2. 1. Verticillium longisporum and plant immunity responses in Arabidopsis

   Author : Jonas Roos; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Verticillium spp. are soil-borne ascomycete fungi belonging to a subgroup of Sordariomycetes, and the three major plant pathogens Verticillium longisporum, V. dahliae and V. albo-atrum cause disease on numerous plant species worldwide. READ MORE

4. 2. Defence related molecular signalling in Potato : new perspectives from “- Omics”

   Author : Dharani Burra; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Potato production is hampered by several pathogens and is subjected to intense chemical based disease control, use of which also has undesirable consequences. Resistance breeding programs have also shown limited success. Hence, there is a need to develop durable disease resistance. READ MORE

5. 3. Functional characterization of the human adenovirus pVII protein and non-coding VA RNAI

   Author : Raviteja Inturi; Tanel Punga; Goran Akusjarvi; Thomas Dobner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; VA RNA; protein VII; Ubiquitination; proteasome; anti-viral; Medical Biochemistry; Medicinsk biokemi; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi;

   Abstract : Human adenovirus (HAdV) is a common pathogen causing a broad spectrum of diseases. HAdV encodes the pVII protein, which is involved in nuclear delivery, protection and expression of viral DNA. To suppress the cellular interferon (IFN) and RNA interference (RNAi) systems, HAdVs encode non-coding virus-associated (VA) RNAs. READ MORE

6. 4. Abiotic Stress Tolerance. Metabolic and Physiological Effects of Compatible Solutes and Calmodulin on E. coli and Tobacco

   Author : Jenny Lindberg; Tillämpad biokemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Abiotic stress; compatible solutes; osmotic stress; osmoprotectants; trehalose; calmodulin; E. coli; N. tabacum; genetic engineering; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism; glycine betaine;

   Abstract : In their natural habitats, bacteria and plants can be exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt concentrations and freezing, which are factors limiting their capacity for growth and proliferation. To withstand environmental stresses, they have evolved specific stress responses. READ MORE

7. 5. Microbial production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid and poly(3-hydroxypropionate): Investigation of Lactobacillus reuteri propanediol utilization pathway enzymes

   Author : Ramin Sabet Azad; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Platform chemicals; biopolymers; 3-hydroxypropionic acid; 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde; glycerol; poly 3-hydroxypropionate ; polyhydroxyalkanoates; Escherichia coli; Lactobacillus reuteri; propanediol utilization pathway; propionaldehyde dehydrogenase; biotransformation; cofactor regeneration; NADH oxidase;

   Abstract : Concerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate for the biobased chemical industry. READ MORE
