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 ...
Proteomic identification and meta-analysis in salvia hispanica RNA-seq de novo assemblies
(2021)
While proteomics has demonstrated its value for model organisms and for organisms with mature genome sequence annotations, proteomics has been of less value in nonmodel organisms that are unaccompanied by genome sequence ...
Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using some selected medicinal plants from Southern Africa and their biological applications
(MPDI, 2021)
The application of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially that of silver, gold, cobalt, and
zinc as antimicrobial, anticancer, drug delivery, contrast, and bioimaging agents has transformed the
field of medicine. Their ...
Gene expression alterations and molecular analysis of CHEK1 in solid tumors
(MDPI, 2020)
Alterations in the Checkpoint kinase (CHEK1) gene, its regulation, and the possible clinical outcomes in human solid tumors have not been previously examined. Therefore, the present study was carried out to evaluate the ...
Draft genome sequence of the putative endophytic bacterium pantoea agglomerans r6, associated with lactuca serriola from South Africa
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021)
Here, we present the draft genome sequence (;4.7 Mb) of the endopyhtic bacterium Pantoea agglomerans strain R6, which was isolated from surface-sterilized roots of Lactuca serriola (prickly lettuce)
The macrophage response to mycobacterium tuberculosis and opportunities for autophagy inducing nanomedicines for Tuberculosis therapy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
The major causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), i.e., Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has developed mechanisms to evade host defense responses and persist within host cells for prolonged periods of time. Mtb is also ...
