  1. 11. Evaluation of the antagonistic activity of Rhodotorula babjevae and its extracellular compounds towards postharvest pathogens

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula babjevae; PEFA; postharvest pathogens; yeast; mold;

    Abstract : The growing population ultimately puts pressure on the food industry to become more effi-cient and to reduce postharvest food waste. The leading method of reducing postharvest decay of fruits has been through fungicide application. READ MORE

  3. 12. Impact of plant ecotype on Bacillus-mediated growth promotion : extending beyond the standard model plant

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Staffan Matzén; [2018]
    Keywords : bacillus; growth promotion; root exudates; volatiles;

    Abstract : This study investigated how bacterial treatment modulates plant growth. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens UCMB5113 was used for treatment of several different natural accessions (ecotypes) as well as mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana. Treatment effect on plant root architecture was studied in particular. READ MORE

  4. 13. Deciphering mechanisms of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens mediated priming of plant growth and defense responses

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Anna Törnkvist; [2017]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens UCMB5113; biocontrol; brassinosteroids; induced systemic resistance; priming;

    Abstract : Beneficial bacteria colonizing plant roots are capable of mediating improved plant growth and enhanced defense responses against biotic and abiotic stresses. Such colonization has been suggested to accumulate brassinosteroid (BR) levels but the mechanisms behind this is not yet completely understood. READ MORE

  5. 14. Functional analysis of polyketide synthases in the biocontrol fungus Clonosthachys rosea

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

    Author : Umma Fatema; [2017]
    Keywords : biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea; gene deletion; polyketide synthase; secondary metabolites;

    Abstract : Clonostachys rosea, a filamentous ascomycete, is a well-known biological control agent (BCA) against a wide range of plant pathogenic fungi. Genome sequencing revealed that C. rosea strain IK726 possess 32 genes encoding for polyketide synthases (PKS), which is significantly higher than the more studied biocontrol fungi Trichoderma.

  6. 15. Biological control of thrips with Neoseiulus cucumeris and Orius majusculus in strawberry tunnels

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

    Author : Robin Kalenius; [2016]
    Keywords : thrips; Neoseiulus cucumeris; Orius majusculus; strawberry; tunnels; resistance; IPM; IGP;

    Abstract : Several cases of thrips resistance to pesticides have been observed due to heavy usage of insecticides during the seventies-eighties. Thrips complex enzyme metabolic detoxification system and fast reproduction has lead to a classification of major pest in strawberry production. READ MORE
