Development of new online method to cleaning of quality seeds

Scope

Bachelor or thesis

English summary

There is an increasing need for quality seeds for special purposes (e.g. golf courses, playing fields, and lawns). The common denominator for these is that one seeks seeds of cultivated plants with a high germination capacity.

One of the methods available is to use near infrared reflectance and transmission (...

Effect of endophytes on the carbon mobilization in perennial ryegrass during re-growth under stress

Scope

Masters special project

Summery

Endophyte growing in the inter-cellular spaces of the grass host acts as a sink to the nutrient resources of the host whereas plant gets added agronomic advantages in turn. However, in cases of severe stress conditions, leading to nutrient l...

Endophyte dormancy and survival during harvest and storage of ryegrass seeds

Scope

Masters special project

Summery

Neotyphodium endophytes in grasses have generated a lot of commercial interests because of the increased stress tolerance and low maintenance costs. There are already a few patented strains in the markets with claimed benefits. However, the endophyte transfer to the see...

Growth regulation in perennial ryegrass for seed

Scope

Bachelor or thesis

English summary

Growth regulation in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) has shown increased yield in Oregon, USA, whereas trials in Holland have shown varying results. In Denmark the available data material covering growth regulation trials is sparse. Growth regulation in grass seed carries longer spikes and by that more seeds per...

Optimum strategy for supply of Nitrogen to golf grasses

Scope

Bachelor or thesis

English summary

A previous statistical analysis of the relationship between climatic data and the seed yield in perennial ryegrass has shown that the global solar radiation 14 days before harvest and the soil moisture content in mid May were important to obtain a high seed yield. We cannot control the solar radiation 14 days before har...

Quantitative and qualitative determination of carbohydrates in seed production of perennial ryegrass

Scope

Bachelor or thesis

English summary

A statistical analysis of the relationship between climatic data and the seed yield in perennial ryegrass has shown that the solar radiation 14 days before harvest was a very important factor in the explanation of the variation in the seed yield. In this period the accumulation of nitrogen and carbohydrate compounds tak...

Studies on the interaction of Neotyphodium endophyte and micorrhiza in perennial ryegrass

Scope

Masters special project

Summery

Objective of this project is to understand the two way interaction of endophyte and the mycorrhiza with the perennial ryegrass host. Both the Neotyphodium endophyte and mycorrhiza live symbiotic...
