  2. 1. Protein Prenylation in Higher Eukaryotes

    Author : Ingela Parmryd; Patrick J Casey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Protein prenylation is a post-translational process where proteins become covalently modified by an isoprenoid group. This modification adds hydrophobicity to the proteins. For all prenylated proteins identified to date, the prenyl group is an absolute requirement for their biological functions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on Natural Variation and Evolution of Photoperiodism in Plants

    Author : Karl Holm; Ulf Lagercrantz; Martin Lascoux; Seth Jon Davis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : photoperiodism; circadian; flowering time; natural variation; evolution; Caspella bursa-pastoris; Physcomitrella patens; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

    Abstract : Photoperiodism refers to the organism’s ability to detect and respond to seasonal changes in the daily duration of light and dark and thus constitutes one of the most significant and complex examples of the interaction between the organism and its environment. This thesis attempts to describe the prevalence of variation in a photoperiodic response, its adaptive value, and its putative genetic basis in a common cruciferous weed, Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae).

  5. 3. Function of MAP20 and MYB103 in cellulose and lignin formation of xylem secondary cell walls

    Author : David Öhman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Lignocellulose from trees and other crops will have tremendous impact on the next generation of sustainable biofuels and biomaterials. To take advantage of modern breeding tools, it is therefore important to understand the genetic and molecular regulation underlying secondary cell wall formation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Plant Calreticulins -Calcium-binding proteins with many functions

    Author : Anna Christensen; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tobacco; plant; calreticulin; isoforms; Arabidopsis; localization; mouse embryonic fibroblasts;

    Abstract : Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays an important role in protein synthesis, folding, maturation and transport of newly synthesized proteins, as well as the regulation of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. A protein that is involved in several of these functions in the ER is calreticulin (CRT), which is a Ca2+-binding chaperone that resides in the lumen of the ER. READ MORE

  7. 5. A molecular network mediating adventitious root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Author : Abdellah Lakehal; Catherine Bellini; Malcolm Bennett; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adventitious rooting; auxin; jasmonate; cytokinin; phytohormone perception and signalling; vegetative propagation;

    Abstract : To adapt to the ever-changing rhizosphere conditions, land plants evolved a sophisticated root system. The genetic determinants of the root system establishment have been the targets of natural selection, resulting in a very complex but robust molecular networks and circuits. READ MORE
