To understand trichothecene accumulation and the infection cycle of the head blight pathogen F. graminearum sensu stricto, fungal gene expression profiles were monitored during germination of ascospores and during plant infection. A total of 328 genes were determined to be specifically expressed in ascospores. Among genes highly up-regulated in ascospores was one most closely related to FoStuA of F. oxysporum and StuA in Aspergillus. Mutants deleted for this gene in F. graminearum (FgStuA) are greatly decreased in sporulation and produce no perithecia. Unlike FoStuA mutants in F. oxysporum, FgStuA mutants are greatly reduced in pathogenicity. Reduced pathogenicity may be due to decreased le vels of trichothecene toxins, which in the mutant are

Vi har studert den klimatiske reguleringen av blomsterdanningen hos en rekke norske populasjoner av markjordbær. Resultata viser mange likhetstrekk med det som er kjent for hagejordbær med et utpreget samspill av temperatur og daglengde. Markjordbær er således dagnøytrale og danner blomster i både korte og lange dager ved 9 °C, ved 15 °C bare under kortdags-forhold, mens de ikke evner å danne blomster i det hele tatt ved 21 °C uansett daglengdeforhold.

En testing av sorter til bruk på skandinavisk golfgreener startet opp som et nytt prosjekt i 2007. Fire forsøk ble etablert på USGA greeener ved Östra Ljungby Naturgymnasium, Sverige, Bioforsk Landvik and Bioforsk Apelsvoll, Norge og ved en golfbane i Keldnaholt, Island. Totalt 42 sorter innen rødsvingel, engkvein, hundekvein og krypkvein, flerårig raigras og markrapp er med i prosjektet. Sådato for Apelsvoll, Landvik, Keldnaholt og Östra Ljungby var henholdsvis 26. juni, 11, juli, 17. august og 6. september. Feltene har i såingsåret blitt klippet ned til 6 mm i rødsvingel, raigras og rapp og 4 mm i kvein. Mange sorter, spesielt innen raigras og markrapp, men også av kvein og rødsvingel viser lovende resultater. Greenåra 2008, 2009 og 2010 vil fortelle mer om disse sortene.

Occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been reported from all continents in the world except Antarctica. Africa is the continent with fewest reports so far. There have however been reports on EPNs occurrence in Egypt, Kenya and South Africa. EPNs are well known due to their potential as biological control agents of insect pests. Banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is as an important insect pest of banana. This pest causes reduced banana production in all countries of the East African Highlands in particular Tanzania and Uganda. Different strategies have been employed to control the insect. However the potential for using entomopathogenic nematodes as biological control agents of the weevil has not yet been considered in Tanzania. A preliminary study is ongoing to find out if entomopathogenic nematodes naturally exist in banana growing areas in Tanzania. Currently nine soil samples have been collected from three regions (Mbeya, Morogoro and Coast) with different agroecological conditions. The samples have been taken to Bioforsk in Norway, for extraction of EPNs. Analysis of the samples has been done using larvae of the Greater Wax moth (Galleria mellonella) as bait. After 7 and 14 days dead larvae were removed from the soil samples and placed on water agar. Some of the dead larvae were infected with entomopathogenic fungi and at least one sample had a dead larva with EPN infection. In this sample an adult nematode in the genus Steinernema was isolated. Many dead larvae also had what appeared to be secondary infections of saprophytic nematodes (Rhabditidae) and/or saprophytic fungi. Identification to species or genus level of the nematodes is ongoing. This study reports the find of EPNs for the first time in Tanzania. The isolation of indigenous EPNs are important for further studies on their suitability for control of local insect pests including banana weevils. Future work will include more soil samples for EPNs analysis and semi-field tests using EPNs against banana weevil.

