Abstract
Most of the symbiotic fungi can improve the growth of the host plants by increasing in water and nutrients absorption. Among the symbiotic fungi, Piriformospora indica or Piri have a good potential in symbiotic relation with plants and well known for its effect on host plants by increasing adventitious roots and growth stimulation in above and below ground parts of the plants. The effects of this fungus on vegetative growth of some medicinal plants and accumulation of the secondary metabolites have been discussed.

Hoseinzadeh A., Davari M. and Habibi-Yangjeh A. 2017. Applications of nanomaterials in the fungal plant diseases management. Plant Pathology Science 6(2):68-77.
The use of nanotechnology in plant disease management has been seriously considered by researchers in recent years. Some of these reteaches have shown the antifungal effects of nano zinc oxide on Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum; nano copper oxide on Aspergillus flavus; silver nanocomposite compounds (SiO₂/Ag₂S) on Aspergillus niger; Fe₃O₄/ZnO/AgBr on Fusarium graminearum, F. oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea, and carbon nanomaterials on F. graminearum. Their antifungal mechanisms are including: degradation of lipid and protein, damage to cell membranes, water channels blocking by nanomaterials and loss of spore water and plasmolysis and the inhibition of growth or destruction of fungal hyphae and prevent the sporulation.

Abstract
Ghasemi K. 2018. Sulfur role in plant diseases management. Plant Pathology Science 7(1):63-72.
Sulfur (S), as a promoter of plant defense system and fungicidal effect, can have a critical role in organic farming. Presence of sulfuric defense compounds including elemental sulfur, H2S, glutathione, اسیدیتهytochelatins, secondary metabolites and S-rich proteins are vital under stress conditions. As a soil disinfectant, carbon disulfide is widely used against soil-borne pathogens. This is used for controlling the root and crown rot disease caused by Armillaria. Sulfur fumigation is used against powdery mildew in greenhouse production. Fumigation and application of sulfur pad are methods for controlling the grape and some other fruits rot in storage. Besides, sulfur is effective in control of mites, psyllids, and thrips.

Ghasemi-Doodaran S, Davari M (2020) Fungal diseases of hazelnut in Iran. Plant Pathology Science 9(2):85-94. DOI: 10.2982/PPS.9.2.85.
Hazelnut tree has natural habitats in northwestern Iran in the forests of Ardabil and Gilan provinces. Decline disease is a threatening agent of hazelnut trees in these areas. Symptoms of the disease include weakness, reduced growth, leaf fall and dieback of the branches, branch and trunk canker and root rot that eventually lead to the gradual death or decline of the tree. In Iran the fungi cause hazelnut decline disease, Diaporthe amygdali, and Cytospora fuckelii as canker and Fusarium semitectum, F. lateritium, F. anthophilum and Armillaria mellea as root rot causative agents. This article describes symptoms of hazelnut decline in Iran, pathogenic fungi and management strategies.

Alizadeh Aliabadi A, Faghihi MM, Salehi M, Ghasemi A (2022) Dynamics of emergence and spread of citrus huanglongbing disease in Iran. Plant Pathology Science 11(2):11-21. Doi: 10.2982/PPS.11.2.11
Introduction: Huanglongbing or Fruit Greening is one of the major citrus diseases in Iran that has spread to most of the country's citrus growing provinces. In this study, the prevalence trend of the disease in seven provinces was investigated and analyzed. Materials and Methods: Citrus orchards in Sistan-Balochestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, Fars, Kerman and Mazandaran provinces were visited and samples suspected of having this disease were collected, in 2007-2009 and 2017-2019 years. After DNA extraction from the samples, the PCR test was performed using the specific primers OI1/OI2c and A2/J5. Results: It was found that the percentage of infected specimens, infected areas and number of hosts of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causative agent of this disease, has increased over this period. At the end of this period, some samples of oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, bitter oranges, Lisbon lemons and Mexican limes were obtained from the provinces: Kerman, Hormozgan, Sistan-Baluchestan, and Fars were infected with the disease. Conclusion: The study of the disease during these years showed that: the infected areas and the host range of the disease have expanded a lot during this period, and the spread of the disease in citrus cultivation areas in the south of the country has been with a gentle slope. The reduction of the disease-carrying psyllium population during these years seems to have been effective in slowing down the spread of the disease.

Abstract
Khezri, M., Karimi Shahri, M. R., & Ghasemi, A. (2023). Bacterial rot disease of saffron corm and leaf. Plant Pathology Science, 12(1), 74-83.
Saffron is one of the valuable agricultural products and its dried stigma is used as medicine and is known as a precious spice. Infection of the plant's reproductive organs plays an important role in the spread of pathogens. The saffron is reproduced via corms, and using healthy and pathogen-free corms is the best and most effective strategy to prevent the spread of soil-borne pathogens in new areas and fields. Saffron corm rot disease is caused by some fungal and bacterial pathogens. Burkholderia gladioli pv. gladioli is the causal agent of saffron leaf and corm rot disease. The bacterium survives in the soil for a long time, and it is transmitted through the infected soil, farming tools, and corms. In recent years, this disease has been reported from Khorasan Razavi province. In this article, along with introducing the bacterial disease of saffron leaves and corms rotting, strategies to prevent the occurrence and spread of the disease have been presented.
