21. Change for sustainable agricultural business. Addressing business model transformation and sustainable value creation
Sammanfattning : Society is facing global challenges, such as poverty and climate change, that affect entire ecosystems and human communities. Many sustainability challenges arise from existing production and consumption patterns, and thus many believe that business transformation to sustainability is essential to solving global socio-ecological problems.

22. Performance of forage maize at high latitudes : plant development, agronomy and nutritive value
Sammanfattning : Following the development of earlier maturing hybrids the cultivation of forage maize (Zea mays L.) in Northern Europe has markedly increased in recent decades. This has raised needs for greater knowledge regarding the performance of forage maize in marginal areas, such as Sweden, under current conditions. LÄS MER
23. Dissecting the gene regulatory networks behind carbon allocation in plants : ex situ studies on combinatorial and subdomains effects of seed transcription factors
Sammanfattning : Plants store excess energy and metabolites derived from photosynthesis in a variety of storage compounds with starch, protein and triacyglycerol (oil, TAG) being the most common. As humans, we are completely dependent on these compounds either directly as food or indirectly, as materials for large number of goods or feed for animals. LÄS MER
24. On development of production methods for transfer to SMEs
Sammanfattning : The main problem in this thesis is: How should research and development results regarding production methods be represented for better adoption by SMEs? Manufacturing SMEs in Sweden have in general low profit margins and risk to go bankrupt. Different production methods could facilitate the needed performance improvement. LÄS MER
25. Defence related molecular signalling in Potato : new perspectives from “- Omics”
Sammanfattning : Potato production is hampered by several pathogens and is subjected to intense chemical based disease control, use of which also has undesirable consequences. Resistance breeding programs have also shown limited success. Hence, there is a need to develop durable disease resistance. LÄS MER
