  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Genetic variation in common cattail (Typha latifolia) in southern Sweden

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

    Author : David Fahlgren; [2017]
    Keywords : Typha latifolia; common cattail; SSR-marker; genetic diversity;

    Abstract : Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia are wide spread perennial aquatic plants that have long history of being used by humans as a food source (rich in starch) and for raw material but they are not used much today. READ MORE

  4. 3. Developing species-diagnostic microsatellite markers in Lepidium species

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

    Author : Nathan Zivi; [2016]
    Keywords : Lepidium; Lepidium campestre; microsatellite; SSR; SNP; domestication; breeding; molecular markers;

    Abstract : Lepidium campestre is a potential oil and catch crop that is currently undergoing multiple studies in order to domesticate the species. Traits from four closely related species have been identified as desirable by researchers at the SLU, but more information is needed before the closely related species can be used to their fullest potential.

  5. 4. Genotypic and phenotypic variation of Phytopthora infestans on potato in the two Swedish regions Bjäre and Östergötland in 2015

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

    Author : Ida Peterson; [2015]
    Keywords : potato late blight; mating type; simple sequence repeat markers SSR ; microsatellites; Multiplex PCR; sexual reproduction; asexual reproduction; aggressiveness; tests; population study;

    Abstract : Potato late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is a very im-portant disease on potato, and one of the most devastating plant diseases in agri-culture worldwide. Despite the small area of potato in comparison with other cul-tivated crops, 40 % of the total use of fungicides in Sweden is used on potato. READ MORE

  6. 5. Has modern Swedish forestry affected genetic diversity in Norway spruce stands?

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

    Author : Helena Dahlberg; [2015]
    Keywords : Picea abies; genetic differentiation; age groups; nuclear microsatellites; forestry;

    Abstract : Norway spruce is one of two dominating species in Swedish forestry and the most economically important tree species in Sweden. In order to preserve the ability to adapt to a changing environment and to keep populations healthy, genetic diversity has to be preserved. READ MORE
