  1. 21. CAN LEAF LEVEL GAS EXCHANGE BE USED AS A PREDICTOR FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN COMMON BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS)?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Villemo Holmberg; [2022-08-16]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study aimed to examine drought tolerance among a variety of landraces of the species Phaseolus vulgaris to discover whether leaf level gas exchange can be used as a predictor for drought tolerance. Beans of different landraces from Rwanda were planted and when they had grown for four weeks a leaf-level gas exchange analysis was carried out, measuring one leaf from each plant both during the day and night.

  3. 22. ARCTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES RISE WITH TEMPERATURE Plant functional traits as a tool to predict global climate change

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Helena Sundell; [2022-07-06]
    Keywords : Arctic warming; plant functional traits; Community Weighted Mean; vegetational changes; global climate change;

    Abstract : Global warming occurs at a rate at least three-fold in the arctic regions compared to the rest of the world. Here, plant community functional traits were assessed in response to experimental warming in three arctic areas of Fennoscandia (Latnajajure, Abisko and Kilpisjärvi). READ MORE

  4. 23. Effects of temperature on germination and juvenile growth in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Gabriel von Rosen; [2022]
    Keywords : indoor farming; vertical farming; hydroponics; spinach; seed germination;

    Abstract : As the worlds urban population grows more and more every year, it becomes increasingly important that cities become more self-sufficient on food. Indoor vertical hydroponic farms offer a solution to this by placing the farm in an urban environment and growing plants in a controlled environment. READ MORE

  5. 24. Semi-Supervised Plant Leaf Detection and Stress Recognition

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Márk Antal Csizmadia; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Object Detection; Semi-Supervised Learning; Semi-Supervised Object Detection; Computer Vision; Djupinlärning; Objektdetektering; Semi-övervakad inlärning; Semi-övervakad objektdetektering; datorseende;

    Abstract : One of the main limitations of training deep learning-based object detection models is the availability of large amounts of data annotations. When annotations are scarce, semi-supervised learning provides frameworks to improve object detection performance by utilising unlabelled data. READ MORE

  6. 25. Prolongation of shelf life of minimally processed spinach by combining vacuum impregnation and electric field treatments

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Sophia Leffler; [2022]
    Keywords : spinach; pulsed electric field; moderate electric field; reversible electroporation; vacuum impregnation; shelf life; metabolic activity; respiration; food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : A continuous growth of the world population raises the importance of preserving food resources while maintaining their nutrient value. Leafy vegetables such as spinach are a food category which decay quickly, and a large amount ends up as food waste. READ MORE
