Comparative analysis of common genes involved in early fruit development in tomato and grape

Fleshy fruits are important worldwide crops that are rich sources of useful and functional compounds in the human diet. Although fruit ripening has been extensively studied, early fruit development has not been paid much attention despite its contribution to the sensorial and nutritional quality of the fruit. This study aimed at identifying candidate genes involved in early fleshy fruit development that can contribute to the control of final fruit size and composition by comparative analysis of tomato and grape genes. By mining public sequences and microarray database, we identified 23 transcription factors belonging to 14 classes (AP2-EREBP, ARF, bHLH, bZIP, C2C2-GATA, FHA, GeBP, GRAS, HB, LIM, MYB, PBF-2-like, SBP and WRKY) as candidate regulatory genes for early fruit development. The function of these candidate genes will be confirmed by several reverse genetic approaches using the miniature tomato cv. Micro-Tom.
Tracking Atlantic bluefin tuna from foraging grounds off the west coast of Ireland

Pop-up archival tags (n = 16) were deployed on Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) off the west coast of Ireland in October and November 2016 (199–246 cm curved fork length), yielding 2799 d of location data and 990 and 989 d of depth and temperature time-series data, respectively. Most daily locations (96%, n = 2651) occurred east of 45°W, the current stock management boundary for ABT. Key habitats occupied were the Bay of Biscay and the Central North Atlantic, with two migratory patterns evident: an east-west group and an eastern resident group. Five out of six tags that remained attached until July 2017 returned to the northeast Atlantic after having migrated as far as the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean Sea (MEDI) and the Central North Atlantic. Tracked bluefin tuna exhibited a diel depth-use pattern occupying shallower depths at night and deeper depths during the day. Four bluefin tuna visited known spawning grounds in the central and western MEDI, and one may have spawned, based on the recovered data showing oscillatory dives transecting the thermocline on 15 nights. These findings demonstrate the complexity of the aggregation of ABT off Ireland and, more broadly in the northeast Atlantic, highlighting the need for dedicated future research to conserve this important aggregation.
Effect of spacing and number of seedlings per hill on the performance of aus rice cv. NERICA 1 under dry direct seeded rice (DDSR) system of cultivation

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from April to August 2011 to find out the effect of spacing and number of seedlings hill on the performance of Aus rice cv. NERICA 1. Four spacing viz. 25 cm × l5 cm, 20 cm × l5 cm. 20 cm × 10 cm and 15 cm × 10 cm and four number of seedlings hill viz. 2, 3, 4 and 5 were included in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The highest number of total tillers m, number of effective tillers m, number of grains panicle, grain yield, straw yield, biological yield and harvest index were obtained from 20 cm × 10 cm spacing. Plant height and 1000grain weight were not significantly affected by spacing. Number of seedlings hill exerts a significant effect on plant height. The highest value of total tillers m, number of effective tillers m, total grains panicle, grain yield, straw yield, biological yield and harvest index were obtained from five seedlings hill. The interaction between spacing and number of seedlings hill significantly influenced yield and plant characters. The highest number of effective tillers m, grains panicle, grain yield, straw yield and biological yield were recorded from the interaction between 20 cm × 10 cm and five seedlings hill.
Converting land into golf courses – effects on ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae)

Some golf courses start off as half‐size, 9‐hole courses and, if successful, expand in area to full‐size courses, thus converting more land to highly managed greenspace. We investigated carabid beetle assemblages in three established and newly created suburban golf courses in Helsinki, southern Finland. Beetles were collected from similar habitat types on established courses, newly created courses and nearby reference areas. Seventy‐one carabid beetle species were collected and the beetle assemblages were dominated by open habitat and generalist species. Assemblages differed considerably between the three golf courses studied and between the habitat types sampled, but not between course development stages (established vs. newly created) or reference areas. We argue that some carabid beetle species in the urban landscape in Helsinki are resilient and capable of rapidly colonising these modified environments. Under current management regimes, these golf courses in Helsinki, Finland, do not host carabid beetles of conservation concern, yet are rich in generalist and open habitat species.
Temperature and hen harrier productivity: from local mechanisms to geographical patterns

