Abstract
AbstractLeaf surface, pollen morphology and mycobiota as well as leaf spots have been investigated in three wild medicinal plant species [Fagonia cretica L.(Zygophyllaceae);Peganum harmalaL. (Peganaceae) andScorzonera undulataVahl (Asteraceae)] growing in Egypt. Thirty eight fungal species belonging to 18 genera were collected from leaf surfaces (15 genera and 32 species) and anthers/pollen grains (16/26) ofF. cretica,P. harmalaandS. undulataon Czapek‐Dox agar at 27 °C. There is basic similarity of mycobiota in the two microhabitats (leaf surface and anther/pollen grains) of the three wild medicinal plants with the most frequently encountered fungi wereAlternaria alternata, Cladosporium herbarum,andUlocladium botrytis.Also some members ofAspergillus, FusariumandStemphyliumwere only common in any of the two microhabitats.
