- 1 November 2013
The cerato-platanin family is a group of small cysteine-rich fungal proteins new to science. They usually are abundantly secreted extracellularly and are involved in fungus-host interactions. With… Expand
Description of a new putative virus infecting the conifer pathogenic fungus Heterobasidion parviporum with resemblance to Heterobasidion annosum P-type partitivirus
- E. Vainio, S. Keriö, J. Hantula
- Biology, Medicine
- Archives of Virology
- 2010
The complete sequences of two double-stranded RNA segments from the fungus Heterobasidion parviporum were characterized. The larger segment (2,290 bp) contained an open reading frame encoding a… Expand
Antimicrobial defenses and resistance in forest trees: challenges and perspectives in a genomic era.

- 6 May 2015
BackgroundDuring their lifetime, conifer trees are exposed to numerous herbivorous insects. To protect themselves against pests, trees have developed a broad repertoire of protective mechanisms. Many… Expand
Endophytic fungi of Norway spruce roots in boreal pristine mire, drained peatland and mineral soil and their inhibitory effect on Heterobasidion parviporum in vitro
- Eeva Terhonen, S. Keriö, H. Sun, F. O. Asiegbu
- Biology
- 1 June 2014
Most of the spruce-dominated pristine mires in South Finland have been drained for forestry, and a large proportion of these forest stands are currently approaching regeneration maturity. We… Expand
Biological degradation of torrefied wood and charcoal
- M. Kymäläinen, Mikko Havimo, S. Keriö, M. Kemell, Juha Solio
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2014
Torrefaction is an interesting option to pretreat biomass in order to obtain a fuel with improved handling and combustion characteristics, but there are a number of questions related to the supply… Expand
A Gene Encoding Scots Pine Antimicrobial Protein Sp-AMP2 (PR-19) Confers Increased Tolerance against Botrytis cinerea in Transgenic Tobacco
- E. Jaber, A. Kovalchuk, Tommaso Raffaello, S. Keriö, T. Teeri, F. Asiegbu
- Biology
- 23 December 2017
Both the establishment of sustainable forestry practices and the improvement of commercially grown trees require better understanding of mechanisms used by forest trees to combat microbial pathogens.… Expand
