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 ...
Characterization of two Arabidopsis thaliana genes with roles in plant homeostasis
(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 ...
Factors associated with participation in physical activity among adults with diabete mellitus in Kigali, Rwanda
(2008)
The present study aimed to examine the demographic, social and health-related factors that are associated with levels of physical activity participation among adults with diabetes mellitus in Kigali, Rwanda.
The feasibility of high resolution, three-dimensional reconstruction of metal-coated surfaces in structural biology
(2006)
Life is an emergent property of a complex network of interacting cellular-machines. Three-dimensional (3D), cellular structure captured at supra-atomic resolution has the potential to revolutionise our understanding of the ...
Cloning, expression and characterisation of Amidase Genes from a psychrotolerant Nesterenkonia isolate
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
A nitrile and amide hydrolysing Nesterenkonia sp. was isolated from Antarctic soil and was characterised as a psychrotolerant, halotolerant and alkaliphilic extremophile. Amidases are widely distributed in both prokaryotic ...
Solution structure of the RING finger domain from the human splicing-associated protein RBBP6 using heteronuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
(2009)
Retinoblastoma-binding protein 6 (RBBP6) is a multi-domain human protein known to play a role in mRNA splicing, cell cycle control and apoptosis. The protein interacts with tumour suppressor proteins p53 and pRb and recent ...
A yeast 2-hybrid screen to identify and characterize interaction partners of the cancer associated protein retinoblastoma binding protein 6
(2009)
Retinoblastoma binding protein 6 (RBBP6) is a 250 kDa protein that is
implicated in mRNA processing and ubiquitination functions and has been
shown to be highly up-regulated in a number of cancers. In humans and mice,RBBP6 ...
Identification of ruantitative trait loci controlling 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 ...
Screening of natural products and alkylating agents for antineoplastic activity
(2007)
Apoptosis is a process in which a cell programmes its own death. It is a highly organized physiological mechanism in which injured or damaged cells are destroyed. Apart from physiological stimuli however, exogenous factors ...
Molecular detection and characterisation of RNA viruses of honeybees
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Propagation methods for honeybee viruses have not changed since these viruses were discovered. There are no suitable cell lines or cell culture techniques available for honeybee viruses. Honeybee viruses have to be manually ...
