Diagnosing emerging fungal threats: a one health perspective
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Emerging fungal pathogens are a growing threat to global health, ecosystems, food security, and the world economy. Over the last century, environmental change and globalized transport, twinned with the increasing application ... -
Enhancement of soybean tolerance to drought using Rhizobium species and mycorrhizal fungi
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Food security is seriously under threat in many developing tropical countries as agriculture is becoming unsustainable due to drought stress. There is therefore an urgent need for a sustainable means to accomplish food ... -
Genetic diversity and phylogeny of South African Meloidogyne populations using genotyping by sequencing
(Nature, 2018)Meloidogyne species cause great crop losses worldwide. Although genetic host plant resistance is an effective control strategy to minimize damage caused by Meloidogyne, some resistant genes are ineffective against virulent ... -
Genomic and drug target evaluation of 90 cardiovascular proteins in 30,931 individuals
(Springer Nature, 2020)Circulating proteins are vital in human health and disease and are frequently used as biomarkers for clinical decision-making or as targets for pharmacological intervention. Here, we map and replicate protein quantitative ... -
Genomic and metabolic investigation of an unknown inborn error of leucine metabolism mimicking MCC deficiency
(North-West University, 2011)This study revolves around a family in which 4 male members have metabolic profiles similar to that of atypical 3–methylcrotonyl–CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency, an inborn error of leucine catabolism. This profile consists ... -
Genomic exploration of Bacillus thuringiensis MORWBS1.1 - candidate biocontrol agent,predicts genes for biosynthesis of zwittermicin, 4,5-DOPA dioxygenase extradiol, and quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase
(American Phytopathological Society, 2021)Many strains fromBacillus thuringiensisare known for theirgenomic robustness and antimicrobial potentials. As a result, thequest for their biotechnological applications, especially in theagroindustry (e.g., as biopesticides), ... -
Microbial diversity, community structure and functional characteristics of sunflower rhizospheric soil
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Rhizosphere zones are ‘hubs’ for microbial diversity comprising of diverse microbiomes compared with the nearby bulk soils. Rhizospheric microorganisms play major roles in plant health, development and yield. The exploitation ...
