GlobalFiler® express DNA amplification kit in South Africa: Extracting the past from the present
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this study, the GlobalFiler1 Express amplification kit was evaluated for forensic use in 541 South
African individuals belonging to the Afrikaaner, amaXhosa,1 amaZulu,1 Asian Indian and Coloured
population groups.
Allelic ...
Response of soybean nodules to exogenously applied caffeic acid during NaCl-induced salinity
(Elsevier, 2015)
affeic acid acts as an antioxidant to scavenge reactive oxygen species, but its influence on plant responses to abi-
otic stresses is only partially understood. Here, we investigated the influence of exogenously applied ...
Genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of the organic cation transporter 1 gene (SLC22A1) in the Xhosa population of South Africa
(Brazilian Society of Genetics, 2014)
Human organic cation transporter 1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes and mediates the electrogenic transport of
various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including clinically important drugs. Genetic polymorphisms ...
Drought and exogenous abscisic acid alter hydrogen peroxide accumulation and diferentially regulate the expression of two maize RD22-like genes
(Nature Research, 2017)
Increased biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA) occurs in plants in response to water defcit, which is
mediated by changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species such as H2O2. Water defcit and ABA
induce expression of ...
Extremophiles in biofuel synthesis
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2010)
The current global energy situation has demonstrated an urgent need for the development of alternative fuel sourcesto the continually diminishing fossil fuel reserves. Much research to address this issue focuses on the ...
Efficient superoxide scavenging and metal immobilization in roots determines the level of tolerance to vanadium stress in two contrasting Brassica napus genotypes
(Elsevier, 2018)
Brassica napus also known as Rapeseed is a member of the Brassicaceae family which is mainly cultivated for its
oil-rich seeds. Indeed, B. napus is ranked the third-largest source of vegetable oil in the world. Brassica ...
Proteomic analysis of grape berry cell cultures reveals that developmentally regulated ripening related processes can be studied using cultured cells
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
This work describes a proteomics profiling method, optimized and applied to berry cell suspensions to evaluate organ-specific cultures as a platform to study grape berry ripening. Variations in berry ripening within a ...
A simple, high-throughput modeling approach reveals insights into the mechanism of gametophytic self-incompatibility
(Nature Research, 2016)
Specificity in the GSI response results from the S-haplotype-specific molecular interaction of S-locus
F-box (SLF/SFB) and SRNase proteins in the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus). The answer to the
question of how ...
The arabidopsis wall associated kinase-like 10 gene encodes a functional guanylyl cyclase and is coexpressed with pathogen defense related genes
(Public Library of Science, 2010)
Second messengers have a key role in linking environmental stimuli to physiological responses. One such messenger, guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), has long been known to be an essential signaling molecule in ...
Identification and characterization of a heat-inducible Hsp70 gene from Sorghum bicolor which confers tolerance to thermal stress
(Springer, 2015)
This study describes the first detailed molecular
characterization of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) gene
from Sorghum bicolor, MN1618 designated as SbHsp70-1.
The full-length cDNA of SbHsp70-1 consists of 2524 bp ...
