Common scab resistance in potato
Ngo, Thach-Truc (Master thesis, 2016-08-11)Common scab disease of potato is distributed worldwide and not easily controlled. It is caused by Streptomyces species. The virulence mechanism of Streptomyces species is the production of thaxtomin A. Although the disease ... -
Defense priming and epigenetic mechanisms in regulating resistance against Botrytis cinerea in strawberry
Haugland, Lisa Karine (Master thesis, 2018)Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic pathogen that is reported to cause disease in more than 1400 plant species. Each year the fungi cause yield losses of great economic importance and is the most important pathogen in ... -
Disease development of Chondrostereum purpureum in common Norwegian plum cultivars
Wennerberg, Mårten (Master thesis, 2021)Silver leaf disease, caused by the basidiomycete Chondrostereum purpureum, is a growing problem in Norwegian plum production. It affects the overall health and lifespan of the fruit trees. The inoculation experiments in ... -

Functional analyses of FvMYB46-CRISPR/Cas9-edited Fragaria vesca plants
Bjorå, Oskar Schnedler (Master thesis, 2021)One of the biggest humanitarian challenges in the world today is food security. Improving food production requires improvement in the productivity of existing crops. Plant diseases are major causators of crop yield losses, ... -
Functional characterization of putative disease resistance genes of strawberry
Poudel, Mandeep (Master thesis, 2021)The octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is highly valued horticultural crop. The fruit crop is often challenged by several phytopathogens including a hemibiotrophic oomycete, Phytophthora cactorum. The pathogen has ... -
Fungicide resistance and resistance dynamics in Botrytis populations in Norway
Nielsen, Katherine Ann Gredvig (PhD Thesis;2022:6, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Grey mould, caused by Botrytis spp., causes serious losses in agriculturally and economically important crops worldwide. Growers in Norway have experienced grey mould control problems, and fungicide resistance in the ... -
