Characterization of pathotypes among isolates of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis in Colombia

Cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) is a destructive disease occurring in most cassava growing-areas. Although Colombian isolates of Xam differ in DNA polymorphism and pathogenicity, no suitable host differentials have been identified to demonstrate physiological specialization. A set of 26 Xam isolates from three edaphoclimatic zones (ECZs) in Colombia was selected for inoculation on a set of 17 potential cassava differentials. Leaf inoculation and stem puncture were used in order to detect possible specific interactions between cultivars and isolates. Cultivar × isolate interaction was highly significant (P < 0·001) after stem inoculation, but not after leaf inoculation. The stem inoculation technique was selected as a method for resistance screening of cassava cultivars for bacterial blight resistance. A highly significant interaction was also detected when cultivar behaviour was rated as area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) after stem inoculation. Different pathotypes were defined among the 26 isolates and differential cultivars were proposed to define the pathotypic composition of Xam populations in three ECZs in Colombia. The results should help to improve selection of sources of resistance to cassava bacterial blight.
The First Chemical Synthesis of UDP[6-3H]-α-D-galactofuranose

Galactofuranose metabolism is a good target for the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of some microbial infections. This is a valid objective because galactofuranose is absent in mammals. Two enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of molecules containing galactofuranose: a mutase, which catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-Galp and UDP-Galf, and D-galactofuranosyltransferases. The mechanism of action of the mutase and its inhibition is currently being investigated, whereas studies on the galactofuranosyltransferases have been hampered by the lack of a labeled galactofuranose nucleotide. In the present work we describe the chemical synthesis of UDP-α-D-[6-3H]Galf and we prove its effectiveness for incorporation of radioactive galactofuranose into a natural acceptor. This is the first report on the chemical synthesis of a labeled donor of galactofuranose with the potential for studying the galactofuranosyltransferases independently from the UDP-Galp mutase.

Translocation of 13C-Photosynthates among 2-Year-Old Branches during the Rapid Growth Stage of Cherry, Pear, Apple and Persimmon Fruit

The purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion of photosynthates translocated from a 2-year-old branch to adjacent branches within a 3-year-old branch on a mature tree during the rapid growth stage of cherry, pear, apple and persimmon fruit. Eight 3-year-old branches of various sizes and compositions of their internal organs were combined at random with two light conditions and two positions (basal or terminal) of the branch fed with 13CO2 on each cultivar. The treated branches were given six pulses of 13CO2 within a chamber for two days. The proportion of total 13C translocated from the treated branch to adjacent branches within a 3-year-old branch unit was recorded 72 hr after the first pulse application (about 44 hr after the sixth one). The proportion (%) of total 13C exported from the treated units varied ; 2.5 to 27% in the cherry ; 5 to 29% in the pear ; 0.5 to 16% in the apple, and 0 to 31% in the persimmon. Positive correlations existed between the proportion (%) of 13C translocated to ward the individual 2-year-old branch (PT2B) and the number of fruits on the same branch under natural light condition in all species. The same was found on all species except the apple when basal branches were treated. No correlation was found between PT2B and the number of fruits on the same branch when 1) same branches were shaded and 2) terminal branches were treated in most species, whereas a positive, high correlation existed between PT2B and the proportion of 13C translocated to fruits on the same branch (PTF) in the cherry, the pear and the apple. A similar situation was found between PT2B and the proportion of 13C translocated to leaves on the same branch in apple and persimmon. No correlation was found between the PT2B and the PTF in the persimmon.
Properties of the Colostrum of the Dairy Cow. VIII. Digestibility of Colostrum and Milk by Calves during the Early Postnatal Days of Life

Summary Studies were made of the apparent digestibility of nutrients in the natural food of new-born calves, colostrum, and early milk, when these products were fed in the normal sequence from birth to 17 days of age. The feeding and the feces collection were divided into four trial periods, days 1–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 14–17, after birth of the calf. Average apparent digestion of dry matter, carbohydrate, ether extract, and ash at each of the periods was 90 to 99 per cent. The apparent digestion of protein, however, was less than 90 per cent in periods II and III. Average apparent absorption of vitamin A was 81 to 95 per cent during the four periods, whereas apparent absorption of carotenoids was only 38 to 65 per cent.
Induced-feeding bioassays for detection of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal activity against Epilachna paenulata (Coleoptera).

