Impact of UV radiation on plant growth and development in different climatic regimes
(PhD Thesis;2015:19, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has various effects on the growth, morphology, and biochemical composition of plants. Currently, there is an increasing interest in the manipulation of UV radiation in glasshouses, polythene ... -
The effects of temperature during grain filling on gluten quality of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(PhD Thesis;2015:35, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Wheat production in Norway occurs at the highest latitudes among wheat production areas worldwide, and with lower growth temperature. The proportion of Norwegian wheat in total wheat consumed for food has increased from ... -
Health-related compounds in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) as affected by postharvest temperature, light and UV-B irradiation
(PhD Thesis;2016:05, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) belongs to Brassica vegetables, consumption of which has been shown to reduce the risk of several types of cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality in epidemiological studies. ... -
Winter hardening of Norwegian perennial forage crops in a prolonged growing season
(PhD Thesis;2015:88, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Current climate change models predict that the temperature increase due to global warming will be greatest at higher northern latitudes. Most probably, temperature will increase more during autumn and winter than summer, ... -
Potato quality during storage: effect of maturity level and ventilation strategies : studies on the storage disease Fusarium dry rot
(PhD Thesis;2016:31, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-06)Storage losses of Norwegian potatoes are estimated to approximately 10%. The losses are caused by respiration, transpiration, germination and diseases. These are processes that can be managed by controlling storage conditions ... -
Microdochium nivale in perennial grasses : snow mould resistance, pathogenicity and genetic diversity
(PhD Thesis;2016:32, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-07)Forage production of perennial grass species in the northern hemisphere is limited by their winter survival ability. The predicted future changes in the environmental conditions constitute both opportunities and challenges ... -
Influence of genotype and climatic environment on fruit yield and chemical composition of black currant (Ribes nigrum L.)
(PhD Thesis;2016:40, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-07)Black currant (Ribes nigrum L.) is a widely cultivated soft fruit species, which is renowned for its high berry concentrations of proven, or presumed, health-promoting compounds. Over the last years, there has been a ... -
Fusarium verticillioides and fumonisin management in maize in Ethiopia
(PhD Thesis;2016:18, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-11)Fusarium species are major threats to maize production worldwide, including in Ethiopia. Little has been known about the species composition and prevalence of Fusarium spp. as well as fumonisin contamination level of maize ... -
Detection and validation of disease resistance QTL in wheat
(PhD Thesis;2018:02, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Powdery mildew (PM), Fusarium head blight (FHB) and Septoria leaf blotch (SNB) are devastating wheat diseases. Breeding of disease resistant varieties is an economical and environmentally friendly approach and is given ... -
Phenotypic and genetic studies of waterlogging tolerance in wheat and barley
(PhD Thesis;2018:50, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Stress caused by waterlogging may have considerable impact on yields of wheat, barley and other crops. As climate change projections include increased precipitation in parts of the world, one can expect an increasing demand ... -
Growth, hydraulic and transcriptomic responses to high air humidity and the involvement of abscisic acid (ABA)
(PhD Thesis;2021:65, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The aerial environment, which includes relative air humidity (RH), temperature, vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and CO2 availability, affects plant growth and development in many ways. The aerial environment determines ... -
Yield and quality of vegetables fertilized with materials recycled from organic resources
(PhD Thesis;2021:64, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Agriculture, aquaculture, fishery and households generate large amounts of organic wastes with high contents of nitrogen (N) and other nutrients. Concurrently, supply of off-farm N resources into horticultural production ... -
A study of freezing tolerance in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)
(PhD Thesis;2022:36, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The ability to tolerate freezing temperatures is one of the traits that allows successful overwintering of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) at Nordic latitudes. Freezing tolerance (FT) is enhanced during a period of ... -
Fungicide resistance and resistance dynamics in Botrytis populations in Norway
(PhD Thesis;2022:6, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Grey mould, caused by Botrytis spp., causes serious losses in agriculturally and economically important crops worldwide. Growers in Norway have experienced grey mould control problems, and fungicide resistance in the ... -
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, ... -
