Molecular detection and genetic manipulation of the Black Queen Cell Virus
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The South African isolate of the Black Queen-Cell Virus (BQCV), a honeybee virus, was previously found to have an 8550 nucleotide genome excluding the poly(A) tail. Its genome contained two ORFs, a 5'-proximal ORF encoding ...
Functional genomic characterization of fruit quality traits in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh)
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh), belonging to the Malusgenus of the Rosaceae family, is one of the edible pomaceous fruits. Since it is one of the important commercial fruit crops worldwide, the quality ...
Cloning, expression and characterization of Novel Lipase and Esterases from Burkholderia multivorans UWC10
(2005)
An esterase and lipase producing Burkholderia multivorans strain was isolated by culture enrichment strategies. A shotgun library of Burkholderia multivorans genomic DNA (prepared in E. coli/pUC18) was screened for lipase ...
Molecular detection and characterisation of RNA viruses of honeybees
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Honeybees have evolved through the centuries to inhabit most parts of the world except for the extreme Polar Regions. These insects have also been susceptible to pathogens and disease which has always been part of the ...
Characterization and engineering of Bacillus megaterium AS-35, for use in biodegradation of processed olive wastewater
(University of Western Cape, 2005)
The popularization and health benefits associated with the "Mediterranean diet" saw a world wide increase in the production and consumption of processed olives and olive oil. During the brining of table olives large ...
Genome-wide identification and comprehensive analysis of transcriptionsl desert regions
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
The initiation of transcription in mammalian genomes predominatly occurs
at 5' promoter regions, however increasingly initiation events have been
observed within introns, coding exons and 3' UTRs. Nevertheless there ...
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 ...
A proteomic analysis of drought and salt stress responsive proteins of different sorghum varieties
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolorï, a drought tolerant cereal crop, is not only an important food source in the semi arid/arid regions but also a potential model for studying and gaining a better understanding of the molecular ...
