  1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

    Abstract : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigating fungicide resistance of Alternaria solani, a Solanaceae pathogen, on potato crops in south-eastern Sweden and its relationship with soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Emma Lefèvre; [2023]
    Keywords : Alternaria solani; fungicide resistance; Fluopyram; mycelial growth; type of soil; soil conditions;

    Abstract : Alternaria solani is a worldwide present fungus that can cause a lot of damage such as early blight in potato crops. Potato can suffer a lot of yield losses because of this pathogen, and the main method used today to fight against it, is the application of fungicides. READ MORE

  4. 3. Temporal trends of 4-Hydroxychlorothalonil in maternal serum samples, 1997-2015

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Elin Wällstedt; [2023]
    Keywords : Biomonitoring; human exposure effects; environmental exposure; fungicide; pregnancy; pregnant women; chlorothalonil; CHT; 4-hydroxy-chlorothalonil; 4-OH-CHT; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Fungicide tolerance in Phytophthora infestans

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

    Author : Nadja Kvick Nastaj; [2023]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; Fungicide tolerance; Fungicide dose;

    Abstract : For the last 180 years, the pathogen P infestans, responsible for the late blight disease, has been a severe problem for farmers. Despite the large efforts and financial investments done in the management of the disease, 15-30% of the potato production is lost to this disease globally each year. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fungicide resistance against fluopyram in Alternaria solani

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Felicia Ekdahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluopyram; Alternaria solani; early blight; potato; Solanum tuberusum;

    Abstract : Early blight in potato production can be devastating and to minimize crop damage the use of fungicides has been the key. New fungicides called the SDHIs have been used against the early blight pathogen, Alternaria Solani in potato fields to reduce yield losses. READ MORE
