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

   Author : Tua Lilja; [2023]
   Keywords : genetics; nitrogen fixation; sustainability; symbiosis; taxonomy;

   Abstract : Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii (Rlt) is a root-associated soil bacterium (rhizobia) capable of entering a symbiotic relationship with various species of clover (Trifolium sp.) and fix nitrogen within root nodules. READ MORE

3. 12. Identifying molecular markers for breeding a future oil crop, Lepidium campestre

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

   Author : Noomi Lodenius; [2023]
   Keywords : glucosinolate content; interspecific hybridization; Lepidium campestre; marker discovery; oil content; oil quality;

   Abstract : The cold hardy novel oil- and cover crop Lepidium campestre is currently being domesticated as a potential oil crop for the Nordic region. To achieve this objective, multiple traits have previously been identified as desirable to improve, including seed oil content and composition, and glucosinolate (GL) content. READ MORE

4. 13. Identification and expression of genes involved in the arabinoxylan biosynthetic pathway in oat

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

   Author : Johan Valeur; [2022]
   Keywords : Arabinoxylan; Oat; Gene expression analysis;

   Abstract : Oat is one of the most cultivated cereal crops in the world, and Arabinoxylan (AX) is a dietary fiber in oats with positive health effects. The biosynthetic pathway AX in Oat is still unknown, and which genes are active in its production. Ortholog genes have been identified in oat from other species like rice, wheat, barley, and Arabidopsis. READ MORE

5. 14. Födovalspreferenser hos en arktisk specialist : vad föredrar Gynaephora groenlandica (Lepidoptera:Erebidae) att äta på Wrangelön?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Beatrice Elfvenfjärd; Erika Åmansson; [2022]
   Keywords : Gynaephora groenlandica; arktisk ullbjörnslarv; födopreferenser; arktisk tundra; arktisk specialist; växtegenskaper;

   Abstract : The Arctic tundra has many unexplored areas. Due to the harsh climate and the difficult accessibility, there is a lack of knowledge about the different species that live under these circumstances. Herbivores in this environment have a large effect on the plant community, one of these is the moth butterfly larva Gynaephora groenlandica. READ MORE

6. 15. Characterization of ulvan polysaccharide degrading enzymes from Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

   Author : Erik Apelqvist; [2022]
   Keywords : Enzyme; Enzymatic characterization; Recombinant protein producaiton; Protien purification; E. coli; W. fucanilytica; Transformation; Overexpression; Seaweed; Ulvan; Polysaccharides; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to fully characterize the enzyme WFp-105, including bioinformatic analysis, structural modeling, full activity and stability characterization and product determination. As well as for the enzyme WFp-37; optimize protein production in regard to expression strains and cultivation temperature, analyzing the genomic context as well as performing an initial activity detection.
