  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. The use of tissue culture methods for producing resistant material of Aesculus hippocastanum : a literature study

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Breeding

    Author : Johan Pettersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Aesculus hippocastanum; resistance; tissue culture; micropropagation; somatic embryogenesis; mikroförökning; somatisk embryogenes;

    Abstract : The horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum is a European species of broadleaf trees classified as vulnerable. The species is subjected to many pathogens and pests threatening its survival. Resistance to some pathogens of horse chestnut has been investigated and tissue culture methods such as somatic embryogenesis have been successful. READ MORE

  4. 3. Morphological characterisation and cryopreservation of sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., accessions at the NPGRC of South Africa

    University essay from SLU/Swedish Biodiversity Centre

    Author : Machoene Tshidi Manamela; [2009]
    Keywords : cryopreservation; duplicate accessions; germplasm; morphological characterisation; NPGRC; phenotypic diversity; sweet potato ; South Africa;

    Abstract : Morphological characterisation of germplasm helps in the identification of duplicate accessions, unique traits and the development of core collection. Cryopreservation serves as a complementary conservation method to field and in-vitro methods. READ MORE

  5. 4. Proliferation studies and extracellular matrix deposition in dynamic, 3-dimensional fibroblast culture

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Katarina Grip; [2006]
    Keywords : tissue engineering; fibroblasts; bioreactor; PET scaffold; dynamic stimulation; proliferation; extracellular matrix;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is a growing multidisciplinary field that works towards restoring, maintaining, and/or enhancing tissue and organ functions. One of the challenges is developing biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds (matrices) that promote cell maturation and organization in vivo. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of transgenic Campanula carpatica plants

    University essay from SLU/Horticulture (until 121231)

    Author : Stefan Bengtsson; [2006]
    Keywords : ethylene; post-harvest; ert1-1;

    Abstract : In Campanula carpatica, the general problem is that the flowers are very sensitive to exogenous ethylene. Flowers that are exposed to ethylene wilt in two to three days. Treating the plants with anti-ethylene compounds can prevent the problems with ethylene. However, these compounds are very expensive and environmentally dangerous. READ MORE
