1. Context dependency of plant – animal interactions
Sammanfattning : The strength and direction of interactions between organisms vary spatially across the landscape. Traditionally, the focus has been on how trait variation affects the interactions between species. However, differences in abiotic and biotic environmental factors may also alter the distribution, phenology and behavior of the interacting species. LÄS MER
2. Plant Nanobionics : From Localized Carbon Capture to Precision Molecular Delivery
Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis is an evolutionary marvel that not only sustains plant life but also profoundly shaped the climatic conditions necessary for the development of other advanced forms of life and the ecosystems we know today. During photosynthesis, plants harness the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the main greenhouse gases, into sugars for the growth of both themselves and organisms that consume plants, and oxygen that sustains life on Earth.

3. Ecology and evolution of tolerance in two cruciferous species
Sammanfattning : Tolerance to herbivory is the ability of plants to maintain fitness in spite of damage. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the genetic variation and expression of tolerance within species, determine whether and in what conditions tolerance has negative side-effects, and how tolerance is affected by different ecological factors.

4. The circadian clock in annuals and perennials : coordination of Growth with Environmental Rhythms
Sammanfattning : Since the first signs of life on planet earth, organisms have had to adapt to the daily changes between light and dark, and high and low temperatures. This has led to the evolution of an endogenous time keeper, known as the circadian clock. LÄS MER
5. Studies on plant-microbe interaction to improve stress tolerance in plants for sustainable agriculture
Sammanfattning : Biotic and abiotic stress factors have a major impact on plants and cause extensive losses to crop production. Bacteria that provide growth promotion and prime stress tolerance of plants have great potential to improve crop production and support durable and environmental friendly resource management. LÄS MER
