    Abstract : Phytopathogens account for a large portion of the yield loss in the world today. Developing sustainable strategies to limit their effect for increasing food safety and security is one of important challenge for agriculture and horticulture production systems. READ MORE

  3. 17. Identification of spectral features differentiating fungal strains in infrared absorption spectroscopic images

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Dejan Stancevic; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : There are many unknowns regarding the interaction between fungi and their surroundings. In this project, we took a closer look at hyperspectral images of several fungal strains on two different substrates. The project mainly consisted of developing a code for the classification of fungal strains and the extraction of information from it. READ MORE

  4. 18. Microbial ecosystem analysis of biochar-enriched soil in Kenya using microfluidic soil models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik
