6. Exploring resistance to Aphanomyces cochlioides in sugar beet
Sammanfattning : Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the two main sources of sucrose, second only to sugar cane, accounting for nearly 30% of sugar production worldwide. The viability of the crop is threatened by the attack of pathogens that cause various diseases, resulting in severe yield losses. LÄS MER
7. Factors affecting fatty acid composition in forage and milk
Sammanfattning : The aims of the studies underlying this thesis were to evaluate variations in fatty acid (FA) contents of plants used as forage for dairy cows in northern Sweden, and their effects on the FA contents of the milk. Initially, samples of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) were subjected to different pre-treatments prior to analysis. LÄS MER
8. Banana xanthomonas wilt and potato bacterial wilt in Rwanda : biology, risk factors and farmers’ awareness
Sammanfattning : Banana (Musa spp.) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) are important food and cash crops worldwide as they contribute to food security and income generation for farmers. Despite their importance, banana and potato do not reach their potential production due to a number of limitations, including pests and diseases. LÄS MER
9. Rhizobacteria associated to Vitis vinifera and their effect on the control of Xiphinema index, Meloidogyne ethiopica and Vitis growth
Sammanfattning : Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the most important pests affecting the growth of vineyards due to the destruction of new roots. Several species are associated with this problem, the most important being the ectoparasite Xiphinema index and the endoparasite Meloidogyne ethiopica. LÄS MER
10. Developing affordable high-throughput plant phenotyping methods for breeding of cereals and tuber crops
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
