Offer Description
Diversity of filamentous fungi in barley and malt under different climatic conditions in Slovakia
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Soňa Felšöciová, PhD.
Workplace: Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Science, Slovak University of Agruculture in Nitra
Field of Study: Food Science
Study program: Food Technology
Form of study: full-time
Language: Slovak
Abstract
Spring barley is the basic raw material for the production of malt in the Slovak Republic. Climatic changes, especially high temperatures and drought, have an impact not only on the technological quality of barley, but also on changes in the variability of cereal mycocenosis. The dissertation work will focus on the study of newly bred barley genotypes from three climatically different regions of Slovakia at the experimental stations of ÚKSÚP Bratislava, which have not yet received comprehensive attention in the current climate change. The samples will be analysed for endogenous colonisation of barley grain by microscopic fungi, followed by mycological analyses of the malt. Attention will be paid to potential mycotoxin producers and their mycotoxinogenic potential, with particular reference to the genus Penicillium. This dissertation work would build on previous research (2006-2008) where we investigated mycocenosis in wheat. Mycological studies point to the fact that climate change is reflected in changes in both the genera and species distribution of micromycetes. This may be reflected in the resulting toxicological and technological quality of barley grains. The dissertation work will provide new knowledge not only on the current genus of filamentous micromycetes representation, the most frequently occurring group of fungal contaminants, but also on the species diversity of potentially toxinogenic fungi and their mycotoxinogenic potential in newly bred genotypes of both barley and malt under the current climatic conditions in Slovakia.
Diverzita vláknitých húb v jačmeni a slade v rôznych klimatických podmienkach Slovenska
Abstrakt
Jarný jačmeň je v Slovenskej republike základnou surovinou na výrobu sladu. Klimatické zmeny, najmä vysoké teploty a sucho, majú dopad nielen na technologickú kvalitu jačmeňa, ale aj na zmeny vo variabilite mykocenózy obilnín. Dizertačná práca bude zameraná na štúdium novošľachtených genotypov jačmeňa z troch klimaticky odlišných oblastiach Slovenska na skúšobných staniciach ÚKSÚP-u Bratislava, ktorým v súčasných klimatických zmenách doposiaľ nebola venovaná komplexná pozornosť. Vzorky budú analyzované na endogénne osídlenie zrna jačmeňa mikroskopickými hubami, následne aj slad bude predmetom mykologických analýz. Pozornosť bude venovaná potenciálnym producentom mykotoxínov a ich mykotoxinogénnej potencii, s osobitým zreteľom na rod Penicillium. Dizertačná práca by nadviazala na predchádzajúci výskum (2006 – 2008), kde sme sledovali mykocenózu pšenice. Mykologické štúdie poukazujú na fakt, že klimatické zmeny sa prejavujú na zmenách v rodovom aj druhovom zastúpení mikromycét. To sa môže odzrkadliť na výslednej toxikologickej i technologickej kvalite jačmenných zŕn.Dizertačná práca umožní získať nové poznatky nielen o aktuálnom rodovom zastúpení vláknitých mikromycét, o najčastejšie sa vyskytujúcej skupine fungálnych kontaminantov, ale aj o druhovej diverzite potenciálne toxinogénnych húb a ich mykotoxinogénnej potencii v novošľachtených genotypov jačmeňa aj sladu v súčasných klimatických podmienkach Slovenska.
