  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Endophytic fungi in living trees - are communities affected more by tree species, tree age, or geographic origin?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lisen Källman; [2022-08-16]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous in living vascular plants and have been identified in most terrestrial environments. The endophytes may have various ecological roles such as commensals, symbionts and latent invaders. READ MORE

  4. 3. Kan tillsats av ett kommersiellt inokulum öka koloniseringen av mykorrhiza och förbättra växters vigör? : en undersökning av växters fenotyp i samband med arbuskulär mykorrhiza i besksöta (Solanum dulcamara)

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

    Author : Loka Cehlin Norrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Solanum dulcamara; besksöta; mykorrhiza; AM; DSE; Inokulering; genotyp; fenotyp; friland; odlingskammare;

    Abstract : Vi lever i en evigt föränderlig värld där dagens miljöförändringar i samband med en ökad population ställer höga krav på våra bönder att producera starka och motståndskraftiga grödor. Ett sätt att bemöta dessa problem kan vara att använda sig av naturliga biostimulanter i sin odling som förbättrar växternas allmänna tillstånd. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of various nutrient media on the captured diversity of culturable seed endophytes in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kinga Stolarek; [2022]
    Keywords : fungal endophytes; seeds-associated fungi; Fagus sylvatica L; nutrient media; tree pathogens;

    Abstract : The associations of fungal endophytes with trees are poorly understood, especially within tree seeds. Recent molecular studies show that tree seeds harbour highly diverse fungal communities, including potential plant pathogens that could be introduced to new areas when seeds are exchanged. READ MORE

  6. 5. Choke disease in timothy : seed borne disease and mycotoxins

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

    Author : Olof Sundström; [2020]
    Keywords : timothy; Phleum pratense; Epichloë; stroma; stromata; seeds; microscopy; mycotoxins; alkaloids; ergovaline; lolitrem B;

    Abstract : Epichloë spp. and their asexual state, formerly named Neotyphodium, are endophytes of the phylum Ascomycota that are symbionts of cool-season grasses. There has been an estimation that one third of all cool-season grass species all over the world are associated with these endophytes. READ MORE
