  1. 16. Growth and phosphorus uptake of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in an alkaline soil as affected by mineral nitrogen forms and inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Kristina Weimers; [2017]
    Keywords : alkaline soil; ammonium chloride; ammonium nitrate; ammonium sulphate; AMF; Bacillus megaterium; Solanum tuberosum L; P deficiency; potassium nitrate; Rhizophagus irregularis;

    Abstract : In soils with relatively high pH (pH > 7), potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) and other phosphorus (P) demanding crops might suffer from P deficiency despite P fertilization and significant reserves of P in the soil. Also, a high risk for P deficiency for potatoes may be expected when the soil is cold and the root system undeveloped. READ MORE

  3. 17. Presence of recombinant Potato virus Y genotypes in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Asmaa Youssef; [2017]
    Keywords : Potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease; Potyvirus; PVY strains; recombination; virus detection; virus taxonomy;

    Abstract : Potato virus Y (PVY) is the most important and widespread virus infecting potato (Solanum tuberosum) worldwide. Recently, new PVY recombinant genotypes have emerged and their incidence is increasing throughout the world. READ MORE

  4. 18. Allelopatiska egenskaper av tomatidin och andra alkaloider från potatisväxter

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Lukas Hallberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Allelopati; Tomatidin; Alkaloider; Steroler;

    Abstract : Alkaloids are a heterogeneous group of secondary metabolites in plants with toxic attributes. These substances often have toxic effects on different organisms and are found in many species of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). READ MORE

  5. 19. Resistance against Dickeya solani in potato with the help of a susceptibility gene

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Jon Bancic; [2017]
    Keywords : potato; Dickeya solani; susceptibility gene; blackleg;

    Abstract : Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a staple crop across Europe, including Sweden. Among the reasons why it is so ubiquitous is its fairly easy cultivation, good adaptability to various climates, and high nutritional value. Today’s potato production is based on disease-free seed tubers. However, this technology often proves to be insufficient. READ MORE

  6. 20. Characterisation of free and conjugated protease inhibitors from Solanum tuberosum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Kristoffer Lundmark; [2017]
    Keywords : enzyme; trypsin; chymotrypsin; pancrease protease; serine protease inhibitors; SPI; potato tubers; potato; Solanum tuberosum; immobilized; aluminium oxide membranes; inhibitor-enzyme interaction;

    Abstract : The main purpose of the master thesis project is to investigate the influence of selected serine protease inhibitors (SPI) on the catalytic action of the serine proteases chymotrypsin and trypsin, in a conjugated and non-conjugated state. The inhibitors included for this study were extracted from Solanum tuberosum, i.e.common potato. READ MORE
