Mycobiota and Resistance to Diseases of Trees and Shrubs Used in the Greening of Urban Ecosystems

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The presented work is devoted to the assessment of the mycobiota of trees and shrubs used in landscaping large cities of the Republic of Azerbaijan, according to their species composition and resistance to diseases caused by fungi. It turned out that 143 species of fungi are involved in the formation of the mycobiota of trees used in the landscaping of Azerbaijan. Of these, 58.5% are Ascomycota, 28.0% are Basidiomycota, and 7.6% are Mucormycota. 85.7% of the fungi involved in the formation of the general mycobiota of trees and shrubs are potentially pathogenic, causing 50 diseases in plants, the prevalence of which is 0.7-24.5%.
