  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. Beyond the Bubbles : a Study of Fungal Diversity and Gushing in Beer Production

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

    Author : Alexander Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fusarium Head Blight; Fungal communities; Metabarcoding; Amplicon sequencing Malting barley; Gushing; Pink kernels; Random forests;

    Abstract : Gushing, violent and spontaneous over-foaming of beer, is a well-known quality reducing phenomenon encountered in the brewing industry. The present study investigated the impact of fungal contamination in barley grains, specifically focusing on gushing and the occurrence of pink kernels. READ MORE

  4. 3. Impact of vegetation mycorrhizal type on fungal community composition in arctic tundra

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Leah Kirchhoff; [2021]
    Keywords : arctic climate change; shrubification; fungal metabarcoding; ectomycorrhiza; ericoid mycorrhiza;

    Abstract : on the effects of vegetation and associated changes on above and below-ground processes in tundra soils. In a sub-arctic alpine tundra heath, vegetation composition was manipulated by removing plant species with certain mycorrhizal associations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biological control of fungal diseases in a forest nursery : impact on the fungal community, species abundance and some fungal pathogens

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

    Author : Elin Persson; [2020]
    Keywords : biological control; forest nursery; fungal communities; pathogens; metabarcoding;

    Abstract : There is a large production of regeneration material in Sweden, where modernization and new technologies have made it possible to produce a large number of high-quality seedlings. To provide the whole forestry sector with seedlings for regeneration, forest nurseries must as well make sure that the management generate healthy seedlings. READ MORE
