    Sammanfattning : One main goal of ecological research is to understand nature´s complexity, in order to predict the potential impact of environmental perturbations. In this thesis, I investigate the ecological interactions between some of the most ancient organisms living on our planet: plants and insects. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Exploring the role of gene duplications in plant-insect interactions

    Författare :Hanna Nicole Dort; Christopher Wheat; Noah Whiteman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plant-insect interactions; comparative genomics; detoxification; transcriptomics; nitrile-specifier proteins; butterflies; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    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

  5. 4. Antioxidant Capacity in Fruit and Vegetables -Cultivar Variation - Storage Conditions - Human Antioxidant Status

    Författare :Jessica Nilsson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; human plasma antioxidants; Brassica; strawberry; pea; cultivar; ABTS; FRAP; Total antioxidant capacity; TAC; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The health-promoting effects of fruits and vegetables have been extensively discussed during the past decade since epidemiologic studies have shown relations between increased intake of fruit and vegetables and decreased incidences of several chronic diseases. It has been suggested that antioxidants are a main contributors to the observed effects, for example by acting as scavengers of free radicals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genome editing of oilseed species by CRISPR/Cas9 for trait improvement

    Författare :Sjur Sandgrind; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The demand for vegetable oils for food and other applications is rapidly increasing due to a growing population and an urgent need to replace fossil oils. Furthermore, there are several challenges facing agricultural production, such as a shortage of arable land, climate change, and water pollution due to nutrient leaching from extensive use of fertilizers and tillage.
