Calpain activity and texture in Atlantic salmon muscle analysis
(Master thesis, 2014-02-19)Calpain system consists of L- calpain , m- calpain, the calcium- dependent neutral proteases, and their endogenous inhibitor , calpastatin. Calpain system is probably the major proteolytic enzyme in protein degradation, ... -
Can drought tolerance be a preadaptation to frost tolerance? : evolution of responses to drought and sudden frost within the grass subfamily Pooideae
(Master thesis, 2019)The grass family (Poaceae) is one of the most economical and ecological important plant family on earth. The largest of the Poaceae grass subfamilies is Pooideae. This subfamily contains many of our crop and forage grasses ... -
Can fish grow on trees? Nutritional and functional properties of yeasts in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Phd Thesis;2022:11, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Yeasts are gaining attention as alternative ingredients in fish feeds. The nutritional and health potentials of non-saccharomyces yeasts in fish are scarce in literature. Three non-saccharomyces yeasts; Cyberlindnera jadinii ... -
Carbohydrate digestion in horses : methods, processing, and future perspectives
(PhD Thesis;2022:7, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Understanding the digestion of nutrients in different segments of the gastro-intestinal tract of horses is important for correct feed evaluation. This thesis aimed to examine starch and fibre digestion and fermentation in ... -
Casein loci SNPs and haplotypes association with milk production traits of Norwegian Goats and their French Alpine Crosses
(Master thesis, 2010-11-26)På grunn av deres kvantitative og kvalitative effekter på melkeproduksjonen og melkekomponenter, har kaseinloci vært og vil fortsatt være gjenstand for intens forskning. Vårt arbeid var også ment å studere haplotypestrukturer ... -
Cathepsin activity and texture in Atlantic salmon muscle
(Master thesis, 2015-07-27)Cathepsins, a family of lysosomal proteases, are believed to play a role in muscle tenderization. In the present study the activity of cathapsin B+L in Atlantic salmon muscle and a possible influence on the textural quality ... -
Celestial ecology : multiple ontologies of plant breeding
(Master thesis, 2017)This study investigates the role that concepts of nature play in contemporary plant breeding practices, primarily in the Wageningen University plant breeding department but also among biodynamic breeders and breeders working ... -
Cell fate and blade patterning during the early growth of Saccharina latissima sporophytes
(PhD Thesis;2023:14, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Saccharina latissima is a multicellular parenchymatic photosynthetic organism in the group of brown algae (Phaeophyceae). It belongs specifically to the group of kelps (Laminariales), a group that has recently acquired ... -
Changes in gene expression induced by hypoxia in cultured gas gland cells from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Master thesis, 2017)Low level of oxygen, called hypoxia, triggers the transcription of regulatory genes that promote O2 delivery and anaerobic metabolism. The majority of this transcriptional response to hypoxia is mediated by the Hypoxia ... -
Characterisation of fructan accumulation in grasses and its implication for cold adaptation and overwintering
(Master thesis, 2021)Fructans are fructose-based oligo- and polysaccharides that occur in many plants in temperate climates. Beside its main function as storage carbohydrate, fructan has been suggested to play a role in temperate adaptations, ... -
Characterization and expression analysis of the key genes for early development of swim bladder in Atlantic cod
(Master thesis, 2017)Some genes have been proved critical for swim bladder inflation during early stages. Hence, our researches were focused on the investigation into the genetic features of the key genes to early development of Atlantic cod ... -
Characterization and optimization of the ParB_INT imaging tool
(Master thesis, 2020)Partitioning B (ParB) proteins are key to the prokaryotic partitioning machinery which ensures proper segregation of replicated plasmid DNA strands. ParB proteins bind specifically to a centromere-like parS sequence, from ... -
Characterization of binding ability of the commercial and novel feed binders in starch and protein based particles
(Master thesis, 2020)Pelletization aims to agglomerate a small particle of feed to become a larger particle using pressure, moisture, and heat. Pellets must have a basic form of physical quality in terms of hardness and durability to withstand ... -
Characterization of chromatin-bound interactome of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)
(Master thesis, 2020)Proper gene expression relies on control by an abundant number of factors and mechanisms, and the orchestration of these fine-tuned programs is fundamental in cellular functionality. Transcription regulation by RNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of Functional Physical Properties of The Dry Pet Food Manufactured with Animal, Plant, and Microalgae Ingredients
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of the thesis is to gain better understanding on the effects of defatted microalgae biomass (Desmodesmus sp.), vital wheat gluten and potato protein on physical qualities of extruded dry pet food. Two experiments ... -
Characterization of genes and proteins related to chitin metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2022:46, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Chitin is an insoluble polysaccharide and important component in the extracellular matrix of invertebrates such as arthropods, algae, and fungi. In vertebrates, the role and significance of chitin have not been deeply ... -
Characterization of genes and gene products influencing carotenoid metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2017:36, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Distinct red flesh color is a unique trait of the fish genera Oncorhynchus, Salvelinus, Salmo and Parahucho. In this thesis we have investigated its molecular basis in Atlantic salmon to better understand how and why it ... -
