    • Tagging and mapping of prominent structural genes on chromosome arm 7DL of common wheat 

      Groenewald, Johannes Zacharias (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12)
      ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Chromosome arm 7DL of common wheat carries genes for agronomically important traits such as leaf rust, stem rust, Russian wheat aphid and eye spot resistance. Some of these genes occur on introgressed ...

    • Trehalose and carbon partitioning in sugarcane 

      Bosch, Susan (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-12)
      The current understanding of the regulation of sucrose accumulation is still incomplete even though many scientists have investigated this subject. Components of trehalose metabolism have been implicated in the regulation ...

    • Unravelling the mystery of the shark genus Mustelus in southern Africa using a multidisciplinary approach 

      Maduna, Simo Njabulo (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2017-12)
      ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Multidisciplinary approaches have previously offered some alternative innovative ways of addressing classical ecological questions while providing novel insights into behaviour and biology of elasmobranch ...

    • Virus induced gene silencing for the study of starch metabolism 

      George, Gavin M. (Gavin Mager) (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
      ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Virus Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) was optimized to allow for the study of starch metabolism. The plastidial inorganic pyrophosphatase gene, for which a mutant has never been identified, was studied ...
