1. Exploring the role of gene duplications in plant-insect interactions
Sammanfattning : As evolutionary biologists, we are often curious about the genomic origins of our favorite adaptations. Although some innovations certainly arose de novo, many more originated through the process of whole-gene or within-gene duplication. LÄS MER
2. Wheat Storage Proteins at Interfaces
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the properties of wheat storage proteins at interfaces. These proteins are the main constituents of gluten and are recognised for their importance in breadmaking. LÄS MER
3. Biofoams and Biocomposites based on Wheat Gluten Proteins
Sammanfattning : Novel uses of wheat gluten (WG) proteins, obtained e.g. as a coproduct from bio-ethanol production, are presented in this thesis. A flame-retardant foam was prepared via in-situ polymerization of hydrolyzed tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in a denatured WG matrix (Paper I). LÄS MER
4. Exploring the Wood Adhesive Performance of Wheat Gluten
Sammanfattning : The increasing environmental concern has reawakened an interest in materials based on renewable resources as replacement for petroleum-based materials. The main objective of this thesis was to explore plant proteins, more specifically wheat gluten, as a binder in wood adhesives intended for typical solid wood applications such as furniture and flooring.

5. Infection biology of the plant pathogenic fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana
Sammanfattning : Bipolaris sorokiniana is a fungal pathogen causing severe disease mainly in wheat and barley worldwide. In this thesis two aspects of the infection process were investigated: the adhesion mechanism of the fungus and the role of the non-host specific phytotoxin prehelminthosporol (PHL) in the disease. Adhesion of B. LÄS MER
