Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.

This thesis applies data mining in commercial settings in the telecommunications industry.

Maak een reis door de geschiedenis en de toekomst van het leven op aarde.

De missie van het Plant Sciences onderzoeksprogramma is om bij te dragen aan de duurzame productie van gewassen van hoge kwaliteit, bloemen en hoogwaardige producten met een biologische basis. Dit wordt gerealiseerd door het opdoen van fundamentele kennis over biologische processen omtrent de ontwikkeling…

In this thesis, the role of plant-mediated soil legacy effects in shaping aboveground plant-insect interactions was investigated.

Biodiversity enables ecosystems to thrive through the synergy of functional differences among organisms. While human well-being strongly depends on biodiversity-driven ecosystem services, human actions are also at the root of current unprecedented biodiversity declines.

Plants are colonized by an astounding number of microorganisms that can provide different life-support functions, including nutrient acquisition and protection against (a)biotic stresses like drought or pathogen attack.

Plant diversity is essential for us and our planet as it sustains the stability of our ecosystems, provides vital materials and food to us and supports many ecosystem services.

The overall objectives of my thesis are to investigate the dynamics of the sorghum root microbiome and to explore the beneficial effects of the root microbiome on sorghum growth and stress tolerance.

Plant-microbe interaction resulted in different physio/chemical responses by host plant and interacting rhizobacteria.

In light of climate change, it is crucial to determine whether plant species can adapt to future climates to avoid extinction. Plants adapt to various conditions by altering their functional traits, such as leaf size or photosynthetic rate. Some traits appear linked and vary together between species,…

The elicitation of mentor teachers' practical knowledge by prospective teachers

Mining time series is a machine learning subfield that focuses on a particular data structure, where variables are measured over (short or long) periods of time.

EnSMiRT wil de expertise binnen de alliantie Una Europa benutten en de samenwerking tussen toonaangevende onderzoekers die in verschillende stadia van de minerale waardeketen werken, stimuleren om deze dringende uitdagingen rechtstreeks aan te pakken.

Soil biodiversity is of great importance for the maintenance of multifunctionality in terrestrial ecosystems.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) has abundantly been used for scientific research for identifying valuable traits.

In this thesis we explore machine and deep learning approaches that address keychallenges in high dimensional problem areas and also in improving accuracy in wellknown problems. In high dimensional contexts, we have focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Op 24 april verdedigde Feby Kartikasari het proefschrift 'Mining and environmental protection in Indonesia: regulatory pitfalls'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door Adriaan Bedner en Bernardo Ribeiro de Almeida.

In this thesis, I focused on studying the above- and belowground interactions of J. vulgaris from a plant-soil feedback (hereafter, PSF) perspective. I investigated the temporal variation of negative PSF and examined the effects of root-associated bacteria on plant performance and aboveground herbiv…

Trigonostemon Blume is a plant genus in the family Euphorbiaceae comprising 59 species.

The plant hormone auxin regulates plant growth and development through polar cell-to-cell transport-generated maxima and minima. PIN FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers determine the direction of this auxin flow through their asymmetric placement on the plasma membrane (PM).

Microbiome composition of the spermosphere and the rhizosphere of wild and modern bean accessions grown in an agricultural and a native soil from Colombia was characterized by metagenomics and cultivation-dependent approaches.

We showed that constitutive and inducible chemical and morphological defenses against Western flower thrips differ between tomato and chrysanthemum plants.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone, which is involved in the defense responses to pathogens and to abiotic stress, and in the regulation of plant growth and development.

Negatieve getallen staan deze week centraal in de rubriek Durf te vragen van NRC Handelsblad. Peter Stevenhagen mag daar als hoogleraar Wiskunde zijn licht over laten schijnen.

In de afgelopen jaren is het verzamelen en verwerken van tal van gegevens aanzienlijk toegenomen. Met behulp van nieuwe technologieën zoals data mining wordt getracht kennis te halen uit verzamelde gegevens. Vaak wordt gezocht naar profielen die eigenschappen of risico's van bepaalde groepen beschrijven.…

By growing in a soil plants change the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil in which they grow.
