How a resource center for urban agriculture can provide multidimensional tools for social inclusion. The case study of Godsen, Drammen.
(Master thesis, 2023)Urban agriculture has been identified as an opportunity to provide multidimensional tools for social development in urban areas. In this thesis, social development is defined as “concepts that aims to improve and promote ... -
Optimization of Greenhouse Waterlogging Tolerance Screening and Low-Cost Seminal Roots Phenotyping Methods for Spring Wheat
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Climate change projections predict that precipitation in Norway is likely to increase, and flooding and waterlogging scenarios will likely be more frequent in the future. Wheat is sensitive to waterlogging ... -
Skin health and product quality of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) fed increased LC-PUFAs from micro algae (Schizochytrium sp.)
(Master thesis, 2023)The Atlantic salmon is a valuable protein source that can increase food security for the growing world population. However, there is an urgency of novel sustainable ingredients to support production growth in the Aquaculture ... -
Evolution of flowering adaptations in temperate grasses
(PhD Thesis;2023:64, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Grasses (Poaceae) represent an unparalleled evolutionary success story and are particularly well adapted to the environmental challenges posed by temperate habitats. Crucial to their evolutionary success in temperate ... -
Moratferd i kalvingsbingen
(Master thesis, 2023)Sammendrag Landbrukssektoren er i stort fokus ettersom forbrukerne er mer opptatt av hvor maten kommer fra og dyrevelferden i produksjonssystemene. Ku og kalv skilles fra hverandre i melkeproduksjon, noe som forbrukerne ... -
Developing a practical tool to assess hunger in Norwegian red calves
(Master thesis, 2023)Restrictive feeding practices are commonly employed for dairy calves, but it is imperative to recognize that hunger adversely affects the health and well-being of these young animals. This research aims to develop a practical ... -
Establishing efficient transformation technologies for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in Lolium perenne L.
(Master thesis, 2023)Den diploide fôrgressarten flerårig raigras (Lolium perenne L.) er den vik?gste fôrgressarten i Europa. Den brukes både i eng og beite og er en avgjørende komponent i husdyrproduksjonen fra drøvtyggere (melk og kjøY) på ... -
Genomic structural variations as drivers of adaptation in salmonid fishes
(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). ... -
Forming links in the forage : a (meta)genome-centric metaproteomic approach to connect rumen microbial functions
(PhD Thesis;2023:59, Doctoral thesis, 2023)The rumen microbiome operates in close symbiosis with its ruminant host, where the rumen functions as a fermentation chamber for the conversion of complex recalcitrant carbohydrates into nutrients that represent the ... -

Effects of Blue Light on Assimilation, Growth, Morphology, and Water Usage in Cucumber Seedlings
(Master thesis, 2023)Blått lys (BL) kan påvirke plantevekst og -utvikling på flere måter, og agurk (Cucumis sativus) er spesielt sensitiv for lyskvalitet. Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke hvordan ulike andeler BL påvirker assimilasjon, ... -
Feed intake, milk yield and variation in the reticulo-rumen pH with Norwegian Red dairy cows given access to concentrate feeds differing in the level of local ingredients
(Master thesis, 2023)When trying to achieve a higher degree of self-sufficiency, there is a challenge with the high starch levels in grain and the Norwegian climate, which is not particularly well adapted to the cultivation of oil crops. To ... -
Molecular dissection of the role of plant hormones in perennial shoot branching
(PhD Thesis;2023:17, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Shoot architecture in deciduous trees is determined by the apical meristems and the lateral branching. The formation of above-ground architecture perennials is regulated by a complex spatial-temporal regulation. For decades, ... -
Exploring farmers' perspectives on Community Supported Agroforestry: The role of CSA structures in promoting agroforestry implementation
(Master thesis, 2023)This study explored the potential of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) structures in promoting agroforestry practices in Flanders. While government subsidies, extension services, and research trials have been extensively ... -
Heritability of longevity in the Icelandic sheep breed and the reproduction factors affecting it
(Master thesis, 2023)In recent years higher focus has been put on increasing welfare and decreasing negative environmental effects of animal production. One way to access this is increasing and understanding the factors affecting the animal’s ... -
Mjølfôr med høy norskandel for broilere sammenlignet med pelletert fôr og dens effekt på tilvekst
(Master thesis, 2020)Mjølfôr er et spennende alternativ til konvensjonelle pellets. På mange måter spiller denne formen på mange av styrkene som er unike hos fjørfe. Blant annet med å stimulere broilernes krås. Dette forsøket er basert på et ... -
