Case study of effect of glyphosate application on plant-parasitic nematodes associated with a soybean-maize rotation system in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Information on the effect of the herbicide glyphosate on nematodes in the field is limited and contradictory. A small field experiment was conducted during two consecutive summer-growing seasons to investigate the response ... -
Determination of the physiological function of a Zea mays pentatricopeptide repeat protein through cultural studies
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Farming of crop plants for food and feed purposes makes agriculture a vital system that sustains both human beings and animals in general. Plants are often affected by various biotic and abiotic stress factors, leading ... -
Effect of trifluoroacetate, a persistent degradation product of fluorinated hydrocarrbons, on Phaseolus vulgaris and Zea mays
(Elsevier, 2009)The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of the pollutant, trifluoroacetate (TFA), on growth and photosynthesis of Phaseolus vulgaris (C3) and Zea mays (C4) in order to elucidate the physiological and biochemical ... -
Levels of DNA methylation and transcript accumulation in leaves of transgenic maize varieties
(Springer, 2016)Background: Prior to their release in the environment, transgenic crops are examined for their health and environ‑ mental safety. In addition, transgene expression needs to be consistent in order to express the introduced ... -
Physiological, biochemical and molecular characterization of Zea mays proteins in response to salt stress
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Maize (Zea mays) is an important cereal crop positioned third world-wide after wheat and rice due to its multiple uses such as in human diets. However, it is highly sensitive to salt stress and widely cultivated under a ... -
Preference of Bt‐resistant and susceptible Busseola fusca moths and larvae for Bt and non‐Bt maize
(Wiley, 2019)The sustainability of genetically engineered insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) maize, Zea mays L. (Poaceae), is threatened by the evolution of resistance by target pest species. Several Lepidoptera species ...
