  1. 6. Genetic diversity and farmers’ selection of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties on small-scale farms in Northern and Central Vietnam

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Martina Lamprecht; [2015]
    Keywords : cassava; genetic diversity; breeding; farmers’ selection; Vietnam;

    Abstract : Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tropical root crop grown for its starchy tuberous roots. In Vietnam, cassava’s use as a raw product for the starch and ethanol industry led to its increasing importance. READ MORE

  3. 7. Genetic diversity of local maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm from eight agro-ecological zones in Mozambique

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

    Author : Abilio Virissimo Afonso; [2013]
    Keywords : Genetic diversity; maize; Zea mays; germplasm; agro-ecological zone; Mozambique; Simple Sequence Repeat SSR ;

    Abstract : The genetic diversity within and among 27 accessions of local maize maintained at the National Gene bank of Mozambique was studied. The accessions were originally collected from farmers’ fields in 8 of the 10 agro-ecological zones of Mozambique. Eleven SSR markers were used. A total of 84 alleles were found with an average of 7.

  4. 8. Sequence analysis and transcript length estimation of a normalized full-length porcine cDNA library

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Samuel Gebremedhn Etay; [2012]
    Keywords : Pig porcine ; cDNA library; Direct sequencing;

    Abstract : The Pig is one of the most important sources of animal protein and an essential animal model for human biomedical research due to its anatomical, physiological, biochemical and metabolic similarities with human being. Profound understanding of the pig genome helps to understand its biology in depth. READ MORE

  5. 9. Genetic diversity of Roseroot (Rhodiola rosea L.) from Sweden, Greenland and Faroe Islands

    University essay from SLU/Plant Breeding and Biotechnology (until 121231)

    Author : Madeleine Kylin; [2010]
    Keywords : Rhodiola rosea; Roseroot; genetic diversity; microsatellites; inter-simple sequence repeat;

    Abstract : Roseroot (R. rosea L.) has gained more attention the last years, mainly because of its phy-topharmacologic properties. Even though many reports in roseroot have been published, only a few articles are dealt with the genetic diversity. READ MORE

  6. 10. Analysis of Swedish accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris L. using SSR Markers

    University essay from SLU/Plant Breeding and Biotechnology (until 121231)

    Author : Elin Bengtsson; [2009]
    Keywords : accession; duplicate; garden bean; gene bank; genetic diversity; genetic resources; germplasm; microsatellites; morphological markers; Phaseolus vulgaris; preservation; SSR;

    Abstract : AbstractThe genetic diversity in cultural plants is considered to be threatened due to global climate change and antropogenic influence. Unknowing of future conditions for cultivation, gene banks all over the world are now trying to build up costly safety nets of species and varieties that may become highly valuable owing to their specific traits and genetic heredity.
