  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

    Abstract : Solute carriers consist of over 400 genes and 66 subfamilies and are the largest group of membrane bound transporters. They facilitate movement of many molecules through cells and organelles and are crucial for upholding many key functions in the human body. They are also involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. READ MORE

  5. 4. Gene expression editing in myeloma cell lines using CRISPR/Cas9 technique

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Wilma Wadman; [2023]
    Keywords : BMPR1A; BMPR2; bone morphogenetic protein; gene knockout; multiple myeloma;

    Abstract : Multiple myeloma, or myeloma, is a bone marrow cancer which characterizes by uncontrolled proliferation of mutant plasma cells. It is a disease that claims many lives every year, mostly due to the absence of curative treatment. Finding a suitable treatment is therefor of great importance. READ MORE

  6. 5. Molecular characterization of vascular malformations using single-cell RNA sequencing and immunohistological analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Norrén; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : CCM is a human disease in which vascular malformations develop in the central nervous system, predominantly in the brain.
