Molecular Characterisation of the Brassinosteroid, Phytosulfokine and cGMP-dependent Responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
Kwezi, Lusisizwe (University of the Western Cape, 2010)In this thesis, we have firstly cloned and expressed the domains that harbours the putative catalytic GC domain in these receptor molecules and demonstrate that these molecules can convert GTP to cGMP in vitro. Secondly, ... -
Physical and genetical investigation of the Xp11.3 region on the short arm of the human X-chromosome
Wittwer, Pia Ethena (University of the Western Cape, 2004)The pattern of inactivation in the DXS8237E-UBE1-PCTK1 region is of particular interest, since the mechanisms of X chromosome inactivation and the escape from inactivation are, as yet, not fully understood. The inactivation ... -
Physiological and cellular characterization of a plant natriuretic peptide
Maqungo, Monique Nonceba (University of the Western Cape, 2005)Plants in the field are exposed to multiple stresses and their response to these various stresses determines their capacity to survive. Plants can use multiple signaling pathways and signals to mediate their response; for ... -
Plant natriuretic peptides - elucidation of the mechanisms of action
Ruzvidzo, Oziniel (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Several lines of cellular and physiological evidence have suggested the presence of a novel class of systemically mobile plant molecules that are recognized by antibodies generated against vertebrate atrial natriuretic ...
