  1. 11. 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

  3. 12. Evaluation of bee-vectored Aureobasidium pullulans for biocontrol of grey mould in strawberry

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Matilda Jützeler; [2021]
    Keywords : Aureobasidium pullulans; biocontrol; Bombus terrestris; Botrytis cinerea; entomovectoring; fungal disease; strawberry;

    Abstract : The fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea causes grey mould in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) inflicting great yield loss and significant economic loss. To date, spraying with chemical fungicides is the primary management practice to control this disease. READ MORE

  4. 13. Detection of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using qPCR assay and comparison between three qPCR systems to check sensitivity

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Neeraj Patil; [2021]
    Keywords : Sclerotinia sclerotiorum; Stem rot disease; fungi; oilseed rape; plant pathogen; absolute quantification; real-time PCR; qPCR; detection; PCR sensitivity;

    Abstract : Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogenic fungus that infects around 400 species of host    plants. Stem rot disease caused by this fungus is economically disastrous for Brassica napus cultivators in Sweden. Due to the lack of disease resistant cultivars, disease management has been solely dependent on fungicide application. READ MORE

  5. 14. Arbuscular mycorrhiza in landrace and modern wheat : its impact on plant performance and how it is influenced by plant breeding and modern cropping practices

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Klara Yngve; [2020]
    Keywords : arbuscular mycorrhiza; landrace varieties; modern cultivars; wheat; conventional cropping systems; organic cropping systems;

    Abstract : Modern agriculture has a negative impact on climate and environment and is challenged by climate change. A transition to a more sustainable, secure and yet high food production is necessary. Landrace cereals attract attention for their ability to sustain nutrient deficiency, drought and harsh climate conditions. READ MORE

  6. 15. Combining biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea with chemical fungicides – for integrated management of Fusarium foot/root rot

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

    Author : Sebastian Bengtsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Biocontrol agent; Clonostachys rosea; Fusarium culmorum; Fusarium graminearum; prothioconazole; Proline; Fusarium foot root rot; ; Integrated pest management;

    Abstract : Fungal plant diseases have typically been controlled by the application of chemical pesticides. However, excessive use of chemical pesticides may produce undesirable side effects including fungicides tolerance in pathogens and environmental problems, if not handled correct. READ MORE
