  1. 1. Beware of your neighbour : the effects of intraspecific interactions and CO2-level on the plant growth of two Barley cultivars

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Nadja Nyberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Barley; Salome; Fairytale; cultivar mixture; pure stand; intraspecific competition; plant-plant interactions; competitive ability; elevated CO2;

    Abstract : Plants have evolved several ways to sense what is going on around them. They can detect possible competitors by picking up on airborne Volatile Compounds emitted from neighbouring plants. The cues can induce growth responses that enhances the competitive ability of the receiver. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development and Validation of an Analytical Method for Phenolic Acid Extraction from Cereals and Quantification using HPLC-UV

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Laura Amann; [2018]
    Keywords : Phenolic acids; cereals; extraction; HPLC-UV analysis;

    Abstract : Cereals are rich in phenolic acids, a group of secondary plant metabolites that are associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases. The objective was to develop and internally validate a method for extraction and quantification of phenolic acids in cereals using HPLC-UV and to apply this method for quantification of the content of phenolic acids in several species of Swedish cereals.

  4. 3. The effect of combining two biological control microbes on seed and root colonization

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

    Author : Jinhui Wang; [2012]
    Keywords : Biological control; Root Colonization; Clonostachys rosea; Pseudomonas chlororaphis;

    Abstract : Clonostachys rosea strain IK726 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain MA342 are two promising biocontrol microbes which both has various biocontrol mechanisms to control many seed and soil-borne plant diseases. Because a potential additive effect may exist between these two biocontrol microbes, like an expanded antagonistic spectrum and enhanced persistence of biocontrol effect, we expected to get a more competitive biocontrol with a mixture of IK726 and MA342.

  5. 4. Effect of cultivar mixture on the competitive ability of barley against weeds

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Eva Estevan Rodríguez; [2006]
    Keywords : cultivar mixture; Hordeum vulgare L.; weed control; allelopathy; competitive ability; mixture design;

    Abstract : While it is known that mixtures of cultivars generally stabilise crop yields and reduce losses caused by diseases, their influence on weeds has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Competitive effects against weeds are dependent on specific plant characteristics, which can vary between cultivars. READ MORE
