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 ...
Functional prediction of candidate micrornas for CRC management using in silico approach
(MDPI, 2019)
Approximately 30–50% of malignant growths can be prevented by avoiding risk factors
and implementing evidence-based strategies. Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounted for the second most
common cancer and the third most common ...
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 ...
Characterization and expression analysis of heme oxygenase genes from sorghum bicolor
(SAGE Publications, 2019)
Heme oxygenases (HOs) have a major role in phytochrome chromophore biosynthesis, and chromophores in turn have antioxidant
properties. Plant heme oxygenases are divided into the HO1 sub-family comprising HO1, HO3, and ...
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 ...