Climate is an important factor limiting demography and distribution patterns in many organisms. For species with a broad geographical distribution, the mechanism by which climate influences demography is likely to vary dramatically from one end of the range to the other. In this paper we first assess, in a Scottish population of hen harriers Circus cyaneus, how temperature and rainfall influence adult behaviour and chick mortality patterns at the nest. We then test for associations between harrier productivity and weather across Scotland, towards the northern edge of the range, and Spain, towards the southern edge of the range. We show that during the nestling period, female brooding time increased in cold weather. Male provisioning rate was negatively related to temperature and rainfall. Chick mortality increased in cold temperatures and was most likely to occur at nests where male prey delivery rates were low relative to temperature. Annual values of harrier fledged brood size across Scotland were positively related to summer temperature suggesting that the patterns seen in one population held at a national scale. In Spain, however, the opposite patterns were observed with fledged brood size being negatively related to temperature. This shows that whilst the impact of weather on productivity may be equally strong at two ends of a geographical range, the mechanisms vary dramatically. Large-scale predictive models need to take such patterns into account.
Reciprocal differences of morphological and DNA characters in interspecific hybridization in Cucumis

Plant materials with different ploidy levels from a series of reciprocal crosses between a wild Cucumis species (Cucumis hystrix Chakr., 2n = 2x = 24) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L., 2n = 2x = 14) were used to investigate reciprocal differences in morphology, fertility, and DNA characteristics. Diameter of the stem, length of the petiole, and shape and size of the leaves of the hybrids were intermediate when compared with their parents. The length of the internode of the main stem showed maternal transmission in all hybrids, but the branching number and appearance of the first female flower showed paternal transmission. The differences in fertility of reciprocal plants were significant. When C. hystrix was used as the female parent, the diploid (2n = 2x = 19) hybrids set fruit without seeds, whereas the amphidiploid (2n = 4x = 38) plants produced fruits with viable seeds. However, when cucumber was used as the female parent, both tetraploid and diploid hybrid plants were highly sterile and did not set f.
Agri-Food Markets in Qatar: Drivers, Trends, and Policy Responses

Agri-food markets are vital in achieving food security, especially for resource-poor, food-importing countries such as Qatar. The paper provides an overview of the evolution of agri-food markets in Qatar and explores the implications of past and ongoing changes in terms of food security and food system sustainability. In particular, the review analyzes drivers of changes, trends, and challenges as well as policy responses to address the emerging challenges while ensuring the country’s food security. It draws upon a systematic review of scholarly literature indexed in the Web of Science as well as data from gray literature (e.g., reports) and databases (e.g., FAOSTAT). Different drivers (e.g., population growth with huge expatriate inflow, urbanization, income increase) affected the functioning of agri-food markets as well as the structure of the food chain (viz. production, processing, distribution, consumption) in Qatar. In addition to drivers, the food-related trends were also shaped by numerous environmental (e.g., land/water scarcity), economic, health, and trade challenges. To ensure long-term food and nutrition security for its population, Qatar implemented various policies and strategies (e.g., National Food Security Strategy 2018–2023). In this context, agri-food markets, as functional links between production and consumption, can foster transition towards sustainable food consumption and production patterns in Qatar.
Observations on the ascorbic acid content of evaporated milk.

The ascorbic acid content of evaporated milk has been investigated by Meulemans and de Haas (9), who concluded that the canned product contains as much vitamin C as does " p r e p a r e d " fresh milk. These workers apparently used a direct titration procedure with 2,6-dichlorobenzenoneindophenol and obtained data ranging from 20 to 30 rag. per liter of ascorbic acid in evaporated milk reconstituted to a fluid basis. Henry, Houston, Kon and Osborne (3), using the precipitation technique of Kon and Watson (8), titrated milk serum with the indophenol dye and found losses of about 30 per cent in the total ascorbic acid content of evaporated milk due to manufacture, with a subsequent gradual loss in storage. Appreciable quantities of dehydroascorbic acid were noted upon reduction of the milk serum with hydrogen sulfide, scrubbing with nitrogen and subsequent titration. Woessner, Elvehjem and Schuette (13) found only insignificant amounts of dehydroascorbic acid in evaporated milk using a photoelectric method and extrapolating galvanometer readings to zero time, which procedure they found corrected errors due to spurious reducing substances resulting from the effect of hydrogen sulfide on milk ingredients other than dehydroascorbic acid. These workers state that the metallic nature of the manufacturing equipment is not related to the ascorbic acid content of evaporate(~ milk nor are the use of stabilizing salts, the degree of preheating or geographical considerations. Kon and Henry (7) noted a loss of 43 per cent in the ascorbic acid content of fresh fluid milk as a result of sterilizing at a temperature of 230 ° F. , whereas Josephson and Doan (5) showed that moderately high temperatures (170 ° F. to boiling) cause a stabilization of the ascorbic acid of milk as a result of heat produced, sulfhydryl, reducing substances derived from certain milk proteins.
What Determines the Distribution of Coastal Hydrobiid Mudsnails Within North‐Western Europe?

