With recent methodological advances, molecular markers are increasingly used for semi-quantitative analyses of fungal communities. The aim to preserve quantitative relationships between genotypes through PCR places new demands on primers accurately match target sites and provide short amplicons. internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region the ribosome encoding genes is a commonly marker many groups. Here, we describe three - fITS7, gITS7 fITS9, which may be amplify ITS2 by targeting in 5.8S...
The fungicides used to control diseases in cereal production can have adverse effects on non-target fungi, with possible consequences for plant health and productivity. This study examined fungicide fungal communities winter wheat leaves two areas of Sweden. High-throughput 454 sequencing the ITS2 region yielded 235 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at species level from 18 fields studied. It was found that commonly had moderate but significant effect community composition phyllosphere....
Abstract Biological control , or biocontrol is the exploitation of living agents (incl. viruses) to combat pestilential organisms pathogens, pests, and weeds) for diverse purposes provide human benefits. Thus, during last century practices concepts involved have evolved in separate streams associated with distinct scientific taxonomic disciplines. In parallel developments, there been increasing references biological industrial contexts legislation, resulting conceptual terminological...
ABSTRACT Fusarium is a large and diverse genus of fungi great agricultural economic importance, containing many plant pathogens mycotoxin producers. To date, high-throughput sequencing communities has been limited by the lack genus-specific primers targeting regions with high discriminatory power at species level. In present study, we evaluated two -specific primer pairs translation elongation factor 1 (TEF1). We also new pair Fa+7/Ra+6. Mock reflecting phylogenetic diversity were used to...
Abstract Organic farming is often advocated as an approach to mitigate biodiversity loss on agricultural land. The phyllosphere provides a habitat for diverse fungal communities that are important plant health and productivity. However, it still unknown how organic affects the diversity of fungi in major crops. We sampled wheat leaves from 22 organically conventionally cultivated fields Sweden, paired based their geographical location cultivar. Fungal were described using amplicon sequencing...
To assess the effect of lateral episiotomy, compared with no on obstetric anal sphincter injury in nulliparous women requiring vacuum extraction.
Biodiversity plays multifaceted roles in societal development and ecological sustainability. In agricultural ecosystems, using biodiversity to mitigate plant diseases has received renewed attention recent years but our knowledge of the best ways control is still incomplete. term in-crop diversification, it not clear how genetic diversity per se host populations interacts with identifiable resistance other functional traits component genotypes disease epidemics what way structuring mixture...
Abstract Sustainable food production requires agriculture to conserve biodiversity and facilitate ecosystem services maintain productivity levels while reducing inputs detrimental functioning. Increasing within‐field vegetation diversity by legume intercropping seems promising cropping system multi‐functionality. Effects of with legumes on biodiversity‐mediated such as pollination or natural pest control are, however, not sufficiently understood. Using 26 observation plots in a paired field...
Abstract An understanding of the ecology plant pathogens is crucial for development agricultural and horticultural growing systems that enhance health. One important group organisms influences pathogen survival dispersal soil fauna. This review deals with known possible interactions between animals different groups fungal pathogens. It suggested facultative saprophytes may be affected considerably by mycelial grazing animals, while obligate more influenced ingest spores other types...
Leguminous cover crop and living mulch species show not only great potential for providing multiple beneficial services to agro-ecosystems, but may also present pathological risks other crops in rotations through shared pathogens, especially those of the genus Fusarium. Disease severity on roots subterranean clover, white winter summer vetch grown as across five European sites well frequency, distribution aggressiveness pea Fusarium spp. recovered from were assessed 2013 2014. symptoms very...
Germination of resting spores Plasmodiophora brassicae , causal agent clubroot in crucifers, may be stimulated by certain nonhost plants. Without a host plant to infect, such germination would lead reduced persistence the soil. The effect four plants on P. was investigated 3‐year field experiment and 14‐month glasshouse experiment. Three species used, leek ( Allium porrum ), winter rye Secale cereale ) perennial ryegrass Lolium perenne have been reported stimulate spore germination, while...
ABSTRACT Agricultural practices like tillage and cropping sequence have profound influence on soil-living plant-associated fungi, thereby plant growth. In a field experiment, we studied the effects of preceding crop fungal communities in soil young winter wheat roots relation to survival grain yield. We hypothesized that performance (described by amplicon sequencing) differ depending system crop; effect differs system, differences are reflected performance. line with our hypotheses, growth...
Oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus ) is a globally important crop which increasingly under pressure from pests, pathogens and weeds. We investigated the potential of achieving multifunctional protection benefits by intercropping oilseed with legumes. A field experiment was conducted in winter intercropped annual frost sensitive legumes berseem clover ( Trifolium alexandrinum or spring faba bean Vicia ), grain peas Pisum sativum ). tracked damage to autumn pests (slugs insects), pathogens,...
