1. The significance of ethylene and ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTORS in wood formation of hybrid aspen
Sammanfattning : The woody tissues serve to stabilise plants, store nutrients and translocate water and minerals. The formation of wood, or ’secondary xylem’, follows a well-defined developmental gradient which is initiated by cell division activity in the vascular cambium. LÄS MER
2. Malaria and relapsing fever Borrelia : interactions and potential therapy
Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases such as malaria and relapsing fever borreliosis (RF), cause severe human mortality and morbidity in developing countries. Malaria, caused by Plasmodium spp. parasites, is estimated by the World Health Organization to cause 1.5-2. LÄS MER
3. Towards forecasting epigenetic repression
Sammanfattning : Multicellular organisms form many different cell types from one genome, which requires differential gene activity. The Polycomb system upholds the correct gene expression programs by epigenetically silencing genes that encode critical transcription regulators. LÄS MER
4. Studies on secreted cysteine proteases of Streptococcus pyogenes : IdeS and SpeB
Sammanfattning : The pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality. Most of the work in this thesis is focused on streptococcal virulence factor IdeS, but the thesis also features work on SpeB, another streptococcal virulence factor. LÄS MER
5. Novel resources enabling comparative regulomics in forest tree species
Sammanfattning : Lignocellulosic plants are the most abundant source of terrestrial biomass and are one of the potential sources of renewable energy that can replace the use of fossil fuels. For a country such as Sweden, where the forest industry accounts for 10% of the total export, there would be large economical benefits associated with increased biomass yield. LÄS MER
