  • Deleterious effects of plant cystatins against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus 
    Kiggundu, Andrew; Muchwezi, Josephine; Van der Vyver, Christell; Viljoen, Altus; Vorster, Barend Juan; Schluter, Urte; Kunert, Karl J.; Michaud, Dominique (Wiley, 2010-02)
    The general potential of plant cystatins for the development of insect-resistant transgenic plants still remains to be established given the natural ability of several insects to compensate for the loss of active cysteine ...
  • Effect of water-deficit stress on cotton plants expressing the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin 
    Martins, Celia Marilia; Beyene, Getu; Hofs, J.L.; Kruger, Kerstin; Van der Vyver, Christell; Schluter, Urte; Kunert, Karl J. (Blackwell, 2008)
    Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops require a high dosage of Bt toxin to delay development of insect resistance, in particular, when the refuge strategy is applied. This strategy is threatened by plant developmental and ...
  • Gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors help control plant height for improving lodging resistance in E. Tef (Eragrostis tef) 
    Gebre, Endale; Schluter, Urte; Hedden, Peter; Kunert, Karl J. (Taylor and Francis, 2012)
    Eragrostis tef, a tall stature and highly nutritious cereal grown in East Africa, has a serious lodging problem that reduces its productivity considerably. Certain plant-growth regulators are known to restrict growth ...
  • Proteolysis of recombinant proteins in bioengineered plant cells 
    Pillay, Priyen; Schluter, Urte; Van Wyk, Stefan; Kunert, Karl J.; Vorster, Barend Juan (Routledge, 2014-05)
    Plants are increasingly used as alternative expression hosts for the production of recombinant proteins offering many advantages including higher biomass and the ability to perform posttranslational modifications on ...
  • Review : The future of cystatin engineering 
    Van Wyk, Stefan George; Kunert, Karl J.; Cullis, C.A. (Christoper Ashley); Pillay, Priyen; Makgopa, Matome Eugene; Schluter, Urte; Vorster, Barend Juan (Elsevier, 2016-05)
    Plant cystatins are naturally occurring protease inhibitors that prevent proteolysis by papain-like cysteine proteases. Their protective action against environmental stresses has been relatively well characterised. Still, ...
  • Transformation of tef (Eragrostis tef) by Agrobacterium through immature embryo regeneration system for inducing semi-dwarfism 
    Gebre, Endale; Gugsa, Likyelesh; Schluter, Urte; Kunert, Karl J. (Elsevier, 2013-07)
    Successful application of genetic transformation for integration of a transgene is much dependent upon availability of an efficient in vitro plant regeneration procedure and detection of transgene insertion and expression. ...
  • Use of transgenic Oryzacystatin-I expressing plants enhances recombinant protein production 
    Pillay, Priyen; Kibido, Tsholofelo Reineth; Du Plessis, M.; Van der Vyver, Christell; Beyene, Getu; Vorster, Barend Juan; Kunert, Karl J.; Schluter, Urte (Springer, 2012-09-11)
    Plants are an effective and inexpensive host for the production of commercially interesting heterologous recombinant proteins. The Escherichia coli-derived glutathione reductase was transiently expressed as a recombinant ...
