  1. 21. Molecular Characterization of High β-Glucan Lines in Oats

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Abhinav Majumdar; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied biochemistry; Oats; β-Glucan; Dietary fibres; Arbinoxylan; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) are part of the cereal whole grain family, and their production is on the rise for the past few years due to extensive research done on the health benefits it can provide to humans. ScanOats project in Sweden is one of the research groups across the world that has done extensive work on oats. READ MORE

  3. 22. 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.

  4. 23. Bearbetningsmetoders påverkan på markorganismers aktivitet i jorden : i perenna odlingar samt i odlingssystem med mellangrödor

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

    Author : Jenny Olofsson; [2021]
    Keywords : markorganismer; respiration; organiskt material; odlingsmetoder; biologiska processer; kemiska processer och fysikaliska processer; perenna odlingssystem; mellangrödor; klimatförändringar; microbial activity; respiration; organic matter; soil tillage methods; biological processes; chemical processes and physical processes; perennial crops; conservation agriculture; intermediate crops; climate change;

    Abstract : Klimatförändringarna, som både påverkat och påverkar vår planet, kräver att mänskliga aktiviteter förändras till mer resurssnåla och systemeffektiva processer. I dessa processer bör markens bördighet vara det centrala, eftersom en bördig mark kan generera stabila skördar och bidra till en långsiktigt hållbar matförsörjning. READ MORE

  5. 24. Cereals as ‘leftover biomass’ : an analysis of Swedish cereal production from the perspective of feed-food competition

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Beatrice Tillgren; [2021]
    Keywords : feed-food competition; left-over biomass; low‐opportunity‐cost feedstuff; cereals; cereal quality; wheat; rye; barley; oats; Swedish cereal production;

    Abstract : In a time with climate change and a growing population it is important to use the arable land as effectively as possible to ensure food security and minimize environmental impacts. Currently, livestock production uses 70% of all agricultural land which highlights the competition between the usage of land for crops for feed rather than for human consumption. READ MORE

  6. 25. A molecular analysis of the interaction between the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea and the cereal pathogen F. graminearum

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

    Author : Esther Kuper; [2021]
    Keywords : Agrobacterium- mediated transformation; Biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea;

    Abstract : Modern agriculture is increasingly challenged by newly emerging crop diseases- many of them caused by fungal pathogens. At the same time, excessive application of chemical fungicides accelerates the development of resistant pathogen strains and may cause harmful effects on non-target organisms. READ MORE
