  1. 1. Effect of Touch on Cotton and Maize : influence on plant morphology and feeding preference in Spodoptera littoralis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Anna Magnusson; [2022]
    Keywords : Mechanical stimuli; cotton; maize; thigmomorphogenesis; Spodoptera littoralis; induced defence; plant-plant interaction;

    Abstract : Plants are constantly exposed to touch and mechanical stimuli in natural environments, from rain, wind, animals and plant neighbours. However, current knowledge and understanding of how touch physiologically affects plants are limited. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring methods for detecting maize plant density using Structure-from-Motion point clouds

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Albin Tveitan Käppi; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; Maize plant density; Structure from Motion; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAV ; Photogrammetry; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Sammanfattning Jordens befolkning förväntas öka de kommande årtiondena. Detta kan skapa osäkerhet kring livsmedelsförsörjning och kräver en mer produktiv livsmedelssektor samt metoder för att bedöma tillgång på livsmedel i förhållande till efterfrågan. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identification and Expression of Oat Hemoglobin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Simon Christensen; [2019]
    Keywords : Hemoglobin; Oat; Plant Hemoglobin; Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier; non-symbiotic Hemoglobin; oxygen transporter; applied biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Hemoglobin is mainly viewed as an oxygen and carbon dioxide carrier in the blood of animals and thus essential for life as we know it. During the course of evolution, plants have also developed versions of this protein, for similar and different purposes, such as regulation of nitric oxide levels. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of different biochar application rates on soil fertility and soil water retention in on-farm experiments on smallholder farms in Kenya

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Helene Puehringer; [2016]
    Keywords : biochar; soil water retention; bulk density; macro nutrient availability; VNIR; maize cobs and stover; coffee husk;

    Abstract : Biochar is produced through pyrolysis, the thermo-chemical degradation of biomass under anaerobic or oxygen-limited conditions. Due to its properties related to surface area and porosity, bulk density, nutrient content, stability, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH value, and carbon content, biochar has the potential to improve physical as well as chemical soil properties and thus improve crop productivity and contribute to carbon sequestration.

  6. 5. Effect of diet and density on larval immune response and larval and adult host-preference in Spodoptera littoralis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Sophie Chattington; [2015]
    Keywords : artificial encapsulation; Egyptian cotton leafworm; immune response; innate preference hierarchy; larval density; larval development; larval memory; oviposition choice; phenoloxidase; Spodoptera littoralis; Y-tube;

    Abstract : Polyphagy presents difficulties to an insect, especially in terms of host choice. The adult insect must choose from a large number of possible host plant species, something which is considered to require extensive neural capacity to process. READ MORE
