Assessment of Brassica napus gene flow potential to wild relatives in northern South Africa
(2016)The Brassicaceae, distributed throughout South Africa, is a family in which hybridization may occur between cultivated species and its wild and weedy relatives. Hybridization with transgenic varieties could increase the ... -
The effect of ozone and drought on the photosynthetic performance of canola
(Elsevier, 2018)Canola plants were fumigated in open-top chambers with ozone (O3) (120 ppb) under well-watered (WW) and water-stressed (WS) conditions for 4 weeks. Non-fumigated plants were also studied to facilitate comparison between ... -
Growth performance, hematology, and meat quality characteristics of Mutton Merino lambs fed canola-based diets
(Springer, 2016)A 56-day feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the effect of feeding canola meal (CM) on growth performance, hematology, and meat quality parameters of lambs. Twenty lambs with an average body weight of 23 ± 2.64 kg ... -
Growth performance, meat quality, and haematological parametersinmutton merino lambs : effects of dietary replacement of soyabean meal with canola cake
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)The objective of this study was to determine growth performance, hematology, meat quality and sensory characteristics of lambs fed Canola (Brassica napus) cake as a replacement for soyabean meal (SBM). Nineteen lambs with ... -
Humic acid and enzymes inclusion in Canola-Based Broiler Diets : effects on physiological and meat quality parameters
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of potassium humate and Axtra XAP enzyme (Xylanase + Amylase + Protease) as dietary additives on growth performance, protein utilisation efficiency, blood parameters, ... -
Photosynthetic responses of canola and wheat to elevated levels of CO2, O3 and water deficit in open-top chambers
(MDPI, 2019)The effects of elevated CO2 (700 ppm) and O3 (80 ppb) alone and in combination on the photosynthetic efficiency of canola and wheat plants were investigated in open-top chambers (OTCs). The plants were fumigated for four ... -
Photosynthetic responses of canola and wheat to elevated levels of CO₂ and O₃ in open-top chambers
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) are increasing in the atmosphere. The effects of elevated CO2 (700 ppm), O3 (80 and 120 ppb) and the combination of these two gases on the photosynthetic performance ... -
The use of OJIP fluorescence transients to monitor the effect of elevated ozone on biomass of canola plants + Correction
(Springer, 2019)The effects of elevated ozone (O3) levels (80 ppb and 120 ppb) on photosynthetic efficiency and growth of canola plants were studied in open-top chambers. The chlorophyll a polyphasic fluorescence rise kinetics OJIP, ...
