Аннотация:Fungal pathogens are considered potentially effective agents for the biological control of weeds that significantly hamper crop production all over the world. Numerous collections of diseased weed samples were obtained during surveys in the Krasnodar region of Russia. Specimens were collected from the following host plant genera: Centaurea, Carduus and Cirsium (Asteraceae); Salsola (Chenopodiaceae); Echinochloa and Phragmites (Poaceae); and Vincetoxicum and Cynanchum (Apocynaceae). Pathogens isolated were identified with standard plant pathology methods together with DNA sequence analyses of amplified ITS regions of isolates by phytopathological analysis and molecular marking. Isolated fungal pathogens included: Puccinia punctiformis (Pucciniales) from Cirsium arvense, Puccinia calcitrapae var. centaureae (Pucciniales) from different species of Carduus, Puccinia jaceae (Pucciniales) and Periconia igniaria (Pleosporales) on Centaurea solstitialis, Puccinia isiacae (Puccineales) from Phragmites australis, Uromyces salsolae (Pucciniales), Colletotrichum salsolae (Sordariales) and Phomopsis oblonga (Diaporthales) from Salsola tragus, Ustilago trichophora (Ustilaginales) from Echinochloa crus-galli, and fungi from genera Phomopsis and Cercospora from Vincetoxicum and Cynanchum spp. A web site http://phytofungi.weebly.com/index.html was designed with locations of the weed plants and their fungal pathogens in the south of Russia. Operating maps were derived from Google Maps.
