  1. 1. Functional analysis of effectors from Blumeria graminis and their effect on the plant microbiome

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Victor Olsson; [2022]
    Keywords : proteins; Heterologus protein expression; Effector proteins; Nicotiana benthamiana; Pichia pastoris; Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici;

    Abstract : With an expected population of 10 billion by the next century, agricultural production has to increase at the same pace to match such demand. One of the main obstacles to achieving this are the pathogenic microorganisms that reduce food quality and yields every year. READ MORE

  3. 2. Genetically modified tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants for an increased production of wax esters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Linn Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Wax esters; metabolic engineering; nicotiana tabacum; fatty acid reductase; phytyl ester synthase;

    Abstract : Wax esters (WE) are naturally occurring lipids consisting of a fatty acid bound to a fatty alcohol with an ester bond. As an alternative to petrochemicals, plant-derived WE:s are of considerable commercial interest as lubricants, but have in recent years also received great attention for their potential as a starting material for bio-fuel production.

  4. 3. Regulation of Plant Defense Genes Against Bacterial Pathogens

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Jenny Sjöström; [2021]
    Keywords : plant defense; PTI; FLS2; SERK1; regulation; växtförsvar; PTI; FLS2; SERK1; reglering;

    Abstract : Sjukdom på grödor orsakad av bakterier kan bidra till ekonomiska förluster för bönder samt brist på mat, därför är det viktigt att utveckla nya hållbara sätt att motverka och behandla grödor mot bakterier. Idag är det mest vanliga tillvägagångssättet antibiotika men detta är inte hållbart p.g.a uppkomst av antibiotikaresistens. READ MORE

  5. 4. Role of Potato mop-top virus RNA-TGB in pathogenesis and synergism with Colombian potato soil-borne virus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Jana Sondermann; [2020]
    Keywords : potato mop-top virus; colombian potato soil-borne virus; potato; south america;

    Abstract : Potato is one of the most important food crops in the world, providing staple food to variety of cultures around the globe. Due to its importance, pathogens affecting its production have a considerable impact on local economies, mainly in developing countries where the production relies on small farms. READ MORE

  6. 5. Heterologous expression and purification of Nicotiana benthamiana Cellulose synthase-like B (NbCslB)

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Olivia Ståhl; [2020]
    Keywords : Biotechnology; Cellulose Synthase-Like B; Glycoscience; Glycosyltransferase; Hemicellulose; Nicotiana benthamiana; Bioteknik; Cellulosasyntasliknande B; Glykosyltransferas; Glykovetenskap; Hemicellulosa; Nicotiana benthamiana;

    Abstract : Hemicelluloses are synthesized by proteins encoded by genes from the cellulose synthasegene superfamily. One subgroup of this gene family is the cellulose synthase-like B, which islargely uncharacterized and unexplored. The common model organism Nicotianabenthamiana has one such gene in its genome, NbCslB, encoding a membrane protein. READ MORE
