  1. 1. Exploring the diversity and distribution of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oilseed rape through molecular techniques

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Lamiya Tabussum; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a fungus with a broad host range, causes plant diseases, while its closely related counterpart, Sclerotinia subarctica, has a more limited host range and prefers colder environments. Sclerotinia stem rot is a disease caused by the fungus, leading to economic losses for farmers. READ MORE

  3. 2. The diversity of fungi in coniferous forests and mixed forests

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Ida Asplund; [2023]
    Keywords : Forest type; coniferous forest; mixed forest; fungi; fungal diversity; mycorrhiza; saprotrothic fungi; parasites; parasitic fungi; Skogstyp; barrskog; blandskog; svampar; svampdiversitet; svampmångfald; mykorrhiza; saprotrofiska svampar; parasiter; parasitiska svampar;

    Abstract : The fungal domain has one of the highest biodiversities among eukaryotes and species within the domain fill important ecological roles, such as mutualistic mycorrhiza, decomposers, parasites and pathogens. The development of forest ecosystems and their related processes has not only been linked to fungal diversity but the composition and abundance of fungi benefits the abundance and diversity of other species as well.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : August Hedberg; Julian Säflund; [2023]
    Keywords : primary succession; succession; ectomycorrhiza; saprotroph; tree growth; Pinus sylvestris; soil fungi;

    Abstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE

  6. 5. Ectomycorrhizal fungi community shift along gradient from forest to clearcut : two field seasons after harvest of old growth Scots pine forests

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

    Author : Linda Johannesson; [2023]
    Keywords : biodiversity; ectomycorrhiza; retention trees; ; fungi; clearcutting;

    Abstract : It is known that the number of ECM decline and the community composition is altered by clearcutting. This study aims to investigate impacts at a more detailed scale. READ MORE
