The performances of the plum rootstocks Ferlenain, Ishtara, Jaspi and P 8-13 compared with St. Julien A as a standard, for the cultivars `Opal" and `Reine Claude GF 1119" were assessed in a field trial in western Norway at 60° North. This trial was one part of an international plum rootstock trial located in seven European countries and organized from INRA Bordeaux. Trees were planted in spring 1994; spaced 2.0 x 4.0 m and formed with a central leader as free spindles. Soil management was grass in the alleyways and herbicide strips 1-m wide along the tree rows. Tree vigour, yield, fruit size and yield efficiency were evaluated for the seven subsequent years. Tree size was significantly affected by the rootstocks. P 8-13 produced the largest trees for both cultivars as measured by trunk cross-sectional area. The smallest trees were produced on Ferlenain for the cultivar `Opal" and on Jaspi for `Reine Claude". The cultivar `Opal" was the most productive and gave three times larger crop than "Reine Claude" on average for the six cropping years. The `Reine Claude" trees came two years later into production than `Opal". There were small differences between the different rootstocks in productivity: However, the rootstock Ferlenain produced significant lower crop than the other rootstock for `Opal". Trees on Jaspi were the most yield efficient for `Opal" and Ferlenain for `Reine Claude". The fruit sizes were in general medium to small for both cultivars and became little affected by the different rootstocks. The average fruit size was about 30 g for `Opal" and 25 g for `Reine Claude". Fruit quality characterized by the content of soluble solids was high for `Reine Claude" with average 20 % and 15 % for `Opal" and did not differ much between trees on the various rootstocks.

The relative distribution of PoiBI in different tissues and in different parts ofthe plants was quantified using the comparative Ct method and a new developed TaqMan real-time PCR assay. Five samples were analysed from each of six different nodes equally distributed along the height of the plant. Also samples from the top of the plant, from the stem base and the primary and secondary roots were studied. The quantitative real-time PCR test proved to be a very sensitive test. Highest level of phytoplasma was found in the bark samples while the stem core samples contained little or no detectable phytoplasma. The lack of accumulation of phytoplasma in sink tissues indicates restricted phloem translocation of PoiBI. There were large plant-to-plant variations in PoiBI content and further studies including more plants will be needed in order to reveal the general distribution of PoiBI and its possible correlation to branching in poinsettia.

I årene 2001-2004 ble 210 hveteprøver analysert for mykotoksinet DON. Høyeste mengden som ble påvist var 2600 µg/kg. Mengde Fusarium graminearum økte betydelig i denne perioden. Dette ble påvist både med tradisjonelle morfologiske metoder og ved kvatitativ TaqMan PCR. Vårhvetesorten Zebra hadde mest DON og vårhvete var mer utsatt for et høyt DON-innhold enn høsthvete.

Mykotoksiner i kornet kan forebygges til en viss grad ved vekstskifte, pløying ved ensidig korndyrking, dyrking av sorter som er sterke mot fusarium og ved å unngå å dyrke korn på arealer med mye doggfall.

Været har stor betydning for angrep av Fusarium.Hvis været er fuktig, kan bondens valg av dyrkingsfaktorer ha stor betydning for om det skal bli lite eller mye toksiner i kornet.

To realize the full potential of agricultural biotechnology, concerns about the possible impact of GM plants on ecosystem properties and functions must be addressed. If transgenic crops substantially affect soil organic matter decomposition and mineralization, this could be of serious concern to many farmers in the developing world, as well as to organic farmers in the developed world. These farmers rely on local residues, organic matter and soil organisms for soil fertility, and there is a risk that this could be reduced if crop products cause a slowing down of the natural processes of decomposition and nutrient release by inhibiting the activity of the soil biota.

Denne rapporten presenterer resultatene fra ti år med vannfuglregistreringer i Pasvik naturreservat. Til sammen er det gjennomført 31 tellinger i perioden 1996-2005 (20 om våren og 11 om høsten). 52 arter av vannfugler er registrert under tellingene, 16 av disse er oppført på Norsk Rødliste 2006. Antall registrerte individer har variert mellom 334 og 1056 om våren, og 324 og 1147 om høsten.

Because light is assumed to suppress sporulation of many downy mildews (DM), it is a common component in forecast models. We evaluated effects of light intensity and quality, temperature, and diurnal periodicity on sporulation of Bremia lactucae, the causal agent of lettuce DM. We found that suppression of sporulation by light was strongly dependent upon temperature; with little suppression by light below 10 ºC. The greatest suppression of sporulation occurred at 400-450 nm, although a lesser effect was detected at 450-550 nm. At 15 ºC, a diurnal pattern of sporulation was observed independent of light and darkness. Current forecast models for lettuce DM use sunrise and sunset to delimit the hours during which leaf wetness and high RH can induce sporulation. Our results indicate that effects of short nights and extended twilight conditions, as in Nordic countries, should be incorporated into forecast models. Also, temperature should modify model predictions of sporulation, as the suppression of sporulation by light may be greatly reduced at temperatures below 15-20 ºC. The diurnal rhythm could interact with light and temperature to confound the results of controlled environment studies, and may be the controlling factor in timing of sporulation at low temperatures.
