  1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Författare :Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

    Sammanfattning : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Védís Mist Eyju Agnadóttir; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Investigation of the interaction of A-MYB and TCFL5 on pachytene PIWI-interacting RNA genes in two sub-species of mice, mus musculus musculus and mus musculus castaneus

    Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Författare :Most Shova Banu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Spermatogenesis is a complex process that involves the production of sperm cells from germ cells in order to transmit genetic information to progeny. The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) is a non-coding small silencing RNA that guides the PIWI protein to silence target transposon transcripts to regulate the production of germ cells. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Search for the Argonaute protein that governs miRNA regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Miranda Åström; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Argonaute proteins; RNA interference; miRNA; 3xFLAG-tag;

    Sammanfattning : MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through RNA interference. These small RNAs enact gene silencing by forming a RNA-inducing silencing complex together with the effector protein Argonaute. The function of the Argonautes in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is not yet fully understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Epigenetic Regulation of Mitochondrial DNA

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Jennie Johansson; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Acetylation; Epigenetics; Heteroplasmy; Methylation; Mitochondrial haplotype; Mitochondrion; Non coding RNA; Phosphorylation;

    Sammanfattning : This mini-review investigates and compiles the latest knowledge regarding epigenetic changes on the mammalian mitochondrial DNA and its proteins. Methylation of the DNA, acetylation of the proteins and silencing of genes by short non-coding RNAs are the main epigenetic changes known today to affect mitochondrial DNA, mostly leading to repression.
