  1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

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

    Author : Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

    Abstract : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. READ MORE

  3. 2. Foliar fungal communities of naturally regenerated and nursery-produced Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings

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

    Author : Sara López Fernández; [2023]
    Keywords : Endophytes; high-throughput sequencing; foliar fungi; forest nursery; fungal community; fungal pathogens; metabarcoding; mycobiome; Pinus sylvestris; pine seedlings; Scots pine needles;

    Abstract : Endophytic fungal communities living in leaves of trees can have a significant impact on their hosts,showing both beneficial and detrimental effects. Some mutualistic fungal species protect the host against pathogens or herbivores, while pathogenic species can increase the vulnerability of the host against biotic and abiotic stresses. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigating fungicide resistance of Alternaria solani, a Solanaceae pathogen, on potato crops in south-eastern Sweden and its relationship with soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Emma Lefèvre; [2023]
    Keywords : Alternaria solani; fungicide resistance; Fluopyram; mycelial growth; type of soil; soil conditions;

    Abstract : Alternaria solani is a worldwide present fungus that can cause a lot of damage such as early blight in potato crops. Potato can suffer a lot of yield losses because of this pathogen, and the main method used today to fight against it, is the application of fungicides. READ MORE

  5. 4. Växtnäringens betydelse i förebyggandet av svampsjukdomar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Julia Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fungicider; gödning; gödslingsstrategi; IPM; växtskydd;

    Abstract : Svampsjukdomar kan orsaka stora problem och skördeförluster inom växtodlingen. Därför används fungicider för att bekämpa svamparna och skydda grödan. Fungicider kan dock vara skadliga för andra organismer och därmed störa ekosystem och den biologiska mångfalden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Temporal trends of 4-Hydroxychlorothalonil in maternal serum samples, 1997-2015

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Elin Wällstedt; [2023]
    Keywords : Biomonitoring; human exposure effects; environmental exposure; fungicide; pregnancy; pregnant women; chlorothalonil; CHT; 4-hydroxy-chlorothalonil; 4-OH-CHT; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. READ MORE
