1. Thriving in extremes : Local adaptation of grasses (Poaceae) to geothermally heated soils on a subarctic island
Abstract : Temperature is one of the most decisive parameters when it comes to determining characteristics and distributions of life worldwide. For plants, as sessile organisms, it is particularly important to be able to deal with the temperatures they are exposed to at a given location. READ MORE

2. Methods for measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence, luminescence and photosynthesis in intact plants
Abstract : Methods were developed to study delayed light emission (luminiscence) and fluorescence changes in intact leaves of plants. Delayed light emission, detected from plants in darkness, was used to produce images of the plant leaves. The procedure was termed "phytoluminography". READ MORE

3. Planting and survivability of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in Sweden : Questions of seedling storability, site preparation, bud burst timing and freezing tolerance
Abstract : The non-native Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) has been grown to a limited extent in the southern part of Sweden since the early 1900s. A more extensive use has probably been curtailed by its known susceptibility to damage by frost, pine weevil and other pests. READ MORE

4. Biotic and abiotic stress in microorganisms and plants: Some Mechanisms of Stress and Programmed Cell Death. Genetic Engineering Approaches Towards Improved Stress Tolerance
Abstract : Various forms of stress, such as biotic and abiotic stress, were studied in microorganisms and plants to learn more about the underlying mechanisms of such stress and potential genetic engineering strategies towards stress tolerance. An antifreeze protein from winter flounder, expressed in E. READ MORE

5. Genetic variation in frost tolerance, juvenile growth and timber production in Russian larches (Larix Mill.) : implications for use in Sweden
Abstract : Larch (Larix sp Mill.) is an important component in boreal montane and subalpine forests in the northern hemisphere. Macrofossils of larch in the Scandinavian mountains prove the existence of larch in Scandinavia after the last ice age, Siberian or Russian larch is now considered as an indigenous tree species of Sweden.
