Identification of regulatory elements mediating responses of SOD and cystatin transcripts to salt stress and nitric oxide in soybean nodules
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Nitric oxide (NO) has previously been shown to play a vital role in plants that are undergoing oxidative stress arising from abiotic stress. To better understand the role of NO on the antioxidative pathway, ...
Isolation and characterisation of genes encoding biopolymer manufacturing enzymes
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Biopolymers exhibit the required material properties to replace conventional, non-biodegradable, petroleum-based polymer products. They have a closed carbon cycle, making them carbon neutral and environmentally ...
Isolation and partial characterisation of PHT1;5, a putative high affinity phosphate transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Inorganic Phosphate (Pi) is one of the key nutrients required by all living organisms on earth. This nutrient is of vital importance to higher plants but it is not readily available for uptake from the ...
