  1. 1. Functional Characterisation of Effectors from Biotrophic and Necrotrophic Wheat Pathogens in Heterologous Expression Systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Mark Melchior; [2023]
    Keywords : wheat; Blumeria graminis; Parastagonospora nodorum; effectors;

    Abstract : Effector proteins play an important role in the interactions between fungal pathogens and their host plant. Recognition of effectors can lead to localised cell death in plants. The necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum utilises this mechanism to induce cell death in wheat and cause Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB). READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards the identification of Tudor SN interactome : cloning of putative interactors

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

    Author : Pernilla Elander; [2015]
    Keywords : Tudor staphylococcal nuclease; cloning; stress granules; processing bodies; programmed cell death;

    Abstract : Tudor staphylococcal nuclease (TSN) is a protein found associated with stress granules (SG) and processing bodies (PB) where it acts as a part of the plant stress response. In plants not much is known for TSN. This project serves as a starting point in our attempt to elucidate the physically interacting proteins of TSN. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identification of Novel Regulators of Mitochondrial Protein Quality Control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : My Bratbakken Lundvall; [2015]
    Keywords : Mitochondrial Quality Control; Oxidative Stress; Ubiquitin ligases; Ubiquitin; Yeast; Parkinson s Disease; Mitochondria; Paraquat; Oxidative Damage; Superoxides; tillämpad biokemi; applied biochemistry; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Chronic pesticide exposure has been linked to several human diseases including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Due to the potential risks to human health, the usage of pesticides has been a controversial topic. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessment of Ultrasound Field Properties and the Potential Effects on Cells

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk teknik

    Author : Zhongze Chen; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ultrasound is regarded a convenient and safe tool to acquire diagnostic information that we need for clinical use. For a long time ultrasound has been counted as a harmless method, but after all, there is a heating and a me-chanical impact by ultrasound exposure. This influence can reveal both positive (e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. Programmed cell death in the moss Physcomitrella patens : studying the role of metacaspases in archegonia development through gene knockout by homologous recombination

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

    Author : Karl Persson; [2012]
    Keywords : Gene technology; Biotechnology; Knockout; Reverse genetics; Homologous recombination; Cloning; Physcomitrella patens; Archegonia; Programmed cell death; metacaspases;

    Abstract : The knowledge of programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is limited. The gene family of caspases in animals is known to be important for the execution of PCD. Putative homologues to caspases have been found in plants and are referred to as metacaspases. READ MORE
