  1. 1. Setosphaeria turcica, fungal mating and plant defence

    Författare :Thomas Martin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : 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.

  3. 2. Context dependency of plant – animal interactions

    Författare :Malin A. E. König; Johan Ehrlén; Christer Wiklund; John Stinchcombe; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anthocharis cardamines; attack intensity; Cardamine pratensis; cytotype; herbivory; larval fitness; oviposition; phenology; plant-animal interactions; plant resistance; plant tolerance; polyploidy; spatial variation; trait variation; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The strength and direction of interactions between organisms vary spatially across the landscape. Traditionally, the focus has been on how trait variation affects the interactions between species. However, differences in abiotic and biotic environmental factors may also alter the distribution, phenology and behavior of the interacting species. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Plant-seed predator interactions – ecological and evolutionary aspects

    Författare :Hannah Östergård; Johan Ehrlén; Peter Hambäck; William Kunin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; apparent competition; community context; fruit abortion; defence; host range; monophagous; offence; oligophagous; plant-animal interactions; pre-dispersal seed predation; selection; spatio-temporal variation; Biology; Biologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Plant-animal interactions are affected by both abundance and distribution of interacting species and the community context in which they occur. However, the relative importance of these factors is poorly known. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Defence related molecular signalling in Potato : new perspectives from “- Omics”

    Författare :Dharani Burra; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Potato production is hampered by several pathogens and is subjected to intense chemical based disease control, use of which also has undesirable consequences. Resistance breeding programs have also shown limited success. Hence, there is a need to develop durable disease resistance. LÄS MER

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

    Författare :Muhammad Awais Zahid; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