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer e testar o bioensaio de alimentacao induzida para a determinacao da atividade inseticida de Bacillus thuringiensis contra larvas de Epilachna paenulata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). As larvas foram induzidas a ingerir concentracoes elevadas de suspensoes esporo-cristal de 7 cepas exoticas e 30 argentinas de B. thuringiensis. A maioria das cepas nao apresentou toxicidade a larvas de E. paenulata, com mortalidade inferior a 30%. O bioensaio de alimentacao induzida se mostrou efetivo, e pode ser usado para identificar cepas que produzam combinacoes adequadas de proteinas Cry, necessarias para o controle de pragas.
Comparative molecular and cytogenetic methods can clarify meiotic incongruities in Avena allopolyploid hybrids

Avena longiglumis is a diploid species that has been proposed as the A-genome donor of allopolyploid oats. In order to clarify its participation in the evolution of oats, a triploid A. magna × A. longiglumis hybrid was synthesized and studied, via a concurrent combination of cytogenetic and molecular techniques. The analysis of pollen mother cells revealed that synapsis percentage and chromosome chiasmata per cell were low; still they were the highest recorded among the diploid species used as pollinators of AC-genome tetraploids. In addition, genomic in situ hybridization revealed extensive chromosomal translocations among the allopolyploids that may have contributed to the low chromosomal affinity. Furthermore, amplified fragment length polymorphisms revealed the extensive genomic modifications that followed the interspecific hybridization, depicted mainly as the loss of parental bands (51.29%) and the creation of novel bands in the progeny (15.73%). As a result, the combination of cytogenetic and molecular techniques can elucidate meiotic incongruities that can make the unraveling of oat evolution challenging.
A modified inverter topology for fault-tolerant direct torque control induction motor drive

ABSTRACT A modified fault-tolerant voltage source inverter-fed induction motor drive to maintain normal operation during open-circuit or short-circuit of power devices is proposed. The proposed inverter topology consists of a single capacitor at dc-link to eliminate the voltage-balancing issue in conventional fault-tolerant topology and a boost converter at the front end of inverter to operate the drive in full-rated condition during post-fault operation. Current control technique for boost converter and direct torque control for induction motor drive is implemented. The proposed topology reduces the stator current THD, torque and stator flux ripple when compared with the conventional fault-tolerant topology. Analysis of the proposed converter topology, modelling, simulation and experimental results are presented and also compared with the conventional fault-tolerant topology to highlight the eminence of the proposed scheme.
Chromatographic Profiles of Umami Fractions from Indonesian Commercial Salty Soy Sauce

