(Master thesis, 2021)Bruken av kompostert plantemateriale som en komponent i vekstmedier og til jordforbedring kan medføre et potensiale for spredning av plantepatogener. Kunnskap om patogeners respons på ulike komposteringsforhold er nødvendig ... -
Perceived drivers of change among mountain farmers and linkages to agroecological resilience in Norway.
(Master thesis, 2023)Using Q-Methodology, the objective of this study was to describe drivers of change processes in Norwegian mountain farming for the region of Valdres, as perceived by farmers themselves. This mixed-methods approach intended ... -
Perception and sensoric quality difference of tilapia fish species in Morogoro Region, Tanzania
(Master thesis, 2015-11-04)This study aimed at evaluating consumer perception and quality preference of tilapia fish in the Morogoro region, Tanzania. For consumer preferences, a total of 85 respondents were interviewed from six wards of the Morogoro ... -
Perceptions of land abandonment in the Swiss Alps and the role of Regional Natural Parks in revitalizing them
(Master thesis, 2023)Agricultural and natural ecosystems are major shapers and products of a landscape; over time, the perception of interactions between the two has evolved significantly. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition ... -
Phenology and effect of climate on apple cultivars (Malus Domestica Borkh.) in Norway
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Successful fruit growing is dependent on a good control of flower-bud formation (FBF), knowledge on the timing of developmental processes in the tree, and how these are related to each other in the Norwegian climate and ... -
Phenotypic and genetic studies of waterlogging tolerance in wheat and barley
(PhD Thesis;2018:50, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Stress caused by waterlogging may have considerable impact on yields of wheat, barley and other crops. As climate change projections include increased precipitation in parts of the world, one can expect an increasing demand ... -
Phenotypic and genotypic charcterization of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota
(Master thesis, 2022)Knowledge of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota falls behind the research done about the human gut microbiome. Creating greater understanding of the bacteria present and their capabilities helps to create a ... -
Phenotypic and genotypic variation in the allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica and its parent species A. thaliana and A. arenosa : an investigation of a possible model for studies of polyploidy and invasiveness
(Master thesis, 2014-09-26)Species that possess more than two sets of chromosomes are denoted as polyploids. It is hypothesized that polyploids show high gene redundancy, hybrid vigour and masking of deleterious alleles, and that this make them ... -
Phenotypic characterization and ploidy level determination of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) gene bank accessions and cultivars
(Master thesis, 2020)Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is the most grown perennial grass species all over the world, because of the rapid regrowth and good nutritional composition. Winter survival is challenging when growing perennial ... -
Phenotypic effects of a fertility mutation in Norwgain White Sheep
