation of cleistothecia
depends
on weather on these
months.
13
The powdery mildews developed
intensively on the trees growing along the mo-
torways, for exarnple
Microsphaera
platani Flowe.
Perhaps it is the result of gas-du.st
transport contamination.
Morenoina clarkii J.
P.
Ellis (Asterinaceae)
and
Dennisiella babingtonii (Berk.) Bat.
et Cif. (Cociocliniaceae) from Loculoascomycetes
developed on high altitude. More-
noina clarkii with anarnorph from Marssonina developed on living leaves of Rubus
idaeus.
Dennisiella babingtonii is recorded
on leaves
of Rhododendron
ungerni. Ana-
morph of this species belongs to genus Microxyphium.
fhe mernbers of Mycosphaerella genus
developed
on dying leaves
of forest trees and
shrubs
during winter. Among these
,M.
fagi (Auers.)
Lindau and
M. punctifurmis (Fers.:
Fr.) Starb.
were recorded
usually on plants of Fagus, Castanea
and Quercus.
M" clintont-
ana (House)
Hou.se was found only on living leaves and caused spots
of l-3 crn diam.
on Rhododendron
luteum.
Lasiobotrys
lonicerae
(Fr.) Kuntze (Cucurbitaceae) v.ras dist-
ributed and developed
abundantly
on living leaves of Lonicera caucasica
in mountain
zone (> 2000 m ali.;. Mamiqnia fimbriata (Pers.:
Fr.) Ces. et De Not. and M. coryli
(Batsch:
Fr.) Hoehn.
were
found on living leaves
of Carpinus and Corylus spp.
in middle
mountain
zone but they did not cause
serious
damage of the plants.
R.ust
fungi are
widely distributed in region. Among these
Melampsora species
are
common on Salix and Fopulus from lowlands up to high mountain zone.
From rust
fungi Cerotelium fici {Cast.) Arthur damages
Ficus carica in the seaside areas.
Me-
tampsoridium
betulinum
(Fr.) Kleb. (on living leaves of Betula
pendula) and
M. carpini
(Fuckel) Dietel (on living leaves
of Carpinus
betulus)
were found in localities
between
800-2200 m altitude. Degree of the distribution of these rust fungi are 3-5 Vo, in-
fection degree of it - 90-957o. Gymnosporagium
cornutum Arthur ex F. Kern (on
living leavis of Sorbus
aucuparia),
Pttccinia
coronata Corda
(on living leaves
of Fran-
gula ainus) and P.
festucoe Plowr. (on living leaves of Lonicera caucasica)
are rare
ipecies. Because of subtropical conditions fungi on evergreen
trees and shrubs de-
vbloped here during the winter too. Microstroma album Sacc. from Exobasidiales is
widely distributed iungus on most of oak species and causes
exfoliation before the
usual (normal) time.
Most of ascomycetes
and basidiomycetes
have been recorded
in zone of 1000-
1800 m altitude, ar the lesser extant 180A-2200 m altitude.
Ascomycetous and basidiomycetous
microfungi in studied territory usually were
recorded on the different species
of Betulaceae,
Caryophyllaceae,
Ericaceae,
Fagaceae
and Rosaceae.
Most of recorded
micromycetes
have
not strong
relationships
with host-
plants. Cerotelium
fici, Melampsoridium betulinum, M. carpini and Mtcrostroma album
are in negative interrelations with host-plants.
In coriclusion we want to emphasize that from reavealed species of Denntsiella
babingtonii, Morenotna clarkii, Mycosphaerella clintoniana, M.fagi, Cerotelium fici,
Melampsoridiwm betulinum, M. carpini, Gymnosporangium
cornutum and Puccinia fes-
tucae apparently were recorded for the first tirne in Rize province.
The^authors wish to express
their thanks for the financial support from TUBITAK
(Project no. TARP-2345).

... In Turkey seven species of this genus were found: G. amelanchieris, G. clavariiforme, G. confusum, G. cornutum, G. dobrozrakovae, G. sabinae, and G. tremelloides (Dinç and Yilmaz, 1978;Hüseyinov, 2000;Bahçecioðlu, 2001;Hüseyinov and Selçuk, 2001;Erdoðdu et al., 2010;Dervis et al., 2010). Studies on distribution of the genus Gymnosporangium have been mainly performed in different regions of North America, where more species have been identified (Cummins and Hiratsuka, 2003). ...

