  1. 1. Heritability of methane emission in Swedish Red cattle in northern Sweden

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

    Author : Lucy Chipondoro; [2024]
    Keywords : methane emission; heritability; swedish Red cattle; dairy cow;

    Abstract : Dairy cattle contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4), among other livestock species. Methane has a negative impact on climate; therefore, its reduction is a top priority for a sustainable dairy production system. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tritrophic interactions with Silphium integrifolium at the axis : elucidating the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species on plant phenotype

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Philipp Hansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Arbuscular mycorrhiza; mycorrhizal responsiveness; induced plant volatiles; Silphium integrifolium Silflower ; perennial grains; new crops; ecological intensification;

    Abstract : A fundamental understanding of the intricate interactions between crops and their environment may help guide the development of ecologically intensified agriculture. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that can increase a plant’s access to soil resources and have been found to reprogram plant defensive mechanisms, potentially influencing the performance of plant antagonists.

  4. 3. Dyslexia, ADHD and Educational Attainment using Polygenic Score: A Meta-analysis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Simon Lindhagen; [2023]
    Keywords : developmental dyslexia; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; educational attainment; polygenic score; meta-analysis;

    Abstract : Developmental Dyslexia (DD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Educational Attainment (EA) are highly prevalent conditions that have a significant impacton individuals' academic and social functioning.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. How Does Intraspecific Trait Variation Influence the Climate Niche Breadth of Tropical Tree Species?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Helene Hansen; [2022]
    Keywords : intraspecific variation; niche breadth; plants;

    Abstract : With the contribution of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) to ecological processes being increasingly appreciated, its role in defining niche characteristics arises as a topic of interest. I hypothesised that species with a high magnitude of ITV would occupy a larger climate niche breadth than species with little ITV.
