Carol Kälin defends her thesis 'Aphanomyces root rot in pea : genomic insights into pathogen diversity and disease resistance'! Read it here: publications.slu.se/?file=publ/sho…

The majority of all known pathogens to global food production will thrive and reproduce faster in a warmer climate.
– The question is not if problems with pathogens in food production will increase, but how large they will become, says Anna Berlin

Where and when does the spruce bark beetle attack? Petter Öhrn has investigated this as well as the spruce's defense capacity in his doctoral thesis.
– It is particularly important for forest owners to find and remove infested trees in June.

Sara Hallin is one of five Wallenberg Scholars at SLU. This means that she is given a generous contributions to independent research. Sara will investigate interactions and processes of microbes, keys to understanding the soil's nitrogen turnover.

📢The deadline for application is tomorrow. Don't miss your chance!

💡 Did you know that nematodes are little worms highly abundant in forests, grasslands, and agricultural soils? In fact, they are among the most numerous soil organisms, with densities reaching up to 3 to 4 million per square meter. 🪱

Carol Källin has nailed her thesis 'Aphanomyces root rot in pea : genomic insights into pathogen diversity and disease resistance' 🫛🥳💚✨
She will defend her thesis 5 April, more info here: slu.se/en/ew-calendar…

Peas often suffer from root rot caused by the water mold Aphanomyces euteiches. In her doctoral thesis, Carol Kälin has investigated how root rot in peas can be combated with resistant pea varieties
