Both species are sensitive to cycloheximide, typical of Ceratocystis s. s. In this study, RFLP analyses were done on the rRNA operon regions of the type species of Ceratocystis, Ophiostoma and Ceratocystiopsis as well as C. proteae and ...

Background: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive disorder with considerable phenotypic variability, mainly affects the eyes, skin and cardiovascular system, characterised by dystrophic mineralization of connective tissues. It is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 (ATP binding cassette family C member 6) gene, which encodes MRP6 (multidrug resistance-associated protein 6). Objective: To investigate the mutation spectrum of ABCC6 and possible genotype–phenotype correlations. Methods: Mutation data ...

During the preceding two decades - during the sixties and seventies of the nineteenth century - the South African Press has developed into a powerful organ of public and political opinion. In the turbulent political climate prevalent at that time, the language resorted to in reports on speeches and in leading articles was very severe compared to what we are used to today. The result was that editors were frequently involved in libel actions and they had to cope with threats and intimidation. This state ...
