  2. 21. Resistance against fruit tree canker in apple : evaluation of disease symptoms, histopathological and RNA-seq analyses in different cultivars, genetic variation of Neonectria ditissima

    Author : Marjan Ghasemkhani; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Neonectria ditissima (formerly Neonectria galligena, anamorph Cylindrocarpon heteronema) is the causal agent of fruit tree canker, which is regarded as a serious economic problem in apple production. This fungus is closely associated with mild and wet conditions, and climate therefore has an important impact on its geographic distribution. READ MORE

  4. 22. Triterpenes and phenolic compounds in apple fruit (Malus domestica Borkh.) : variation due to cultivar, sun exposure, rootstock, harvest maturity, bruising, fungi inoculation, ozone treatment and storage conditions

    Author : Yanrong Lv; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.), a popular and widely cultivated fruit world-wide, contains bioactive triterpenes and phenolic compounds with potentially valuable pharmacological functions. This thesis investigated the effects of pre-harvest and postharvest factors on concentrations of these bioactive compounds in apples. READ MORE

  5. 23. Genetic variation in resistance to fungal storage diseases in apple : inoculation-based screening, transcriptomics and biochemistry

    Author : Masoud Ahmadi Afzadi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Apple is one of the economically and culturally most important fruit crops and has many health-related benefits. Apple production is, however, sensitive to several fungal diseases including blue mold, caused by Penicillium expansum. READ MORE

  6. 24. Towards a Sustainable Food System : Entrepreneurship, Resilience and Agriculture in the Baltic Sea Region

    Author : Markus Larsson; Rebecka Milestad; Höjer Mattias; Thomas Hahn; Lars Drake; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sustainable agriculture; eutrophication; Baltic Sea; entrepreneurship; resilience; sustainable food system; Hållbart jordbruk; övergödning; Östersjön; entreprenörskap; resiliens; hållbart livsmedelssystem; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis compares conventional agriculture and Ecological Recycling Agriculture (ERA) in terms of their environmental and socio-economic effects. Environmental effects include greenhouse gas emissions and energy use, but this analysis focuses on nutrient losses. READ MORE

  7. 25. External Mycelia of Mycorrhizal Fungi - responses to elevated N in forest ecosystems

    Author : Lars Ola Nilsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ericoid; arbuscular; mycorrhiza; nitrogen; deposition; fertilisation; nitrate leaching; retention; field; forest; Quercus; deciduous; Plant ecology; Växtekologi; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; mycology; Microbiology; External mycelia; ectomycorrhiza; Mikrobiologi; bacteriology; virology;

    Abstract : Most plants live in symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal roots constitute the interface between the plant and the soil, and almost every fine root of forest trees in nitrogen-limited boreal and temperate forests is colonised by ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. READ MORE
