  1. 6. Detection of root borne pathogen causing pea root rot by using minion sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Aderemi Olubode; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most cultivated pulse in the temperate zone, economically important with high nutritional value (high protein content of 20-30%) and relatively low cost. Root rot is its predominant disease, it is referred to as root rot complex because it involves many pathogens. READ MORE

  3. 7. Material Experience Mycelium-Based Composite : Study of local biodegradable materials in combination with Mycelium

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

    Author : Emelie Kjellqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Mycelium; Mycelium Based Composite; MBC; Fungi; Material Drive Design; MDD; Mycologi; Material Experience; Lignocellulose;

    Abstract : Mycelium-based composite (MBC) is being developed and researched in multiple commercial markets as an alternative sustainable material. MBC utilizes the mycelium ability to create a web-like structure in lignocellulosic structures. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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

  5. 9. Forest fertilization does not cause any long-term effects on tree growth or vegetation composition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Yixian Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : density; ground vegetation; height; stem radial growth; legacy nitrogen effect; soil total N and C N ratio; tree;

    Abstract : Forest fertilization is considered one of the most effective management options to improve forest productivity. In Fennoscandia, nitrogen (N) fertilization has been practiced for over 50 years and is normally added in the form of granules of NH4NO3 at least 15 years prior to the final harvest. READ MORE

  6. 10. 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.
