  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. 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

  5. 4. Fungal endophyte communities in declining and vital oak (Quercus robur L.) trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Baiba Matule; [2018]
    Keywords : endophytic fungi diversity; forest microbiome; morphological identification of fungi; Quercus robur L.; plant-endophyte interaction;

    Abstract : The role of microbiome in tree health is receiving increasing interest in forest pathology research. This study focuses on the abundance and diversity of fungal endophytes in pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) differentiating in vitality. READ MORE

  6. 5. Värdspecifitet och diversitet av svampendofyter hos Fraxinus excelsior och Acer pseudoplatanus

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

    Author : Alva Anderberg; [2016]
    Keywords : endofyter; Fraxinus excelsior; ask; Acer pseudoplatanus; sykomorlönn; svampsamhällen; värdspecifitet; biologisk mångfald;

    Abstract : Efter askskotts- och almsjukans snabba framfart står det klart att svampsjukdomar inom loppet av ett decennium kan få mångfalden i svenska skogar att se fundamentalt annorlunda ut. Skogsbruket och naturvården saknar två av tidigare alternativ för föryngring av ädellövskog. READ MORE
