  1. 1. Studying gene expression scaling with cell size in Arabidopsis thaliana : the role of the nuclear RNA exosome complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Emily Tåhlin; [2024]
    Keywords : RNA; transcription; cell size; smFISH; Arabidopsis thaliana;

    Abstract : The scaling of organ size with body size - known as morphological allometry - is a fundamental mechanism observed in all organisms (Mirth et al. 2016). READ MORE

  3. 2. The role of WRKY 15 in xylem development and salt response in Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Johanna Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : WRKY15; VND; xylem; salinity; water availability;

    Abstract : Xylem is a water-conducting tissue in vascular plants, that absorbs water from the roots and distributes it throughout the compartments, providing the plant with essential water and nutrients for its cellular processes. The xylem, divided into protoxylem and metaxylem, develops differently according to the various abiotic circumstances, in which transcription factors have a crucial role. READ MORE

  4. 3. Drivers of flower size evolution in the selfing species Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Clàudia Fernández Mestre; [2023]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; petal size; fitness; selection; evolutionary drivers; GWAS;

    Abstract : The influence of pollinators on the evolution of flower morphology has been extensively explored. Yet, the effect of other ecological factors, such as genetic drift, environmental filtering, and allometric constraints, gained less attention. In this study, we addressed the importance of those drivers in a predominantly selfing species. READ MORE

  5. 4. Metacaspase type II : Biochemical studies of the activation anddegradation process of calcium-independentmetacaspase type II from Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationellt resurscentrum för biologi och bioteknik

    Author : Anna Vikhagen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Proteases are found in all living kingdoms and are absolute essential for a functional cell to beable to break down peptide bonds. Metacaspases are proteases with the ability to cleave afterarginine and lysine residues. READ MORE

  6. 5. Identification and expression of genes involved in the arabinoxylan biosynthetic pathway in oat

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Johan Valeur; [2022]
    Keywords : Arabinoxylan; Oat; Gene expression analysis;

    Abstract : Oat is one of the most cultivated cereal crops in the world, and Arabinoxylan (AX) is a dietary fiber in oats with positive health effects. The biosynthetic pathway AX in Oat is still unknown, and which genes are active in its production. Ortholog genes have been identified in oat from other species like rice, wheat, barley, and Arabidopsis. READ MORE
