  1. 1. Regulation of non-specific lipid transfer proteins in abiotically stressed Physcomitrella patens

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Sandra Jansson; [2011]
    Keywords : Abiotic stres; cuticle; non-specific lipid transfer protein; Physcomitrella patens; qRT-PCR;

    Abstract : Non-specific lipid transfer proteins is a large and diverse protein family found in plants, with roles in biological systems ranging from long distance signaling to plant pathogen defense. Little is known about the roles of nsLTPs, but recent studies have cast some light on the issue, among other things proposing that they may be involved in the cutice formation on land-living liverworts, mosses and non-seedbearing plants.

  2. 2. Expression pattern of GPI-anchored non-specific lipid transfer proteins in Physcomitrella patens

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Andrey Höglund; [2011]
    Keywords : Abiotic stress; lipid transfer proteins; moss; nsLTP; Physcomitrella patens; qRT-PC;

    Abstract : During the water-to-land transition, that occurred approximately 450 MYA, novel habitats wererevealed to the emerging plants. This terrestrial habitat was a harsh environment compared to theaquatic, with shifting substrate content, irregular supply of water, damaging UV-radiation andrapid fluctuating temperatures.

  3. 3. A bioinformatics approach to investigate the function of non specific lipid transfer proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from Molekylär genetik

    Author : Muneeswaran Jayachandra Pandiyan; [2010]
    Keywords : nsLTPs; Arabidopsis; tissue; stress; regulation;

    Abstract : Plant non specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) enhance in vitro transfer of phospholipids between membranes. Our analysis exploited the large amount of Arabidopsis transcriptome data in public databases to learn more about the function of nsLTPs. READ MORE
