Effects of gamma radiation on growth and development in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Master thesis, 2015-07-28)Different types of abiotic stresses are known to have strong impact on morphological development of plants. Exposure of plants to ionizing radiation such as gamma radiation is potentially damaging, but effects may vary ... -
The effect of UV-B and temperature on photoperiodic control of growth and bud set in Subalpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) and Norway Spruce (Picea abies)
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Perennial plants, such as Norway Spruce and Subalpine Fir synchronize their growth and dormancy to different environmental cues, mainly photoperiod, temperature and light quality. In several plant species the UV-B radiation ... -
Genome-wide association mapping of Fusarium head blight resistance in Norwegian spring and winter wheat lines
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Fusarium graminearum is a species of fungal pathogens known to cause Fusarium head blight impacting grain quality and yield of Norwegian wheat. The genetic background of this disease have been studied over the past two ... -
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 ... -
Effects of light quality and temperature on elongation growth, dormancy and bud burst in Norway spruce (Picea Abies) and subalpine fir (Abies Lasiocarpa)
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Elongation growth and bud development in northern perennials is under photoperiodic control. This preparation for a colder season is induced by a shorter day than the critical day for growth and development. Light quality ... -
Effects of UV radiation and air humidity on morphology, stomatal function and photosynthesis of Euphorbia pulcherrima
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)The combined effects of relative air humidity (RH) and UV radiation were tested on three cultivars of Euphorbia pulcherrima (Willd ex. Klotzch) at different ontogenetic stages in controlled environment growth chambers. In ... -
Miljøeffekter av grønne tak og vegger
(Master thesis, 2015-06-17)Fortetning i urbane områder og klimaendringer med utsikt til høyere temperaturer og større nedbørsmengder har ført til en økende interesse for grønne tak og vegger. Denne oppgaven gir en kort gjennomgang av hva slags ... -
Green roofs for sustainable urban development : the Oslo case study
(Master thesis, 2015-05-12)Rapidly growing cities around the world face complex issues in sustainable urban development. In particular, urban ecological systems and food security are important in ensuring healthy, sustainable cities but they are ... -
Biology and control of the invasive Fallopia taxa
(Master thesis, 2015-05-07)Abstract Fallopia japonica and Fallopia sachalinensis are perennial, rhizomatous plants, native to East Asia, and introduced to Europe in the mid 1800’s. Hybridization between the taxa in the introduced range has given ... -
Fenologisk utvikling i rødkløver
(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Rødkløver (Trifolium pratense) er en viktig plante i grovfôrproduksjonen i Norge. Det er nær sammenheng mellom fôrvekstenes fenologiske utviklingstrinn og deres fôrkvalitet. Både med tanke på praktisk dyrkingsveiledning ... -
Informed nudges : the effects of pre or post informing about motives and mechanisms of nudge based behavioral interventions
(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Nudge based behavioral interventions are increasingly used to address emerging health challenges such as obesity, by helping individuals avoid known human psychological and behaviorally based biases and errors when exercising ... -
Effekt av jordtype og naboskap på blomstring i tidlig restaureringsfase
(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Menneskeskapte endringer i landskapet og innføring av fremmede arter er noen av de mange miljøutfordringene vi har her i Norge. Et viktig skritt for å sikre det biologiske mangfoldet og økosystemprosesser nå og for ... -
Genetic variation in anther extrusion in oats and its relationship to Fusarium
(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Anther extrusion (AE) is a trait that has been studied in wheat for its influence on Fusarium head blight. Fusarium is a disease causing great problems in Nordic small grain production, particularly in oat. However, AE ... -
