  1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

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

    Author : Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

    Abstract : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. 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. An Overview Of The Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Of Common Gram Positive And Gram Negative Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Elisabeth Tammi; [2023]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance mechanism; gram negative bacteria; gram positive bacteria;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance in multidrug resistant bacteria cause high mortality rates worldwide, where there has been over 1,000,000 deaths reported as of the year 2019. Antibiotics were thought to be the cure for fighting infectious diseases and preventing further spreading of infection. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dual RNA-seq analysis of gene co-expression and immune response mechanisms in chickens infected by Eimeria tenella

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alma Hansen; [2023]
    Keywords : RNA-seq; Eimeria; bioinformatics; gene co-expression;

    Abstract : Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria parasites is a worldwide problem, affecting chickens and leading to great losses in the poultry industry. Current vaccines are costly and non-optimal, and the parasite has developed resistance to the anticoccidials in use. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation of the role of RNA-binding proteins in bacterial gene regulation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi

    Author : Sophie Baars; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Salmonella is a common food-borne, intracellular pathogen that causes infections in animals and humans. During infection of the host, flagella serve as important virulence factors that enable the bacterium to reach the site of infection and adhere to the host-cell. READ MORE
