  1. 1. Exploration of ways to utilize wheat chaff through fungal substrate conversion : a base for animal feed or substrate for cultivation of edible mushrooms

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2022]
    Keywords : harvest residues; chaff; oyster mushroom; agro-waste reduction; mushroom production;

    Abstract : The shift towards a more sustainable food system emphasises a need for increased circularity and valorisation of available resources. Chaff constitutes one of three main fractions obtained upon harvest of certain crops, during which it is generally discarded on the field. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biomimetically improved materials comprising microfibrillated cellulose

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Cornelia Byström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a renewable, cellulosic material mainly producedfrom wood fibers, which are found in the secondary cell walls of plant cells. With theincreased demand for renewable biopolymer films in packaging, MFC has emerged asa potential alternative to non-renewable polymer films. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  6. 5. Towards a function for an Arabidopsis protein involved in sucrose dynamics

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

    Author : Jonas Skytte af Sätra; [2013]
    Keywords : Sucrose; MAPK; signalling; soluble heteroglycans;

    Abstract : System based models of plants rely on descriptions and assigned functions of genes, and currently 50% of the genes in Arabidopsis thaliana has either no assigned function or a function based on homology only. Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK's) are key players in cell signalling and are conserved among eukaryotes, though their targets are highly diverse. READ MORE
