Characterization of two Arabidopsis thaliana genes with roles in plant homeostasis
Ludidi, Ndomelele Ndiko (University of the Western Cape, 2004)Plants are continuously exposed to varying conditions in their environment, to which they have to adapt by manipulating various cellular processes. Environmental (abiotic) and pathogen (biotic) stress are challenges against ... -
Influence of a selected endophyte consortium on salinity responses in Medicago sativa
Keyster, Eden (University of Western Cape, 2022)Salinity is one of the major limiting factors to crop production, which consequently contributes to the risk of reduced food security. Among other factors, food security depends on availability of sufficient and nutritious ... -
Involvement of abscisic acid and H2O2 in antioxidant enzyme activities mediated by nitric oxide synthase-like activity in maize
Hlatshwayo, Siphiwe Gift (University of the Western Cape, 2018)In recent years, nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important endogenous plant signalling molecule that mediates many developmental and physiological processes. NO regulates the activity of antioxidant enzymes in response ... -
Modulation of soybean and maize antioxidant activities by Caffeic acid and nitric oxide under salt stress
Klein, Ashwil Johan (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 ... -