The invasive ladybird, Harmonia axyridis Pallas 1773, is recorded for the first time in Norway. The specimen was found on horticultural plants imported from Aalsmeer in the Netherlands to Oslo, Norway. H. axyridis originates from East-Asia. The species is known to be a voracious predator on aphids and has been extensively used as a biological control agent in both North America and Europe. The later years, however, a number of negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity have been reported. The species was assessed as a potential bio-control agent for use in Norwegian greenhouses in 2001. The outcome of the assessment was negative with respect to import and commercial use in Norway. It was concluded that H. axyridis might survive and become established outdoors and thereby pose a risk to the environment. Recent experiences from the UK have shown that H. axyridis compasses several of the traits characterizing a successful invasive alien species. The record of this species in Norway may only be the first in a number of such, as it is likely that this species will survive outdoors, at least in the southern parts of Norway.

The complete sequences of the chloroplast genomes of H. vulgare, Sorghum bicolor and A. stolonifera are presented. The sizes of the H. vulgare, Sorghum bicolor and A. stolonifera chloroplast genomes are 136,462, 140,754 and 136,584 bp, respectively. The genomes include a pair of IRs of 21,579 bp (H. vulgare), 22,782 bp (Sorghum bicolor) and 21,649 bp (A. stolonifera) separated by a small single copy region of 12,704 bp (H. vulgare), 12,502 bp (Sorghum bicolor) and 12,740 bp (A. stolonifera) and a large single copy region of 80,600 bp (H. vulgare), 82,688 bp (Sorghum bicolor) and 80,546 bp (A. stolonifera). Comparisons of complete chloroplast genome sequences of Hordeum vulgare, Sorghum bicolor and Agrostis stolonifera with six published grass chloroplast genomes reveal that gene content and order are similar but two microstructural changes have occurred. First, the expansion of the IR at the SSC/IRa boundary that duplicates a portion of the 5" end of ndhH is restricted to the three genera of the subfamily Pooideae (Agrostis, Hordeum and Triticum). Second, a 6 bp deletion in ndhK is shared by Agrostis, Hordeum, Oryza and Triticum, and this event supports the sister relationship between the subfamilies Erhartoideae and Pooideae. Repeat analysis identified 19- 37 direct and inverted repeats 30 bp or longer with a sequence identity of at least 90%. Seventeen of the 26 shared repeats are found in all the grass chloroplast genomes examined and are located in the same genes or intergenic spacer (IGS) regions. Examination of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) identified 16"21 potential polymorphic SSRs. Five IGS regions have 100% sequence identity among Zea mays, Saccharum officinarum and Sorghum bicolor, whereas no spacer regions were identical among Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, H. vulgare and A. stolonifera despite their close phylogenetic relationship. The genome information will facilitate the development of CP technology for those crops to improve their agronomic traits.

Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. Ex Klotzsch), is a contemporary symbol of Christmas in most parts of the world. Today, Europe and North America represent the largest volume of production and sales, but demand is growing quickly in the Australian regions as poinsettia become popular each year (Williams 2005). In Norway, poinsettia is one of the most important pot plants with a yearly production close to 6 million plants. Its ornamental value and innovation potential has laid the foundation for an extensive research in Norway and elsewhere. Two viruses i.e. poinsettia mosaic virus (PnMV) and poinsettia cryptic virus (PnCV) can cause diseases on modern poinsettia cultivars. PnMV gives visible symptoms in poinsettia during parts of the growing season. Growers show great interest to the potential benefits of growing PnMV-free poinsettias. Traditionally, PnMV-free poinsettia plants were obtained by in vitro culture of apical meristems. However, it is a time-consuming method and the regenerated new PnMV-free poinsettia has sometimes lost the branching characteristics which is important for poinsettia. Therefore, we have developed Agrobacterium-mediated transformation approach for poinsettia. Using this method, we have produced transgenic poinsettia with improved resistance against poinsettia mosic virus (PMV). Molecular analyses have confirmed the stable integration of transgenes into the poinsettia genome. The mechanical inoculation experiments of PnMV and Elisa assays revealed the improved PnMV resistance among the transgenic lines. SiRNA analysis has revealed the gene silencing mediated resistance. This is the first report describing Agrobacterium-mediated transformation on poinsettia. The methodology developed could also facilitate the further improvement of this ornamental plant with aims to enhance its disease resistances, quality traits, desirable colour and ornamental values for meeting the markets demands.
