  1. 1. Drought tolerance phenotyping using thermal imaging : high throughput phenotyping of Pinus sylvestris

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Edvin Bertilsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Scots pine; Pinus sylvestris; drought tolerance; thermal imaging; high throughput phenotyping;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is an emerging problem in the world. One of the many challenges that comes with it is an increase of droughts. Droughts cause stress for plants, which impact the growth. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Vad vet vi om ekotyper? : kunskap och okunskap som påverkar utbudet av torktåliga ekotyper

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Martin Svennerfors; [2023]
    Nyckelord :stadsträd; urban miljö; norra Europa; återförsäljare; beställare; forskning; botaniska trädgårdar; grön infrastruktur; kunskapsspridning; efterfrågan;

    Sammanfattning : Träd i urbana miljöer har förmåga att mildra några av de klimatfaktorer som gör städer till alltmer utmanande platser att leva på för människor och växter. Växtmaterialet i framtidens gröna infrastruktur behöver vara anpassat till vattenbrist, som idag är den mest begränsande faktorn för urban växtlighet. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Can cellular osmolarity be used as a predictor for drought tolerance in common bean?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Ella Köster; [2022-08-16]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a protein and nutrient rich food source grown around the world. Rwanda has one of the highest per capita consumption rates in the world. With climate change threatening food security, the need for more adaptable crops is rising. LÄS MER

  5. 4. CAN LEAF LEVEL GAS EXCHANGE BE USED AS A PREDICTOR FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN COMMON BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS)?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Villemo Holmberg; [2022-08-16]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This study aimed to examine drought tolerance among a variety of landraces of the species Phaseolus vulgaris to discover whether leaf level gas exchange can be used as a predictor for drought tolerance. Beans of different landraces from Rwanda were planted and when they had grown for four weeks a leaf-level gas exchange analysis was carried out, measuring one leaf from each plant both during the day and night.

  7. 5. Heritage cereals : tasty and sustainable? : acceptance and important qualities of heritage cereals

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Malin Ekblad; [2022]
    Nyckelord :heritage cereals; consumer awareness; consumer acceptance; consumer preference; food quality;

    Sammanfattning : Heritage cereals, a group of cereals that have not been subjected to modern crop breeding, have been getting attention due to their generally high genetic diversity, traits like high drought and disease tolerance as well as high nutritional values. Knowledge about how consumers relate to heritage cereals in Sweden is limited, and therefore this thesis aims to, firstly, explore acceptance, awareness and preferences among a specific consumer group; students in the agriculture program at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and, secondly, quality perception in relation to heritage cereals among consumers, bakers and retailers, in a Swedish context.