Salty soy sauce subjected in this study is a variety of commercial soy products in Indonesia. Chromatographic profiles linked to taste dilution analysis of the soy sauce were analyzed by Sephadex G-15 gel filtration chromatography followed by RP-HPLC. The results showed that there were 4 umami fractions (Fractions I − IV) obtained by Sephadex G-15 separation. Chromatographic profiles at 254 nm could show the differentiation of the four fractions and then their RP-HPLC profiles were proven to be different from each other. Fraction III which contained 65% of the soy sauce dry matters, had the highest umami intensity with umami TD factor of 256, meanwhile, this fraction was tasted salty due to the salt contained in the soy sauce. Fraction III was dominated by the later peaks in the RP-HPLC chromatogram, which was more hydrophobic. The hydrophobic components were commonly tasted bitter, perhaps in the commercial salty soy sauce, the taste interaction between the umami and bitter components might have occurred.
Fast-growing bacteria from nodules of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Dakora, F.D. & Vincent, J.M. 1984. Fast-growing bacteria from nodules of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ) Journal of Applied Bacteriology56, 327–330. First plating from nodules of cowpea frequently yielded fast-growing large colonies, either apparently uniform or associated with small colony forms typical of the expected slow-grower (Bradyrhizobium). Most cultures from single large colonies nodulated both cowpea and siratro (Macroptilium atropurpureum), but all such nodules revealed Bradyrhizobium alone or associated with a fast-growing form. Six of nine plants inoculated with a mixed inoculum of slow and fast forms had nodules occupied by both although in no case was the fast-grower able to secure solo invasion. Most of the fast-growing forms shared some internal antigens with Rhizo-biurn meliloti and/or R. trifolii; none reacted with antiserum to Bradyrhizobium CB 756.
Composition of protozoan communities at two sites in the coastal zone of the southern Baltic Sea

Protozoan communities were studied in the coastal zone of the southern Baltic Sea. Stable environmental conditions and typical, bimodal seasonal changes in the protozoan biomass were observed at the sampling site in Sopot (2003–2004). At the sampling site in Ustka (2007–2008), strong benthic resuspension and irregular impacts of fresh water resulted in atypical seasonal changes in the protozoan biomass with a summer peak only. The mean annual biomass had similar values at both sites: 43.2 μg C dm−3 in Sopot and 38.6 μg C dm−3 in Ustka. The protozoan community in Sopot was dominated by ciliates (48% of the biomass), whereas in Ustka — by heterotrophic nanoflagellates (53%).
Enhancement of Grazing Gastropod Populations as a Coral Reef Restoration Tool: Predation Effects and Related Applied Implications

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the gastropod grazer Trochus niloticus in controlling epilithic algae and enhancing coral recruitment on artificial substrata on coral reefs where the biomass of herbivorous fishes was low due to heavy fishing pressure. Hatchery‐reared, subadult trochus were stocked onto pallet balls (small artificial reefs composed of concrete and limestone aggregate) at a density of approximately four individuals per square meter (external surface area). This density was re‐established with releases of new trochus each month for 6 months. At the end of the experiment, there were no significant differences in algal biomass, cover and community composition, or the density of coral recruits on substrata with and without trochus. High monthly attrition of stocked trochus on the pallet balls, apparently due mainly to predation by octopus, did not allow the evaluation of the efficiency of the trochus enhancement, at the desired density, as a restoration tool. However, at the lower trochus densities (circa 1 m−2), which occurred as a result of predation in this study, no apparent enhancement of algal grazing or coral recruitment were observed. The surprisingly high predation of stocked trochus in a heavily fished and gleaned reef site stresses the importance of understanding all the factors affecting the survival of stocked animals. To help mitigate predation of trochus, artificial habitat with refuge spaces that allow the grazers to escape predation could be provided and individuals of a larger size could be released.
THE APPEARANCE OF GYMNOSPERMOUS STRUCTURE

During Devonian time, as diversification of psilophytes, lycopsids, sphenopsids and ferns was taking place and these groups were evolving into clearly definable taxa, another major group, the progymnosperms (Beck, 1960u, b, 1962a), was also becoming established as a dominant element of the flora. This group first becomes clearly recognizable in Middle Devonian strata. By Upper Devonian time it had acquired many of the important characteristics of gymnosperms. The progymnosperms are of great significance because they seem to be the immediate ancestors of seed plants (Beck, 1960b, 1962a, 1964a, 1966; Meeuse, 1963; Banks, 1968). In this paper I shall consider the appearance, primarily within this group of plants, of three major aspects of gymnospermous vegetative structure: the secondary wood, the leaf, and the primary vascular system.
Evaluation of Irrigation Quality of Groundwater in Wamba Sheet 210, North Central Nigeria

