Brown rot-type fungal decomposition of sorghum bagasse: variable success and mechanistic implications
Presley, Gerald N.; Ndimba, Bongani K.; Schilling, Jonathan S. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2018)Sweet sorghum is a promising crop for a warming, drying African climate, and basic information is lacking on conversion pathways for its lignocellulosic residues (bagasse). Brown rot wood-decomposer fungi use carbohydra ... -
A decade of plant proteomics and mass spectrometry: Translation of technical advancements to food security and safety issues
Agrawal, Ganesh Kumar; Sarkar, Abhijit; Righetti, Pier Giorgio; Ndimba, Bongani K. (Wiley, 2013)Tremendous progress in plant proteomics driven by mass spectrometry (MS) techniques has been made since 2000 when few proteomics reports were published and plant proteomics was in its infancy. These achievements include ... -
Identification and profiling of salinity stress-responsive proteins in Sorghum bicolor seedlings
Ngara, Rudo; Ndimba, Roya; Borch-Jensen, Jonas; Jensen, Ole Nørregaard; Ndimba, Bongani K. (Elsevier, 2012)Sorghum bicolor, a drought tolerant cereal crop, is not only an important food source in the semi arid/arid regions but also a potential model for studying and gaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms ... -
INPPO actions and recognition as a driving force for progress in plant proteomics: Change of guard, INPPO update, and upcoming activities
Agrawal, Ganesh Kumar; Job, Dominique; Kieselbach, Thomas; Ndimba, Bongani K. (Wiley, 2013)The International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO) is a non-profit organization whose members are scientists involved or interested in plant proteomics. Since the publication of the first INPPO highlights in 2012, ... -
Mapping and characterisation of the sorghum cell suspension culture secretome
Ngara, Rudo; Ndimba, Bongani K. (Academic Journals, 2011)Here we reported the first secretomic study of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), a naturally drought tolerant cereal crop. In this study, we used a gel-based proteomic approach in combination with mass spectrometry to separate ... -
Molecular adaptation mechanisms employed by ethanologenic bacteria in response to lignocellulose-derived inhibitory compounds
Ndimba, Bongani K.; Ibraheem, Omodele (Ivyspring, 2013)Current international interest in finding alternative sources of energy to the diminishing supplies of fossil fuels has encouraged research efforts in improving biofuel production technologies. In countries which lack ...
