  • Response of radicle cells of fungicide treated and untreated maize seed subjected to stress conditions 
    Aveling, T.A.S. (Terry); Govender, V.; Kritzinger, Quenton; Blanco, R. (International Society for Horticultural Science, 2018-06)
    Ultrastructural changes within cells are influenced by stress such as increased temperature due to improper storage, lack of oxygen and blockage in pathways responsible for water uptake. The objective of this study was to ...
  • Seed-borne Fusarium pathogens in agricultural crops 
    Blanco, R.; Aveling, T.A.S. (Terry) (International Society for Horticultural Science, 2018-06)
    Diseases caused by Fusarium spp. occur worldwide throughout all production areas of edible and ornamental plants as well as tree plantations. Fusarium spp. cause yield losses of up to 80% in both field- and greenhouse-grown ...
