• A ddRAD based linkage map of the cultivated Strawberry, Fragaria xananassa 

      Davik, Jahn; Sargent, Daniel J.; Brurberg, May Bente; Lien, Sigbjørn; Kent, Matthew Peter; Alsheikh, Muath K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch.) is an allo-octoploid considered difficult to disentangle genetically due to its four relatively similar sub-genomic chromosome sets. This has been alleviated by the ...
    • Accumulation dynamics of transcripts and proteins of cold-responsive genes in fragaria vesca genotypes of differing cold tolerance 

      Fattash, Isam; Deitch, Zachary; Njah, Relindis Ghai; Osuagwu, Nelson Uchechukwu; Mageney, Vera; Wilson, Robert Charles; Davik, Jahn; Alsheikh, Muath K; Randall, Stephen K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06-07)
      Identifying and characterizing cold responsive genes in Fragaria vesca associated with or responsible for low temperature tolerance is a vital part of strawberry cultivar development. In this study we have investigated the ...
    • A chromosome-level genome sequence assembly of the red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) 

      Davik, Jahn; Røen, Dag; Lysøe, Erik; Buti, Matteo; Rossmann, Simeon; Alsheikh, Muath K; Aiden, Erez Lieberman; Dudchenko, Olga; Sargent, Daniel James (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-16)
      Rubus idaeus L. (red raspberry), is a perennial woody plant species of the Rosaceae family that is widely cultivated in the temperate regions of world and is thus an economically important soft fruit species. It is prized ...
    • Genetic Characterization of the Norwegian Apple Collection 

      Gilpin, Liv; Røen, Dag; Schubert, Marian; Davik, Jahn; Rumpunen, Kimmo; Gardli, Kristina Alme; Hjeltnes, Stein Harald; Alsheikh, Muath K (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05-12)
      Commercial fruit production in Norway is located at around latitude 60° north, demanding a careful choice of adapted cultivars. The most comprehensive collection of apple genetic resources in Norway is being kept in the ...
    • Genetic mapping and identification of a QTL determining tolerance to freezing stress in Fragaria vesca L. 

      Davik, Jahn; Wilson, Robert Charles; Njah, Relindis Ghai; Grini, Paul Eivind; Randall, Stephen K,; Alsheikh, Muath K; Sargent, Daniel James (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-21)
      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 ...
    • Identification of QTLs for powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis; syn. Sphaerotheca macularis f. sp. fragariae) susceptibility in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) 

      Sargent, Daniel J.; Buti, Matteo; Surbanovski, Nada; Brurberg, May Bente; Alsheikh, Muath K; Kent, Matthew Peter; Davik, Jahn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-19)
      Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis Wallr.) is a pathogen which infects the leaves, fruit, stolon and flowers of the cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa), causing major yield losses, primarily through ...
    • Yield predictions of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) in Norway under future climate scenarios 

      Hellton, Kristoffer Herland; Amdahl, Helga; Thorarinsdottir, Thordis; Alsheikh, Muath K; Aamlid, Trygve S.; Jørgensen, Marit; Dalmannsdottir, Sigridur; Rognli, Odd Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-07-26)
      The perennial forage grass timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is the most important forage crop in Norway. Future changes in the climate will affect growing conditions and hence the yield output. We used data from the Norwegian ...
