  1. 1. Winter wheat exudates : Improving wheats resilience to drought

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Freja Haverland; [2024]
    Keywords : drought; PGPR; exudates; agriculture; food security;

    Abstract : Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a crop that dominates the diets of about 35% of the world's human population. But wheat yields can be severely affected by drought. Therefore, in this experiment, root exudation of winter wheat was compared to find out how exudation changes during drought stress. READ MORE

  3. 2. Growth and quality of silver birch with different improvement levels

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Hanna Liebner; [2023]
    Keywords : Betula pendula Roth; genetic improvement; tree breeding; diameter growth; stem quality; branches quality;

    Abstract : Silver birch is the most important broadleaf tree species in the context of wood production in Fennoscandia stating 12.9% of the total volume in Sweden (Nilsson et al., 2021). READ MORE

  4. 3. Gonadal hypoplasia in Swedish Mountain cattle and other native Swedish cattle breeds

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

    Author : Julia Hinken; [2023]
    Keywords : gonadal hypoplasia; Swedish Mountain cattle; fjäll;

    Abstract : The Swedish Mountain cattle and several related breeds show the phenotype of colour-sidedness. The genetic reasons for this phenotype are a translocation and duplication from chr6 to chr29 (known as Cs29) including the KIT gene and an additional translocation with part of the Cs29 translocation from chr29 back to chr6 (Cs6).

  5. 4. Drivers of flower size evolution in the selfing species Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Clàudia Fernández Mestre; [2023]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; petal size; fitness; selection; evolutionary drivers; GWAS;

    Abstract : The influence of pollinators on the evolution of flower morphology has been extensively explored. Yet, the effect of other ecological factors, such as genetic drift, environmental filtering, and allometric constraints, gained less attention. In this study, we addressed the importance of those drivers in a predominantly selfing species. READ MORE

  6. 5. Association between technological properties of bovine milk, cold induced depletion and genetic variants of β- and κ-casein

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Simon Tobias Höxter; [2023]
    Keywords : Milk proteins; casein micelle; β-casein depletion; micelle size; milk coagulation properties Swedish;

    Abstract : Caseins (CN) represent about 80% of the total protein in bovine milk and are of major importance in dairy production. The four casein types, i.e., αs1-, β-, αs2-, and κ-casein are in turn divided into different genetic variants. READ MORE
