Susceptibility of Oilseed Radish ( subsp. Cultivars and Various Brassica Crops to .

Oilseed radish (OR; var. ) is grown as a cover crop and develops a unique taproot, absorbing nitrogen left by the previous crop. The aim of this project was to investigate the resistance of OR cultivars (cvs.

Development of a PacBio Long-Read Sequencing Assay for High Throughput Detection of Fungicide Resistance in .

Fungicide resistance has become a challenging problem in management of Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by , the most destructive disease of winter wheat throughout western and northern Europe. To ensure the continued effectiveness of those fungicides currently used, it is essential to monitor the development and spread of such resistance in field populations of the pathogen. Since resistance to the key families of fungicides used for STB control (demethyalation inhibitors or azoles, succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors or SDHIs and Quinone outside Inhibitors or QoIs) is conferred through target-site mutations, the potential exists to monitor resistance through the molecular detection of alterations in the target site genes.

Influence of Soil-Borne Inoculum of Measured by qPCR on Disease Severity of Clubroot-Resistant Cultivars of Winter Oilseed Rape ( L.).

Use of resistant cultivars is considered the most effective tool in managing clubroot. Three clubroot-resistant commercial winter oilseed rape (OSR) cultivars and a susceptible 'Cultivar mix' were evaluated for disease severity index (DSI) and yield performance in field soils, selected for varying abundance of natural inoculum of . Seven field trials were carried out during 2017-2019 in winter OSR crops, and comparative bioassays were performed in a growth chamber.

Genetic diversity and occurrence of the F129L substitutions among isolates of in south-eastern Sweden.

Background: Early blight, caused by the fungus occurs on potato mainly in the south-eastern part of Sweden, but also in other parts of the country. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of populations from different potato growing regions in south-eastern Sweden using AFLP marker analysis. In addition, the cultured isolates were examined for substitutions in the gene encoding cytochrome , associated with loss of sensitivity against QoI fungicides.

The prevalence of dementia in 95 year olds.

The authors determined the prevalence of dementia in 338 (response rate 65%) 95-year-old persons, living in Göteborg, Sweden, and compared the result with a previously examined population sample of 85 year olds. The prevalence of dementia according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd rev. ed) was higher in women (55%) than in men (37%) at age 95, and the proportion of mild dementia and vascular dementia was lower in 95 than in 85 year olds.
