(Wiley, 2023-02)The symbioses between plants of the Rubiaceae and Primulaceae families with Burkholderia bacteria represent unique and intimate plant–bacterial relationships. Many of these interactions have been identified through ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2020-05-13)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the causative agent of several life-threatening human infections. Like many other pathogens, P. aeruginosa exhibits quorum sensing (QS) controlled virulence factors such as biofilm during disease ...
-
(Springer, 2018-07)Root rot of citrus trees caused by Phytophthora nicotianae is responsible for severe economic losses in citriculture. Use of resistant rootstocks is an effective method of managing this problem, however, breeding and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-12)Mining activities contribute greatly to economic growth and development in South Africa. However, post-mining soils have limited land-use potential due to low fertility, deficiency in organic matter content and poor physical, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-10)The effect of thyme oil (96 μL L−1) vapours on the expression of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and lipoxygenase (LOX) genes, and control of anthracnose was investigated in naturally infected ‘Hass’ and ‘Ryan’ avocado ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-11)Helichrysum umbraculigerum Less. has been reported to be a prolific producer of phytocannabinoids from the alkyl-, aralkyl-, normal-, and abnormal types. Investigation of an acetone extract from the aerial parts of the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-09)While our knowledge of species distributions and diversity in the terrestrial biosphere has increased sharply over the last decades, we lack equivalent knowledge of the marine world. Here, we use the phylogenetic tree of ...
-
(Wiley Open Access, 2017)Will the ongoing extinction crisis cause a severe loss of evolutionary information accumulated over millions of years on the tree of life? This question has been largely explored, particularly for vertebrates and ...
-
(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2017-04-25)Enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney) is a common bacterial disease of sheep caused by Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon toxin. It has mortality rates of up to 30% in non-vaccinated animals. Current vaccines from whole cell ...
-
(Cactus and Succulent Society of America, 2016)The natural hybrid between Aloe arborescens Mill. and A. chortolirioides A.Berger var. chortolirioides (Asphodelaceae) is here formally described as a nothospecies, A. ×inopinata Gideon F.Sm., N.R.Crouch & Oosth. The ...
-
(NRC Research Press, 2017-04)Although a standard DNA barcode has been identified for plants, it does not always provide species-level specimen identifications for investigating important ecological questions. In this study, we assessed the species-level ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Information regarding the filamentous fungi and yeast microbiota on pear surfaces is limited when compared to other fruits such as grapes and apples. The effect of commercial postharvest practices on pear fruit surface ...
-
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2016-09)Foodborne disease outbreaks involving fresh produce have increased in recent years. The risk of infection from contaminated food is worsened by the increased prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains. This study evaluated ...
-
(Wiley, 2017-02)We used a systems genetics approach to elucidate molecular mechanisms of maize responses to gray leaf spot (GLS) disease, caused by Cercospora zeina, a threat to maize production globally. Expression analysis of earleaf ...
-
(National Academy of Sciences, 2016-09)Savannas first began to spread across Africa during the Miocene. A major hypothesis for explaining this vegetation change is the increase in C4 grasses, promoting fire. We investigated whether mammals could also have ...

Taxonomic notes on Acanthopsis Harv. (Acanthaceae, tribe Acantheae) : the group with trifid bracts (Magnolia Press, 2017-02-10)In the southern African genus Acanthopsis, the morphology of the bracts is taxonomically useful at the species level. This contribution focuses on the taxonomy and conservation status of those members of the genus ...
-
(The Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva (CJBG), 2013-07-12)August Wulfhorst (1861-1936), a German missionary attached to the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft, collected material in omupanda (Amboland, Uukuanyama), which is located in present-day Angola. In the past, botanical ...
-
(Springer, 2017-10)The role of phenolics in plant tolerance to pathogen infection is well documented. The objective of the present preliminary investigation was to study phenolic metabolites involved in the tolerance or susceptibility of ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-03)A new antifungal eudesmanolide glycoside 11,13-dihydro-3-O-(β-digitoxopyranose)-7α- hydroxy eudasman-6,12-olide (2) in addition to known compounds 1 and 3, has been isolated from Sphaeranthus indicus Linn. Its structure ...
-
(Wiley, 2011-04)Ralstonia solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt, has been reported from Eucalyptus plantations in at least three countries in Africa. The lack of genomics resources in Eucalyptus species led us to develop and ...
