Nodulation, leaf harvesting intensity and interval of the black-eyed bean (BEB) (Vigna unguiculata L. Walpers) cowpea type at the University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe
(Academic Journals, 2012)
A glasshouse pot experiment was carried out at the University of Zimbabwe, Crop Science Department in 2006 to 2007 rainy season to determine the effect of leaf harvesting intensity and interval on cowpea biological nitrogen ...
Mapping and characterisation of the sorghum cell suspension culture secretome
(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 ...
Nitric oxide affects salt-induced changes in free amino acid levels in maize
(Elsevier, 2013)
It was assumed that salt-induced redox changes affect amino acid metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.),
and
this influence may be modified by NO. The applied NaCl treatment reduced the fresh weight of shoots
and roots. This ...
Capacity to control oxidative stress-induced caspase-like activity determines the level of tolerance to salt stress in two contrasting maize genotypes
(Springer, 2013)
The response of two maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes, named GR (salt-tolerant) and SK (salt-sensitive), to salt stress (150 mM NaCl) was investigated under controlled environmental growth conditions. Genotype SK experienced ...
The use of ultraviolet radiation as a non-thermal treatment for the inactivation of alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores in water, wash water from a fruit processing plant and grape juice concentrate
(CUT Free State, 2013)
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a non-pathogenic, spore-forming bacterium
that can survive the commercial pasteurisation processes commonly used
during fruit juice production. Surviving bacterial endospores germinate, ...
Identification and profiling of salinity stress-responsive proteins in Sorghum bicolor seedlings
(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 ...
A decade of plant proteomics and mass spectrometry: Translation of technical advancements to food security and safety issues
(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 ...
Meat trade: need for international standardization?
(Elsevier, 2013)
Extensive substitution and undeclared species have been recently detected in meat products in South
Africa, Europe and Asia. Here we review the methodologies utilized in the identification of species in red
meat products ...
Large Scale Screening of Southern African Plant Extracts for the Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Microtitre-Plate Method
(Molecules, 2016-11)
The preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) involves a variety of chemical and physical methods. These methods use toxic and environmentally harmful chemicals. Consequently, the synthesis of AuNPs using green chemistry ...
The air quality perceptions of the residents of Bayview, Mossel Bay
(NACA, 2014)
Background: In developing countries, it often occurs that little attention is given to air pollution emissions due to a lack of proper
town planning, household combustion processes, energy production and the continuous ...
