Characterisation of dark chilling effects on the functional longevity of soybean root nodules
(North-West University, 2012)A large proportion of the world’s nitrogen needs is derived from symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF), which contributes substantially to agricultural sustainability. The partnership between legumes and rhizobia result in the ... -
Diversity of non-crop plants and arthropods in soybean agro-ecosystems in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)Soybean is widely cultivated in the Grassland Biome of South Africa (>700 000 ha per annum). Yet the possible effects large-scale cultivation of soybean has on biodiversity in adjacent habitat is not fully understood. It ... -
The effects of fungal strains with biocontrol potential on the motility and reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) pose a global threat to grain crop production since it causes major yield losses which results in less food sources for animals and humans. Since classical nematicides are continually ... -
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 ... -
Exploitation and characterisation of resistance to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita in soybean
(2013)Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) is a major pest of soybean in South Africa and due to its high level of pathogenicity to the crop it is quintessential that research in this regard should receive priority. Root-knot ... -
Limitation of photosynthetic carbon metabolism in South African soybean genotypes in response to low night temperatures
(North-West University, 2008)Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a key source of protein for humans and animals, but is unfortunately chilling sensitive. A single episode of low night temperature (dark chilling) is sufficient to inhibit pod formation ... -
Molecular identification and functional characterization of a novel adenylyl cyclase from Glycine max
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The overall aim of this research was to identify and characterise a predicted adenylyl cyclase (AC) enzyme in Glycine max; accession number XP_003529590; gene ID Glyma.07G251000. To start with, a preliminary bioinformatic ...
