Norway spruce suffers from serious root and butt rot problems from sea level up to the timber line in Norway. In this paper the most common fungi causing white rot is presented with special notes on gross characteristics of the rot. During the meeting we visited a stand near the timberline where logging was ongoing. Isolations were done from nearly hundred rotten logs and the results are presented.

Abstract
*Strawberry Fragaria × ananassa (cv. Korona) was inoculated with Botrytis cinerea by dipping berries in a conidial suspension. *Colonization by the pathogen was monitored using real-time PCR, ELISA and ergosterol assays, the first showing the highest sensitivity. The expression of pathogen B-tubulin and six polygalacturonases (Bcpg1-6) and three host defence genes (polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (FaPGIP) and two class II chitinases) were monitored using real-time RT-PCR. *The maximum transcript levels of the host defence genes occurred at 16 h postinoculation (hpi) at the presumed initial penetration stage. The unique transcript profile of Bcpg2 over the 96-h incubation time and its high transcript levels relative to those of the other Bcpgs at 8-24 hpi suggest that the gene has a specific role in the penetration stage. *Bcpg1 was expressed constitutively at a relatively high level in actively growing mycelia throughout the experimental period. Comparison of the transcript profiles indicated that Bcpg1 and Bcpg3-6 were coordinately regulated.

Strawberry Fragariax ananassa (cv. Korona) was inoculated with Botrytis cinerea by dipping berries in a conidial suspension. The colonization of the pathogen was monitored with real-time PCR, ELISA and ergosterol assays, the first showing the highest sensitivity. The expression of pathogen -tubulin and six polygalacturonases (Bcpg1-6) and three host defense genes (polygalacturonase inhibiting protein (FaPGIP) and two class II chitinases) were monitored with real-time RT-PCR. The maximum transcript levels of the host defense genes occurred at 16 hours post inoculation (hpi), at the presumed initial penetration stage.The unique transcript profile of Bcpg2 over the 96-hour-long incubation time and its high transcript levels relative to those of the other Bcpgs at 8 to 24 hpi suggest that the gene has a specific role in the penetration stage.Bcpg1 was constitutively expressed at a relatively high level in actively growing mycelia throughout the experimental period. Comparison of the transcript profiles indicated that Bcpg1 and Bcpg3-6 were co-ordinately regulated.
Abstract
The Norwegian agri-food sector is under transformation, and as part of this the contractual relations between the various parts of the sector are rapidly changing. The purpose of this paper is to answer two questions: • How can these changes be explained? • What changes can be expected in the future? The analysis is based on insight from new institutional economics. The starting point is that the relations between agents depend on institutions and governance structure. Changes in one or both will influence the contractual relations. The paper focuses on relations between primary producers and first hand buyers of agricultural products. However, since changes at this part of the value chain is influenced by what happens down-stream, we take developments in down-stream parts of the chains into account as far as we find it relevant.
