  1. 1. Winter wheat exudates : Improving wheats resilience to drought

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Freja Haverland; [2024]
    Keywords : drought; PGPR; exudates; agriculture; food security;

    Abstract : Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a crop that dominates the diets of about 35% of the world's human population. But wheat yields can be severely affected by drought. Therefore, in this experiment, root exudation of winter wheat was compared to find out how exudation changes during drought stress. READ MORE

  3. 2. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
    Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

    Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Markpackning och rötter som en möjlig strukturförbättrare

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Elizabeth Lövstaf; [2018]
    Keywords : markpackning; rötter; markstruktur;

    Abstract : Markstrukturen är av avgörande betydelse för en grödas tillväxt och funktion. I marken sker upptaget av vatten- och näring för rötterna och en god miljö är en viktig faktor för att en växt ska utvecklas väl. Dagens jordbruk med tyngre och ökad användning av maskiner innebär större påfrestningar på marken. READ MORE

  5. 4. Impact of plant ecotype on Bacillus-mediated growth promotion : extending beyond the standard model plant

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Staffan Matzén; [2018]
    Keywords : bacillus; growth promotion; root exudates; volatiles;

    Abstract : This study investigated how bacterial treatment modulates plant growth. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens UCMB5113 was used for treatment of several different natural accessions (ecotypes) as well as mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana. Treatment effect on plant root architecture was studied in particular. READ MORE

  6. 5. Biotiska faktorers inverkan på markstrukturen

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Sanna Krüger Persson; [2017]
    Keywords : markstruktur; näringsväv; feedback; markorganismer; aggregat;

    Abstract : Soil structure is a key factor in the functioning of soil, including its ability to support root growth. Soil structure influences the circulation of nutrients and affects the gas exchange, and acts as habitat for the soil organisms. READ MORE