The three north-west European species of Hydrobia are often partially segregated along salinity gradients and/or sympatric in the nontidal eastern Danish waters and Baltic Sea, but are rarely sympatric and are confined either to nontidal coastal lagoons (Hydrobia ventrosa and Hydrobia neglecta) or to the marine/estuarine intertidal zone (Hydrobia ulvae) along the macrotidal Atlantic and North Sea coasts. Significant interspecific competition has been found in Danish waters but not elsewhere in the Atlantic and North-Sea Europe. The two nontidal species and H. ulvae also possess contrasting reproductive strategies. The roles of life-history strategy, interspecific competition and between-habitat dispersal in restricting these mudsnails to their differing habitats are evaluated in the light of these and other findings. It is concluded that all are likely to be relevant, especially dispersal in maintaining and interspecific competition in opposing, mixed populations in the Kattegat-Baltic, and life-history strategy in maintaining the lagoonal versus intertidal dichotomy in the rest of north-west Europe. This dichotomy prevents segregation of species along common salinity gradients outside the Baltic region and restricts potential interspecific competition to within lagoons, where H. ulvae is at a recruitment disadvantage.
Muscle Metabolism and Fatigue during Simulated Ice Hockey Match-Play in Elite Players

ABSTRACT Purpose The present study investigated muscle metabolism and fatigue during simulated elite male ice hockey match-play. Methods Thirty U20 male national team players completed an experimental game comprising three periods of 8 × 1-min shifts separated by 2-min recovery intervals. Two vastus lateralis biopsies were obtained either during the game (n = 7) or pregame and postgame (n = 6). Venous blood samples were drawn pregame and at the end of the first and last periods (n = 14). Activity pattern and physiological responses were continuously monitored using local positioning system and heart rate recordings. Further, repeated-sprint ability was tested pregame and after each period. Results Total distance covered was 5980 ± 199 m with almost half the distance covered at high skating speeds (>17 km·h−1). Average and peak on-ice heart rate was 84% ± 2% and 97% ± 2% of maximum heart rate, respectively. Muscle lactate increased (P ≤ 0.05) more than fivefold and threefold, whereas muscle pH decreased (P ≤ 0.05) from 7.31 ± 0.04 pregame to 6.99 ± 0.07 and 7.13 ± 0.11 during the first and last periods, respectively. Muscle glycogen decreased by 53% postgame (P ≤ 0.05) with ~65% of fast- and slow-twitch fibers depleted of glycogen. Blood lactate increased sixfold (P ≤ 0.05), whereas plasma free fatty acid levels increased 1.5-fold and threefold (P ≤ 0.05) after the first and last periods. Repeated-sprint ability was impaired (~3%; P ≤ 0.05) postgame concomitant with a ~10% decrease in the number of accelerations and decelerations during the second and last periods (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that a simulated ice hockey match-play scenario encompasses a high on-ice heart rate response and glycolytic loading resulting in a marked degradation of muscle glycogen, particularly in specific sub-groups of fibers. This may be of importance both for fatigue in the final stages of a game and for subsequent recovery.
Medicosocial Study on the Influence of Indigenous Knowledge on Perception of Disease Status: Using a Cardiovascular Disease as a Model

