Biochemical, physiological and molecular responses of Ricinus communis seeds and seedlings to different temperatures: a multi-omics approach by Paulo Roberto Ribeiro de Jesus The main objective of this thesis was to provide a detailed analysis of physiological, biochemical and molecular-genetic responses of Ricinus communis to temperature during se...
Wageningen UR gaat de komende jaren investeren in synthetische biologie. Het is benoemd als een van de investeringsthema’s in het strategisch plan. Een jong vakgebied, waarbij onderzoekers bacteriën verbouwen en ontwerpen voor industriële toepassingen. Hoogleraar Martins dos Santos, die onlangs twee grote EU-projecten binnenhaalde, gaat een actiepl...
Science relies on data in all its different forms. In molecular biology and bioinformatics in particular large scale data generation has taken centre stage in the form of high-throughput experiments. In line with this exponential increase of experimental data has been the near exponential growth of scientific publications. Yet where classical data ...
Parasites often have severe effects on their hosts by causing developmental and physiological alterations in their hosts. These alterations may contribute to parasite growth, reproduction and survival. For example, host development may be inhibited so that more nutrients become available for the parasite. Parasites can also interfere with host beha...
In De bouwstenen van het leven wordt - ook voor leken - op een toegankelijke wijze een overzicht gegeven van de basale kennis van de biochemie en de moleculaire celbiologie (ook wel Life Sciences genoemd). De wereld van DNA, RNA en eiwitten, van energiemetabolisme tot en met genetica, is door Jan Prinsen en Feike van der Leij op een overzichtelijke...
Abiotic stresses are the primary cause of crop failure worldwide, reducing average yields by more than 50%. Among the various forms of abiotic stress, drought is the most limiting factor for rice productivity. Drought affects about 20% of the total rice cultivation area in Asia. Understanding the various aspects of drought stress, the response and ...
Understanding genetic variation for freezing tolerance is important for unraveling an adaptative strategy of species and for finding out an effective way to improve crop productivity to unfavorable winter environments. The aim of this thesis was to examine natural variation for components of freezing tolerance beyond what has been done using the mo...
In the last decades, it became clear that not only molecular signals but also mechanical forces are crucial regulators of developmental processes. The molecular mechanisms via which mechanical forces mediate their control of developmental processes have been extensively investigated via in vitro studies. However, the full range of molecular signals...
Biology is becoming a data-rich science driven by the development of high-throughput technologies like next-generation DNA sequencing. This is fundamentally changing biological research. The genome sequences of many species are becoming available, as well as the genetic variation within a species, and the activity of the genes in a genome under var...
