The molecular characterization of trichoplusia ni single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus: a study on early regulatory features
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
With the development of biological insecticides, many research efforts have been made in baculoviruses to investigate fundamental molecular aspects of these viruses, such as the function and regulation of genes, genome ...
The Shallow water bryozoans of the West Coast of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The South African biota is characterised by high levels of diversity and endemism. While commercially viable taxa have been well-studied, cryptic organisms such as bryozoans, have been neglected in terms of study. Taxonomic ...
Measurements and applications of radon in South African aquifer and river waters

Species delimitation and assessment of genetic variability in Carpobrotus (Aizoaceae): evidence from amplified fragment length polymorphisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
During the course of this thesis, AFLP technique was successfully applied to the Aizoaceae taxa. This study involved a substantial component of laboratory work including generating and analysing AFLP data, the operation ...
