1. 1. From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Christopher Keegan; [2023]
   Keywords : Bioinformatics; Genebanks; Genetic Engineering; Mixed-Methods; Multi-Disciplinary; Patent Analysis; Plant Genetic Resources; Synthetic Biology; Technological Trajectories; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete.

3. 2. Genbanksmaterial av ärt och åkerböna : en inventering av tillgängliga växtgenetiska resurser för förädling för svenska förhållanden

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

   Author : Linnea Svensson; [2022]
   Keywords : Pisum sativum; Vicia faba; växtgenetiska resurser; genbanker; växtförädling; svenska förhållanden; inhemskt producerat protein;

   Abstract : För att kunna trygga livsmedelsförsörjningen i världen krävs grödor som är anpassade för odling i olika klimatregioner. Genom växtförädling kan nya sorter av grödor, som är bättre anpassade, tas fram. READ MORE

4. 3. Controls of the partitioning of nitrate between DNRA and denitrifiers

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

   Author : Frida Lindvall; [2022]
   Keywords : DNRA; denitrification; microcosm; experiment; arable soil;

   Abstract : In arable soils, the importance of denitrification, a respiratory process where nitrate (NO3-) is stepwisely reduced to nitrogen gas and nitrous oxide (N2O) is well established. More recently has dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) gained interest as its importance in agricultural soils might have been largely overlooked. READ MORE

5. 4. Genetic diversity within Swedish national heritage cultivars of gooseberry, Ribes uva-crispa

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

   Author : Josefine Nordlander; [2021]
   Keywords : genetic diversity; heterozygosity; molecular characterization; PCoA; pomological heritage; Ribes grossularia; Ribes uva-crispa; SSR markers;

   Abstract : In the year 2000, the National program for diversity of cultivated plants (Pom) was established, aiming to recover old, Swedish fruit and berry cultivars that historically have been important for breeding and commercial production. A collection of mandate cultivars of Ribes uva-crispa (gooseberry) containing valuable accessions was created. READ MORE

6. 5. The Marketing of Traditional Vegetable Seeds - How the EU legislation affects the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Juridiska fakulteten

   Author : Gesine Åström; [2019]
   Keywords : Plant genetic resources; International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture; EU seed marketing legislation; Directive 2009 145 EC; Directive 2002 55 EC; Public international law; Law and Political Science;

   Abstract : Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur Europeiska Unionens (EU) lagstiftning avseende saluföring av utsäde av köksväxter påverkar mångfalden av växtgenetiska resurser samt att utreda potentiella förbättringsförslag till den nuvarande lagstiftningen. EU:s utsädeslagstiftning består främst av direktiv 2002/55 som anger att enbart certifierat utsäde från registrerade sorter får saluföras i EU samt direktiv 2009/145 som tillhandahåller vissa undantag från saluföringsföreskrifterna för att främja bevarandet av den växtgenetiska mångfalden.
