Conventional morphological identification methods, although reasonably effective in identifying different species of Aspergillus, are generally ineffective in identifying the races and populations of Aspergillus species; it is also true about Aspergillus flavus, which is one of the most important Aspergillus species in Economic and health. In this study, in addition to morphological identification based on microscopic and macroscopic traits of Aspergillus flavus isolates from five dried fruit products, Twenty standardized primers based on ISSR method were used to study the populations of this species. Statistical Multivariate analyzes based on ISSR findings, show different populations from different sources and different locations of Aspergillus flavus can be distinguish from each other with use of this method.

There are many medicinal plants in Iran that are not endangered but their indigenous knowledge is rapidly eroding due to lifestyle changes. In this paper, along with the study of flora, Life forms, and chorotype of medicinal plants of Taft County, tried to collect and record the ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants in this county. After determining the different habitat areas of the county, collection of medicinal plants and indigenous knowledge about the medicinal properties of herbs was done. According to the results of this study, 91 species of medicinal plants were identified. The Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, and Brassicaceae families, have the most species. species belonging to the Iran- Turanian region show most frequency and The most common life form was therophytes. Ethnobotanical knowledge shows these species are mainly used to treat digestive, respiratory and urinary problems. One of the basic prerequisites for achieving sustainable development is the proper management of natural areas, it is important to recognize species in order to prevent them from being destroyed. These researches, In addition to demonstrating the importance of botany in applied research, can leads to the proper environmental planning, and being the basis for sustainable exploitation of natural resources.
