Zirconium-induced physiological and biochemical responses in two genotypes of Brassica napus L.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
South Africa is one of two countries responsible for the production of approximately
80% of the world’s Zr. The increase in mining activity has detrimental effects on the
environment, especially crop plants, as more ...
Modulation of soybean and maize antioxidant activities by Caffeic acid and nitric oxide under salt stress
(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 ...
Modulation of soybean and maize antioxidant activities by caffeic acid and nitric oxide under salt stress
(University of Western Cape, 2012)
3,3'-diindolylmethane improves drought tolerance of Zea mays through enhancing antioxidant activity
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Maize is one of the most abundantly produced cereals and contributes to about 40% of the global cereal production. This figure will have to increase in order to feed the ever-growing human population. One of the major ...
Responses of maize Antioxidant Enzymes to drought stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Maize (Zea mays L) was subjected to drought stress for 28 days. The effects of the drought stress on growth, H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation were investigated and the activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide ...
Physiological and molecular characterization of wheat cultivars to Fusarium oxysporum infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Biotic stress is one of the main causes for agricultural loss of economically important cereal crops. The increasing prevalence of biotic stress inflicted by fungal species such as Fusarium has significantly reduced yields ...
Physio-biochemical characterization of two wheat cultivars to Fusarium proliferatum infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Wheat is a key global commodity in terms of acreage and tradeable value and as a staple in
household diets. Many factors including biotic stress conditions have detrimental effects on
global wheat production and yield. ...
