Can Technology Improve Forage Quality?A new PhD study shows how better measurement, smarter harvest timing, and technical processing can improve forage utilization.
Training the next generation of plant phenotyping researchers: participants reflect on the NOVA PhD course at NMBUThis summer saw the latest edition of the PhD course 'High-Throughput Field Phenotyping and Vegetation Mapping'. The five-day course combines lectures from leading experts with extensive hands-on trai…
Plants Use Day Length to Time Their FloweringUnstable winters mean that winter cereal crops may need to time their spring flowering more according to day length and less according to winter cold in the future. Fortunately, this trait is already …
Drones and genetic information could revolutionise the breeding of lucerneBy combining drone technology, genomic data and advanced models, one of the world’s most important forage crops, lucerne, can be bred more quickly and efficiently.
From theory to practice: A forum for cross-sector collaboration towards a future that safeguards people, animals and natureMaster’s students in Circular Urban Agriculture, Angelika and Inger-Helene, have completed an internship with the organization Pådriv this semester, where they gained experience with hands-on project …
Why Some Plants Survive Radiation Better Than OthersResearch at the Section for Genome Biology (BIOVIT) investigates how and why different plant species respond differently to radiation exposure, revealing major differences in their ability to detect a…
Understanding the mechanisms of recombination in Atlantic salmonA new PhD study provides insights into the diversity and evolution of the PRDM9 gene in Atlantic salmon. The findings reveal that variation in this gene underpin different patterns of recombination th…
Professor Bjørg Heringstad has been awarded the prestigious J. L. Lush Award in Animal Breeding for 2026The award is presented to researchers who have carried out outstanding work in the field of livestock breeding and genetics, with particular significance for the development of milk production.
How to Better Safeguard Genetic Diversity Using Genomic DataIn her doctoral research, Oda Braar Wæge demonstrates how genomic tools can be used to achieve genetic progress while limiting the loss of genetic diversity.
How early water temperatures are critical to shaping a fish’s futureNew research at NMBU reveals how and why precise water temperatures are important for proper development of Atlantic salmon organs during the early stages of their lives, with strong implications for …
