  1. 41. Biotic priming of growth and stress tolerance in cereals

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Author : Martin Palmqvist; [2012]
    Keywords : Biocontrol; crop plant; priming; stress tolerance; wheat; nano material; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens;

    Abstract : Instead of using chemical pesticides for plant protection there is the possibility to activate plants´ innate immunity defense against pests and diseases using bacteria. Many bacteria have been tested for their priming potential while not much research has assessed the priming effect against abiotic stress factors. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Joakim Nordström; [2012]
    Keywords : straightening; Bauschinger effect;

    Abstract : The main purpose with this investigation was to clarify when or if specific grades will soften or harden during the straightening process in a seven roll cross roll straightening machine. The aim was solely made to include tubes which had been cold worked to achieve high yield strength levels. READ MORE

  5. 44. Evaluation of HMA fracture mechanics-based thermal cracking model.

    University essay from KTH/Transportvetenskap

    Author : Sen Lin; [2011]
    Keywords : Hot Mix Asphalt; Low temperature cracking; HMA fracture mechanics; Thermal cracking model; SuperPave IDT; Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Test;

    Abstract : Low temperature cracking is an important form of asphalt pavement deterioration in cold regions. The cracks develop when thermally induced stresses exceed the fracture resistance of the asphalt pavement. READ MORE

  6. 45. Stress-induced alternative splicing of Serine/Arginine-rich proteins in the moss Physcomitrella patens

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Jessica Olsen; [2011]
    Keywords : Alternative splicing; Physcomitrella patens; Serine Arginine-rich proteins; Stress;

    Abstract : Plants are sessile organisms and thus more exposed to stressful environments. By changing the expression of stress related genes, plants are able to cope with stress. Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA is a major contributor to proteome diversity in eukaryotes. READ MORE
