  1. 21. Exploration of ways to utilize wheat chaff through fungal substrate conversion : a base for animal feed or substrate for cultivation of edible mushrooms

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2022]
    Keywords : harvest residues; chaff; oyster mushroom; agro-waste reduction; mushroom production;

    Abstract : The shift towards a more sustainable food system emphasises a need for increased circularity and valorisation of available resources. Chaff constitutes one of three main fractions obtained upon harvest of certain crops, during which it is generally discarded on the field. READ MORE

  3. 22. Effects of plant-fungal interactions on volatile emission of Hordeum vulgare and aphid preference

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Bina Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : volatile organic compounds; chemical communication; Trichoderma atroviride; Fusarium graminearum; Rhopalosiphum padi; biological control;

    Abstract : Barley is one of the most economically important cultivated crops in the world. However, barley is a host for many insect pests and plant pathogenic fungi which is a threat to the production. Rhopalosiphum padi is an economically important insect pest that leads to large economical losses in agricultural crops such as barley. READ MORE

  4. 23. Forest structure of Dalby Söderskog National Park : patterns of carbon storage in living and dead trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kumetra Achuthan; [2021]
    Keywords : ash dieback disease; deadwood; Dutch elm disease; living tree volume; coarse woody debris; carbon stock and storage; pest invasions; temperate mixed broadleaved forest;

    Abstract : Carbon sequestration and storage is an ecosystem service supplied by forests, and is of increasing importance in the context of mitigation of global climate change. Forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalizations, represent a risk to the efficiency of carbon sequestration as they may greatly reduce the amount of the living biomass in forests.

    Abstract : Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici) is a crop disease caused by a fungus that regularly infects wheat and causes yield loss in Ethiopia. The disease has a significant impact on the country’s crop production, food security, health, and socioeconomic well-being. READ MORE

  6. 25. A molecular analysis of the interaction between the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea and the cereal pathogen F. graminearum

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

    Author : Esther Kuper; [2021]
    Keywords : Agrobacterium- mediated transformation; Biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea;

    Abstract : Modern agriculture is increasingly challenged by newly emerging crop diseases- many of them caused by fungal pathogens. At the same time, excessive application of chemical fungicides accelerates the development of resistant pathogen strains and may cause harmful effects on non-target organisms. READ MORE
