Modulation of soybean and maize antioxidant activities by Caffeic acid and nitric oxide under salt stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This study explores the roles of exogenously applied nitric oxide, exogenously applied caffeic acid and salt stress on the ontioxidant system in cereal (exemplified by maize) and legume (using soybean as an example) plants ...
Modulation of soybean and maize antioxidant activities by caffeic acid and nitric oxide under salt stress
(University of Western Cape, 2012)
Investigation into the role of DWNN in cell death
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Many genes are activated to influence the self-destruction programme of the cell. This programme entails synchronised instigation and implementation of numerous subprograms. The arrival of gene targeting aided in the ...
Identification and characterisation of a novel gene, DWNN, isolated from promoter-trapped Chinese hamster ovary cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The process of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) killing involves the recognition and destruction of foreign antigens by cytotoxic T cells and is of crucial importance to the defence of the organism against viral infections. ...
Responses of maize Antioxidant Enzymes to drought stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Maize (Zea mays L) was subjected to drought stress for 28 days. The effects of the drought stress on growth, H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation were investigated and the activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide ...
Responses of maize antioxidant enzymes to drought stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Maize (Zea mays L) was subjected to drought stress for 28 days. The effects of the drought stress on growth, H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation were investigated and the activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide ...
Physiological and molecular characterization of wheat cultivars to Fusarium oxysporum infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Biotic stress is one of the main causes for agricultural loss of economically important cereal crops. The increasing prevalence of biotic stress inflicted by fungal species such as Fusarium has significantly reduced yields ...
Isolation and characterisation of leaf endophytic bacteria from weed plants for enhancing salinity stress tolerance in Brassica napus
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
In an ever changing environment, plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic stresses such as salinity, which limits global crop production. This directly affects food availability for the global population, which ...
Methylgyoxal signalling in Phaseolus vulgaris under phosphate deficiency
(UWC, 2020)
In this study, we observed that phosphate (P) deficiency stunted plant growth and produced plants with poor morphological characteristics (yellow and small leaves). Furthermore, we treated plants with 0.8 mM (control) and ...
Evaluation of agronomic and drought response traits in two cultivars of soybean for cultivation in the Transkei region of the Eastern Cape
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Drought is a major stress that affects the productivity of plants across the globe. The consequences of drought are posed to continue reducing agricultural productivity as world climate changes. This makes it imperative ...
