  2. 1. Design, Development and Applications of Highly Sensitive Protein-Based Capacitive Biosensors

    Author : Ibolya Bontidean; Kemiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; Contaminated soil; Heavy metals; Lac repressor; Phytochelatin; MerP; MerR; SmtA; Self-assembled monolayer; Biosensor; Capacitance;

    Abstract : Highly sensitive biosensors were developed for environmental and medical applications. The biosensors were based on bioengineered proteins as biorecognition elements coupled to a highly sensitive capacitive transducer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of cadmium and ultraviolet-B radiation in plants, Influence on photosynthesis and element content in two species of Brassicaceae

    Author : Helene Larsson Jönsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtekologi; Plant ecology; UV-B; plant nutrients; photosynthesis; oxygen evolution; chlorophyll fluorescence; Cd uptake; cadmium; Arabidopsis thaliana; Brassica napus; Plant biochemistry; Växtbiokemi; Botany; Botanik;

    Abstract : Plants are exposed to many different stress factors during their lifetime, often more than one factor at a time, which highlights the importance of research regarding interaction among stress factors. Cadmium and ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-315 nm) are two potential stress factors in the environment, which have gained increased interest due to atmospheric pollution. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heavy metal tolerance, uptake, accumulation, and translocation in Salix and its application in phytoremediation

    Author : Tommy Landberg; Maria Greger; Nicholas Dickinson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plant stress heavy metals Salix tolerance; växtfysiologi; Plant Physiology;

    Abstract : In the environment, heavy metals are major stressors for plants, and since plants are immobile, they cannot avoid the stress but must adapt. Therefore, plants may develop avoidance and tolerance mechanisms to reduce susceptibility to metal toxicity. READ MORE
