  1. 1. Analysis of winter wheat and leafhoppers for wheat dwarf virus : factors causing outbreaks of wheat dwarf disease

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

    Author : Lina Karm Togo; [2024]
    Keywords : Sweden; Psammotettix alienus; DAS-ELISA; cloning; sequencing; BLASTn; BLASTx; MEGA; SDT;

    Abstract : Wheat dwarf disease is caused by wheat dwarf virus (WDV) and is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. The disease has been reported in many European countries, as well as in West Asia, China, and one country in North Africa. READ MORE

  3. 2. The production of recombinant 6LZE_A and NS2B-NS3 in E. coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Raluca Svensson; [2024]
    Keywords : coronavirus; dengue; protease; pandemic; SARS-Cov-2; DENV; viral replication; proteins; Escherichia coli; DL-BAPNA; computational modeling; recombinant protein production; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives. Due to its facile way of spreading from one individual to another, the number of infected cases has gone up to more than 750 million to this day. READ MORE

  4. 3. Microbial production of chemical building blocks from lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Kevin Bertilsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Lignin; Green plastic; Vanillin; Microbial production; Applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Plastics, derived from fossil fuels, have raised considerable environmental concerns. This has prompted the search for sustainable and safer plastic precursors alternatives. One alternative explored in the present study is vanillin, a phenolic compound derived from lignin, an abundant and renewable natural polymer. READ MORE

  5. 4. Salt tolerant horticultural plants to save freshwater usage

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Tsun-Ya Chuang; [2024]
    Keywords : climate change; freshwater scarcity; halophyte; salt tolerance; bonsai;

    Abstract : As freshwater becomes scarce worldwide due to climate change and population increases, there is an urgent need to develop innovative approaches to address the issue of reducing freshwater consumption. Selecting species with high ornamental value and salt tolerance for use as green hedges or bonsai in urban or coastal areas could be a strategic approach for promoting greening and maintaining water resource sustainability.

  6. 5. Color and wing size: identifying targets of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ellen Pääjärvi Våg; [2024]
    Keywords : Sexual selection; wing interference patterns; Drosophila melanogaster; visual signaling; sexuell selektion; vingmönster; bananfluga; visuell signalering;

    Abstract : This study explores the relationship between wing size, coloration, and reproductivesuccess in Drosophila melanogaster, fruit flies. Sexual selection, a key aspect ofevolutionary biology, often involves visual signaling as a means of displaying geneticinformation. READ MORE
