  2. 1. Conservation Genetics and Speciation in Asian Forest Trees

    Author : Sofia Bodare; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; François Lefèvre; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

    Abstract : Tropical forests are important because they are the home of millions of species at the same time as they perform ecosystem services and provide food, cash income and raw materials for the people living there. The present thesis elucidates questions relevant to the conservation of selected forest trees as it adds to the knowledge in the phylogeny, population structure, genetic diversity and adaptation in these species.

  4. 2. Studies on Natural Variation and Evolution of Photoperiodism in Plants

    Author : Karl Holm; Ulf Lagercrantz; Martin Lascoux; Seth Jon Davis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : photoperiodism; circadian; flowering time; natural variation; evolution; Caspella bursa-pastoris; Physcomitrella patens; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

    Abstract : Photoperiodism refers to the organism’s ability to detect and respond to seasonal changes in the daily duration of light and dark and thus constitutes one of the most significant and complex examples of the interaction between the organism and its environment. This thesis attempts to describe the prevalence of variation in a photoperiodic response, its adaptive value, and its putative genetic basis in a common cruciferous weed, Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae).

  5. 3. Studies of Intracellular Transport and Anticancer Drug Action by Functional Genomics in Yeast

    Author : Marie Gustavsson; Hans Ronne; Anders Blomberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 5-fluorouracil; tRNA modifications; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; carbamoyl phosphate synthase; V-ATPase; Functional genomics; Funktionsgenomik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the use of functional genomics screens in yeast to study anticancer drug action and intracellular transport. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a particularly useful model system for global drug screens, due to the availability of knockout mutants for all yeast genes. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. On Transcriptome Sequencing

    Author : Daniel Klevebring; Joakim Lundeberg; Ulf Gyllensten; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transcriptome; RNA-seq; DNA sequencing; gene expression profiling; non-coding RNA; small RNA; Functional genomics; Funktionsgenomik; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Genetics; Genetik; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis is about the use of massive DNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptome. During recent decades, several studies have made it clear that the transcriptome comprises a more complex set of biochemical machinery than was previously believed. READ MORE
