Altering the Glucosinolate Profile of Arabidopsis thaliana: Characterization and Impact on Resistance Against Botrytis cinerea
(Master thesis, 2017)The glucosinolate-myrosinase system is a well-known part of the Brassicacea plant immunity. This family includes several important crop species as well as the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, thus encouraging and ... -
Characterization of new putative adhesion factors in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
(Master thesis, 2018)Worldwide nearly 2.8 million people are infected by STEC with acute illness, among them approximately 0.14% lead to HUS and 0.008% lead to death. Shiga toxins are essential virulence factors of STEC, but also other factors ... -
Estrogenic Responses in Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) Passively Exposed to Complex Mixture of Environmental Contaminants
(Master thesis, 2015)I denne oppgaven ble det sett nærmere på biotransformasjon- og endokrinforstyrrelser ved å analysere lever- og blodprøver hos Nilkrokodiller (Crocodylus niloticus) for ulike kjemikalier. Prøver ble hentet fra en kommersiell ... -
Genetic Basis of Variation in Bill Morphology in a Free-Living House Sparrow Metapopulation
(Master thesis, 2017)Bill morphology is an ecologically important trait, which shows substantial phenotypic variation, is highly heritable and is under selection in many bird species. These characteristics underscore the suitability of bill ... -
Genome sequencing and phylogenomic analysis of the devastating plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans
(Master thesis, 2018)The oomycete P. infestans is a plant pathogen responsible for late blight of potato and tomato. This rapidly evolving pathogen is of persistent concern because of the damage it has caused since the infamous Irish famine ... -
Heat stress response is part of the isothiocyanate-induced response in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Master thesis, 2016)Heat stress responses (HSR) represent a multi-pathway system of adaptive responses to environmental changes. Common downstream targets of HSR pathways are the heat shock proteins, amongst them HSP101 (At1g74310). In ... -
Influence of dairy farming method and other production factors on lipid metabolism and quality parameters of cow's milk
(Master thesis, 2015)Organic milk has been popularly developed in western dairy industry. This milk was believed to bring better health benefits than conventional milk and thus, receiving high attention from consumers in recent years. The ... -
Investigating Overexpressed Cytosolic Phospholipase A2α in a Triple Negative Breast Cancer Model
(Master thesis, 2018)Breast cancer is the type of cancer that affects the most women worldwide and approximately 18% of these incidents belong to the category of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC lacks targeted treatments and the ... -
Metabolic Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) Seedlings to both Drought and Heat Stress
(Master thesis, 2017)The development of resistant maize (Zea mays) varieties against drought and heat is on the rise as these abiotic stress factors affect maize production. Plants including maize respond by altering their metabolism to produce ... -
Modulation of the endocrine system in juvenile Salmon (Salmon salar) by the organophosphates TCEP and TBEP
(Master thesis, 2015)Inappropriate management of pesticides usage may result to environmental pollution with far reaching effects on the reproduction and survival potential of aquatic animals, particularly fish. For example, the use of pesticides ... -
Molecular and biochemical effect-directed analysis of polluted sediment from the Lagos lagoon (Nigeria) using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as a model
(Master thesis, 2016)As a result of human interventions, such as agricultural, industrial, and mining activities and urbanization, there have been release of vast range of synthetic and natural environmental pollutants, such as persistent ... -
Molecular and physiological responses to shifts in light quality and genomic editing using CRISPR Cas9 system targeting highly regulated genes in light response of diatom phaeodactylum tricornutum
(Master thesis, 2016)Molecular and physiological responses to shifts in light quality and genomic editing using CRISPR Cas9 system targeting highly regulated genes in light response of diatom phaeodactylum tricornutum -
Photosynthetic Responses of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings to heat and drought stress
(Master thesis, 2017)Like all other plants, maize (Zea mays L.) depends on the environment for growth. It is also an important food source for the continuously increasing human population. However, due to the recent changes in climate, maize ... -
Revealing Missing Pieces of the Puzzle: The Possible Function of Candidate Genes in the Cell Wall Integrity Maintenance mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Master thesis, 2018)As sessile organisms, plants depend on mechanisms to sense and respond to stressful conditions such as biotic and abiotic factors. A complex mechanism referred to as the cell wall integrity maintenance (CWI) mechanism, has ... -
The effect of cPLA2 inhibition in basal-like breast cancer
(Master thesis, 2016)The effect of cPLA2 inhibition in basal-like breast cancer Introduction: Altered metabolism in cells is a hallmark of cancer and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) is a ubiquitous enzyme involved in inflammation. Recent ...
