  1. 1. An investigation of pea and cereal varieties for organic intercropping in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Agnes Elise Matilda Wilson; [2024]
    Keywords : Intercropping; agroecology; organic; peas; cereals; heritage grains;

    Abstract : Organic farming, intercropping and the conservation of landraces are agroecological methods of transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system, however there is a lack of data on varieties suitable for organic intercropping. Therefore, two spatially parallel field trials were conducted with 11 pea varieties intercropped with oat, and 38 varieties of cereals (wheat, oat, and barley), in sole crops. READ MORE

  3. 2. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Breeding

    Author : Karl-Johan Fabo; [2021]
    Keywords : spring barley; plant breeding; root growth; early vigor; seminor roots; GWAS; QTL; quantitative traits; quantitative genetics; marker-assisted breeding; hydroponics;

    Abstract : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. READ MORE

  4. 3. The origin of naked barley (Hordeum vulgare L. ssp. vulgare) studied bythe nud gene

    University essay from Molekylär genetik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Dan Gustafsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Accessions; barley landraces; domestication; ethylene response factor; monophyletic origin; nud gene.;

    Abstract : The exact origin of the peculiar naked barley is somewhat illusive. There   is a debate whether it has a single, monophyletic origin or a multiple, paraphyletic origin. It is from previous Asian studies on naked   barley known that a mutation   or a deletion of the nud gene expresses the   naked seed phenotype. READ MORE

  5. 4. Agronomic evaluation of Ethiopian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landrace populations under drought stress conditions in low-rainfall areas of Ethiopia

    University essay from SLU/Swedish Biodiversity Centre

    Author : Kiflu Tarekegn Abera; [2009]
    Keywords : Barley ; Hordeum vulgare; landraces; drought tolerance; Ethiopia;

    Abstract : Drought is the main factor limiting the yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in drought prone areas of Ethiopia because rainfall is scarce, unevenly distributed and temperatures are high during grain filling period. READ MORE
