  1. 21. Salt tolerant horticultural plants to save freshwater usage

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Tsun-Ya Chuang; [2024]
    Keywords : climate change; freshwater scarcity; halophyte; salt tolerance; bonsai;

    Abstract : As freshwater becomes scarce worldwide due to climate change and population increases, there is an urgent need to develop innovative approaches to address the issue of reducing freshwater consumption. Selecting species with high ornamental value and salt tolerance for use as green hedges or bonsai in urban or coastal areas could be a strategic approach for promoting greening and maintaining water resource sustainability.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Emily Tåhlin; [2024]
    Keywords : RNA; transcription; cell size; smFISH; Arabidopsis thaliana;

    Abstract : The scaling of organ size with body size - known as morphological allometry - is a fundamental mechanism observed in all organisms (Mirth et al. 2016). READ MORE

  4. 23. Can blue mussel shells be used for retrospective 14C-analysis in the marine environment of nuclear power plants?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Keywords : Gamification; Malmberget; Geometallurgy; Synthetic model;

    Abstract : The concept of gamification is being increasingly explored and applied to offer new teaching or training tools to teachers, students or employees. The field of geology and geometallurgy wasn’t particularly discussed in the topic of gamification. READ MORE

  6. 25. The potential to use rhizobacteria within agricultural innovations instead of chemical inputs : taking quality and quantity of the crop into consideration

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Ida Quisth; Isabella Ulfsparre; [2024]
    Keywords : Biocontrol; Biofertilizer; Biopesticide; Biostimulant; Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria; PGPR; Quality; Rhizosphere Microbiome; Yield;

    Abstract : Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria that occur naturally, colonize the roots of plants and can promote plant growth. PGPR isolated and used as inoculum to seed or plants is mostly marketed as a growth stimulant because it facilitates registration and reduces costs, even though PGPR may also serve as biocontrol products.
