  1. 1. A reason to be bitter : cassava classification from the farmers' perspective

    Författare :Linley Chiwona-Karltun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cassava; bitter; sweet; cyanogenic glucosides; cyanide; sensory analysis; taste; theft; women; food security; SSR-markers; molecular genetics; plant morphology; Malawi; Africa;

    Sammanfattning : Ethnographers report from both South America and Africa that cassava farmers classify cultivars as belonging to either of two groups, "bitter" or "sweet", and that farmers prefer to grow "bitter" cultivars as the staple crop. It remains contentious if the two groups and whether bitterness in taste reflects the content of cyanogenic glucosides in cassava roots. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic diversity and nutritional content of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] accessions from Southern Africa

    Författare :Tiny Motlhaodi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important cereal crop in semi-arid regions of the world especially in Africa, South Asia and China. It is an important food and fodder crop in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa, where it is used for making different kinds of food. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L.) resistance and genetic diversity in field pea (Pisum sativum L.)

    Författare :Abel Teshome; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important source of protein in developing countries like Ethiopia. However, the production of field pea is hampered by invasive pests like the pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L.). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Characterisation of the Latvian and Swedish sweet and sour cherry genetic resources

    Författare :Gunārs Lācis; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : A wide diversity of cherry varieties are collected in the Latvian and Swedish genetic resources collections, which consists of landraces and selections of local breeders, adapted to the local climate and growing conditions (winter hardy and disease resistant) as well as germplasm that results from years of scientific exchange and co-operation with the world’s leading plant research institutes. The introduction of this material into the breeding programs is largely dependent on the level of characterization. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Building knowledge for a forage breeding program on native Festuca species in the highlands of Bolivia

    Författare :Karina Rossio Ustariz Olivera; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Native grasses constitute the most important source of feed for camelids, sheep and cattle in the highlands of Bolivia, where the genus Festuca is one of the major feed components. The two most important species of this region are F. dolichophylla J. Presl (known as “chilliwa”) and F. LÄS MER
