Specias delimitation and assessment of genetic variability in Carpobrotus (Alzoaceae): evidence from amplified fragment length polymorphisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Species of Carpobrotus (Aizoaceae: Ruschioideae) are widely spread throughout South Africa and are commonly used for their medicinal properties. The genus consists of 13 species of which seven occur in South Africa, five ...
Salt tolerance and modification of wheat salt resistance by plant hormones
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The history of salt tolerance and the factors effecting salt resistance of plants were literature surveyed, and it was concluded that ion
concentration, salt accumulation, compatible solutes and the genetic traits play a ...
The water quality and ecological status of the Diep river catchment, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2004)
The study illustrates the current ecological integrity of the Diep River system,
based on the recent river health assessment using the South African Scoring
System version 5 (2000-2003) and the water quality data ...
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 ...
