  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Development of Transgenic Potatoes to Attain Novel Starch Qualities

    Author : Mariette Andersson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; Biokemisk teknik; Biochemical technology; StGH; starch yield; RNAi; antisense; gene silencing; ahas; potato transformation; sbe2; sbe1; gbss; amylopectin; amylose; Starch; potato;

    Abstract : Starch is a plant-derived polysaccharide with many uses in different food and non-food applications. In this thesis, the production of two novel potato starch qualities, amylopectin and high-amylose, and the modifications and the characteristics of the produced plants and starches are described.

  5. 3. Acrylamide in Potato Crisps - A Three-year Study on Swedish-grown Potatoes

    Author : Gunilla Viklund; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Potato varieties; Asparagine; Acrylamide; Potato crisps; Reducing sugars;

    Abstract : Acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen, has been found at mg/kg levels, in heat-treated carbohydrate-rich foods. Acrylamide is formed via the Maillard reaction as a result of the reaction between the amino acid asparagine and reducing sugars (glucose and fructose). READ MORE

  6. 4. Metal Affinity Peptides in Biotechnological Applications As tools in protein purification, protein stabilisation, metal quantification and metal tolerance of bacteria and plants

    Author : Malin Mejàre; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cadmium; metal quantification; fusion tag; metal affinity tag; phage display; peptide library; metal tolerance; metal resistance; metal accumulation; bioremediation; transgenic plant; tobacco; potato; protein purification; immobilised metal affinity chromatography; metal affinity precipitation; metal detection; protein stabilisation; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; metal ion;

    Abstract : Metal affinity tags have been fused to proteins and demonstrated to function as tools in protein purification, protein stabilisation, quantitative metal analysis and metal tolerance of bacteria and plants. In biotechnological applications proteins frequently have to function in nonnatural environments with harsh conditions which impose requirements for high stability on the proteins. READ MORE

  7. 5. Plant type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases : Structure, regulation and evolution of NDB proteins

    Author : Mengshu Hao; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis; Ca2 ; Electron transport; NDH-2; NDB; pH; NADH; NADPH; Plant mitochondria; Potato; Type II NAD P H dehydrogenase;

    Abstract : In living organisms, respiration is a biological process degrading different carbon substrates, consuming O2, and releasing the carbon as CO2. Plants have several alternative enzymes that are involved in the respiratory processes, as compared to animals. READ MORE
