  1. 1. Functional characterization of sterol regulatory element transcription factors in the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Författare :Alma Gustavsson Ruus; [2022]
    Nyckelord :SREBP; Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein; Sterol regulatory element transcription factor; INSIG; SCAP; Clonostachys rosea; biological control; hypoxia; antagonism; Botrytis cinerea; Fusarium graminearum; Boscalid; Proline; prothioconazole; Integrated Pest Management;

    Sammanfattning : Phytopathogens account for a large portion of the yield loss in the world today. Developing sustainable strategies to limit their effect for increasing food safety and security is one of important challenge for agriculture and horticulture production systems. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Can the northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, be controlled by the fungus Clonostachys rosea? : an experimental study

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Författare :Jesper Fritzson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Biological control; ; Carrot; Clonostachys rosea; Drought; Lettuce; Meloidogyne hapla; Nematodes; Pot experiment;

    Sammanfattning : The northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is causing great economical losses to growers worldwide. There is a need for alternative control measures that are environmentally sustainable and effective against the nematode. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Evaluation of bee-vectored Aureobasidium pullulans for biocontrol of grey mould in strawberry

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Författare :Matilda Jützeler; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Aureobasidium pullulans; biocontrol; Bombus terrestris; Botrytis cinerea; entomovectoring; fungal disease; strawberry;

    Sammanfattning : The fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea causes grey mould in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) inflicting great yield loss and significant economic loss. To date, spraying with chemical fungicides is the primary management practice to control this disease. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cellobiose dehydrogenase from Clonostachys rosea: Production, purification and activity analysis

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Författare :Terese Larsson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :cellobiose dehydrogenase; CDH; Clonostachys rosea; DCIP assay;

    Sammanfattning : Biological control agents are a promising niche to replace chemical pesticides for treating plant pathogens in agriculture. A potential biocontrol agent is the microparasitic fungi Clonostachys rosea which has the ability to attack various plant pathogens such as other fungi and nematodes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evaluation of in vitro antagonism assays in the mycoparasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Författare :Victor Olsson; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Biocontrol; Biocontrol agent; Clonostachys rosea; Fusarium gramine-arum;

    Sammanfattning : Fungicide use is the dominant direct method to control fungal pathogens on crops in agriculture. While effective, excessive use of them can be harmful to biodiversity and lead to fungicide resistance in pathogen populations. Biocontrol is an alternative where natural antagonistic organisms, called biocontrol agents (BCA), are used to protect crops. LÄS MER
