1. From green to yellow : a leaf story
Sammanfattning : När ett blad gulnar genomgår det både morfologiska och metaboliska förändringar. Denna process benämns senescence och en förbättrad förståelse av dess mekanismer är viktiga både ur ett grundvetenskapligt perspektiv och för potentiella bioteknologiska applikationer. LÄS MER
2. Climate Change sensitivity of Photosynthesis and Respiration in Tropical Trees
Sammanfattning : Tropical climate is getting warmer, with more pronounced dry periods in large areas. The productivity and climate feedbacks of future tropical forests depend on the ability of trees to acclimate their physiological processes, such as photosynthesis and leaf respiration, to these new conditions.

3. Thermal plasticity and limitations in tropical trees
Sammanfattning : Tropical forests are the most carbon dense and biodiverse terrestrial biome on earth. In a time of global warming and biodiversity crisis, their preservation must be of high priority. At the same time, they likely operate close to their thermal limits because of a historically and seasonally stable environment. LÄS MER
4. Preparation of leaf mitochondria and studies on mitochondrial photorespiratory reactions
Sammanfattning : A procedure for the preparation of spinach leaf mitochondria was developed. The procedure combines differential centrifugation, partition in dextran- polyethyleneglycol two-phase system and Percoli density gradient centri- fugation. The different steps separate the material mainly according to size, surface properties and density, respectively. LÄS MER
5. Low temperature acclimation in plants : alterations in photosynthetic carbon metabolism
Sammanfattning : Although low temperature plays an important role in determining agricultural yield, little is known about the effect on the underlying biochemical and physiological processes that influence plant growth. Photosynthesis and respiration are central to plant growth and both processes are heavily affected by temperature. LÄS MER
