Somatic embryogenesis of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.): A comparison of four South African genotypes
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: C. M.S. Mienie --- , Republic of South Africa R.E. Terblanche --- , Republic of South AfricaGenetic engineering is an important tool which can be used together with conventional breeding methods in transferring certain economically important traits into cultivated varieties of almost any crop species. One of the methods for gene transfer is the particle bombardment... -
Comparative embryogenesis of Australian and South African viviparous clinid fishes (Blennioidei, Teleostei)
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: L Fishelson --- Department of Zoology, George S Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Israel O Gon --- , South AfricaThe study follows the embryogenesis of 16 species of viviparous clinid fishes (Clinidae, Teleostei), from the Cape south coast of South Africa and from Australia, with comparative remarks on the development of juveniles in oviparous species. The sperm intromitted into... -
Ovarian activity and early embryonic development in the rusty bat, Pipistrellus rusticus
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: M. van der Merwe --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa T. Mostert --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South AfricaThe reproductive pattern of the female rusty bat, Pipistrellus rusticus, was investigated by means of a histological examination of the ovarian follicles as well as early embryonic development. Bats were collected from two localities in Limpopo Province. Female rusty bats... -
Using synergistic exogenous phytohormones to enhance somatic embryogenesis from leaf explants of a Eucalyptus grandis clone
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Muhammad Nakhooda --- Department of Biotechnology and Consumer Sciences, South Africa Eshani Mandiri --- School of Life Sciences, South AfricaSomatic embryogenesis (SE) in Eucalyptus spp. has been limited to germinated seeds, flowers, lignotubers or zygotic embryos. The low yield of somatic embryos from leaf explants has hampered progress, even though leaves offer a more viable source of clonal explants...
