1. Controlling Fusarium Head Blight in oat
Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) is a versatile crop grown worldwide for animal feed and human consumption. Humanoat consumption has recently risen due to its various health benefits. However, oats are susceptible toFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by various Fusarium fungi. FHB reduces yield and leads to mycotoxinaccumulation. READ MORE

2. Mechanism of Action of the Plant Growth Promoting Bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa
Abstract : Paenibacillus polymyxa belongs to the group of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Activities associated with P. polymyxa-treatment of plants in earlier experiments include, e.g. READ MORE

3. Tracking the fate of biocontrol microorganisms in the environment using intrinsic SCAR markers
Abstract : Biocontrol microorganisms can be used as an alternative to conventional chemical pesticides to control plant diseases. This thesis investigated the fate and behaviour of three microbial model control agents with effect against fungal pathogens in cropping systems, and the spread of one of the model strains in bioaerosols.

4. A study of the traits associated with the biocontrol activity of Phlebiopsis gigantea
Abstract : Phlebiopsis gigantea has routinely been used for the biocontrol of the conifer pathogen, Heterobasidion annosum s.l. but the mechanism for the biocontrol action has not been properly understood. In the present work, 64 isolates of P. READ MORE

5. Molecular interactions between quinoa, the biocontrol agent Trichoderma and the pathogen Peronospora variabilis
Abstract : Plants have developed complex molecular mechanisms to recognize and respond to the different microorganisms present in their surroundings. The most studied response mechanisms are plant defense responses. These defense response mechanisms share many similar components with the plant response mechanisms to beneficial microbes. READ MORE
