  1. 1. Drought resistance of Ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Suillus genus

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

    Author : Patricia Salén; [2024]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhiza; drought; Suillus;

    Abstract : Rising instances of drought are causing more tree seedling fatalities post-nursery outplanting. In the face of climate change, fostering resilient forestry practices is imperative for preserving the health and functionality of our forests. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of winter wheat and leafhoppers for wheat dwarf virus : factors causing outbreaks of wheat dwarf disease

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Lina Karm Togo; [2024]
    Keywords : Sweden; Psammotettix alienus; DAS-ELISA; cloning; sequencing; BLASTn; BLASTx; MEGA; SDT;

    Abstract : Wheat dwarf disease is caused by wheat dwarf virus (WDV) and is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. The disease has been reported in many European countries, as well as in West Asia, China, and one country in North Africa. READ MORE

  4. 3. Branching Out with Mixtures: Phylogenetic Inference That’s Not Afraid of a Little Uncertainty

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Ricky Molén; [2023]
    Keywords : Phylogeny; Bayesian analysis; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Variational inference; Mixture of proposal distributions; Fylogeni; Bayesiansk analys; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Variationsinferens; Mixturer av förslagsfördelningar;

    Abstract : Phylogeny, the study of evolutionary relationships among species and other taxa, plays a crucial role in understanding the history of life. Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a widely used approach for inferring phylogenetic trees, but it suffers from slow convergence in higher dimensions and is slow to converge.

  5. 4. Relatedness and diversity in Swedish local chicken breeds using mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences and SNP data

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

    Author : Esther Taiwo Afolabi; [2023]
    Keywords : chicken; genetic diversity; mtDNA d-loop; SNP; Swedish local chicken breeds;

    Abstract : Genetic diversity is the variation in genetic information carried by individuals within a species or population. This variability plays a crucial role in enabling species to adapt and survive in changing environments and is essential for evolutionary processes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Integrative Approaches Illuminate Evolutionary Divergence in the Bar-tailed Lark Complex ( Ammomanes cinctura)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning
