  • 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 ...
  • Stress-induced genome alterations in plants 
    Van der Vyver, Christell (University of Pretoria, 2006-11-27)
    Please read the abstract in the 00front part of this document
  • Transfer of genetic material between the chloroplast and nucleus : how is it related to stress in plants? 
    Cullis, C.A. (Christoper Ashley); Vorster, Barend Juan; Van der Vyver, Christell; Kunert, Karl J. (Oxford University Press, 2008)
    BACKGROUND: The presence of chloroplast-related DNA sequences in the nuclear genome is generally regarded as a relic of the process by which genes have been transferred from the chloroplast to the nucleus. The remaining ...
  • 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 ...
