2. 1. Identification and characterisation of five innate immune genes in the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni

   Author : Annika Lundström; Lage Cerenius; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

   Abstract : When insects are infected with bacteria, they respond by producing a range of different antibacterial peptides and by activating protease cascades leading to coagulation and melanisation. Cellular defence mechanisms are also involved in killing of microorganisms through phagocytosis and encapsulation. READ MORE

4. 2. Ecology of parasitoids and their hosts in oilseed rape fields

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; parasitoids; herbivores; oilseed rape; pollen beetle; cabbage stem weevil; parasitoid community; niche separation; landscape scale; community composition; landscape configuration; Species abundance distribution SAD models; dispersal; metacommunity;

   Abstract : Oilseed rape fields are a very common crop in the agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, and they can harbour surprisingly many insect species. Some of them are herbivores that feed on various parts of the oilseed rape plant, others are natural enemies of the herbivores, and even more species are tourists from the surrounding landscape.

5. 3. Biological control strategies against the cabbage root fly Delia radicum : effect of predators, parasitoids and pathogens

   Author : Linda-Marie Rännbäck; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Contemporary intensified agroecosystems are contributing to a reduction in natural enemy (NE) populations. In conservation biological control (CBC), NEs are favoured by providing supporting resources. CBC could be complemented with inoculation biological control (IBC) to enhance the effect of NEs.

7. 5. Process efficiency in black soldier fly larvae composting of plant-based food industry waste

   Author : Lovisa Lindberg; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) composting, in which biodegradable wastes are converted into animal-feed protein, is a technology that meets circular economy principles. The greatest potential BSFL composting is for mixed food waste, but only plant-based waste is permitted as feed for the larvae. READ MORE
