Manipulating biotic and abiotic factors to enhance the remediation of agri-industrial wastewater in pilot-scale constructed wetlands
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
As a consequence of various cellar activities the wine industry produces copious volumes of potentially hazardous wastewater each year. South Africa is one of the top ten wine-producing countries, making the successful ...
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 ...
Structural and functional studies of XvPrx2, a type II peroxiredoxin protein from the resurrection plant xerophyta viscosa
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
XvPrx2 is a 1-Cys-containing member of the Prx5 subfamily of peroxiredoxins isolated
from the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa. It is reported to be up-regulated during
periods of desiccation and to protect nucleic ...
Expression of recombinant S-locus F-box-S2 protein and computational modeling of protein interaction at the self-incompatibility locus of Rosaceae
(2012)
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a major mechanism that prevents inbreeding in
ow-ering plants, which was identi ed in Rosaceae, Solanaceae and Scrophulariace.
In these families, SI is gametophytic and retains inter-speci ...
Defining the African green monkey (Chlorocebus Aethiops): expression behaviour of selected lipid metabolism genes in response to niacin
(University of Western Cape, 2012)
In this century most major medical advances have resulted in part from research on animals and non-human primates such as the African green monkey and therefore often serve as a critical link between basic research and ...

(2012)
Catchment forums are concerned groups of people that come together on a voluntary basis in a specific area. They share the same goal and purpose to achieve - sustainable water resources management. These Catchment Forums ...
Microbial ecology of hot and cold desert edaphic communities
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This thesis presents significant advances into the microbial ecology of hypolithic communities in two hyperarid deserts. Deserts account for one fifth of the Earths total surface area. These zones differ substantially in ...