An evaluation of irrigation quality of groundwater from shallow aquifers within Wamba Sheet 210 in Nasarawa State, North Central Nigeria was carried out. The area is located between Latitudes 8°30’N and 9°00’N, and Longitudes 8°30’E and 9°00’E, covering about 3,025 Km 2 . It is underlain by rocks belonging to the Basement Complex, the Younger Granites, and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The results of field tests and laboratory analysis were used in assessing the suitability of groundwater found in the area for irrigation. Values obtained for Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Soluble Sodium Percentage (SSP), Magnesium Adsorption Ratio (MAR) and Kellys Ratio (KR) were 0.97 3.43, 8.18 81.76%, 8.03 80.22 and 0.04 3.43 respectively. These indices are largely within the safe limits for irrigation with very little likelihood that salinity hazards will develop.
Modeling of Vanished Historic Mining Landscape Features as a Part of Digital Cultural Heritage and Possibilities of Its Use in Mining Tourism (Case Study: Gelnica Town, Slovakia)

The study provides a methodology for 3D model processing of historic mining landscape, and its features as mining digital cultural heritage with the possibility of using new visualization means in mining tourism. Historic mining landscapes around the towns of Gelnica (eastern Slovakia) had been chosen for the case study. The underground mining spaces around Gelnica, which are currently inaccessible to clients of mining tourism, were processed using 3D modeling. Historically, correctly processed 3D models of mining spaces enable customers of mining tourism to virtually travel not only in space, but what is most important, in time as well. The up-to-date computer-generated virtual mining heritage in the form of 3D models can be viewed via the Internet from different perspectives and angles. The models created this way are currently the latest trend in developing mining tourism.
Inter-household variations in subsistence strategies within a rural society of Roviana, Solomon Islands: An analysis of agricultural production and cash income in relation to socio-demographic factors

Since several decades ago, rural societies in Solomon Islands have experienced rapid socioeconomic changes due to the direct and indirect influences of commercial logging operations by foreign companies on their customary lands. This study aims to explore household level subsistence patterns and their variations within a rural society that was subjected to the logging operation in the recent past, in Roviana, Western Province. Crop yield (MJ) and cash income (SBD: Solomon Islands Dollar) were compared among households and adjusted for the consumer unit (CU) and producer unit (PU), respectively. The results indicated large inter-household variations for both of these variables. Multiple regression analyses showed that the variation in crop yield was primarily explained by the available labor force (PU), while that in cash income was determined by the householders’ par ticipation in SDC, a local enterprise founded using a portion of royalty money, as well as the labor force. It is suggested that an individual’s experience in generating and increasing cash income in local environments increases his/her household’s economic level.
Seasonal movements of caribou in Arctic Alaska as determined by satellite

FANCY, S. G. , PANK, L. F. , WHITTEN, K. R. , and REGELIN, W. L. 1989. Seasonal movements of caribou in arctic Alaska as determined by satellite. Can. J. Zool. 67: 644 -650. Between 1985 and 1987, 49 283 locations and 79 101 sets of activity data were obtained for 34 adult female caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) of the Porcupine and Central Arctic herds using satellite telemetry. Daily movement rates of female caribou from the two herds, which differ greatly in size and separation of seasonal ranges, were similar except during the spring and fall migration periods. Movement rates in July exceeded those during migration in both herds. The minimum annual distances travelled by caribou cows, ranging to 5055 km, were the longest movements documented for any terrestrial mammal.
Occupational Balance and Quality of Life in Nursing Home Residents