Rusts (Fungi, Basidiomycota, Pucciniomycotina, Pucciniomycetes, Pucciniales) are one of the most important causal agents of diseases and they are infecting many plants including cereals and field crops, vegetables, trees and many ornamentals. They have been studied for a long time and have economic importance among the plant diseases caused by agents of different species of fungi. In Europe, thirteen rust genera have been reported, of which the genus Gymnosporangium is the second largest after genus Phragmidium. The most significant fruit tree rust pathogen is the genus Gymnosporangium. The literature review shows quite limited scientific information about this genus and its species. Studies have mainly focused on some stages of the pathogen development cycle, which are significant for the spread of diseases - uredo and teleito stages. Special attention of the review was paid to European pear rust (caused by G. sabinae (Dicks.) G. Winter), the distribution of which has increased during the last ten years, especially in organic pear orchards. Currently there is a limited number of scientific publications about European pear rust, and they are mainly based only on observations in vitro without trials in the field, despite the fact that it has become one of the most devastating diseases. Therefore, the presented review analyses the rust exploration history, diversity and distribution of species, life cycle, development biology and plant protection issues.
... Puccinia smilacis have been recorded by us secondly, it was registered by Hüseyin & Karahan formerly (2005). Similar studies were studied in Black sea coastal region forest ecosystem except Bartın provinces and identified species such as Phyllosticta haynaldii, P. ruscicola, Gloeosporium carpinicola, Hirudinaria mespili, Diatrype stigma, Discula campestris etc. (Hüseyinov & Selçuk 2001a, 2001bMel'nik et al. 2004;Selçuk & Hüseyin 2005) The identified species of microfungi are different consortive relations with 21 host plant species in 18 genera of 19 families. ...

In this research the microfungi of Bartın forest ecosystems has been investigated. After revaluation of more than one hundred plant samples collected from the research area in September 16-17, 2012, 30 species belonging to 19 families and 26 genera of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are determined. 26 species are belonging to Ascomycota and 4 species are belonging to Basidiomycota. 7 spesies of Ascomycota belonging to Sordariomycetes, 4 species belonging to Leotiomycetes while 15 are belonging to Dothideomycetes. All species belong to Xylotrophical and Phyllotrophical groups. 21 of 30 species are pathogens or parasites. 9 species are saprobiont. The genera Cheiromyces and Neosetophoma, C. stellatus, N. samararum, Phyllosticta ruscicola, Physalospora eriostega, Mycosphaerella winteri, Metasphaeria errabunda and Nectria wiridescens species are recorded for the first time for the Turkish Mycota
... Seven Gymnosporangium species have been reported in Turkey (Dinç and Yilmaz 1978;Hü seyinov 2000;Bahç eciog lu 2001;Hü seyinov and Selç uk 2001), of which at least Gymnosporangium fuscum DC (European pear rust), Gymnosporangium confusum Plowr. (Medlar rust) and Gymnosporangium clavariiforme (Jack) DC (European hawthorn rust) can grow on J. excelsa. ...

In this study, the frequency of European pear rust (Gymnosporangium fuscum) lesions on Juniperus excelsa was investigated both on seedlings in a nursery and on forest trees in six juniper stands located in south-western Turkey. In the nursery, lesions occurred on 0.7% of 5510 1-year-old seedlings and 29% of 200 2-year-old potted seedlings. In each of the juniper forests, 50 trees were chosen within a square of approximately 400 m2 in size. In general, rust lesions were common on the trees. On average, 49.0% of the trees had lesions; on 17.3% of the trees, the lesions were located on the trunk, on 43.3% on the branches and on 11.7% on both. In lesion-bearing trees, the average number of lesions was 1.47–3.59 and the maximum number of lesions per tree were six to 11. Most of the lesions (85.1%) were on branches. There were significant differences between the stands, which can be attributed to different age of the trees, site factors and the presence of alternate hosts. The rust identified from stem lesions in forest trees and from nursery seedlings was European pear rust (G. fuscum), but possible co-occurrence of other Gymnosporangium spp. cannot be excluded.

Three hawthorn and related rust diseases caused by Gymnosporangium confusum on Crataegus monogyna, Gymnosporangium clavariiforme on Crataegus orientalis and Gymnosporangium sabinae on Pyrus communis were detected in Hatay province, Turkey. G. confusum was also found causing telial galls on Juniperus communis. G. confusum and G. clavariiforme produced aecial horns on overwintered galls on hawthorn twigs from May to June. The production of galls caused by Gymnosporangium on the secondary host is unusual. Portions of the nuclear ITS and LSU rDNA were sequenced for all three species of Gymnosporangium for use as a species barcode; sequences were deposited in GenBank. Sequence data from G. clavariiforme and G. sabinae matched those in GenBank; however, this is the first study to deposit sequence data from G. confusum to GenBank. The life cycles of G. confusum and G. clavariiforme are discussed along with implications for disease control.
