Abstract:
The date palm tree (phoenix dactylifera) is one of the most popular fruit trees of the world. It has religious values as well as cultural importance. Fungi are a source of fruit rot, produce mycotoxins and reduce the economic values of date fruit. The study aimed to isolate and identify the fungi associated with the contamination of different varieties of date palm fruit sold in Bauchi metropolis Nigeria, to isolate and identify the fungi associated with the date’s contamination and to microscopically characterize the isolated fungi. Results showed that sample A had 11 organisms, 13 were found from B, 5 from C, 6 from D and 7 were isolated E. Results also showed the fungal count for sample A was 2.36X103, that of sample B was 1.23X103, C had 1.75X103; D, 1.12X103 while E had a count of 1.32X103. Number and percentages of occurrence of R. stolonifer, A. niger, P spp, M spp and C. candida were 12 and 28.57; 08 and 19.05; 07 and 16.67; 05 and 11.90; 10 and 23.81 respectively.

Abstract:
Cota J. Gay is belongs to Compositae (Asteraceae) family. Cota genus is represented by about 63 taxa in the world and is mainly distributed in Europe (excluding northern Europe), North Africa, Caucasia and Central Asia. In Turkey, the Cota genus include about 22 taxa, nine of which are endemic. Taxa of the Cota are mainly distributed and common in the Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian phytogeographic regions of Turkey. Cota was earlier classified as a section in the Anthemis L. genus in Flora of Turkey. After than the generic and infrageneric concepts of Anthemis were changed and Cota was accepted as another genus. Cota phitosiana Yıld. & Kılıç, a new species from Elazığ province, Karakoçan district, East Turkey, is described and photographed. Cota phitosiana is compared with the closest related species Cota tinctoria (L.) J.Gay. var. tinctoria. The speciation features of the new species is briefly discussed. Cota nigellifolia (Boiss.) Álv. Fern. and Vitales subsp. orientalis (Grierson) Yıld. is made a new combination.

Abstract:
People have employed numerous natural materials to cure ailments and to improve their health throughout history. For thousands of years, nature has provided medicinal agents, and an impressive number of modern medications have been isolated from natural sources, many of which are based on their use in traditional medicine. Ethnobotany is a larger discipline which is interested in all studies about the relationship between plants and people. Indigenous peoples have established their localized knowledge of medicinal plant use, management, and conservation through millennia. Medicinal and aromatic plants are being used for the treatment of various stomach ailments by the local peoples since earliest times. This paper consists of 287 plant taxa which are used for treatment stomach ailments in Turkey ethnobotany or traditional medicine. It is expected that this study will contribute to other studies on the subject.
