Development, Biomass and Nitrogen Allocation, and Seed-Yield Components in Faba Bean (Vicia faba)
(Master thesis, 2022)Europe has a great demand in plant-protein for food and feed. A high amount of the demand is met by soy import from South America. Europe and Norway aim to become self-sufficient producers in plant-proteins. One of these ... -
Evaluation of Detached Leaflet Assay as a High-Throughput Way to Select for Late Blight Resistant Potato
(Master thesis, 2022)The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the world’s third most important food crop. It is grown all over the world. Late blight is an important disease in potato, caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans. The disease causes ... -
Prevalence of tip rot and carrot supply chain actors’ awareness about the disease in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Gulrot er den viktigste frilandsgrønnsaken dyrket i Norge, og er lagret på kjølelager i opp til 8 måneder for å sikre jevn tilførsel til markedet gjennom vintermånedene og frem til neste sesong. Den lange lagringsperioden ... -
Detection and genotyping of Atlantic salmon structural variants with genome graphs
(Master thesis, 2022)Structural variants (SVs) are defined as genomic rearrangements of 50 base pairs (bp) or larger. Although they are less frequent in the genome, they can account for ten folds more variable base pairs than the widely studied ... -
Undersøkelse av mulige biotiske årsaker til forsinket spiring i potet gjennom DNA-metastrekkoding og morfologisk nematodeanalyse : en casestudie
(Master thesis, 2022)Forsinket spiring hos potetplanter, og redusert avling og kvalitet ble observert på betydelige arealer i flere potetåkere på Engeløya i Nordland i 2018 og 2019. Ingen åpenbar årsak ble funnet. Det ble tatt jordprøver i ... -
Accuracy of genomic prediction using group recordings
(Master thesis, 2022)Group records are the alternative solutions for traits that are affected by group interaction and are difficult or costly to measure on individuals. We aimed to investigate how group size, group composition, and validation ... -
Økt norskandel av mathvete : en undersøkende studie om perspektiver fra hele verdikjeden
(Master thesis, 2022)The proportion of Norwegian food wheat is varying. The weather conditions make it challenging to cultivate wheat in Norway and the market is supplied with imported grain every year. The production of wheat accounts for a ... -
Fine-mapping and characterization of fusarium head blight resistance QTL on chromosome 2D in wheat
(Master thesis, 2022)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease in cereals (and other plants) caused by several plant pathogenic species of Fusarium spp. In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) it infects the kernels, which greatly impacts ... -
Prime editing in zebrafish and Atlantic salmon : exploring a new CRISPR technique in non-mammalian species
(Master thesis, 2022)The CRISPR-Cas system has enabled precise genome editing in a multitude of organisms, and gene knockout experiments can now be done with relative ease due to the simplicity of the system. However, unintended genomic ... -
A study of the gene expression profiles in muscle, liver and intestine of Atlantic salmon fed different omega- 3 fatty acid levels and with red and pale fillet color
(Master thesis, 2022)The economic value of Norwegian salmon production is closely associated with various quality factors of salmon meat like red fillet. Carotenoids are the main pigment in the fish fillet which need to be added to the feed. ... -
Developing Cas9 expressing MDBK cell lines for GeCKO screening against bovine diseases
(Master thesis, 2022)Cas9 expressing MDBK (Madin-Darby bovine kidney) cell lines were produced for a GeCKO (genome scale CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout) screening against Bovine diseases. The lines were transduced with lentiviral vectors containing ... -
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 ... -
Review of viruses in raspberry production
(Master thesis, 2022)Raspberries are one of the commercially most important kinds of berry fruits. Botanically, they are members of the large and diverse genus Rubus and belong to the greater rose family (Rosaceae). The raspberry shrub shares ... -
Evaluation of the effects of Beauveria bassiana on the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis
(Master thesis, 2022)The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) and the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis are effective biological control agents of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), an economically important pest ... -
Effect of early and late mechanical treatments in autumn on bud growth and control of Sonchus arvensis in spring cereals
(Master thesis, 2022)Sonchus arvensis is a perennial weed species that causes problems especially in organic agriculture in Northern Europe. It propagates by seeds and creeping roots. In the present study, the effect on biomass and growth of ... -
Bruken av rensefisk fra et dyrevelferds- og bærekraftsperspektiv : en litteraturstudie
(Master thesis, 2022)Sea lice cause significant challenges for the aquaculture industry due to welfare problems, loss in biomass, delice treatments and interactions between escaped farmed salmon and wild stock. Cleaner fish will naturally eat ... -
Adding far-red light to white LEDs : implications for cucumber seedling morphology, growth, and photosynthesis
(Master thesis, 2022)Far-red (FR) light (700–800 nm) affects photosynthetic efficiency and regulates shade responses, which influences plant morphology and growth. However, plant responses to FR vary widely between environmental conditions, ... -
