Molecular characterization of grapevine virus E in South Africa

De Koker, Wenhelene Crystal (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Grapevine virus E (GVE) is a newly identified virus that has been detected in an established vineyard in South Africa. This virus is a member of the genus Vitivirus, family Flexiviridae. Members of this ...

The molecular characterization of South African isolates of Grapevine Rupestris Stem Pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV)

Noach, Liesl Christine (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The first aim of this study was to reliably and rapidly detect Grapevine rupestris stem pittingassociated virus (GRSPaV) in grapevine. This was achieved by screening 94 grapevines using crude plant ...

Carstens, Roleen (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa is ranked eighth in the world as far as international wine production is concerned and in terms of area under bearing vines South Africa is ranked 12th. In 2011 the wine industry contributed ...

A metagenomic approach using next-generation sequencing for viral profiling of a vineyard and genetic characterization of grapevine virus E

Coetzee, Beatrix (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Next-generation sequencing technologies are increasingly used in metagenomic studies, largely due to the high sequence data throughput capacity and unbiased approach in determining the genetic composition ...
