The role of post translational modifications in the regulation of binding of linker histone Hho1 to chromatin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of the Free State, 2015-02)
The eukaryotic genome is functionally organized into a highly ordered nucleoprotein
structure, chromatin. Apart from the four nucleosomal core histones, the linker histone is
pivotal to fluidity and compaction of chromatin. ...
Direct synthesis of pterocarpans via aldol condensation
(University of the Free State, 2000-05)
English: Pterocarpans, representing the second largest group of natural isoflavonoids, have
received considerable interest on account of their medicinal properties over the last few
years. These phytoalexins not only ...

Integrated modelling for sustainable management of salinity in the lower Vaal and Riet River irrigation areas
(University of the Free State, 2007-05)
English: Salinisation of irrigation schemes has become a problem in various schemes in South Africa. One such area that experiences salinisation problems selected for this research is the Lower Vaal and Lower Riet irrigation ...
Mutation breeding for in planta modification of amylose starch in cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz)
(University of the Free State, 2010-11)
Cassava provides more dietary energy per unit area than any staple crop but native cassava starch has limited food and industrial applications. Different transgenic biotechnology approaches and ex situ physical and chemical ...
Breeding potential of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Mozambique
(University of the Free State, 2008-05)
English: This study represents the first comprehensive genetic study based on local cultivars of Mozambique. Five cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) parents were crossed in a full diallel. The parents and F1 progeny were ...

(University of the Free State, 2013-01)
English: One reason why groundwater, so often constitutes the main source of drinking water in many cities and towns around the world, is because it is frequently present in sufficient quantities at the point of demand. ...
Comparison of field and laboratory measured hydraulic properties of selected diagnostic soil horizons
(University of the Free State, 2009-11)
An adequate characterization of soil hydraulic properties is a necessary solution for agriculturally and environmentally oriented problems such as irrigation, drainage, runoff and pollutants movement. The three approaches ...
Luminescent properties of Y2SiO5:Ce thin films
(University of the Free State, 2010-05)
The luminescent properties of yttrium silicate doped with cerium (Y2SiO5:Ce) phosphor thin films were investigated. A detailed investigation (cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL) and Gaussian peak fits) was ...
