The plant ecology of seasonally flooded areas of the Pongolo River Floodplain, with particular reference to Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.
(1982)
The impounding of the waters of the Pongolo river, upstream of its
floodplain on the Mocambique coastal plain, may adversely affect the
functioning of the floodplain system. A multidisciplinary study of the
functioning ...
The regulation of phytoplankton productivity in a shallow, turbid, oligotrophic lake.
(1988)
Aspects of the physical and chemical environment likely to influence
phytoplankton productivity were investigated in Lake Midmar, a shallow
(mean depth 11.4m), oligotrophic impoundment, over a three year period
to ...
Seedling establishment of Themeda triandra Forssk. in the montane grasslands of Natal.
(1994)
Soil erosion and vegetation destruction have reached serious proportions in disturbed
areas of the montane grasslands of the Natal Drakensberg. Little is known of the
inherent ability of indigenous grasses to produce ...

Growth characteristics of three Eucalyptus clonal hybrids in response to drought stress : the underlying physiology.
(2012)
Previous research by Drew et al. (2009) on a SAPPI dendrometer trial, in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, yielded growth results for two Eucalyptus grandis clones (termed E. grandis x urophylla (GU) and E. grandis x ...
Towards developing effective decontamination procedures for in vitro culture of embryonic axes excised from recalcitrant seeds.
(2014-05-27)
Control of seed-associated micro-organisms is vital in reducing losses of plants of economic
importance. Recalcitrant seeds being metabolically active and able to be stored only under conditions
of high relative humidity ...
Establishing genetic diversity of Rwanda highland banana using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers.
(2006)
The characterization of the banana germplasm collection from Rubona - Rwanda was
investigated using morphological and cytological characteristics of the genomic groups.
Genetic diversity was assessed using Random Amplified ...
The secretory apparatus of Ceratotheca triloba (Pedaliaceae) : morphology and chemical composition of the secretion.
(2012)
Ceratotheca triloba (Bernh.) E. Mey. ex Hook. f., commonly known as the wild foxglove, is a fast growing annual that is indigenous to southern Africa. The surface of the plant is covered with fine, hair-like trichomes, ...
In vitro generation of somaclonal variant plants of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) for tolerance to toxins produced by Fusarium sacchari.
(2012)
The fungus Fusarium sacchari (Butler) Gams causes stem rot in sugarcane especially in association with the stem borer Eldana saccharina Walker. Sugarcane plants tolerant to F. sacchari PNG40 were obtained by chemical ...
