1. Monitoring primary carbon metabolism in plants using heavy isotope labelling and mass spectrometry : ¹³CO₂ labelling, detection and estimation in intact plants
Abstract : This thesis covers the possibilities and limitations of studying primary metabolism in intact plants, with special focus on heavy isotope labelling and mass spectrometry methodology. In paper I, a series of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking one or both genes of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH characterised) were characterised. READ MORE

2. From green to yellow : a leaf story
Abstract : När ett blad gulnar genomgår det både morfologiska och metaboliska förändringar. Denna process benämns senescence och en förbättrad förståelse av dess mekanismer är viktiga både ur ett grundvetenskapligt perspektiv och för potentiella bioteknologiska applikationer. READ MORE

3. Transcriptome profiling and gene editing for biofortification of cassava
Abstract : Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop for millions of people in sub- Saharan Africa. Cassava serves as a food security crop and a good source of energy, but it has relatively low nutritional quality, which has nutritional implications for those who rely on the crop as their main source of calorie intake.

4. Characterization of land plant-specific proteins required for mitochondrial translation initiation
Abstract : Plant mitochondria produce the majority of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the cellular energy currency for metabolic reactions needed for plant growth, development, and maintenance. Despite a relatively thorough understanding of basic mitochondrial functions, many mitochondrial proteins and processes remain poorly understood. READ MORE

5. Alternative pathways in the plant respiratory chain -transgenic analyses of type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases
Abstract : During oxidative phosphorylation, the production of ATP is driven by the activity of several proton-pumping respiratory protein complexes. In plants, non-proton pumping type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases are also present in the respiratory chain to oxidize cytosolic and matrix NAD(P)H. READ MORE
