  1. 1. Evaluation of the effects of the waxy starch mutation and environment on yield and starch functional properties of cassava

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Amanda Karlström; [2015]
    Keywords : cassava; environment; functional properties; starch; yield penalty; waxy;

    Abstract : Cassava roots are one of the most important sources of starch on a global scale. Two aspects of cassava as a starch crop were studied in this thesis work; 1) determining if the amylose-free (waxy) mutation is coupled with a reduction in yield, and 2) the environmental impact on yield, yield components and starch functional properties of cassava.

  3. 2. Female mate choice and modulation of oviposition preference in the moth Spodoptera littoralis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Amanda Karlström; [2013]
    Keywords : Spodoptera littoralis; female mate choice; precopulatory assessment; host plant; selection; oviposition; Aedes aegypti; experience;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two aspects of reproductive behaviour in the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) were studied. The first was whether female moths make a mate choice based on precopulatory assessments of male mating partners, and the second whether larval food plant experience of an ectoparasite modulates the female choice of oviposition site.
