Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed in Norway, but so far limited knowledge exists on the level of genetic diversity. To initiate a selective breeding program, Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to estimate genetic diversity within the Norwegian R. rosea germplasm collection. AFLP analysis of 97 R. rosea clones using five primer combinations gave a total of 109 polymorphic bands. We detected high percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) with a mean of 82.3% among the clones of R. rosea. Each of the 97 R. rosea clones could be unambiguously identified based on these primer combinations. Estimates of genetic similarities were obtained by the Dice coefficient, and a final dendrogram was constructed with the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean (UPGMA). Genetic similarity based on the AFLP data ranged from 0.440 to 0.950 with a mean of 0.631. This genetic analysis showed that there was no close genetic similarity among clones related to their original growing county. No gender-specific markers were found in the R. rosea clones. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed a significantly greater variation within regions (92.03%) than among regions (7.97%). A low level of genetic differentiation (F-ST=0.043) was observed, indicating a high level of gene flow, which had a strong influence on the genetic structure at different counties. Our results indicate high gene flow among R rosea clones that might be a result of seed dispersal rather than cross-pollination. Further world-wide studies are required to compare the level of genetic diversity and more studies in R. rosea detailing the consequences of different patterns of gene flow (pollen spread and dispersal of seeds and clonal plants) will be useful for characterization of roseroot.

To understand trichothecene accumulation and the infection cycle of the head light pathogen Fusarium gramineaum sesu stricto, fungal gene expression profiles were monitored during plant infection using the F. graminearum Affymetrix GeneChip. Strains containing mutations in genes for three transcription factors were found to control trichothecene accumulations in planta and pathogenicity. Expression profiles were compared between wildtype and these mutants during infection of wheat. Mutants deleted for the StuA gene were greatly decreased in sporulation and produced no perithecia in culture. Unlike stuA mutants in F. oxysporum, F. graminearum stuA mutants were greatly reduced in pathogenicity. Reducd pathogenicity may be due to decreased trichothecene levels in planta, which in the mutant were two-fold in either tri6 or tri10 deleted strains. A model for global regulation and cross pathway control of sporulation, mycotoxin biosynthesis and pathogenicity will be presented.

The Fusarium genus includes devastating plant pathogenic fungi that cause diseases in cereals around the world. They produce several mycotoxins, including the estrogenic compound zearalenone. To better understand the molecular mechanisms determining zearalenone production, we performed differential display RT-PCR under conditions where Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum produced high amounts of zearalenone. We found 133 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and 54 of these were considered to be up-regulated during high zearalenone production. Several of the ESTs were confirmed to be up-regulated by real-time qPCR, but none showed any significant down-regulation in the zearalenone negative mutant Delta PKS4-T9, or were similar to typical gene expression patterns of previously described zearalenone-related genes. Some of the up-regulated ESTs were similar to genes involved in secondary metabolite production, lipid metabolism, transcriptional activation, provision of precursors, signal transduction, transport or detoxification. Several of the ESTs were also located adjacent to one another in the genome and therefore might represent genes involved in the same biosynthetic pathway. Members of six such putative pathways could be found. All sequences were compared to the MIPS F. graminearum Genome Database to verify autocalled gene predictions experimentally and to introduce new exons and gene structures.

We deleted the FgStuA gene in Fusarium graminearum and demonstrate its involvement in spore development, pathogenicity and secondary metabolism. The FgStuA protein is a member of the APSES family which regulate morphogenesis and virulence in ascomycetes. FgStuA is closely related to FoStuA in F. oxysporum and stuA in Aspergillus, but unlike FoStuA mutants, the FgStuA mutants were greatly reduced in pathogenicity on wheat and colonization of apple slices. The mutant produces no detectable trichothecenes on the wheat cultivar Bobwhite, and

The filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum causes extensive losses on cereals world-wide and contaminates harvested grain with mycotoxins, whose levels in the food supply are strictly regulated. We deleted the FgStuA gene in Fusarium graminearum and demonstrate its involvement in several different processes, such as spore development, pathogenicity and secondary metabolism. The FgStuA protein is a members of the APSES family which regulate morphogenesis and virulence in ascomycetes. FgStuA is closely related to FoStuA in F. oxysporum and StuA in Aspergillus, but unlike FoStuA mutants, the FgStuA mutants were greatly reduced in pathogenicity both on wheat and apple slices. Reduced pathogenicity may be due to decreased levels of trichothecene mycotoxins (

To understand mycotoxin accumulation and the infection cycle of the wheat head blight pathogen Fusarium graminearum sensu stricto,fungal gene expression profiles were monitored during plant infection. Strains containing mutations in genes for three transcription factors were found to control deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation in planta and pathogenicity.

Vi studerer to sykdommer forårsaket av Phytophthora, rotstokkråte i jordbær (P. cactorum) og rød rotråte i bringebær (P. fragariae var. rubi (Pfr)). Bringebær og jordbær sorter varierer i resistens, men de fleste kommersielle kultivarene er mottakelige for disse to sykdommene. En universell merkemetode ble brukt for å gjøre markøranalyse for å identifisere genetiske markører koblet til resistens. For bringebær er populasjonen brukt for kartlegging avkommene fra en krysning mellom resistent Asker og mottakelig Glen Moy. Resistensen til 200 avkom har blitt testet under kontrollerte betingelser med smitting i vannkultur. Tretti dager etter inokulering med mycel av Pfr ble grad av symptom registrert. Kommersielt dyrket jordbær er en svært heterozygot oktoploid. Vi bruker derfor diploid villjordbær som en modellplante. Bioforsk har en samling av diploide jordbærgenotyper fra ulike steder i Norge. Totalt har 68 genotyper blitt testet for deres resistens mot P. cactorum. Ulik grad av resistens har blitt observert. Mottakelige så vel som svært resistente aksesjoner har blitt identifisert. Basert på disse resultatene vil genotyper bli valgt for å lage en segregerende populasjon fra en resistent x mottagelig krysning for å studere nedarvingen av P. cactorum resistensen.
