  1. 16. Identifying molecular markers for breeding a future oil crop, Lepidium campestre

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

    Author : Noomi Lodenius; [2023]
    Keywords : glucosinolate content; interspecific hybridization; Lepidium campestre; marker discovery; oil content; oil quality;

    Abstract : The cold hardy novel oil- and cover crop Lepidium campestre is currently being domesticated as a potential oil crop for the Nordic region. To achieve this objective, multiple traits have previously been identified as desirable to improve, including seed oil content and composition, and glucosinolate (GL) content. READ MORE

  3. 17. Multi-environment Screening of Timothy (Phleum pratense) Breeding Material for Better Forage Yield in Sweden.

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

    Author : Ibrahim Issa; [2022]
    Keywords : Phleum pratense; Multi-Environment; Forage yield; Sweden; Genotype-by-environment interaction Swedish;

    Abstract : Timothy (Phleum pratense) is one of the most widely used forage crops in hay and pasture grass mixtures in Nordic countries; it’s also used in areas where it is one of the top forage crops harvested high yield, especially in boreal climates. There hasn’t been any large-scale breeding of Timothy to develop varieties that are adapted for Swedish climate and standards, which is surprising given that Timothy is the main forage crop used in Sweden.

  4. 18. Mapping Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) Habitat Suitability in Baden-Württemberg with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Habitat Suitability; Remote Sensing; Image Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE

  5. 19. Genbanksmaterial av ärt och åkerböna : en inventering av tillgängliga växtgenetiska resurser för förädling för svenska förhållanden

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

    Author : Linnea Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : Pisum sativum; Vicia faba; växtgenetiska resurser; genbanker; växtförädling; svenska förhållanden; inhemskt producerat protein;

    Abstract : För att kunna trygga livsmedelsförsörjningen i världen krävs grödor som är anpassade för odling i olika klimatregioner. Genom växtförädling kan nya sorter av grödor, som är bättre anpassade, tas fram. READ MORE

  6. 20. Assessing the effect of Fusarium graminearum inoculation on the root structure of Swedish winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Fayez Altabbaa; [2022]
    Keywords : Fusarium graminearum; conidium suspension; hypha agar plug; root architecture traits; root cellar structure traits; shoot traits; genotypes;

    Abstract : Several diseases attack the wheat crop and reduce the yield, such as root disease, which causes a tremendous loss in wheat production. Root rot has a variety of causal agents, such as nematodes, viruses, and bacteria, but the most common pathogens causing wheat root rot are oomycetes and fungi. READ MORE
