  1. 1. Analysis of winter wheat and leafhoppers for wheat dwarf virus : factors causing outbreaks of wheat dwarf disease

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Lina Karm Togo; [2024]
    Keywords : Sweden; Psammotettix alienus; DAS-ELISA; cloning; sequencing; BLASTn; BLASTx; MEGA; SDT;

    Abstract : Wheat dwarf disease is caused by wheat dwarf virus (WDV) and is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. The disease has been reported in many European countries, as well as in West Asia, China, and one country in North Africa. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

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

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  4. 3. Development of a simplified and cost effective norovirus capsid typing method using next generation sequencing

    University essay from

    Author : Ronnie Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : PCR; Foodborne virus; Food safety; Illumina; NGS;

    Abstract : Human noroviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and can betransmitted through consumption of contaminated raw food. Shellfish like oysters can becontaminated by human sewage during production and accumulate multiple Norovirus strainsin low concentrations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Association between technological properties of bovine milk, cold induced depletion and genetic variants of β- and κ-casein

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Simon Tobias Höxter; [2023]
    Keywords : Milk proteins; casein micelle; β-casein depletion; micelle size; milk coagulation properties Swedish;

    Abstract : Caseins (CN) represent about 80% of the total protein in bovine milk and are of major importance in dairy production. The four casein types, i.e., αs1-, β-, αs2-, and κ-casein are in turn divided into different genetic variants. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterisation of resistance in wheat to Fusarium Head Blight complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Harleen Kaur; [2023]
    Keywords : Wheat; Pathobiome; Fusarium Head Blight FHB ; Phenotyping;

    Abstract : The plant pathobiome is described as a set of microorganisms that interact with each other and with the plant biotic environment to influence disease progress. Recent studies have led to the realisation that a disease in a plant is not always associated with single organisms rather is a result of complex interactions between various taxa, the host, and the environment.
