  1. 1. Impact of experimental soil moisture manipulation on tropical tree seedling demographic fates and functional traits

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik

    Author : Roel Lammerant; [2021]
    Keywords : Tropical forest; Drought; Seedlings; Experimental;

    Abstract : In tropical regions, climate change is predicted to lead to increased drought frequency and intensity. The extent to which this will shift the functional diversity of tropical tree communities is unknown due to a limited understanding about the response of seedlings to variable soil moisture.

  3. 2. The role of RFX-target genes in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Abhishekapriya Ganesan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and psychiatric disorders, for example, schizophrenia (SCZ) represent a large spectrum of disorders that manifest through cognitive and behavioural problems. ASD and SCZ are both highly heritable, and some phenotypic similarities between ASD and SCZ have sparked an interest in understanding their genetic commonalities. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of the impact of mitochondrial variation in the estimation of breeding values for dairy cattle

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Gabriela Mafra Fortuna; [2021]
    Keywords : mitogenome; variance components; milk yield; simulation;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are independent cellular components responsible for cellular respiration. Through oxidative phosphorylation they convert Adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate into Adenosine Triphosphate, ATP, the essential molecule sourced by all intracellular metabolic processes.

    Abstract : Heterobasidion annosum s.l. (sensu lato, in the broad sense) is a fungal complex consisting of five partly intersterile species and is regarded as the most devastating forestry pest in the northern hemisphere. READ MORE

  6. 5. Linear assessment in Swedish Warmblood foals : and the relationship to linear traits described at Young Horse Test

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Katarina Karlsson; [2020]
    Keywords : foal; breeding; genetic correlation; heritability; SWB; young horse test; foal inspection; gaits; conformation; linear traits; linear profiling; animal model; sport horse; warmblood; horse;

    Abstract : Of all Swedish Warmblood (SWB) foals born between 2014 and 2018 approximately 24% attended foal inspection. At the foal inspections trained judges assess conformation and gait traits by evaluating/subjective scoring five traits and making a linear profiling/description of 15 traits. READ MORE
