Characterisation, Isolation, Purification and Toxigenicity ofDiplodiatoxin produced by Stenocarpella maydis in Maize
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Mycotoxins attract worldwide attention because of the significant economic losses
associated with their impact on human health, animal productivity, domestic and
international trade. Over 300 mycotoxins have been discovered, ...
The effect of kinetin and salt stress on pnp-a expression in erucastrum strigosum and arabidopsis thaliana
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
In agriculture crop productivity is greatly affected by stresses such as salinity, drought,
temperature and honnonal changes of crop plants and responses to these stresses. Studies
have shown that a natriuretic peptide ...
Policy based network management of legacy network elements in next generation networks for voice services
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Telecommunication companies, service providers and large companies are now
adapting converged multi-service Next Generation Networks (NGNs). Network

HIV subtype C diversity: analysis of the relationship of sequence diversity to proposed epitope locations
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Southern Africa is facing one of the most serious HIV epidemics. This project contributes to the HIVNET, Network for Prevention Trials cohort for vaccine development. HIVÂ’s biology and rapid mutation rate have made vaccine ...
Low detection of exon skipping in mouse genes orthologous to human genes on chromosome 22
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Alternative RNA splicing is one of the leading mechanisms contributing towards transcript and protein diversity. Several alternative splicing surveys have confirmed the frequent occurrence of exon skipping in human genes. ...
Molecular detection and genetic manipulation of the Black Queen Cell Virus
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The South African isolate of the Black Queen-Cell Virus (BQCV), a honeybee virus, was previously found to have an 8550 nucleotide genome excluding the poly(A) tail. Its genome contained two ORFs, a 5'-proximal ORF encoding ...
Expression and purification of the novel protein domain DWNN
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Proteins play an important role in cells, as the morphology, function and activities of the cell depend on the proteins they express. The key to understanding how different proteins function lies in an understanding of the ...
The extraction, purification and evaluation of compounds from the leaves of Leonotis Leonorus for anticonvulsant activity
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The aim of this study is to isolate and evaluate the anticonvulsant components from the leaves of Leonotis leonorus (L) R.aR. and to see if there is any change in activity with the origin of the plant material and I or the ...
Chytridiomycosis in amphibian populations in the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
There have been many cases reported of amphibian populations declining. These are often due to anthropogenic factors such as habitat destruction and pollution. However, some declines have not had an obvious cause and many ...
The chemical stability of betamethasone valerate and fluocinolone acetonide cream and ointment in cetomacrogol and emulsifying cream and ointment bases
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory molecules but their usage is hampered by adverse effects. To minimise their adverse reactions, proprietary brands of topical corticosteroids are commonly diluted with a ...
