  1. 1. The environmental impact of introducing a potato protein for human consumption in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Malou Tromp; [2020]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; food loss; plant-based; genome-editing; potato protein; Life Cycle Assessment;

    Abstract : In this study, a Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA) was conducted on the introduction of a potato protein for human consumption in Sweden. The assessed environmental impact cathegories in the CLCA were the categories global warming potential, eutrophication and land use. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sequence analyses of novel Potato virus YNTN and resistance-breaking PVYO isolates from Sweden

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

    Author : Asmaa Youssef; [2017]
    Keywords : defective RNA molecules; D-RNAs; phylogeny; potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease; potyvirus; PVYNTN; PVY strains; recombination;

    Abstract : Potato virus Y (PVY) is a devastating potato pathogen affecting potato (Solanum tuberosum) production worldwide. In the last few decades, novel PVY recombinant genotypes have been described to induce severe symptoms in numerous potato cultivars. READ MORE

  4. 3. Presence of recombinant Potato virus Y genotypes in Sweden

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

    Author : Asmaa Youssef; [2017]
    Keywords : Potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease; Potyvirus; PVY strains; recombination; virus detection; virus taxonomy;

    Abstract : Potato virus Y (PVY) is the most important and widespread virus infecting potato (Solanum tuberosum) worldwide. Recently, new PVY recombinant genotypes have emerged and their incidence is increasing throughout the world. READ MORE

  5. 4. Agroinfiltration och transient uttryck av CRISPR/Cas9 : en förberedande studie på Nicotiana benthamiana och potatis (Solanum tuberosum L.)

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

    Author : Niklas Olsson; [2014]
    Keywords : CRISPR; Cas9; Agrobacterium; agroinfiltration; Nicotiana; potatis; potatis; in-vivo mutation;

    Abstract : Den senast utvecklade tekniken för riktade förändringar av genom in-vivo är baserad på CRISPR/Cas-systemet för vilket förutsättningarna i Nicotiana benthamiana och potatis, Solanum tuberosum, här undersöktes. För att föra in genkonstruktioner i växterna användes Agrobacterium tumefaciens som via vakuum kommer i kontakt med de inre delarna av bladen varefter de gener som finns på en binär vektor uttrycks transient.

  6. 5. Effector vector design in the Phytophthora infestans-potato pathosystem

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

    Author : Abu Sayeed Tareq; [2012]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; potato genome; effectors; potato pathosystem; effector vector design;

    Abstract : The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans is the causal agent of the devastating plant disease late blight on potato. Diverse type of transposons and many gene families are present in the genome which encodes the effector proteins involved in causing the pathogenicity. READ MORE