Abstract Introduction: Nursing home residents may have difficulty maintaining occupational balance. The study aimed to explore occupational balance in nursing home residents, and examine the association between occupational balance and quality of life in this group. Methods: Forty-six nursing home residents (age range 69-101 years) in Norway were recruited to participate. The data were analyzed descriptively and with independent t-tests and Spearman’s correlation coefficient rho (rs). Results: The participants’ occupational balance (M = 20.7) was in the higher end of the scale. In the total sample, occupational balance and quality of life were not significantly associated (rs = 0.18, p = 0.23). However, splitting the sample by gender revealed a positive association for men (rs = 0.61, p = 0.01), while it was absent for women (rs = −0.00, p = 0.99). Conclusion: When assessing occupational balance and its correlates in elderly nursing home residents, gender appears important to consider.
Large-scale Sequencing of Meiosis-associated Genes from a cDNA Library of Lily Microsporocytes

Lily, Lilium longiflorum has been used to study meiosis for advantages of the synchronous development among sporogenous cells within an anther. In order to identify genes expressed at meiosis, we carried out random sequencing of a cDNA library which represented the mRNAs from microsporocytes of L. longiflorum at the zygotene stage of meiotic prophase. To avoid redundancy of cDNA clones and to obtain novel sequence information efficiently, we exploited a simple and versatile “self-hybridization” strategy. Single-run DNA sequence data were obtained from 418 cDNA clones. Deduced amino acid sequences of 171 cDNA clones, which comprised 41% of the selected cDNA clones, showed significant similarity to amino acid sequences registered in the database. These included cDNA sequences for previously identified meiosis-associated genes. However, 59% of the selected clones showed no significant homology to known gene products.
Circular Economy: Practices, knowledgebases and novelty

: The aim of this article is to provide a critical theoretical discussion of the knowledge basis for the concept of the circular economy (CE), drawing on examples from emerging practices and existing knowledge and discussions. The analysis includes examples from three fields of application: (1) the macro level, where the CE concept is used as a basis for the formulation of general policies, with examples from the EU; (2) the meso level, where the concept is applied to inform businesses and policymakers on how to design industrial systems in order to create closed-loop production and consumption systems, with examples from interactions between the agriculture and the energy sec-tors in Denmark, using a biogas case, and; (3) the micro level, where the CE concept is deployed to assist individual companies in the design of products and manufacturing processes. Based upon a detailed discussion of decades of research and the practical experiences with three other fields of environmental research, the novelty of the CE concept is critically evaluated against three main academic schools of thought, as outlined in the: (1) cleaner production literature, (2) industrial ecology literature and (3) cradle-to-cradle literature. The paper concludes that the CE concept revitalizes existing concepts rather than bringing essentially new tools, strategies and knowledge to the table. Finally, the paper elaborates on the knowledge gaps and future use of the CE concept, with special attention to stakeholder involvement, co-innovation and transdisciplinary research.
Lophogastrida and Mysida (Crustacea) of the “DIVA-1” deep-sea expedition to the Angola Basin (SE-Atlantic)

Three species of Lophogastrida and eight Mysida are documented for samples from 5161–5497 m bottom depth in the Angola Basin. Previously known latitudinal ranges are extended southward for five species, and bathymetric ranges extended beyond 5000 m for six species. Upon revision of the subfamily Petalophthalminae (Mysidae), four species previously attributed to the genus Petalophthalmus are integrated into Ipirophthalmus gen. nov. as I. liui gen. et comb. nov., I. caribbeanus gen. et comb. nov., I. oculatus gen. et comb. nov., and I. macrops gen. et comb. nov., mainly based on the structure of eyes and presence of setae on the telson. Petalophthalmus cristatus sp. nov. is described based on its reduced cornea and the structure of eyestalks, rostrum, mandibles, and telson. The structure of mouthparts, foregut and maxillipeds suggests an omnivorous mode of life. The diagnosis of the tribe Calyptommini (Mysidae: Erythropinae) is widened to cover the 3-segmented, uniramous fourth male pleopod and the non-incised eyeplate with horn-like rudiments of eyestalks in Abyssomysis cornuta gen. et sp. nov. The structure of mandibles, foregut, and second maxilliped suggest detritus feeding in this species. Keys to the Calyptommini and Petalophthalminae are given.
