  1. 1. Forskning och nyttjande av mykorrhiza inom nordiskt jordbruk : en litteraturstudie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Tova Väätäinen; [2023]
    Keywords : inokulering; AM; Norden; vete; linser; potatis;

    Abstract : Glomeromycota är en division svampar som bildar arbuskulär mykorrhiza (AM) med mer än 80% av alla landlevande växter. Via denna symbios får svampen kolhydrater från växten och i gengäld får växten näringsämnen. READ MORE

  3. 2. Protein Recovery from Alkaline Extracts: A Comparative Analysis of Isoelectric Precipitation and Ultrafiltration

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

    Author : Anjay Sharma; [2023]
    Keywords : Rapeseed cake; Brewers spent grains; Protein recovery; Ultrafiltration; Alkaline extraction; Food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Proteins are one of three macro-components of a diet. An increasing demand for products that can be a complete protein source exists. The vulnerability of the current food system towards environmental impacts and the inability to keep up with the rising population has shifted the focus on valorising underutilised by-products of the food industry.

  4. 3. Multi-environment Screening of Timothy (Phleum pratense) Breeding Material for Better Forage Yield in Sweden.

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

    Author : Ibrahim Issa; [2022]
    Keywords : Phleum pratense; Multi-Environment; Forage yield; Sweden; Genotype-by-environment interaction Swedish;

    Abstract : Timothy (Phleum pratense) is one of the most widely used forage crops in hay and pasture grass mixtures in Nordic countries; it’s also used in areas where it is one of the top forage crops harvested high yield, especially in boreal climates. There hasn’t been any large-scale breeding of Timothy to develop varieties that are adapted for Swedish climate and standards, which is surprising given that Timothy is the main forage crop used in Sweden.

  5. 4. Optimised PCR protocol for ten microsatellite primers (SSRs) in Fragaria vesca : Facilitating future work analysing genetic diversity and developing efficient conservation strategies

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Lisa Haglund; [2022]
    Keywords : Crop wild relatives CWR ; PCR; Microsatellites; Fragaria vesca; Conservation; Genetic diversity;

    Abstract : The world faces severe challenges in providing food security for a growing world population during climate change. This puts pressure on modern agriculture, including adapting crops to new environments and cultivation on less acreage. The tools for adapting crops exist within a species' genetic diversity.

  6. 5. Effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal cropping

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Khadija Aziz; [2022]
    Keywords : cover crops; nitrous oxide; C sequestration; greenhouse gases; off-season emissions; freeze-thaw cycles;

    Abstract : More than 60% of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are attributed to agricultural activities. N2O production in soils highly depends on the N availability along with other factors such as soil moisture content, which provide suitable conditions for nitrification and denitrification. READ MORE
