  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Applications of molecular characters to breeding of Eucalyptus urophylla in Vietnam

    Author : Tran Ho Quang; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate how to incorporate molecular genetics into the tree breeding program for E. urophylla. The material was a combined provenance and progeny trial, initially including 144 families from open-pollinated trees of nine provenances. READ MORE

  5. 3. Developing affordable high-throughput plant phenotyping methods for breeding of cereals and tuber crops

    Author : Fernanda Leiva; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : High-throughput plant phenotyping (HTPP) is a fast, accurate, and non-destructive process for evaluating plants' health and environmental adaptability. HTPP accelerates the identification of agronomic traits of interest, eliminates subjectivism (which is innate to humans), and facilitates the development of adapted genotypes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nest-site attendance and foraging ecology of the Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) on the Faroe Islands. Is the Northern Fulmar a useful indicator of ecosystem productivity and pollution?

    Author : Johannis Danielsen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nest-site attendance; foraging ecology; indicator species; Fulmar; Fulmarus glacialis; nocturnal activity; ecosystem productivity; pollution; mesopelagic fish;

    Abstract : The Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is one of the most abundant seabirds in the Northern Hemisphere and the most abundant seabird on the Faroe Islands. Except from a few sporadic observations up until the 1950´s no study has focused on this species on the Faroe Islands. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aquatic assessment in the Lake Tumba landscape, RDCongo : fish diversity and conservation

    Author : Adele Mputu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The 80,000 km² Lake Tumba Landscape (LTL) is the only one of the 12 UN Priority Conservation Areas in Africa with a focus on freshwater ecosystems. Surprisingly little though is known about fish in this area. The objective of this thesis is to increase knowledge of fish occurrence in the LTL. READ MORE
