(University of Pretoria, 2011-01-09)Please read the abstract in the dissertation
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011-08-06)DNA micro-array technology is a new and powerful technology that could substantially increase the speed of forest tree breeding programmes. This thesis represents a compilation of investigations that focus on the exploitation ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011)Genetic engineering of superior wood properties and exploiting natural genetic variation found within commercially important trees, such as Eucalyptus spp., promise to increase cellulose biomass production. It is therefore ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2008-11-27)Wood is one of the most important products of world trade, due to its countless uses as a source of timber, fibre, and renewable energy. In addition to its economic importance, the formation of wood represents a global ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2012-08-14)Eucalyptus species form an integral part of the South African forestry industry and their uses extend from paper and pulp production to the synthesis of essential oils which are used in various cosmetic products. Throughout ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013-09)The globally emerging bioeconomy demands rapid advancement in the sustainable production and utilization of bio-based raw materials for a multitude of downstream applications, particularly in the areas of food, health and ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)Wood formation is heavily exploited for the manufacturing of pulp, paper, sustainable biomaterials and, potentially, biofuels. Eucalyptus is a favourable fast-growing, short rotation plantation crop grown over millions of ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2009-07-10)Cellulose is one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth and is an important commodity for industries such as the pulp and paper industry. Cellulose is deposited into the plant cell walls by a complex of membrane bound ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2008-08-05)Eucalyptus trees are an important source of wood and fibre. The wood (secondary xylem) of this genus is widely used for pulp and papermaking. However, our understanding of the mechanisms which control the wood formation ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2003)Coniothyrium zuluense is the causal agent of a serious Eucalyptus stem canker disease in South Africa (Wingfield et al., 1997). Eucalypts are the most important hardwood plantations in the world, and in South Africa these ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011)Sucrose is the major transported photoassimilate in plants and is degraded concurrently by two enzymes: invertases and sucrose synthase. Sucrose synthase catalyzes the reversible conversion of UDP and sucrose to form ...
