6. Evaluation of in vitro antagonism assays in the mycoparasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Fungicide use is the dominant direct method to control fungal pathogens on crops in agriculture. While effective, excessive use of them can be harmful to biodiversity and lead to fungicide resistance in pathogen populations. Biocontrol is an alternative where natural antagonistic organisms, called biocontrol agents (BCA), are used to protect crops. READ MORE

7. Combining biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea with chemical fungicides – for integrated management of Fusarium foot/root rot
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Fungal plant diseases have typically been controlled by the application of chemical pesticides. However, excessive use of chemical pesticides may produce undesirable side effects including fungicides tolerance in pathogens and environmental problems, if not handled correct. READ MORE

8. Functional analysis of polyketide synthases in the biocontrol fungus Clonosthachys rosea
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : 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.

9. Endophytic growth of Clonostachys rosea in tomato and Arabidopsis
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : In the future, an increased food demand together with restrictions of pesticide use will require new options of disease management within agriculture. Usage of biological control agents (BCAs) is a feasible alternative. For example, BCAs may reduce pathogen attacks in plants by induced resistance. READ MORE

10. Biologisk bekämpning av Fusarium graminearum
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Fusarium graminearum causes reduction in both yield and quality in cereal grain worldwide. One of the diseases it can cause is Fusarium Head Blight (FHB). Both sexually and asexually produced spores can infect living plants. Asexual conidia are produced in the mycelium while sexual ascospores form in asci in perithecia on debris. READ MORE
