1. Plant UDP-glucose Pyrophosphorylase : Function and Regulation
Sammanfattning : UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) is an important enzyme of carbohydrate metabolism in all living organisms. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the function and regulation of plant UGP genes as well as the UGPase proteins. LÄS MER
2. Functional studies of plant hexokinases and development of genetic methods in the moss Physcomitrella patens
Sammanfattning : In the field of biology, model systems are frequently used for practical reasons. Model organisms possess several features that make them easy to work with in a laboratory setting. In addition they usually have a host of established genetic tools that have been developed by the research community. LÄS MER
3. Metabolic engineering of starch synthesis in barley
Sammanfattning : Starch is an important industrial raw material both for food and non-food purposes. In plants, starch is deposited in the leaf and in the storage tissues such as seed endosperm, roots or tubers. LÄS MER
4. Understanding of molecular mechanisms and improving of adventitous root formation in apple
Sammanfattning : Adventitious root formation is essential for vegetative propagation, which is the main method for propagation of many horticultural crops, especially woody species. For propagation of apple rootstocks, adventitious root formation is often a limiting step. LÄS MER
5. Development of Lepidium campestre into a new oil and catch crop
Sammanfattning : A growing world population and dwindling fossil oil reserves demand an increase in the world plant oil production. The possibility to increase the area of cultivated land is limited due to the shortage of arable land. Also, the possibility for increasing the oil content in the limited number of cultivated oil crops is restricted. LÄS MER
