Brassicacea-based management strategies as an alternative to combat nematode pests: a synopsis
(Elsevier, 2016)Nematode pests parasitise and cause substantial crop yield and quality losses to a wide range of crops worldwide. To minimize such damage, the exploitation and development of alternative nematode control strategies are ... -
Efficacy of Bt Maize for control of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in South Africa
(Oxford Univ Press, 2019)Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is an invasive pest species that threatens maize production by small holder farmers in Africa. Bt maize that express Cry proteins have been used effectively for control of this pest in ... -
Enhanced corticospinal excitability and volitional drive in response to shortening and lengthening strength training and changes following detraining
(Frontiers Media, 2017)There is a limited understanding of the neurological adaptations responsible for changes in strength following shortening and lengthening resistance training and subsequent detraining. The aim of the study was to investigate ... -
Evaluation of resistance and tolerance of rice genotypes from crosses of Oryza glaberrima and O. sativa to the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola
(Springer, 2018)Resistance and tolerance to Meloidogyne graminicola infection of introgressed rice genotypes derived from crosses between M. graminicola-resistant Oryza glaberrima genotype CG14 and -susceptible O. sativa genotype IR64 ... -
Gut microbiota of Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(Springer, 2016)Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a stemborer pest that attacks maize (Zea mays) throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Genetically modified maize has been shown to be effective against B. fusca. However, resistance ... -
Host response of Oryza glaberrima and O. sativa rice genotypes to the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola in a hydroponic system under growth chamber
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)The host response of 25 rice genotypes belonging to Oryza glaberrima and Oryza sativa to Meloidogyne graminicola infection was examined in a hydroponic system. The M. graminicola can build up high population densities in ... -
Host response of rice genotypes from crosses of high-yielding and drought-tolerant Oryza sativa advanced breeding lines to the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The host response to Meloidogyne graminicola infection of 30 advanced breeding lines developed from crosses between high-yielding and drought-tolerant Oryza sativa genotypes was evaluated in outdoor raised beds. None of ... -
An overview of mechanisms of Cry toxin resistance in Lepidopteran insects
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)Arthropods have the capacity to evolve resistance to insecticides and insecticidal traits in genetically modified crops. Resistance development among Lepidoptera is a common phenomenon, and a repertoire of resistance ... -
Prevalence and antibiotic resistance of staphylococcus aureus isolated from beef carcasses at Abattoirs in North West Province
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)Staphylococcus aureus is notorious for causing human diseases, and is primarily associated with the consumption of contaminated meat and meat products. The aim of this paper was to determine the prevalence and the ... -
Reproduction and damage potential of five geographical Ditylenchus africanus populations on peanut
(Society of Nematologists, 2016)Ditylenchus africanus affects peanut quality, which leads to downgrading of consignments and economic losses for producers. This nematode is difficult to control and host-plant resistance may be the most effective way to ...
