  2. 1. Modification of flavonoid content and photosynthesis by ultraviolet-B radiation. Atrazine-tolerant and -sensitive ultivars of Brassica napus

    Author : Louise Olsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; recovery; quercetin; photosynthesis; photoinhibition; photoacoustics; leaf anatomy; kaempferol; flavonoid; D1 protein; fluorescence; cold stress; carbon dioxide; atrazine tolerance; Brassica napus; UV-B; Physiological biophysics; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-320 nm) radiation reaching the Earth´s surface increase due to stratospheric ozone depletion. In this thesis the effect of enhanced UV-B radiation was studied on the atrazine-tolerant mutant Stallion, susceptible to photoinhibition, and the atrazine-sensitive cultivar Paroll of Brassica napus (oilseed rape).

  4. 2. Molecular development of a thermostable β-glucosidase for modification of natural products

    Author : Sami Khan; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : Thermotoga neapolitana; TnBgl1A; Mutagenesis; Flavonoid; Quercetin; Immobilisation; Chaperones;

    Abstract : The gene encoding a β-glucosidase originating from the extreme thermophile Thermotoga neopolitana has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The aim was to produce a thermostable enzyme that could be used to remove sugar residues from glucosylated natural products classified as flavonoids by applying a method combining extraction in hot pressurized water with enzymatic hydrolysis.

  5. 3. Improving flavonoid production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using synthetic biology tools

    Author : Dany Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolic engineering; biosensors; in vivo directed evolution; enzyme scaffolding; yeast;

    Abstract : Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites and represent one of the largest classes of natural products. Due to their health-beneficial properties, they have found potential applications in foods, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, their production is based on extraction from plant material. READ MORE

  6. 4. Organelle movement in melanophores: Effects of Panax ginseng, ginsenosides and quercetin

    Author : Therese Eriksson; Rolf Andersson; Samuel Svensson; Ingemar Lundström; Robert Kronstrand; Per Hammarström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : melanophores; Panax ginseng; ginsenosides; quercetin; organell anterograde transport; endothelin-3; mitogen activated protein kinase; protein kinase C; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Panax ginseng is a traditional herb that has been used for over 2000 years to promote health and longevity. Active components of ginseng include ginsenosides, polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, peptides, vitamins, phenols and enzymes, of which the ginsenosides are considered to be the major bioactive constituents.
