Aberrations in the Retinoblastoma susceptibility gene in tumours from South Africa oesophageal cancer patients
(University of the Western Cape, 1996)
Little is known about the genetic events occurring in oesophageal cancer and very few studies have been undertaken to analyse oesophageal tumours from South African patients in this regard. Inactivation of numerous tumour ...
Bioactivity guided fractionation of Sutherlandia frutescens extracts for the induction of apoptosis
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Sutherlandia frutescens popularly known as "cancer bush" or "kankerbos" is indigenous to South Africa and claimed by traditional healers to have wide therapeutic potential, most specifically against cancer. To verify these ...
Identification and partial characterisation of a putative novel plant stress response gene from Arabidopsis thaliana.
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
Exposure of plants to stress results in the expression of plant genes whose products play a role in defence responses against the stress. Stress stimuli to which plants may be exposed are wounding, drought, salinity, ...
"Genetic variation between two subspecies of reedfrogs in the genus Hyperolius (Anura: Hyperoliidae)"
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
H. m. broadleyi and H. m. verrucosus are not only different in terms of colour pattern, but distinct genetic differences were detected in restriction site maps of their ribosomal DNA. A sequence divergence value of 13,8% ...
Genetic variation of rana fuscigula in Southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 1994)
Naturalists have long been engaged in describing and explaining diversity in the biological world. The discovery of the molecular basis of inheritance has led to rapid increase in the use of biological macromolecules in ...
Isolation and Partial Characterization Serine Protease Inhibitors from Triticum aestivum cv' Witwol
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
Plant diseases and plant pests are major constraints to plant growth and development, resulting in severe crop losses annually. Plant pathogens can be a variety of things, living and non-living. Non-living pathogens exist ...
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and p53 gene status in South African oesophageal cancer patients
(University of the Western Cape, 1996)
Oesophageal cancer is the most conmon cause of cancer-related deaths in black males in South Africa. In an effort to understand the molecular nature of oesophageal carcinogenesis in South Africa, two tumour suppressor ...
