1. 16. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits

   University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Breeding

   Author : Karl-Johan Fabo; [2021]
   Keywords : spring barley; plant breeding; root growth; early vigor; seminor roots; GWAS; QTL; quantitative traits; quantitative genetics; marker-assisted breeding; hydroponics;

   Abstract : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. READ MORE

3. 17. Increasing food system sustainability using solar powered atmospheric water

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för kvalitets- och maskinteknik

   Author : Hanna Gustrin; [2021]
   Keywords : Hydroponics; distilled water; water scarcity; sustainable agriculture; climate analysis; humidity; solar power technology;

   Abstract : This study investigates the possibilities of applying water generated from the atmosphere for agricultural processes, particularly hydroponic systems. A solar powered, off-grid greenhouse system is proposed as a theoretical solution to food production, in areas affected by water scarcity. READ MORE

4. 18. Optimizable Hydroponic Plant Incubator : Building a hydroponic plant incubator with a highly optimizable environment

   University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

   Author : Jonathan Ling; Gustav Lindstrand; [2021]
   Keywords : Hydroponic systems; Mechatronics; Plant growth; Optimization; Hydroponiska system; Mekatronik; Odling; Optimering;

   Abstract : This report investigates how to build a compact, optimizable and at the same time user friendly hydroponic systemfor growing plants as efficiently as possible. Hydroponics grows plants using water with dissolved nutrients instead of soil, allowing faster and more efficient growth. READ MORE

5. 19. The Quest for the Hydroponic Pepper : Applying Design Research Methodology to Develop Support Tools for Successfully Designing a Post-harvest System for a Plant Factory
