Pigment identification during deetiolation of barley seedlings
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Angiosperm plants like barley (Hordeum vulgare) lack chlorophyll when grown in complete dark. Upon exposure to light, chlorophyll is formed during the process of deetiolation. Here , we show that in complete darkness barley ... -
Sorption of nitrates to activated carbon
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Stormwater is an increasing global threat to water quality in water bodies. Urbanization is expanding, and so is the amount of impermeable surfaces that prevents water seepage into the ground. This is disturbing the natural ... -
Adsorption of the phytoestrogens, genistein and daidzein, onto the iro oxide-hydroxide goethite
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Genistein and daidzein are plant-derived compounds called phytoestrogens, and they are found in high concentrations in legumes, primarily soy. Phytoestrogens function as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in animals ... -
In vivo subcellular targeting analyses of newly predicted plant PTS2 nonapeptides
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Peroxisomes are organelles bounded by a single membrane and are present in all major groups of eukaryotes. Peroxisomal proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and are targeted to the peroxisome by targeting signals present ... -
