1. Comparative genomics of the genus Mycobacterium : Genome evolution, phylogeny and diversity
Abstract : The genus Mycobacterium includes more than 190 species, and many cause severe diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy. According to the "World Health Organization", in year 2019 alone, 10 million people developed TB, and 1.4 million died. READ MORE

2. Understanding the Molecular Basis of Differential Growth during Apical Hook Development
Abstract : Plants’ adaptation to their environment often involves change in development, which in many cases involves the establishment of differential growth rates across organs, for instance during phototropic and gravitropic responses. A striking example of differential growth is the formation of the apical hook, a structure that forms to protect the apical meristem as seedlings penetrate through soil. READ MORE

3. Mechanisms of plant root xylem developmental plasticity in response to water deficiency and salt
Abstract : Plants may be exposed to a variety of different environmental conditions including water deficiency and salt, both affecting the uptake of water into the plant. Water is taken up from the soil by the roots and distributed throughout the plant via the water conducting tissue, the xylem. READ MORE

4. Symbiotic and pathogenic factors in plant-microbe interaction: Structural basis of C-glycoside metabolism and lipoprotein transport in bacteria
Abstract : The communication between plants and bacteria involves a complex chemical signaling network that mediates responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as establishing symbiotic relationships between different organisms.The first part of the thesis focuses on a mechanism for symbiotic communication between plants and bacteria and more specifically on how C-glycosylated aromatic polyketide compounds produced by plants can be used as a mechanism for plants to communicate with beneficial bacteria.

5. Intramolecular isotope analysis reveals plant ecophysiological signals covering multiple timescales
Abstract : Our societies' wellbeing relies on stable and healthy environments. However, our current lifestyles, growth-oriented economic policies and the population explosion are leading to potentially catastrophic degradation of ecosystems and progressive disruption of food chains. READ MORE
