  4. 2. Sustainable agriculture : From global challenges to local land management

    Author : John Livsey; Stefano Manzoni; Steve Lyon; Esteban Jobbágy; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agriculture; irrigation; nutrients; soil properties; water management; fertilisation; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : Despite the success of agriculture management practices in increasing the availability of food needed to meet the requirements of the expanding global population, there are increasing demands placed on the resources on which the sector depends. Opportunities for the development of agricultural systems are constrained by increasing competition, from other sectors, for shared resources. READ MORE

  5. 3. Domestication Effects on the Stress Response in Chickens : Genetics, Physiology, and Behaviour

    Author : Amir Fallahshahroudi; Per Jensen; Frank Albert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Animal domestication; stress response; gene expression; QTL; eQTL;

    Abstract : Animal domestication, the process where animals become adapted to living in proximity to humans, is associated with the alteration of multiple traits, including decreased fearfulness and stress response. With an estimated population of 50 billion, the domesticated chicken is the most populous avian species in the world. READ MORE

  6. 4. Monogenic Traits Associated with Structural Variants in Chicken and Horse : Allelic and Phenotypic Diversity of Visually Appealing Traits

    Author : Freyja Imsland; Leif Andersson; Gabriella Lindgren; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Eiríkur Steingrímsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Structural variation; Pigmentation; Domestication; Equids; MNR2; CCDC108; STX17; TBX3; Grey; Dun; non-dun; Rose-comb; Chicken; Genetic mapping; Phenotyping; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Domestic animals have rich phenotypic diversity that can be explored to advance our understanding of the relationship between molecular genetics and phenotypic variation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has become easier to identify structural variants and associate them with phenotypic outcomes. READ MORE

  7. 5. The genetic basis for adaptation in natural populations

    Author : Sangeet Lamichhaney; Leif Andersson; Carl-Johan Rubin; Alvaro Martinez Barrio; Henrik Kaessmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Adaptive evolution; Atlantic herring; ecological adaptation; seasonal reproduction; TSHR; Darwin’s finches; natural selection; beak; ALX1; HMGA2; ruff; lek; inversion; HSD17B2; MC1R;

    Abstract : Many previous studies in evolutionary genetics have been based on few model organisms that can be reared at ease in the laboratory. In contrast, genetic studies of non-model, natural populations are desirable as they provide a wider range of adaptive phenotypes throughout evolutionary timescales and allow a more realistic understanding of how natural selection drives adaptive evolution.
