Assessment of genetic diversity in plants intended for enrichment planting compared to natural regeneration : a case study in Fjugstad Nature Reserve
Timilsina, Bishnu (Master thesis, 2023)European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is facing severe population decline due to ash dieback disease, which not only poses a threat to the existence of this keystone species but also to more than 480 other species associated ... -
Characterization of genes and proteins related to chitin metabolism in Atlantic salmon
Holen, Matilde Mengkrog (PhD Thesis;2022:46, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Chitin is an insoluble polysaccharide and important component in the extracellular matrix of invertebrates such as arthropods, algae, and fungi. In vertebrates, the role and significance of chitin have not been deeply ... -
CRISPR based functional characterization of the abcg2b gene contribution to muscle pigmentation in Atlantic salmon
Wagnerberger, Johanna Henny (Master thesis, 2020)Red flesh coloration is an important trademark of salmon meat and commonly associated with its quality. The colour intensity is largely controlled by diet composition and mainly caused by the red pigment astaxanthin, which ... -
Evolution of adaptations to temperate climate in the grass subfamily Pooideae
Schubert, Marian (PhD Thesis;2016:89, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Temperate biomes are characterized by strong temperature and photoperiod seasonality and frequently occurring frost. Temperate plants have evolved to overcome challenges like cold stress, prolonged winters and short ... -
Functional interrogation of the elovl5 gene regulation in Atlantic salmon
Ema, Shawline (Master thesis, 2022)Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) and cholesterol are important for different physiological pathways including immunology. As these cannot be synthesized in the teleosts including Salmon itself, food supplement ... -
Genetics of Pooideae freezing tolerance : an evolutionary perspective
Sandve, Simen Rød (PhD Thesis;2010:37, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Freezing tolerance is an important agricultural trait for forage and cereal grasses belonging to the Pooideae sub-family. Many plants, including the Pooideae grasses, go through a cold acclimation (CA) process when exposed ... -
Genomic structural variations as drivers of adaptation in salmonid fishes
Stenløkk, Kristina Severine Rudskjær (PhD Thesis;2023:26, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Structural variations (SVs), e.g. deletions, insertions, inversions and duplications of sequences, are a major source of genomic variation affecting more base pairs in the genome than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). ... -
Low effect of β-mannan on gene regulation in Atlantic salmon
Skog, Marte (Master thesis, 2022)In this thesis the effect of the prebiotic β-mannan on the molecular function of different tissues in Atlantic salmon was tested. As the fiber has proven metabolism-promoting effects in other terrestrial animals and humans, ... -
Transfection optimization and gene editing method establishment for fish cells
Sapkota, Subash (Master thesis, 2021)Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing industries around the world, and salmonoid aquaculture is a very big industry for Norway. Ensuring fish health and welfare is essential for aquaculture, also to avoid economic loss. ... -
Transposable Elements as a Source of Novel Gene Regulation in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
Sahlström, Hanna (Master thesis, 2021)It has become evident over the last decade that transposable elements play an extensive role in gene regulatory evolution. Their ability to transpose close to genes, while also acting as cis-regulatory elements, permits ...
