  2. 1. Cyanobacteria in symbiosis with boreal forest feathermosses : from genome evolution and gene regulation to impact on the ecosystem

    Author : Denis Warshan; Ulla Rasmussen; Elke Dittmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyanobacteria; Feathermosses; Symbiosis; Boreal forest; Gene flow; Proteogenomic; Transcriptomic; Community structure and composition; Dinitrogen fixation; Plant Physiology; växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Among dinitrogen (N2)-fixing some cyanobacteria can establish symbiosis with a broad range of host plants from all plant lineages including bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. In the boreal forests, the symbiosis between epiphytic cyanobacteria and feathermosses Hylocomium splendens and Pleurozium schreberi is ecologically important. READ MORE

  4. 2. Metabolic engineering of Crambe abyssinica for producing high erucic acid oil

    Author : Rui Guan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Vegetable oils are renewable and more environmentally friendly than fossil oils, and thus are good alternatives to fossil oils for industrial applications. Erucic acid (C22:1Δ13) is a valuable feedstock in the chemical industry. The current plant sources for erucic acid production are high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) and mustard. READ MORE

  5. 3. Defence related molecular signalling in Potato : new perspectives from “- Omics”

    Author : Dharani Burra; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Potato production is hampered by several pathogens and is subjected to intense chemical based disease control, use of which also has undesirable consequences. Resistance breeding programs have also shown limited success. Hence, there is a need to develop durable disease resistance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies towards late blight control in potato

    Author : Laith Moushib; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oomycetes; plant induced resistance; sustainable agriculture; plant defence activators; plant innate immunity; potato; late blight;

    Abstract : Abstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring the role of gene duplications in plant-insect interactions

    Author : Hanna Nicole Dort; Christopher Wheat; Noah Whiteman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plant-insect interactions; comparative genomics; detoxification; transcriptomics; nitrile-specifier proteins; butterflies; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : As evolutionary biologists, we are often curious about the genomic origins of our favorite adaptations. Although some innovations certainly arose de novo, many more originated through the process of whole-gene or within-gene duplication. READ MORE
