Investigation of miRNAs enrichment and degradation in bovine granulosa cells during follicular development
(2014-12-01)
The granulosa cells in the mammalian ovarian follicle respond to gonadotropin signalling and are involved in the processes of folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation. Although, several studies have been done on spatio ...
Implications of topography and agronomic practices for soil biogeochemical and microbiological properties in Upper Eastern Ghana hilly farmland
(2022-02-10)
While topography can infer erosion potential, implementation of convention practices can trigger accelerated erosion, and both pose major threats to soil abiotic properties and microbiota. The majority of farmlands in the ...
Sensor-Based Phenotyping of Plant’s Physiological Responses to Abiotic Stress
(2022-02-03)
Plant phenotyping can be defined as the systematic recording of morphological, anatomical, physiological and chemical characteristics of plants, as well as their developments and responses to stimuli. The common use of ...

(2017-03-02)
In der heutigen Gesellschaft spielt das Thema Nachhaltigkeit eine bedeutende Rolle. Gerade Lebensmittel, die von Konsumenten tagtäglich konsumiert werden, unterliegen einer besonderen Beobachtung. Die zunehmende Konzentrierung ...
Genetic variation of traits related to salt stress response in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2017-01-24)
Salinity is one of the most severe abiotic stresses perceived by plants, and is continuously increasing due to climatic change and poor irrigation management practices. It is currently affecting ~800 million hectares of ......
Die Versalzung des Bodens zählt zu den größten abiotischen Stressfaktoren für Pflanzen, und steigt durch den Klimawandel und ein schlechtes Wassermanagement kontinuierlich. Zur Zeit sind etwa 800 Millionen Hektar weltweit ......

Global mRNA and miRNA transcriptome profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to investigate the host immunogenetic response to PRRSV vaccination in pigs
(2017-01-20)
This dissertation aims to identify the candidate genes of the functional network of host immune response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccine in pigs; to explore the breed differences on ...
Effects of heat and drought stress on cereal crops across spatial scales
(2017-02-10)
The production of cereal crops is increasingly influenced by heat and drought stress. Despite the typical small-scale sub-regional variability of these stresses, impacts on yields are also of concern at larger regional to ...
Analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) resistance to cereal cyst nematode Heterodera filipjevi by genome-wide association mapping
(2017-02-14)
The cereal cyst nematode Heterodera filipjevi is an important plant parasite causing substantial yield loss in wheat. The use of resistant cultivars is the preferable method to manage this nematode, however, only few ......
