Fruit tree canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, has become a threat for Swedish apple production. No efficient protective measures are available and no complete genetic resistance is known in apple. However, apple genotypes differ in the level of partial resistance which must be fully exploited. We aim to use recent advances in phenotyping for canker resistance to reveal genetic differences among rootstocks and clarify the impact of a rootstock on scion’s ability to resist the infection. Furthermore, we aim to enhance cultivars’ and rootstocks' genetic resistance with cultivation practices such as Ca fertilization. By that we will produce important knowledge and develop efficient tools for reducing canker damages in apple orchards, in Sweden and internationally. This knowledge will also be applicable for other tree species. The project will be performed by an international research team in collaboration with Äppelriket Österlen Ek. För.
Fruktträdskräfta som orsakas av svampen Neonectria ditissima är ett hot för svensk äppleproduktion. Det finns inga effektiva växtskyddsåtgärder mot sjukdomen och ingen fullständig resistens har hittats hos äpple. Det finns genetiska skillnader i partiell resistens mellan olika genotyper som ska utnyttjas fullt ut. Vi ämnar att använda de senaste framstegen inom fenotypning för kräftresistens för att påvisa de genetiska skillnaderna mellan olika grundstammar och klargöra effekterna av grundtam på den ympade sortens förmåga att motstå infektionen. Dessutom ämnar vi att förstärka sorternas och grundstammarnas genetiska resistens med odlingsmetoder som Ca gödsling. Därigenom kommer vi att producera viktig kunskap och utveckla effektiva verktyg för att minska kräftskador i äppleodlingar i Sverige och internationellt. Denna kunskap kommer också att vara användbar på andra växtslag. Projektet kommer att genomföras av ett internationellt forskarlag i samarbete med Äppelriket Österlen Ek.För.

Emotional instability, impulsivity, ongoing self-harm, frequent suicidal crises, interpersonal problems, substance use disorder, cognitive distortions, and severe internal pain are seen in patients with emotionally unstable personality traits. This is a patient group that requires lot of resources …

Effective communication between driver and horse via rein signals is essential for safety and horse welfare. Good driveability should at best reflect the absence of unnecessary harsh equipment. Yet, many trotters suffer from mouth lesions but associations with equipment, rein tension and motion …

Human athletes that perform strenuous exercise in cold climates have a high prevalence of chronic airway inflammation and airway hyper-reactivity. Cold weather exercise can also cause inflammation in equine airways. The Swedish Animal Welfare Act and the equine sport industry have regulations for …

Racing unshod improves the speed, but not all horses have sufficient hoof quality to run barefoot repeatedly without risking health problems. If measures of the ability to race barefoot based on routinely recorded data can be used as a genetic selection tool, it will improve animal health and …

The work in horse stables is commonly characterised by heavy and monotonous work, a low degree of
mechanisation and often outdated and worn facilities, and studies have shown a high prevalence of musculoskeletal
complaints for employees at riding schools. The objective of this study is to evaluate …

The amount and nutritive content of forages has major impact on equine behaviour, health, and disease. In the Nordic countries, forages for horses consist almost exclusively of grasses, and to a limited extent of legumes. Legumes contain more crude protein than grasses, hence locally produced …

The project aims to study the long-term effect of structure liming, and to test if minimum tillage can prolong the duration of this effect. The hypothesis is that structure liming effects diminish over time, but by minimizing soil tillage we can prolong this effect. Studies will be performed in six …

Soil organic carbon is an important factor for soil health and productivity. Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) also plays a crucial role in meeting the climate goals. For that purpose, catch- and cover crops are identified as a cost-effective management practice that combines SCS with other ecosystem …

SLU has developed an innovative technology that converts human urine to high-quality solid fertiliser. On Gotland, SLU and Gotlands Bryggeri have also shown that urine can effectively fertilise barley, which can be processed further to make beer. Over the next few years, SLU and the Bryggeri need …

The risk of soil compaction is high in Sweden, as soils are often wet during field operations and because heavy machinery is used. The predicted increase in precipitation and increase of extreme weather events with heavy rainfall will potentially increase this risk, indicating a need for a reliable …
