Deciphering the genetic background of quantitative traits using machine learning and bioinformatics frameworks
(2021-10-08)In this thesis, I developed two frameworks that can help highlight the genetic mechanisms underlying quantitative traits. In this regard, my focus was to design efficient methodologies to discover genotype-phenotype ... -
Deciphering the genetics of pig complex traits through QTL mapping and positional candidate cloing
(2007-02-12)Most traits in livestock are controlled by multiple genes and are therefore called genetically complex traits. In this thesis, we firstly report the molecular characterization and evaluation ... -
Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying complex traits using bioinformatics and computational biology approaches
(2022-12-06)With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, multi omics studies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) are becoming increasingly popular to decipher the molecular patterns in association ... -
Decision Making under Uncertainty in Developed and Developing Countries: An Experimental Analysis of Farmers’ Risk Attitude and Investment Behavior
(2014-06-18)The papers of the dissertation focus on decision making under uncertainty of farmers in developed and developing countries and apply experimental approaches in order to investigate farmers’ risk attitude and investment ... -

(2012-12-18)This dissertation is divided to three essays that summarise groundwater demand studies in pistachio production of the Rafsanjan aquifer in southeastern Iran from three different methodological approaches. It is said that ... -
Demand for Processed Indigenous Fruit and Vegetable Products – Insights from East Africa
(2022-06-24)There is an increasing understanding that food systems need to provide not only calories but micronutrients as well. Simultaneously, consumption patterns are transforming around the globe. Convenience foods that are quick ... -
Designing incentive mechanisms for sustainable land management: evidence from Indonesia
(2015-08-12)Over the last five decades, the growing demand for ecosystem services, such as food, water and fuel has led to the most rapid and extensive changes in ecosystems in human history. Examples for these transformations include ... -
Detailed genetic analysis of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) winter-hardiness and related traits
(2007-09-12)Among grain legume species, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) could reduce the dependency of the European Union on international supply of vegetable protein. In order to promote and to genetically ... -
Detailed genetic approach to improve frost tolerance of German winter faba beans
(2014-06-04)A number of experiments were conducted to genetically analyze frost tolerance in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) based on a set of 208 highly homozygous lines. The lines were divided into three groups namely the original set ... -
Detection and effects of latent contamination of potato tubers by soft rot bacteria, and investigations on the effect of hydrogen peroxide on lipopolysaccharides of Erwinia carotovora in relation to acquired resistance against biocides
(2001-11-16)For a sensitive detection of latent contamination of potato tubers by soft rot causing erwinias [Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica (Eca), and Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc)], ... -
