  1. 1. Detection of root borne pathogen causing pea root rot by using minion sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Aderemi Olubode; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most cultivated pulse in the temperate zone, economically important with high nutritional value (high protein content of 20-30%) and relatively low cost. Root rot is its predominant disease, it is referred to as root rot complex because it involves many pathogens. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimised PCR protocol for ten microsatellite primers (SSRs) in Fragaria vesca : Facilitating future work analysing genetic diversity and developing efficient conservation strategies

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Lisa Haglund; [2022]
    Keywords : Crop wild relatives CWR ; PCR; Microsatellites; Fragaria vesca; Conservation; Genetic diversity;

    Abstract : The world faces severe challenges in providing food security for a growing world population during climate change. This puts pressure on modern agriculture, including adapting crops to new environments and cultivation on less acreage. The tools for adapting crops exist within a species' genetic diversity.

  4. 3. CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing in an in vitro model of a familial form of ALS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Fredrik Nilsson; [2018]
    Keywords : ALS; SOD1; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; superoxide dismutase; CRISPR Cas9; sgRNA; stem cell; lentivirus; qPCR; FOXG1; nestin; immunocytochemistry; differentiation; forebrain neural progenitor; Applied Biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration and death of both upper and lower motor neurons for which there is no cure currently available. The degeneration of motor neurons leads to the inability to carry out voluntary movement and death usually occurs 3-5 years after disease onset by respiratory failure. READ MORE

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Jessica Berthelsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Anaplasma; goat; prevalence; Botswana; blood smear; ELISA; PCR;

    Abstract : Anaplasma is a genus of gram-negative, intracellular bacteria infecting different blood cells in animals. Three of the species infect the erythrocytes of ruminants, A. marginale and A. centrale most often infect cattle, while A. READ MORE

  6. 5. The post-glacial colonization of fish populations can be dated with DNA in lake sediments.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Fredrik Olajos; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The age of natural populations is crucial information when studying processes like extinction,colonization, adaptation and evolutionary divergence. Here I evaluate if DNA in lakesediments can be used to date the colonization by whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) in lakes incentral Sweden. READ MORE
