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

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 ...
The role of p-coumaric acid on physiological and biochemical response of chia seedling under salt stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The role of phenolic acids in mitigating salt stress tolerance have been well documented. However, there are contradicting reports on the effect of exogenously applied phenolic acids on the growth and development of various ...
Methylgyoxal signalling in Phaseolus vulgaris under phosphate deficiency
(UWC, 2020)
In this study, we observed that phosphate (P) deficiency stunted plant growth and produced plants with poor morphological characteristics (yellow and small leaves). Furthermore, we treated plants with 0.8 mM (control) and ...
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. ...
