1. 6. Introduction of biological and active Modified Atmosphere Packaging through microorganisms

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Pariya Darvishzadeh; [2013]
   Keywords : Probiotic bacteria; Microorganisms; Active modified atmosphere; Food packaging; Saccharomyces boulardii; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Biology and Life Sciences; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique for modifying internal gas atmosphere of the food package to slow deteriorative reactions inside the package and prolong shelf life of the product. However, due to current limitations of this passive technology, there might be some opportunities for introduction of active MAP through microorganisms. READ MORE

3. 7. Plant defensive mechanisms against insect pests

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

   Author : Joel Markgren; [2012]
   Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana ; ethylene; feeding experiments; glucosinolate-myrosinase ; jasmonic acid; Plutella xylostella; priming; salicylic acid; Spodoptera littoralis ; trichomes;

   Abstract : This study has focused on testing the following two hypotheses:• Pest resistant plants have higher levels and/or several different kinds of secondary metabolites. • Induced defensive systems in resistant plants are activated more rapidly than those of susceptible plants. READ MORE

4. 8. Role of WRKY20 transcription factor and raffinose in plant defense responses upon Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 5113-mediated priming in Arabidopsis thaliana

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

   Author : Jonas Kjellin; [2012]
   Keywords : Priming; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; WRKY20; raffinose; salicylic acid; jasmonic acid; isoamylase;

   Abstract : Biocontrol through beneficial bacteria-mediated priming can promote plant growth and increase resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 5113 has been identified as a promising candidate for priming by increasing stress resistance and promoting growth in oil seed rape (Brassica napus). READ MORE

5. 9. Priming as a strategy to enhance stress tolerance in plants with focus on the role of Brassinosteroid related genes

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

   Author : Malin Thoudal; [2012]
   Keywords : Priming; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ; Arabidopsis thaliana; Brassinosteroids;

   Abstract : It is of interest to gain knowledge of the mechanisms operating behind priming, an important possible strategy to help plants handle stress. The hypothesis is that priming of Arabidopsis thaliana, as a result of colonization of roots using the beneficial bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, stimulates Brassinosteroid (BR) synthesis in plants leading to plant growth promotion and improved defense responses.

6. 10. Biotic priming of growth and stress tolerance in cereals

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

   Author : Martin Palmqvist; [2012]
   Keywords : Biocontrol; crop plant; priming; stress tolerance; wheat; nano material; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens;

   Abstract : Instead of using chemical pesticides for plant protection there is the possibility to activate plants´ innate immunity defense against pests and diseases using bacteria. Many bacteria have been tested for their priming potential while not much research has assessed the priming effect against abiotic stress factors. READ MORE
