  1. 1. Studies of genes involved in regulating flowering time in Arabidopsis

    Author : Maria Svensson; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; flowering time; fold recognition; GA biosynthesis; promoter trapping; RNA-binding; T-DNA tagging; Biology; Biologi; Naturvetenskap; Natural sciences;

    Abstract : Transition from a vegetative growth phase to flowering in plants occurs in response to both environmental conditions and endogenous signals. Identification of genes that are involved in regulating the time of flowering is of great importance in agri- and horticulture. READ MORE

  2. 2. In vitro and in vivo approaches in the characterization of XTH gene products

    Author : Nomchit Kaewthai; Harry Brumer; Jocelyn Rose; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabiodopsis thaliana; Hordeum vulgare; plant cell wall; xyloglucan; glycoside hydrolase family 16; xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase hydrolase gene family; xyloglucan endo-hydrolase; heterologous protein expression; Pichia pastoris; T-DNA insertion; in situ XET XEH assay; high-througput screening; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Functional genomics; Funktionsgenomik; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT The xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) genes are found in all vascular and some nonvascular plants. The XTH genes encode proteins which comprise a subfamily of glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 16 in the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZY) classification. READ MORE

  3. 3. Plant UDP-glucose Pyrophosphorylase : Function and Regulation

    Author : Meng Meng; Leszek Kleczkowski; Javier Pozueta-Romero; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase; carbohydrate metabolism; in vivo regulation; T-DNA knockout; heterologous expression; isozyme; mutagenesis; kinetic property; oligomerization; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) is an important enzyme of carbohydrate metabolism in all living organisms. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the function and regulation of plant UGP genes as well as the UGPase proteins. READ MORE

  4. 4. Functions of REP27 and the low molecular weight proteins PsbX and PsbW in repair and assembly of photosystem II

    Author : Jose Gines Garcia Cerdan; Wolfgang Schröder; Eva-Mari Aro; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Photosynthesis; photosystem II reaction center; PSII-LHCII supercomplex; antisense plant; T-DNA knockout plant; auxiliary protein; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract :     Oxygenic photosynthesis is the major producer of both oxygen and organic compounds on earth and takes place in plants, green algae and cyanobacteria. The thylakoid membranes are the site of the photosynthetic light reactions that involve the concerted action of four major protein complexes known as photosystem II (PSII), cytochrome b6f complex, ATP synthase and photosystem I (PSI).

  5. 5. Integration of Arabidopsis and poplar model systems to elucidate gene function during wood formation

    Author : Ellinor Edvardsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wood is an essential raw material being used for a number of different applications including construction, pulp and paper production and as a source of biomass for bioenergy generation. The increasing number of sequenced plant genomes provides powerful tools to evaluate plant gene function. READ MORE
