Investigating evidence for UV-B induced mutagenesis in dimorphotheca sinuata using the 18S rDNA and rbcL gene sequences
(American-Eurasian Network for Scientific Information. http://www.aensi.org/aeb_online.html, 2008)The nuclear 18S rDNA and chloroplast encoded rbcL gene sequences were used to investigate the evidence of residual UV-B induced mutagenesis in Dimorphotheca sinuata plants. The probes were generated by the polymerase chain ... -
Potential effects of prolonged ultraviolet radiation exposure in plants: chloroplast DNA analysis
(IDOSI Publications, http://idosi.org/, 2007)The present study on the Namaqualand daisy, Dimorphotheca sinuata sought to address two main questions: - first whether the natural populations show any evidence of variation in the chloroplast genome, and secondly if the ... -
Residual effects of prolonged UV-B exposure on photosynthetic gene expression
(Academic Journals, www.academicjournals.org, 2010-08-18)Residual long-term effects of increased UV-B radiation were investigated in an indigenous plant species, Dimorphotheca sinuata, by analysing photosynthetic gene expression. Reductions were observed in the amount of the ...
