Can fish grow on trees? Nutritional and functional properties of yeasts in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Phd Thesis;2022:11, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Yeasts are gaining attention as alternative ingredients in fish feeds. The nutritional and health potentials of non-saccharomyces yeasts in fish are scarce in literature. Three non-saccharomyces yeasts; Cyberlindnera jadinii ... -
Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Benin: feasibility of biological control
(PhD Thesis;2022:73, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Since its outbreak in 2016 Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) commonly known as fall armyworm (FAW) has caused significant consequences on a range of crops, especially on maize, which is a staple food in most ... -
Genetic diversity, selection signatures and nutritional composition of enset (Ensete ventricosum) from Ethiopia
(PhD thesis;2023:50, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Most of the agrobiodiversity exists in the form of landraces and wild relatives in traditional smallholderbased farming systems. This diversity mainly exists among neglected and underutilized species, so called orphan ... -
Alleles of adaptive importance for barley cultivation in a subarctic climate / Magnus Göransson
(PhD thesis;2023:51, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Barley is the most grown cereal in the Nordic countries, and the fourth most important cereal crop globally. Its use is mainly for feed, but a large portion is also used by the brewing industry. At northern latitudes, such ... -
Grain yield in Norwegian spring wheat : past, present, and future : historical genetic gains, their genetic basis, and prospects of future improvement using phenomics
(PhD thesis;2023:52, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Bread wheat is among the most critical staples worldwide and is essential to Norway’s food production. The aftermath of the green revolution nearly eradicated Norwegian wheat production in the 1950s and 1960s. The lack of ... -
Using genome-wide associations, predictions, and selection to improve fusarium head blight disease resistance in wheat
(PhD thesis;2023:39, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Wheat is a well-adapted hexaploid crop and is a staple food for most parts of the world, commonly called bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The history of first cultivation of wheat dates back to 10 000 years ago. It is ... -
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). ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Participatory and collaborative approaches in sustainability transitions : niche innovations in agri-food systems
(PhD thesis;2023:60, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Agri-food systems contribute to and face sustainability challenges across the entire value chain, from production, distribution, processing to retailing, consumption, and wastage. Organic farming, localized food systems, ... -
Focal dark spots in the skeletal muscle of Atlantic salmon : involvement of rib abnormalities, environmental factors, and local immune responses
(PhD Thesis;2023:67, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Focal dark spots (DS) represent a major fillet quality issue, leading to significant economic losses in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). DS typically appear as discoloured red/black areas in the anterior hypaxial ... -
Very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and their biological functions
(PhD Thesis;2023:83, Doctoral thesis, 2023)The overall aim of this thesis was to gain insight into the bioavailability of dietary very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) and their potential effects on skin and bone health. While well-known omega-3 ... -
Choosy chicks : chicken life quality is a matter of choices

Cow-calf contact in dairy farming : Norwegian cowcalf contact (CCC) farmers’ practice and perceptions, and effects of CCC on behavior and performance on pasture
(PhD Thesis;2023:78, Doctoral thesis, 2024)The separation of cow and calf within the first day after calving is common practice in dairy farming, but cow-calf contact (CCC) systems are receiving increased attention from different stakeholders. This interest is ...
