A proteomic analysis of drought and salt stress responsive proteins of different sorghum varieties
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)This study reports on a proteomic analysis of sorghum proteomes in response to salt and hyperosmotic stresses. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) was used to separate, ... -
A proteomic analysis of drought and salt stress responsive proteins of different sorghum varieties
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolorï, a drought tolerant cereal crop, is not only an important food source in the semi arid/arid regions but also a potential model for studying and gaining a better understanding of the molecular ... -
Proteomic and functional characterisation of biofilm formation in Xylophilus ampelinus
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Xylophilus ampelinus, the causal agent of bacterial blight of grapevine, inhabits the vascular tissues of infected plants where the cells appear to form assemblages resembling biofilms. Bacterial blight of grapevine ... -
