Effect of abiotic stress on the success of the vertical transmission and survival during seed storage of two novel endophytes in perennial ryegrass
(Lincoln University, 2018)Epichloë fungal endophytes, which live in symbiosis with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) are vertically transmitted only, totally depending on the success of the host plant for their dissemination and survival. New ... -
A new approach for delivery of entomopathogenic fungi for plant protection against insect pests and plant diseases via maize seed
(Lincoln University, 2018)Entomopathogenic fungi have been recognized mainly for their ability to kill insects which has seen as an advantage for the development of these particular fungi as biocontrol agents in sustainable agriculture programmes. ... -
Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale
(Lincoln University, 2018)Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale ... -
Sowing date effects on timing of growth stages, yield and oil content of potential biodiesel crops
(Agronomy Society of New Zealand, 2012)Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is the major temperate crop producing biodiesel. Management of nitrogen applications and monitoring of pests and diseases in oilseed crops overseas relies heavily on correct identification of ... -
Effect of sowing date on forage rape seed quality
(Agronomy Society of New Zealand, 2017)New Zealand produced forage rape (Brassica napus L.) seed lots usually have a germination of ≥ 90% but can differ markedly in seed vigour. Abiotic stress during seed development can reduce seed vigour, and changing sowing ...
