   Abstract : Antibodies are the gold standard molecular recognition elements and a cornerstone of molecular biology. They are used in immunoassays to precisely measure a specific analyte, but certain targets are especially challenging. Difficult targets include small molecules and molecules that do not induce an immune response. READ MORE

6. 30. Protoplast isolation and transformation in sweetpotato

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

   Author : Jakob Steiner; [2022]
   Keywords : Protoplast; Sweetpotato; Isolation; Transformation; Regeneration; Callus; Propagation; In-vitro; Solanales; Celluase; Cell; Plant; Leaf; Petiole; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Med målet att utvärdera en mindre restriktiv teknik för genmodifiering i sötpotatis (Ipomoea batatas), både gällande ekonomiska begränsningar såväl som det tid och energi bemödande som ett sådant projekt oundvikligen påbrår, har vi arbetat flitigt med att etablera optimerade parameters för protoplast isolation och fortsättningsvis också utforskat lovande protokoll för transformation och regeneration av dessa protoplaster, för att slutligen framställa nya genotyper. Således har en extensiv litteraturundersökning av tidigare publicerade protokoll, varav explantor från sötpotatis men också relaterade arter inom Solanales ordningen har diskuterats, utfärdades varefter datan analyserades via diverse avancerade statistiska modeller.
