  1. 1. The Impact of Abiotic Stress on Alternative Splicing in Lipid Transfer Protein in Marchantia polymorpha

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Linnéa Fredén; [2018]
    Keywords : Abiotic stress; Marchantia polymorpha; alternative splicing; intron; non-specific lipid transfer proteins; drought; cold;

    Abstract : All plants have a protection against the surrounding environment called a cuticle coating. When this cuticle coating is constructed it is believed that the family of protein called lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) is involved. The LTPs are small and cysteine rich. In Marchantia polymorpha the groups of LTPs called LTPd and LTPg can be found. READ MORE

  2. 2. The Effects of Abiotic Stress on Alternative Splicing in Non-specific Lipid Transfer Proteins in Marchantia polymorpha

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Hanna Ahlsén; [2018]
    Keywords : abiotic stress; alternative splicing; cold; drought; Marchantia polymorpha; non-specific lipid transfer proteins; LTP;

    Abstract : Due to global warming, our planet will experience more extreme weather conditions. Plants can protect themselves against these abiotic stress conditions with their stress response, which includes alternative splicing of certain genes. READ MORE

  3. 3. Regulation of non-specific lipid transfer proteins in abiotically stressed Physcomitrella patens

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Sandra Jansson; [2011]
    Keywords : Abiotic stres; cuticle; non-specific lipid transfer protein; Physcomitrella patens; qRT-PCR;

    Abstract : Non-specific lipid transfer proteins is a large and diverse protein family found in plants, with roles in biological systems ranging from long distance signaling to plant pathogen defense. Little is known about the roles of nsLTPs, but recent studies have cast some light on the issue, among other things proposing that they may be involved in the cutice formation on land-living liverworts, mosses and non-seedbearing plants.

  4. 4. Expression pattern of GPI-anchored non-specific lipid transfer proteins in Physcomitrella patens

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Andrey Höglund; [2011]
    Keywords : Abiotic stress; lipid transfer proteins; moss; nsLTP; Physcomitrella patens; qRT-PC;

    Abstract : During the water-to-land transition, that occurred approximately 450 MYA, novel habitats wererevealed to the emerging plants. This terrestrial habitat was a harsh environment compared to theaquatic, with shifting substrate content, irregular supply of water, damaging UV-radiation andrapid fluctuating temperatures.

  5. 5. A bioinformatics approach to investigate the function of non specific lipid transfer proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Muneeswaran Jayachandra Pandiyan; [2010]
    Keywords : nsLTPs; Arabidopsis; tissue; stress; regulation;

    Abstract : Plant non specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) enhance in vitro transfer of phospholipids between membranes. Our analysis exploited the large amount of Arabidopsis transcriptome data in public databases to learn more about the function of nsLTPs. READ MORE
