1. 1. Synthesis and Robotized Screening of Novel Perovskite Materials for Solar Cell Application

   Författare :Allan Starkholm; Lars Kloo; Per H. Svensson; Kasper Moth-Poulsen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perovskite solar cell; Photovoltaic device; Lead-free light absorbers; Polyiodide; Dye-sensitization; Robotized Screening; Screening; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : As of today, the energy consumption in the world is high and is essential in the development and growth of the modern-day society. The world energy consumption is projected to increase significantly over the next decades. LÄS MER

3. 2. Insights into the Evolution of Moth Pheromone Communication: Lessons from the European Corn Borer

   Författare :Jean-Marc Lassance; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biosynthetic enzymes; evolution; Ostrinia nubilalis; mate choice; mate finding; olfaction; biosynthesis; speciation; moth; pheromone; olfactory receptors.;

   Sammanfattning : Chemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. LÄS MER

4. 3. Fatty Acyl Reductases and Fatty Acyl Desaturases. Deciphering the biosynthesis of species-specific moth female sex pheromones from common fatty acids

   Författare :Åsa Hagström; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Moth; pheromone; insect; evolution; fatty acyl desaturase; fatty acyl reductase; endoplasmic reticulum; fatty acid biosynthesis; GFP; heterologous expression; phylogeny; cell factory; lepidoptera;

   Sammanfattning : Moths (Lepidoptera) are dependent on female produced pheromones, chemical signals, for attracting a mate. Pheromones are most commonly made up by saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acid derived alcohols, acetates, and/or aldehydes that are produced by a set of enzymes in the female pheromone gland.

5. 4. Pyralid moth reproduction: Communication, Constraints & Control

   Författare :Camilla Ryne; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plant parasitology; Entomology; växtparasitologi; Entomologi; Animal ecology; Djurekologi; Chemistry; Kemi;

   Sammanfattning : Olfactory cues play an important role in the reproduction of three pyralid moths, the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella), the Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) and the almond moth (E. cautella). Both males and females of P. interpunctella are capable of multiple matings. LÄS MER

7. 5. Circadian Rhythms in Moth Sex Pheromone Communication

   Författare :Germund von Wowern; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physiology of invertebrates; växtparasitologi; Entomologi; plant parasitology; Entomology; Ecology; Ekologi; locomotor activity; social synchronisation; PDH; corazonin; PBAN; pheromone response; sex phermone; Lepidoptera; Ryggradslösa djurs fysiologi; calling behaviour; circadian rhythm;

   Sammanfattning : Sex pheromone communication and related physiological processes are regulated by circadian clock mechanisms in many moth species. This thesis includes studies of circadian rhythms in sexually relevant behaviours and communication in the Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis, the turnip moth Agrotis segetum, the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella and the Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella.
