  1. 6. Dwindling diversity : attitudes and knowledge among different stakeholders about loss of agrobiodiversity in Nepal

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

    Author : Stina Mortensen; [2019]
    Keywords : Nepal; agrobiodiversity; conservation; attitudes;

    Abstract : Nepal’s rich agrobiodiversity is rapidly decreasing, as local varieties of crops are replaced by imported hybrid or improved varieties. At the same time, in light of the increasingly apparent effects of climate change, the need for a broad genetic base in order to maintain the ability to adapt to new conditions is evident. READ MORE

  3. 7. Icke-destruktiva mätningar av fröers fuktinnehåll för att avgöra minimumtorktiden för fröer som ska långtidbevaras

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : David Nimblad Svensson; [2018]
    Keywords : ERH; EMC; fuktinnehåll; frö; långtidsbevaring; genbank; torkningskurvor; hygrometer;

    Abstract : För långtidsbevarandet av fröer har fuktinnehållet stor betydelse. Hos genbanker är mängden frö ofta begränsat vilket gör att en icke-destruktiv metod är önskvärd. En sådan metod utnyttjar att fröers fuktinnehåll förändras utefter vad luftfuktigheten är i den omgivande miljön. READ MORE

  4. 8. Mathematical modeling of seed bank dynamics in population genetics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Anna Martin; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : We study the genealogical structure of samples from a population for which any givengeneration is made up of direct descendants from one randomly chosen previousgeneration. These occur in nature when there are seed banks or egg banks allowingan individual to leave offspring several generations in the future. Kaj et al. READ MORE

  5. 9. Solutions from Below : A strategic approach for the sustainable management of organised community seed banks

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Laurent Serrure; Lucia Beltrame and Zachary Rootes; [2013]
    Keywords : seed banks; agriculture; biodiversity; crop diversity; food sovereignty; strategic sustainable development.;

    Abstract : Organised community seed banks (OCBSs) are one of the main tools to preserve crop diversity at a local level and therefore constitute an important driver for local resilience, as well as an important tool to move society towards sustainability. Agriculture is a fundamental leverage point for society: it fulfils a basic survival need as well as being one of the causes of humans’ unsustainable impact on the environment. READ MORE

  6. 10. Relative female reproductive output of grafted Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) clones planted on different places

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

    Author : Yordan Tellalov; [2006]
    Keywords : clone female fertility; clone origin; ramet survival; Pinus sylvestris;

    Abstract : A necessary decision when a clonal seed orchard is established is the choice of the clones. The goal of a seed orchard is to produce many seeds of a high genetic quality. READ MORE
