  1. 1. En intervjustudie om odlare av kulturspannmål i Norrland

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

    Author : Tilde Lindbäck; [2023]
    Keywords : kulturspannmål; odlare; norrländsk växtodling; småskalighet; motivation;

    Abstract : En framtid med varmare klimat och mer oberäkneliga väderförändringar ställer krav på livsmedelsproduktionens anpassningsförmåga. Forskningen visar att en genetisk diversitet är viktig för att stärka resiliensen inom odlingslandskapet och stå emot framtidens utmaningar. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Population structure of Puccinia graminis, the cause of stem rust on wheat, barley, and rye in Sweden

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

    Author : Clara Kjellström; [2021]
    Keywords : plant pathology; plant disease; crop protection; fungi; P; graminis f.sp. tritci; P. graminis f.sp. secale; P. graminis f.sp. hordei;

    Abstract : Rust fungi belong to the phylum Basidiomycetes, order Uredinales cause damage on almost all plants, including cereal crops. Some of the species within the genus Puccinia causes rust disease on cereal crops. One example of a disease from this genus is Puccinia graminis, which historically has caused severe damage in cereal crop production. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dwindling diversity : attitudes and knowledge among different stakeholders about loss of agrobiodiversity in Nepal

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

    Author : Stina Mortensen; [2019]
    Keywords : Nepal; agrobiodiversity; conservation; attitudes;

    Abstract : Nepal’s rich agrobiodiversity is rapidly decreasing, as local varieties of crops are replaced by imported hybrid or improved varieties. At the same time, in light of the increasingly apparent effects of climate change, the need for a broad genetic base in order to maintain the ability to adapt to new conditions is evident. READ MORE

  6. 5. Polyandry and genetic diversity in populations of Pholidoptera griseoaptera along an environmental gradient

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Matilda Jutzeler; [2019]
    Keywords : polyandry; genetic diversity; multiple mating; microsatellites; nuptial gift; phenotype;

    Abstract : Polyandry is a common mating pattern in different insect species and it leads to increased genetic diversity in the offspring and prevents inbreeding in populations. According to the theory of mate choice, mates should choose a partner that will increase heterozygosity in their offspring. READ MORE
