    Abstract : Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur odlingsavståndet mellan olika accessioner av böna, Phaseolus vulgaris påverkar sannolikheten för inkorsningar. Phaseolus vulgaris klassas som en i huvudsak självpollinerande gröda men studier har visat att inkorsningar i P. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimisation of PCR Protocol for Microsatellites in Vaccinium myrtillus : A first step in evaluating genetic diversity for future conservation

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Sandra Fahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Crop wild relatives; Conservation; Genetic diversity; Vaccinium myrtillus; Microsatellites; PCR; Annealing temperature;

    Abstract : A growing world population means an increase in crop demand. At the same time climate change threatens food security as crops may become maladapted to a new environment. We need to adapt crops to increase crop yield and become resistant to a changed environment to meet this. READ MORE

  6. 5. Who calls the African Wild Dog? : de novo SNP discovery and genotyping in the Lycaon pictus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Mathilda Bertills; [2021]
    Keywords : snp; single nucleotide polymorphism; african wild dog; lycaon pictus; conservation;

    Abstract : Large carnivores, especially the African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, are vulnerable to human-mediated changes and climate effects. As they are apex predators, they also affect lower trophic levels. Due to anthropogenic land-use changes affecting habitat, prey, and population densities, large carnivore populations are declining.
