  2. 1. Controlling Fusarium Head Blight in oat

    Author : Alfia Khairullina; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; FHB; oat; UDP-glucosyltransferase; deoxynivalenol; mycotoxins; biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea; Fusarium head blight; Fusarium graminearum; endophytes;

    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

  4. 2. Mechanism of Action of the Plant Growth Promoting Bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa

    Author : Salme Timmusk; Gerhart Wagner; Janet Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; Plant growth promotion; Induced resistance; Biocontrol; Deleterious rhizobacterium; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

    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

  5. 3. Tracking the fate of biocontrol microorganisms in the environment using intrinsic SCAR markers

    Author : Anna-Ida Johnsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    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.

  6. 4. A study of the traits associated with the biocontrol activity of Phlebiopsis gigantea

    Author : Anthony Christian Mgbeahuruike; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    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

  7. 5. Molecular interactions between quinoa, the biocontrol agent Trichoderma and the pathogen Peronospora variabilis

    Author : Oscar Miguel Rollano Penaloza; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chenopodium quinoa; Peronospora variabilis; Trichoderma harzianum; Molecular interactions; qRT-PCR; RNA-seq; Plant growth promotion; Chenopodium quinoa; Peronospora variabilis; Trichoderma harzianum; RNA-seq; qRT-PCR; molekylära interaktioner;

    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
