  1. 1. Why coconut water is both a biostimulant and an anti-cancer agent

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Estefany Reyes Estevez; [2021]
    Keywords : Cocos nucifera; phytohormones; cytokinins; kinetin; kinetin riboside; zeatin; iP; functional foods; cancer; cell cycle; micropropagation; tissue culture;

    Abstract : Coconut water (CW) naturally contains phytohormones called cytokinins, which exist in different forms like kinetin, kinetin riboside and zeatin. The bioactive cytokinins in plants are the zeatin-type, and these natural compounds exert many vital plant physiological effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. Promoting lateral bud growth in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) : comparing the foliar application of synthetic phytohormone and coconut water

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Johan Valeur; [2020]
    Keywords : sweet potato; Ipomea batatas; apical dominance; phytohormones; coconut water; foliar application; biostimulant; vegetative propagation;

    Abstract : Sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) is an important crop grown worldwide with a rising interest in production in Europe and Sweden. Swedish producers are looking for ways to grow the crop but are facing problems because of low-quality slips from import which leads to a non-profitable production. READ MORE

  4. 3. Studies of the role of tRNA-isopentenyl-transferases in the formation of cytokinins

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

    Author : Grzegorz Furman ; [2011]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; Physcomitrella patens; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; tRNA isopentyltransferases; cytokinin biosynthesis;

    Abstract : Plant tRNA isopentenyltransferases (tRNA-IPT, EC 2.5.1.8) have two roles, modification of tRNA and contribution to cytokinin synthesis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Storskalig mikroförökning av Malus domestica, Solanum tuberosum och Rubus idaeus i bioreaktorer

    University essay from SLU/Plant Breeding and Biotechnology (until 121231)

    Author : Rikard Holst; [2011]
    Keywords : mikroförökning; potatis; äpple; hallon; äpple; cytokinin; auxin; gibberellinsyra; bioreaktor; agar;

    Abstract : The importance of micropropagation has increased to provide the increasing fields with true to type and healthy plants. Traditional plants are growing on solid agar-based medium but lately liquid medium has become a new opportunity. This study has focused on a new bioreactor, developed on large scale micropropagation. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L. READ MORE

  6. 5. Studies of root formation of micropropagated shoots in vitro and cuttings from light treated mother plants ex vitro

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Science

    Author : Yvonne Hedman; [2005]
    Keywords : Aristolochia manshuriensis; micropropagating; rooting; etiolation; callus formation; auxins; activated charcoal; riboflavin; dipping solution;

    Abstract : The ornamental plant Aristolochia manshuriensis is difficult to propagate by cuttings and therefore a propagation method in vitro has been developed. However the published method has several limitations due to unpredictable and low rooting percentage as well as low survival rate. READ MORE
