  1. 6. Endofytiska svampar i vallgräs - levnadssätt, förekomst och effekter på gräs och gräsätare

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Agricultural Research for Northern Sweden

    Author : Caroline Jöngren; [2014]
    Keywords : endofytiska svampar; Neotyphodium; Epichloë; vallgräs;

    Abstract : De endofytiska svampsläktena Neotyphodium och Epichloë tillhör svampdivisionen Ascomycota och har utvecklats tillsammans med, och lever inuti, gräsarter i tempererade delar av världen. Även om svampen parasiterar på gräsplantan kan gräset dra nytta av svampens närvaro då den skyddar mot insektsangrepp och kan ge gräset förbättrad tillväxt. READ MORE

  3. 7. Gene expression of ABC-transporters in the fungal biocontrol agent Clonostachys rosea in response to anti-fungal metabolites from Pseudomonas chlororaphis

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

    Author : Jinhui Wang; [2012]
    Keywords : Funagal biocontrol; ABC-transporters; Clonostachys rosea; Psedomonas chlororaphis;

    Abstract : Clonostachys rosea strain IK726 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain MA342 are two active biological control microbes against many seed and soil-borne plant diseases. A combination mixture between C. rosea IK726 and P. READ MORE

  4. 8. Comparative analyses of Defense gene expression in Norway spruce sapwood

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

    Author : Sophie Rommel; [2012]
    Keywords : Norway spruce; Sapwood; Gene expression;

    Abstract : As the most important species in Europe’s forest industry, Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] has a very high economical impact. Unfortunately, the forest industry has yearly losses of approximately 800 million euro, because many Norway spruce stands suffer infection by one of the tree’s major pathogens Heterobasidion parviporum (Fr.

  5. 9. Myrosinase activity in microorganisms and its possible health benefits for humans & potential antibacterial effect of marine biological waste products

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Caroline Ingman; [2009]
    Keywords : myrosinase; glucosinolates; cancer; glucosinolate degradation; antibiotic resistance; marine; new antibiotic targets;

    Abstract : Cancer is an illness that affects countless persons, either they themselves are afflicted or someone in their vicinity is. Research has shown that when glucosinolates – secondary metabolites in plants from the Brassicaceae family – are degraded in the stomach of animals via the enzyme (myrosinase), their metabolites can counteract the formation of tumour cells.

  6. 10. Potential use of Rhizobium spp. to improve growth of non-nitrogen fixing plants

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil Sciences

    Author : Md. Shakhawat Hossain; [2007]
    Keywords : nitrogen fixation; plant growth promoting bacteria; rhizosphere interactions; soil biology;

    Abstract : Plant growth promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR) affect plant growth by producing and releasing secondary metabolites (plant growth regulators/phytohormones/biologically active substances), facilitating the availability and uptake of certain nutrients from the root environment and inhibiting plant pathogenic organisms in the rhizosphere. At the same time, plants produce root exudates containing e. READ MORE
