  2. 1. Mechanisms behind pH changes by plant roots and shoots caused by elevated concentration of toxic elements

    Author : Muhammad Tariq Javed; Maria Greger; Sylvia Lindberg; Marinus L. Otte; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elodea canadensis; Eriophorum angustifolium; fluorescence microscopy; mechanisms; metals and metalloid; pH changes; protoplasts; phytofiltration; phytostabilization; root exudates; Plant Physiology; växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : Toxic elements are present in polluted water from mines, industrial outlets, storm water etc. Wetland plants take up toxic elements and increase the pH of the medium. In this thesis was investigated how the shoots of submerged plants and roots of emergent plants affected the pH of the surrounding water in the presence of free toxic ions. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I have studied long shoot performance in the monoecious, deciduous tree Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular mechanisms regulating early cone development in Norway spruce Picea abies (Karst)

    Author : Shirin Akhter; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Flower development progress through distinct phases that are controlled by complex genetic networks, which in turn are regulated by both endogenous and exogenous factors. A large number of functional studies have been conducted over the past decades to understand the genetic networks that regulate flower development in angiosperm model species. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genetic variation and sexual reproduction in a moss with dwarf males, Homalothecium lutescens

    Author : Frida Rosengren; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bryophytes; mosses; dwarf males; sexual reproduction; genetic variation; genetic structure; inbreeding; isozymes; allozymes; SNP; sporophytes; spore; fertilization; fertility;

    Abstract : Dwarf males occur in many unrelated groups of organisms. Among land plants they are unique to mosses. Moss dwarf males originate from male spores that land and germinate on the female where their final size is restricted to a few mm. Fertilization in mosses occur over short distances with swimming spermatozoids. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of future climate on carbon assimilation of boreal Norway spruce

    Author : Marianne Hall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bud development; climate change; empirical models; gas exchange; photosynthesis; Picea abies; seasonality; whole-tree chambers;

    Abstract : In boreal forests, the main factors limiting biomass production are the harsh climate, which combines a short growing season and low annual levels of incoming solar energy, and the limited availabilit... mery of nitrogen. READ MORE
