Genetics and breeding

Restoration of tropical rain forests has a high potential to enhance carbon sequestration of degraded land and hence a huge impact on actions to mitigate climate change. To ensure that reforestation

This study compared the abilities of virgin heifer genomically enhanced breeding values and parent average breeding values to predict future cow performance. To increase confidence in genomic

Dynamic laryngeal collapse associated with poll flexion is the most common disorder of the upper respiratory tract in the Norwegian‐Swedish Coldblooded Trotter. The disorder, which has also been

Nordfruit is the short name for a Public Private Partnership project on pre-breeding for future challenges in Nordic apples and strawberries established by participants from 7 Nordic and Baltic

Our PhD students have projects that facilitate domestication and breeding of crops for Nordic as well as tropical growth conditions. DNA-based methods are adapted for studies of genetic variation and

Welcome to our thesis page. There is several students every year whom are doing their bachelor or master thesis at our department. Below are a few examples. Examples of theses done at our department:

We teach and perform strategic and applied research on horticultural and agricultural crops with the aim to provide knowledge, tools and products for a bio-based economy, improved environment and

I am currently a post-doc at the Department of Animal Science (Animal Breeding and Genetics section) at SLU with the main focus on Swedish beef cattle genomic selection project.   My PhD thesis was

Molecular biologist by training with experience in plant genetics and biotechnology. I am passionate about using molecular tools to improve traits of interest in economically important crops. This

Several research groups at SLU work with the "genetic scissor", the gene editing tool which is awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year. A recent popular science publication from SLU describes
