Analysis of the proteome of red and green leaf phenotypes of 'Bon Rouge' pear trees \trus communrls L. by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis
Sehata, Majimi James (University of the Western Cape, 2007)The 'Bon Rouge' pear is a red pear cultivar derived from a rare, spontaneous bud mutation which occurred on the green pear 'William's Bon Chretien' (Bartlett). 'Bon Rouge' pear cultivar was observed to be reverting back ... -
Comparative analysis of molecular and physiological responses of two canola genotypes to drought stress
Nkomo, Mbukeni Andrew (University of the Western Cape, 2016)Food security has always been one of the priority concerns in Africa, and it is mostly threatened by drought stress due to climate change. Drought-induced stress is one of the serious limiting factors of plant production, ... -
Deciphering a potential cytoprotective role of novel heat shock responsive proteins using a proteomic approach
Kimar, Charlene Patricia (University of the Western Cape, 2011)Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is a condition where the blood supply to the heart tissue is cut off, starving the tissue from oxygen and nutrient supply, with consequent lethal damage to the heart ... -
Development of a plum chromosome doubling method and proteomics and biochemical characterization
Mabiya, Thembeka (University of the Western Cape, 2015)Chromosome doubling has become an important tool in breeding programmes as it offers the ability of introducing novel traits into existing plants. Doubled haploid plants are highly valued by both consumers and breeders as ... -
Identification of a transducin (beta)-like 3 protein as a potential biomarker of prediabetes from rat urine using proteomics
Mofokeng, Henrietta Refiloe (University of the Western Cape, 2010)Obesity is a globally increasing disease particularly in developing countries and among children. It is mainly caused by intake of diets high in fat and the lack of physical activity. Obesity is a risk factor for diseases ... -
Proteomic characterisation of wine yeast strains for the expression of arginases involved in urea formation during fermentation
Christians, Lucinda Jo-Anne (University of the Western Cape, 2018)Wine is a fermented beverage widely consumed all over the world as a recreational drink, but is known for its health benefits to humans. However, wine contain urea, a by-product of arginine hydrolysis by arginases expressed ...
