    Abstract : Verticillium spp. are soil-borne ascomycete fungi belonging to a subgroup of Sordariomycetes, and the three major plant pathogens Verticillium longisporum, V. dahliae and V. albo-atrum cause disease on numerous plant species worldwide. READ MORE

  4. 7. Setosphaeria turcica, fungal mating and plant defence

    Author : Thomas Martin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The heterothallic ascomycete Setosphaeria turcica (anamorph: Exserohlium turcicum) causes turcicum leaf blight on maize and sorghum. A survey was undertaken in Uganda to examine the sorghum – S. turcica interaction in terms of disease severity and incidence, overall fungal population structure, and new resistant resources.

  5. 8. Plant cell-inspiredmicrocontainers: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications

    Author : Thomas Paulraj; Anna Justina Svagan; Daniel Crespy; KTH; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Biomimetic materials have been inspiring mankind since a longtime for applications in a variety of fields. In particular, the production of lipidbasedvesicles have aided in our understanding of a variety of functions in animalcells, and also served as e.g. drug delivery systems and bioreactors. READ MORE

  6. 9. Haustoria regulation in the facultative parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum

    Author : Anna Kokla; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Parasitic plants are important agricultural pests that lead to considerable yield losses annually. Parasitic plants that completely rely on their hosts for their survival are known as obligatory parasites, whereas those independent of their hosts but parasitize under the right conditions are known as facultative parasitic plants.

  7. 10. Insights into potato plant immunity reveals Parakletos as a novel ROS suppressor

    Author : Muhammad Awais Zahid; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's third most commonly grown food crop with very high yield potential. However, its production is hampered by several pathogens, with consequent yield losses. Existing control methods include frequent, costly fungicide applications, and classical breeding is complicated in potato. READ MORE
