Regulated expression of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe malic enzyme gene
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is able to effectively degrade extracellular
L-malate by means of a permease for the active transport of L-malate and a malic enzyme that
catalyses the ...
Cloning and identification of genes involved in the interaction between the bacterial stone fruit pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain NV and plum trees
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Bacterial canker of stone fruit, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, is one of
the most destructive crop diseases in South Africa. Chemical control has failed completely
and effective long-term ...
Isolation and characterisation of a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) and its encoding gene from Vitis vinifera L.
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are present in the cell walls of a variety
of plant species. These proteins have been shown to specifically inhibit
endopolygalacturonases (endo-PGs) ...
Sequence analysis of a Cowdria ruminantium lamdba (sic) GEM-11 clone
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Heartwater is a major threat to livestock in Africa due to its high mortality rate. The
intracellular nature of the causative organism, Cowdria ruminantium, makes it difficult to
study, hence an effective ...
A study of the strain evolution and recombination of South African isolates of Potato virus Y
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Potato virus Y (PVY) is responsible for considerable yield losses in the South African potato industry.
The incidence of this virus has greatly increased over the past 20 years. In previous studies ...
A biosytematic [i.e. biosystematic] study of the seven minor genera of the Hyacinthaceae
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A biosytematic revision of the seven minor genera of the Hyacinthaceae, including
twenty-two species, was undertaken. Muller-Doblies & Muller-Doblies (1997)
considered these seven genera (Amphisiphon ...

(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)
The genus Oxalis forms a major part of the flora of southern Africa, in particular the
Cape Floristic Region (CFR) at the southwestern tip of the continent, but the current
taxonomy is outdated and ecological knowledge ...
Immunological and epidemiological investigations in South African ostriches and penguins
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Newcastle disease (NO) and mycoplasma infections in ostriches have considerable
economic implications for the South African ostrich industry in that NO is a limiting
factor in the export of ostrich ...

Streptocarpus Lindl. (Gesneriaceae DC.) is a genus of herbaceous plants containing
approximately 160 species, of which the majority occur in Africa and Madagascar. They are
largely restricted to shaded and moist habitats ...
The indentification, contiguous sequence annotation, cloning and site-directed mutagenesis of the P100 vaccine candidate gene of the ostrich mycoplasma Ms02
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The ostrich industry in South Africa is currently threatened by respiratory disease in feedlot ostriches
which causes a dramatic loss in production. Ms01, Ms02 and Ms03 were identified as the three ...
