Abstract

Decline disease is a potential threat for survival and longevity of oaks species in many European, American and Central Asian countries (Luchi et al. 2005). Biscogniauxia mediterranea, the causal agent of oak charcoal rot disease, is known as one of the fungal species involved in oak decline in Iran (Mirabolfathi et al. 2013, Ghasemi-Esfahlan et al. 2016)
