The genease activity of mung bean nuclease: fact or fiction?
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)The action of Mung Bean Nuclease (MBN) on DNA makes it possible to clone intact gene fragments from genes of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium. This “genease” activity has provided a foundation for further ... -
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and energy services liberalisation in the Southern African Development Community (SADC): issues and prospects

Generalization of a theorem of fitting on the product of two normal nilpotent subgroups of a group
(University of the Western Cape, 1977)Fitting proved that if H and K are normal nilpotent subgroups of G, then so is HK (t1 l'Hilfssatz 10, p. 100). The question arises if this result could be generalized to other group theoretical properties -
Generation of a human gene index and its application to disease candidacy
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)With easy access to technology to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs), several groups have sequenced from thousands to several thousands of ESTs. These ESTs benefit from consolidation and organization to deliver ... -
Generational diversity in a South African corporate: myth or reality? A study investigating the relationship between age and work values
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)Diversity management in South Africa, post 1994, has increasingly become a focal area when considering strategic human resource issues in the corporate environment. To date "traditional" diversity topics have largely ... -

(2007)Genetic analysis for resistance to Woolly Apple Aphid in apple rootstock breeding populations MC Selala MSc Thesis, Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Science, University of the WesternCape. The Woolly Apple Aphid ... -
Genetic analysis for resistance to Woolly Apple Aphid in an apple rootstock breeding population
(2007)The Woolly Apple Aphid (WAA) Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausm.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) is economically one of the most important pests in apple commercial production in the Western Cape province, South Africa. The apple cultivar ... -
Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA within Southern African populations.
(UWC, 2020)As human beings we are curious about our origin and ancestry. A curiosity has led to an investigation of human evolution and expansion across the world by means of population genetics and phylo-genetics by evaluating a ... -
¹Genetic analysis of red pigmentation in ‘bon rouge’ pears (Pyrus communis L.)
(University of Western Cape, 2014)European pear (Pyrus communis L.) is the third most important fruit in South Africa after citrus and apple. The Agricultural Research Council (ARC) breeding programme seeks to obtain a fully red coloured pear. Sports ... -
Genetic analysis of resistance to apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh)
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)Amongst the many problems facing the apple industry, apple scab is one of the most challenging experienced by producers. This disease is caused by Venturia inaequalis, which causes lesions to develop on both the fruit and ... -
Genetic analysis of resistance to powdery mildew (podosphaeara leucotricha) in apple (Malus x dornestica Borkh.)
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)Apple powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera leucotricha, is one of the major diseases of the cultivated apple in the Western Cape, causing severe losses in yield and affecting fruit quality. This affects the deciduous ... -
Genetic analysis of the Cape Sand Frog, Tomopterna delalandii (Tschudi 1838)
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Tomopterna delalandii occurs throughout the west coast, Western Cape and south coast of South Africa. This range stretches across three distinct biogeographical assemblages. Based on historical records and the fact that ... -
Genetic and morphological comparisons within the orthopteran family Pneumoridae
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Bladder grasshoppers belong to the order Orthoptera, ancient family Pneumoridae and Superfamily Pneumoroidea. This small group of grasshoppers are sound producing, nocturnal, herbivorous grasshoppers endemic to the coastal ... -
Genetic diversity of the Organic Cation Transporter 1 gene within the Cape Coloured Population
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of the SLC22A1 gene and to deduce its possible pharmacogenetic implications within the Cape Coloured population of South Africa; a uniquely admixed population ... -
Genetic mapping of fruit quality traits in apple (malus x domestica borkh.)
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)Apple fruit quality is of utmost importance to apple farmers and breeders in the selection and commercialization of new cultivars. Fruit size, colour, texture, firmness and taste are all traits that affect the quality of ... -
Genetic variation among verticillium dahliae isolates using pathogenicity and aflp analysis
(University of the Western Cape, 1999)Soilborne plant pathogenic fungi have had an important economic and social impact on humans since the evolution of agricultural societies (Stakman, 1959). In South Africa, the soilborne pathogen Verticillium dahliae Kleb, ... -
