  1. 1. Selaginella - phylogeny of the South American species within subgenus Stachygynandrum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Hedda Ericsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Selaginellaceae is a family within the lycophytes, and it comprises one genus, Selaginella. They are herbaceous seedless vascular plants found globally, with around 750 species. Selaginella is divided into several subgenera, but there is no classification that is agreed upon. READ MORE

  3. 2. Genetically modified tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants for an increased production of wax esters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Linn Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Wax esters; metabolic engineering; nicotiana tabacum; fatty acid reductase; phytyl ester synthase;

    Abstract : Wax esters (WE) are naturally occurring lipids consisting of a fatty acid bound to a fatty alcohol with an ester bond. As an alternative to petrochemicals, plant-derived WE:s are of considerable commercial interest as lubricants, but have in recent years also received great attention for their potential as a starting material for bio-fuel production.

  4. 3. Isolation of the native chloroplast proteome from plant for identification of protein-metabolite interactions

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Strandberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Chloroplast; metabolism; proteomics; Calvin cycle; Arabidopsis; Kloroplast; metabolism; proteomik; Calvincykel; Arabidopsis;

    Abstract : För att kunna livnära en växande population behöver avkastningen på skördar öka. En lösning på dettaär att optimera plantornas fotosyntes, vilket innefattar förbättrad koldioxidfixering. För att lyckas meddet krävs kunskap i hur reglering av nyckelproteiner i kloroplasten går till. READ MORE

  5. 4. Structural studies of Arabidopsis Chloroplast Glutamyl Endopeptidase (CGEP)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylär biofysik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Shruti Ravi; [2021]
    Keywords : structural studies; peptidases;

    Abstract : Peptidases play an essential role in cell machinery by regulating protein turnover and processing synthesized proteins for cellular transport. The chloroplast is a complex organelle present in plants that host several peptidases. READ MORE

  6. 5. Systematic comparison of the relative accuracy of vegetation surveys and soil DNA metabarcoding : Assessing plant biodiversity at different spatial scales

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Kimmo Kumpula; [2020]
    Keywords : DNA metabarcoding; biodiversity assessment; environmental DNA; high-throughput sequencing; subarctic;

    Abstract : Analysis of soil-derived DNA has been shown to minimize problems seen during traditional vegetation surveys, e.g. by matching the eDNA to a reference database for taxonomic identification rather than relying solely on taxonomic expertise. However, it has been debated to what extent and how accurately eDNA acts as a proxy for biodiversity. READ MORE
