   Abstract : Arbetet är en litteraturstudie som beskriver tio växtskadegörare som angriper de örtartade perennerna i vår trädgård. I arbetet har jag valt att beskriva skadegörare vi kan hitta på växter ur astersläktet, aklejsläktet och blåsippsläktet. READ MORE

3. 12. The effectivity of vacuum impregnation with glycerol and secondary metabolites on electroporated arugula leaves to improve freezing stability.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Oscar de Kuijer; [2021]
   Keywords : Pulsed electric field PEF; Arugula; Electroporation; Secondary metabolites; Glycerol; Food engineering; Livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : Freeze damage is a common issue in many food items. The cellular dehydration caused by freezing can be prevented through addition of a cryoprotectant. Research has shown that it is possible to improve the freezing tolerance of plant materials by addition of cryoprotectants, which forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. READ MORE

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : George Lukhava; [2021]
   Keywords : Food Engineering; Food Preservation; Pulsed Electric Fields; PEF; Vacuum Impregnation; VI; Arugula; Cryoptrotectant; Glycerol; Secondary Metabolites; Folic Acid; Folate; Folacin; Vitamin B1; Thiamine; Thiamin; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : As of 2020 an estimated number of 821 million people across the world are undernourished and that figure is expected to grow by 2 billion before the end of 2050 (United Nations Sustainable Development 2020). Despite this, every year over 1/3 of food produced globally is disposed of without consumption (Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition 2018), and the actual number might be much higher.

5. 14. Evaluating patterns of selection in reproductiveand digestive protein genes of seed beetles. : A comparative approach.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Konstantinos Papachristos; [2021]
   Keywords : Seed beetles; Seminal fluid proteins; Female reproductive proteins; Digestive Proteins; Natural selection; Molecular evolution;

   Abstract : Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) have been shown to affect the physiology,behaviour and immune responses of mated females in some species. Thisopen window for manipulation of female’s fitness allows the possibility forcomplex evolutionary dynamics between the SFPs and proteins of femalesthat would counter the effects of the former, the female reproductive proteins (FRPs).

6. 15. The role of terpenes produced by Brassica napus in interactions with Verticillium longisporum

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

   Author : Alessandra Ruffino; [2020]
   Keywords : Verticillium longisporum; terpenes; Brassica napus; Arabidopsis thaliana;

   Abstract : Verticillium longisporum is responsible for severe yield losses, especially of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Rapeseed is the third most important source of vegetable oil worldwide. The need to increase rapeseed oil yield is not only because is a source of healthy vegetable oil but also because it is used as a biodiesel. READ MORE
