  2. 1. Modulation of the glycoalkaloid biosynthesis pathway in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and development of CRISPR/Cas9 methodology for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

    Author : Ying Liu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic defence substances present in Solanum species, including the tomato and potato. Concerns about SGA toxicity have long been raised regarding table potato cultivars, and more recently regarding starch potato cultivars, where SGAs negatively affect the use of proteins and fibre from starch by-products.

  4. 2. Agricultural nutrient budgets in Europe: data, methods, and indicators

    Author : Rasmus Einarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phosphorus; nutrient budget; EU; nutrient balance; nitrogen; Europe; indicators; environment; agriculture;

    Abstract : Agricultural production systems feed humanity but also cause a range of adverse environmental effects, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, and pollution of air and water. A main cause of these effects is the emissions of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) that occur as a side effect of nutrient cycling in agriculture. READ MORE

  5. 3. Recycling Filter Substrates used for Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater as Soil Amendments

    Abstract : This thesis studied the viability of recycling filter substrates as soil amendments after being used in on-site systems for phosphorus (P) removal from wastewater. Focus was put on the materials Filtra P and Polonite, which are commercial products used in compact filters in Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanical processing for improved products made from Swedish hardwood

    Author : Jimmy Johansson; Dick Sandberg; František Hapla; Växjö universitet; []

    Abstract : Swedish hardwood is today used in the energy, pulp and mechanical hardwood industries. Only very small volumes of Swedish hardwood are, however, consumed by the mechanical industry that normally pays the highest timber price. READ MORE

  7. 5. Demand for soil, water and forest conservation in Burkina Faso

    Author : Amadou Sidibé; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to investigate how different household characteristics and policy-relevant variables affect individual household demand and willingness to engage in natural resource conservation activities in Burkina Faso. The thesis is based on four individual studies that examine Burkina Faso, a country rich in natural resources such as soil, water, and forests. READ MORE
