(2022)This thesis engages with Ecological Urbanism through a literature review and design project. Through a literature review which reads ecological urbanism with other contemporary social theory, the thesis raises a question: ... -
DEVELOPING AND EXPANDING CRISPR-CAS PLANT GENOME ENGINEERING SYSTEMS
(2022)In order to advance plant biology and speed up crop breeding, researchers have used genome engineering tools in their research. Genome engineering with CRISPR has revolutionized agriculture by providing an easy, fast, and ... -
DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING CRISPR-BASED GENOME EDITING TECHNOLOGIES IN PLANTS
(2022)Earlier genome editing technologies were developed based on programmable nucleases including zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), both requiring tedious protein engineering. ... -
Investigating the hyperdiversity of fungal endophytes in wild Rubiaceae tropical plants and coffee plantations.
(2022)Fungal endophytes are an essential component of a plant’s microbiome, their effect spreads to fitness, disease dynamics, stress tolerance, water acquisition and nutrient uptake. Plant ecosystems, from natural forest to ... -
