1. 1. Winter wheat exudates : Improving wheats resilience to drought

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Freja Haverland; [2024]
   Keywords : drought; PGPR; exudates; agriculture; food security;

   Abstract : Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a crop that dominates the diets of about 35% of the world's human population. But wheat yields can be severely affected by drought. Therefore, in this experiment, root exudation of winter wheat was compared to find out how exudation changes during drought stress. READ MORE

3. 2. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
   Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

   Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

4. 3. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
   Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

   Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

5. 4. Analyzing the Influence of Synthetic andAugmented Data on Segmentation Model

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Alex Peschel; [2023]
   Keywords : Artificial Intelligence; Microorganisms; Segmentation; Synthesizing; Augmentation;

   Abstract : The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years, thanks to the numerous applications related to speech recognition, natural language processing, and computer vision. However, one of the challenges facing AI is the requirement for large amounts of energy, time, and data to be effective and accurate. READ MORE

6. 5. The Impact of Oat and Fruit Consumption on Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production

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

   Author : Johanna Margaretha Schilder; [2023]
   Keywords : short-chain fatty acids; SCFAs; diet; gas chromatography; serum; mice; applied nutrition and food chemistry; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : This study explored the importance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in maintaining gut health and how different diets affect their levels. Blood plasma and serum samples from mice subjected to two intervention studies on oats and fruits were analysed to determine SCFA concentrations. READ MORE
