Deciphering the determinants of molecular physiological responses to drought and heat stress in sorghum lines contrasting in stress tolerance via a proteomics approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Sorghum is an important crop in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The
predicted rise in global temperatures will increase the probability of exposing sorghum to heat
waves in combination with drought. Thus, production ...
Identification of sub-clinical biomarkers that predict the risk of developing diabetic cardiomyopathy
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death of people with obesity and type 2
diabetes (T2DM). According to a statistical report from the World Health Organization
(WHO), approximately 17.9 million people ...
The interactive effects of salt stress and Fusarium proliferatum infection on maize seedlings
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Field crops are often subjected to multiple co-occurring stress factors, and they evolved specific mechanisms to counteract the effects of these stress factors. Most studies explore the fundamental molecular mechanisms ...
Inter-individual genetic variation and the development of hypertension in a Xhosa African population of Eastern Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 18.6 million deaths. Hypertension (HTN) drives the global burden of CVD and is a leading cause of cardiovascular-related mortality with ...
Mitigation of salinity stress using exogenously applied molybdenum in sorghum bicolor
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The agricultural sector is the main producer of food throughout the world. However, the constant changes in environmental conditions, such as extreme weather, droughts, and salinity have impacted this sector negatively ...
