(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Apple fruit quality is of utmost importance to apple farmers and breeders in the selection and commercialization of new cultivars. Fruit size, colour, texture, firmness and taste are all traits that affect the quality of ...
Investigation of the interactions of retinoblastoma binding protein-6 with transcription factors p53 and Y-Box Binding Protein-1
(2011)
Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 6 (RBBP6) is a 250 kDa multi-domain protein that
has been implicated in diverse cellular processes including apoptosis, mRNA processing and cell cycle regulation. Many of these functions are ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Listeria monocytogenes has been established as a food-borne pathogen since the early 1980s and has become a big concern for the food industry and Public Health authorities (Doyle 2001; Oliveira et al. 2003; Capita et al. ...
Isolation, identification and characterisation of novel actinobacteria from Zambian hot-springs
(2011)
Actinomycetes are ubiquitous in many environments such as soil, activated sludge and water.Besides the genus Streptomyces, which has been extensively exploited, members of other genera including Micromonospora have been ...
Structural and functional characterisation of a novel signalling molecule in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2011)
Nitric Oxide (NO) influences a wide range of physiological processes in plants including growth and development, responses to abiotic and biotic stress and pathogen responses. NO binds to the heme group of the mammalian ...
