1. On Food Price Implications from Expanded Bioenergy Production
Sammanfattning : Bioenergy has been put forward as a solution to energy security and at the same time to climate change. It is, however, dependent on productive agricultural land, which is a limited resource. LÄS MER
2. 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
3. Diversifying crop rotations for sustainable production and climate change adaptation
Sammanfattning : Industrial cropping systems are increasingly simplified, with fewer crops being grown, requiring extensive use of inputs, and contributing to environmental pollution and climate change. Solutions are needed to reduce the negative effects, while retaining productivity in the face of increasingly frequent detrimental climatic conditions. LÄS MER
4. Genomic-led potato breeding
Sammanfattning : Most cultivated potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are polyploids with tetrasomic inheritance (2n = 4x = 48), which makes breeding for new improved cultivars more complicated compared to diploid crops. LÄS MER
5. Value chain and nutritional analyses of warqe food products in relation to post-harvest losses
Sammanfattning : Food losses and waste are global problems, but are particularly critical in food-insecure countries. Losses from root and tuber crops are known to be high in developing countries, where much of the population is dependent on these crops. LÄS MER
