2. 1. Studies on cysteine-rich peptides from Nemertea and Violaceae : Proteomic and transcriptomic discovery and characterization

   Author : Erik Jacobsson; Ulf Göransson; Håkan S. Andersson; Robert Burman; Espen Hansen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peptide toxin; cystine knot; nemertide; cyclotide; nemertea.; Farmakognosi; Pharmacognosy;

   Abstract : The overall aims of the projects included in this thesis were to discover, synthesize and characterize disulphide-stabilized peptides from marine worms (Nemertea sp.) and plants (Viola sp.). READ MORE

4. 2. The actinorhizal symbiosis of Datisca glomerata: Search for nodule-specific marker genes

   Author : Irina V. Demina; Katharina Pawlowski; Franziska Krajinski; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actinorhizal symbiosis; Datisca glomerata; nodule transcriptome; nodule-specific marker genes; cysteine-rich peptides; auxins and cytokinins; Plant Physiology; växtfysiologi;

   Abstract : The actinorhizal symbiosis is entered by nitrogen-fixing actinobacteria of the genus Frankia and a large group of woody plant species distributed among eight dicot families. The actinorhizal symbiosis, as well as the legume-rhizobia symbiosis, involves the stable intracellular accommodation of the microsymbionts in special organs called root nodules. READ MORE

5. 3. Polyporoid fungi of Tanzania : Taxonomy, transcriptomics and biochemical analyses of Kusaghiporia usambarensis and Piptoporellus baudonii

   Author : Juma Mahmud Hussein; Sanja Tibell Savić; Donatha Tibuhwa; Christina Wedén; Ulf Göransson; Jan Stenlid; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematics; Laetiporaceae; pharmacognosy; cysteine-rich peptide; baudonii; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

   Abstract : Polyporoid fungi refers to basidiomycetes with fruiting bodies with the hymenium located to the inner surfaces of pores or narrow tubes. The majority of polyporoids belongs to Polyporales. Most Polyporales are saprobes, but some are plant pathogens. READ MORE

6. 4. Violaxanthin de-epoxidase and its closest relative: identification and characterization

   Author : Kuo Guo; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosynthesis; Carotenoid conversions; violaxanthin de-epoxidase VDE ; Violaxanthin de-epoxidase related protein;

   Abstract : Light is essential for plants and algae to process photosynthesis. However, excess of light will cause damage to the organism. A process called non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is an important way for these organisms to protect themselves from photo oxidative damage. READ MORE

7. 5. Role of macrophage receptor MARCO in host defense

   Author : Marko Sankala; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : MARCO; innate immunity; scavenger receptor.;

   Abstract : Innate immunity, the first line of defense against infectious microorganisms, appeared early in evolution. Innate immunity relies on specialized cells such as macrophages that are the first to encounter pathogens during infection. READ MORE
