Genetic mapping and identification of a QTL determining tolerance to freezing stress in Fragaria vesca L.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Extreme cold and frost cause significant stress to plants which can potentially be lethal. Low temperature freezing stress can cause significant and irreversible damage to plant cells and can induce physiological and ... -
Influence of light availability and soil productivity on insect herbivory on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) leaves following mammalian herbivory
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Vegetative parts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) are important forage for many boreal forest mammal, bird and insect species. Plant palatability to insects is affected by concentration of nutrients and defense compounds ... -
Predictors of students’ participation in a learning environment survey with annual follow-ups
