Genetic analysis of maize streak virus isolates from Uganda reveals widespread distribution of a recombinant variant.

Author: Owor, Betty E ; Martin, Darren P ; Shepherd, Dionne N ; Edema, Richard ; Monjane, Ade´rito L ; Rybicki, Edward P ; Thomson, Jennifer A ; Vasani, Arvind Date: 2007 Maize streak virus (MSV) contributes significantly to the problem of extremely low African maize yields. Whilst a diverse range of MSV and MSV-like viruses are endemic in sub-Saharan Africa and neighbouring islands, only a single group of ... Read more
A novel stress-inducible antioxidant enzyme identified from the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa Baker.

Author: Mowla, Shaheen B ; Thomson, Jennifer A ; Farrant, Jill ; Mundree, Sagadevan G Date: 2002 A cDNA corresponding to 1-Cys peroxiredoxin, an evolutionarily conserved thiol-specific antioxidant enzyme, was isolated from Xerophyta viscosa Baker, a resurrection plant indigenous to Southern Africa and belonging to the family Velloziaceae. ...

Restoration of native folding of single-stranded DNA sequences through reverse mutations: an indication of a new epigenetic mechanism

Author: Shepherd, Dionne N ; Martin, Darren P ; Varsani, Arvind ; Thomson, Jennifer A ; Rybicki, Edward P ; Klump, Horst H Date: 2006 We used in vivo (biological), in silico (computational structure prediction), and in vitro (model sequence folding) analyses of singlestranded DNA sequences to show that nucleic acid folding conservation is the selective principle behind a ...

Successful application of FTA Classic Card technology and use of bacteriophage phi29 DNA polymerase for large-scale field sampling and cloning of complete maize streak virus genomes

Author: Owor, Betty E ; Shepherd, Dionne N ; Taylor, Nigel J ; Edema, Richard ; Monjane, Aderito L ; Thomson, Jennifer A ; Martin, Darren P ; Varsani, Arvind Date: 2007 Leaf samples from 155 maize streak virus (MSV)-infected maize plants were collected from 155 farmers’ fields in 23 districts in Uganda in May/June 2005 by leaf-pressing infected samples onto FTA® Classic Cards. Viral DNA was successfully ... Read more c b n d
