  2. 1. Antioxidant Activity of Bolivian Plant Secondary Metabolites

    Author : Patricia Mollinedo; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytoprotection; Beta-carotene; TBARS; TEAC; ABTS; antioxidant activity; secondarymetabolites; Highland plains; plants; photoprotection; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Certain climatologically-adverse conditions in the basin of the Poopo Lake, located on the high plateau of the Bolivian Altiplano, have prevented the existence of a reliable agricultural system and the impact on the population of the area has been severe. These problems have been the main motivation in choosing this region for this particular study. READ MORE

  4. 2. Oxidative Damage in Fish Used as Biomarkers in Field and Laboratory Studies

    Author : Bethanie Carney Almroth; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; oxidative stress; antioxidant enzymes; glutathione; protein carbonyls; lipid peroxidation; biomarkers; pollution; aging;

    Abstract : Many toxic xenobiotics entering into the aquatic environment exert their effects through redox cycling. Oxidative stress, incorporating both antioxidant defences as well as oxidative damage, is a common effect in organisms exposed to xenobiotics in their environment. 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

  6. 4. Computational Studies of UV-B Induced Signalling Pathways in Plants

    Author : Min Wu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational Chemistry;

    Abstract : Abstract This thesis presents theoretical studies of UV-B induced signaling pathways in plants using molecular dynamic methods combined with (TD)-DFT calculations. Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation is a component of sunlight covering wavelengths 280-300nm. READ MORE
