  1. 1. Detection of root borne pathogen causing pea root rot by using minion sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Aderemi Olubode; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most cultivated pulse in the temperate zone, economically important with high nutritional value (high protein content of 20-30%) and relatively low cost. Root rot is its predominant disease, it is referred to as root rot complex because it involves many pathogens. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring the diversity and distribution of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oilseed rape through molecular techniques

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Lamiya Tabussum; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a fungus with a broad host range, causes plant diseases, while its closely related counterpart, Sclerotinia subarctica, has a more limited host range and prefers colder environments. Sclerotinia stem rot is a disease caused by the fungus, leading to economic losses for farmers. READ MORE

  4. 3. The diversity of fungi in coniferous forests and mixed forests

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Ida Asplund; [2023]
    Keywords : Forest type; coniferous forest; mixed forest; fungi; fungal diversity; mycorrhiza; saprotrothic fungi; parasites; parasitic fungi; Skogstyp; barrskog; blandskog; svampar; svampdiversitet; svampmångfald; mykorrhiza; saprotrofiska svampar; parasiter; parasitiska svampar;

    Abstract : The fungal domain has one of the highest biodiversities among eukaryotes and species within the domain fill important ecological roles, such as mutualistic mycorrhiza, decomposers, parasites and pathogens. The development of forest ecosystems and their related processes has not only been linked to fungal diversity but the composition and abundance of fungi benefits the abundance and diversity of other species as well.
