  2. 1. Selection, Maternal Effects and Inbreeding in Reindeer Husbandry

    Author : Lars Rönnegård; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : breeding programme; communal grazing; randombred populations; Rangifer tarandus tarandus; semidomestic reindeer; gene flow; reindeer; animal breeding; gene flow; random mating; breeding methods; genetic inheritance; population structure; extensive husbandry; sweden;

    Abstract : In extensive grazing systems where several owners’ flocks are allowed to mix, selection strategies will also interact, due to gene flow between flocks. The aim of the thesis was to analyse breeding schemes in terms of genetic gain and rate of inbreeding (?F), given the complexity of ownership and interaction of selection strategies within a mixing reindeer population.

  4. 2. Reproduction and moult in pied and collared flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca and F. albicollis) : A life-history approach

    Author : Christer Hemborg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Breeding time; Costs of reproduction; Long-distance migrant; Moult-breeding overlap; Sexual conflict; Survival probability; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the trade-offs between investments in reproduction and self-maintenance (moult) in pied and collared flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca and F. albicollis). These two long-distance migratory passerine bird species were studied on the breeding grounds in Fennoscandia and in England. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multiplex markers in a plant breeding perspective

    Author : Mats Hansen; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant biochemistry; plant breeding; SNP; RAPD; molecular markers; AFLP; Växtbiokemi;

    Abstract : Plant breeding is largely depending on the repeated selection for desirable traits. This process is both time and labour consuming, making the development of commercial plant varieties a slow and costly activity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Advancing red clover breeding through genomic selection methods

    Author : Johanna Osterman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Red clover is a major forage legume and a highly valuable crop for Northern Europe due to its high protein value and multiple ecological services. It is an important crop for both the ruminant industry and ecological farming. As growing conditions change due to rapid climate change, the demand for red clover breeding has increased. READ MORE

  7. 5. Novel Methods for Resistance Breeding in Winter Wheat

    Author : Mustafa Zakieh; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Breeding for disease resistance in winter wheat is a critical task in the agricultural industry, as plant diseases can significantly impact crop yield and quality. Traditional breeding methods are time-consuming, and disease resistance screenings are often cost and labour-demanding. READ MORE
