Transkriptionell reglering i eukaryota celler
Grundforskning ledde till patent på växter mer beständiga mot torka

Stefan Björklund och hans forskarlag har patent på växter som har visat sig bli mer beständiga mot torka.

Stefan Björklund: Nytt klimat kräver nya växter

Cirka hälften av alla mediciner kommer ursprungligen från växter, men klimatförändringarna skapar problem.
