  1. 1. Functional Characterisation of Effectors from Biotrophic and Necrotrophic Wheat Pathogens in Heterologous Expression Systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Mark Melchior; [2023]
    Keywords : wheat; Blumeria graminis; Parastagonospora nodorum; effectors;

    Abstract : Effector proteins play an important role in the interactions between fungal pathogens and their host plant. Recognition of effectors can lead to localised cell death in plants. The necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum utilises this mechanism to induce cell death in wheat and cause Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB). READ MORE

  3. 2. The role of P25 interacting transcriptional regulator VIP1 in activation of transcription.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Asma Kanon Hashi; [2022]
    Keywords : Rhizomania; BNYVV; expression clones; virulence factor P25; transcription; transient gene expression; VIP1 plant protein;

    Abstract : Rhizomania, caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), has been considered as an economically important disease around the world because of the extreme reduction in sugar beet yield and sugar content in affected plants. The spread of rhizomania all over the world, including the emergence of resistance- breaking virus isolates, have been become a major concern for the plant pathologists and plant breeders aiming at improving sugar beet resistance to   BNYVV as well as better understanding sugar beet-virus interactions during disease development.

  4. 3. Regulation of Plant Defense Genes Against Bacterial Pathogens

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Jenny Sjöström; [2021]
    Keywords : plant defense; PTI; FLS2; SERK1; regulation; växtförsvar; PTI; FLS2; SERK1; reglering;

    Abstract : Sjukdom på grödor orsakad av bakterier kan bidra till ekonomiska förluster för bönder samt brist på mat, därför är det viktigt att utveckla nya hållbara sätt att motverka och behandla grödor mot bakterier. Idag är det mest vanliga tillvägagångssättet antibiotika men detta är inte hållbart p.g.a uppkomst av antibiotikaresistens. READ MORE

  5. 4. A molecular analysis of the interaction between the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea and the cereal pathogen F. graminearum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Esther Kuper; [2021]
    Keywords : Agrobacterium- mediated transformation; Biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea;

    Abstract : Modern agriculture is increasingly challenged by newly emerging crop diseases- many of them caused by fungal pathogens. At the same time, excessive application of chemical fungicides accelerates the development of resistant pathogen strains and may cause harmful effects on non-target organisms. READ MORE

  6. 5. Expression and characterization of phytoglobin genes from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Axel Carl-Vilhelm Ögell Benediktsson; [2016]
    Keywords : phytoglobin; hemoglobin; transient expression; characterization; BvHb1.1; BvHb1.2;

    Abstract : Phytoglobin is a plant globin protein similar to hemoglobin, which is found in all vertebrates. Phytoglobin is categorized depending on its origin and characteristics into 6 different classes: phytoglobin class 0, phytoglobin class 1, phytoglobin class 2, symbiotic phytoglobin, legphytoglobin and phytoglobin class 3.
