  1. 16. Capillary Organic Electronic Ion Pump for Delivering Malic Acid - Towards Better Understanding of Drought Tolerance in Tropical Plants

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Laboratoriet för organisk elektronik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Alexandra Sandéhn; [2021]
    Keywords : malic acid; malate; ion delivery; implantable devices; organic bioelectronics; plants; Teknisk fysik; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Delivery of biologically relevant ions such as drugs, neurotransmitters and hormones have been recognized as powerful a tool to control physiology of animals and plants for research purposes and practical applications. In the plant research community, ions are most commonly delivered as part of a solvent by soaking, spraying, pipetting or by adding to the soil. READ MORE

  3. 17. Evaluating the suitability of carbon source from fermentation of primary filter sludge for biological nutrient removal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Sanna Sahlin; [2021]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment; batch activity tests; NUR tests; anaerobic P release tests; EBPR; denitrification; removal rates; internal carbon source; fermentate; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Traditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. READ MORE

  4. 18. 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

  5. 19. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Breeding

    Author : Karl-Johan Fabo; [2021]
    Keywords : spring barley; plant breeding; root growth; early vigor; seminor roots; GWAS; QTL; quantitative traits; quantitative genetics; marker-assisted breeding; hydroponics;

    Abstract : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. READ MORE

  6. 20. Biowastes for Plant Production : a guide to plant biostimulants

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Toolie-Mina Anderback; [2021]
    Keywords : biological waste; by-products; organic inputs; fish protein hydrolysate; vermicompost; seaweed extract; fish waste; macro algae;

    Abstract : Biostimulants are a suggested tool to achieve sustainable plant production. These are products sourced from biological processes or extracted from biological material, which induces physiological responses in plants. READ MORE
