  1. 11. 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

  3. 12. The role of terpenes produced by Brassica napus in interactions with Verticillium longisporum

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

    Author : Alessandra Ruffino; [2020]
    Keywords : Verticillium longisporum; terpenes; Brassica napus; Arabidopsis thaliana;

    Abstract : Verticillium longisporum is responsible for severe yield losses, especially of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Rapeseed is the third most important source of vegetable oil worldwide. The need to increase rapeseed oil yield is not only because is a source of healthy vegetable oil but also because it is used as a biodiesel. READ MORE

  4. 13. Effects of cold treatment on Arabidopsis thaliana : a study in the change of gene expression levels in some selected COR-genes and composition of important cell membrane lipids of A. thaliana

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

    Author : Artur Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; cold stress; membrane lipids; gene expression; quantification; PCR; extraction;

    Abstract : The effect of cold stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, mouse cress, was examined. The object was to investigate how gene expression and membrane lipid configuration was affected in seedlings when being treated with low temperature. READ MORE

  5. 14. Kloning, överuttryck och upprening av växtakvaporinet AtSIP1;1 i Escherichia coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Johan Zhu; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determine protein structures.

  6. 15. Overexpression of the plant aquaporin AtSIP2;1 in Escherichia coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Hiep Nguyen; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : In molecular biology and biochemistry, it is key to have large amounts of the isolated protein at hand when performing functional and structural studies. Unfortunately, the levels of an individual membrane protein in native tissues is often exceptionally low, making it challenging to purify a sufficient amount. READ MORE
