Identification of quantitative trait loci control l ing the requirement for chilling in vegetative budbreak in apple (malus x domestica borkh.)
(2008)
The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) has been distributed into diverse climatic conditions worldwide for commercial production of fruit. Apple trees need exposure to cold temperatures, referred to as chill ...

Comparison of actinobacterial diversity in Marion Island terrestrial habitats
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The major aim of this study is to determine and compare the distribution of bacteria and actinobacteria in Marion Island terrestrial habitats.
An assessment of the dietary intake of pregnant women in the West Coast / Winelands region, Western Cape Province: relation to low birth weight
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
This secondary analysis aimed to develop dietary scores to assess the dietary intake of pregnant women in the West Coast/ Winelands region and determine the association with LBW. Further to determine the association between ...
The structure, function and engineering of a thermostable nitrile hydratase
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Nitrile hydratases (NHases) are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of organocyanides to amides via a non-hydrolytic hydration reaction. They are industrially relevant enzymes, currently used in the manufacture of ...
Gene Discovery in Antarctic Dry Valley Soils
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The metagenomic approach to gene discovery circumvents conventional gene and gene product acquisition by exploiting the uncultured majority of microorganisms in the environment. It was demonstrated in this study that ...
The relationship between structure and thermostability of a nitrile hydratase from Goebacillus pallidus RAPc8
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Nitrile hydratases (NHases) are very important biocatalysts for the enzymatic conversion of nitriles to industrially important amides such as acrylamide and nicotinamide. An “ideal” NHase should fulfil several essential ...
The Internal Validation and Casework Application of MiniSTR Systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The objective of the study was to conduct an internal validation on miniSTR systems and apply it to cases received from the South African Missing Persons Task Team (SAMPTT). This was prompted by the fact that miniSTR systems ...
Saturation sequencing, characterisation and mapping of the NBS-LRR resistance gene family in apple, Malus x domestica (Borkh)
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
To date five classes of resistance proteins have been identified in plants and these include the intracellular protein kinases, receptor-like protein kinases with extracellular leucinerich repeat (LRR) domain, LRR proteins ...
