    • 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 ...
    • Lokal utprøving av jordbærsorter i Nord-Trøndelag 

      Davik, Jahn (Bioforsk rapport;1(195) 2006, Research report, 2006)
      Et prosjekt for utprøving av jordbærsorter ved Bioforsk Midt-Norge i perioden 2006-2008, blir delvis finansiert av Trønderfrukt og FMLA Nord-Trøndelag. I 2006 ble det følgelig plantet et sortsfelt som vil bli høstet i 2007 ...