Objective: Cultural beliefs may shape understanding of disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing in prevalence in urban Nigerian communities; hence, the aim of this research is to explore spiritual views in this context. Material and Methods: This study employed convenience sampling to recruit 50 participants via word of mouth, posters, handbills and community networks. The author drew from his indigenous knowledge to design tools in collaboration with stakeholders, including the community members, faith leaders and leaders in community healthcare practice; to investigate and explore the views of an urban community members in Nigeria on their indigenous beliefs about factors that contribute to CVD. Results: The views that emerged in exploring perceived spiritual factors that contribute to CVD were organised into two preceptions, namely: spiritual inflicted diseases influenced by humans and spiritual inflicted diseases influenced by non-humans. The perceived spiritually inflicted diseases influenced by humans are through witchery and sorcery. The perceived spiritual inflicted diseases influenced by non-humans are through Satan, deities, and God. Spiritually inflicted diseases are perceived to be transmitted through pets, such as domestic cats, birds like owls, bats and objects. Perceived spiritually inflicted diseases can only be healed through spiritual means. Conclusion: In a well-educated, ethnically diverse urban setting the view that spiritual factors have an impact on health and disease is prevalent. Since this may have an impact on healthcare choices, it should be accommodated for in public health planning, and further explored through community-based participatory research.

Cryometry and excess thermodynamic functions in water soluble of the fullerenol C60(OH)24

The temperature of water-ice crystallization initiation decreases ( ∆ T) were determined in the binary water solutions of water soluble fullerenol: C 60 (OH) 24 − H 2 O at 272.85–273.15 K. Solution concentrations (in molar fractions) vary over a wide range x nano − cluster = 5 . 0 · 10 − 6 ÷ 1 . 6 · 10 − 4 a.un. Liquidus temperatures were determined with the help of Beckman thermometer with a linear resolution of the device scale ∆ T ∆ h ≈ 0 . 01 K/mm (h – height of Hg capillary raising). For the thermodynamic description of the discussed systems, we have elaborated an original semi-empirical model, the virial decomposition asymmetric model (VD-AS), with assistance from partial molar functions of nano-clusters (activities and activity coefﬁcients) were calculated. The Gibbs energies for the solutions and miscibility gap concentration regions were calculated. VD-AS model excellently describes pre-delamination or micro-heterogeneous-structure formation in the considered solutions. These calculations are conﬁrmed by the dynamic light scattering data.

Perspectives of medical students on attributes of bedside teaching

Bedside teaching is a particulate form of small group teaching that takes place in the presence of the patient. Teaching starts with a lecture or discussion away from the ward followed by more interactive sessions by the patient’s bedside, making bedside rounds the most patient centered of all teaching venues. Although it is known to enhance a student’s learning experience and improve patient care, the use of this type of teaching is unfortunately in steady decline. In order to master the art of clinical skill, these students should be competent in handling patients.
Antioxidant Activities of Extracts from Pholiota Nameko

Holiota nameko is an edible mushroom widely cultivated in the northeast of China. The cold water, hot water and ethanol extracts were prepared and their antioxidant properties were studied. At 2 mg/mL, the cold water extract showed a high reducing power of 1.502, whereas those of hot water and ethanol extracts were 0.868 and 0.159. With regard to the scavenging ability on DPPH free radicals, extracts were effective in the order: cold water > hot water > ethanol extracts. EC50 values for chelating ability on ferrous ions for cold water, hot water, and ethanol extracts were 1.461, 0.663, and 11.791 mg/mL, respectively. Based on EC50 values, the water extracts of P. nameko were effective antioxidants.
Does dispersal cause reproductive delays in female mountain gorillas

Summary Reproductive delays are a potential cost of dispersal, even when females transfer directly from one social unit to another. Delays may occur before a transfer if females avoid conception while waiting to encounter other groups, and delays following the transfer could be caused by greater stress or poorer nutrition in the new group. This paper examines the timing of reproduction and inter-group transfers of female mountain gorillas in the Virunga Volcano region in Africa. Reproductive delays were not observed for nulliparous females, who typically transfer more than a year before their first conception. For parous females, interbirth intervals were significantly longer when they contained a transfer, but limited observations did not suggest that females were avoiding conception while waiting to transfer, and immigrants did not take significantly longer to conceive than other females. We conclude that transfers may not delay reproduction of parous females, but conversely, dispersal may become more likely when successful reproduction is delayed for any reason (e.g., infertility, miscarriages, and infant mortality). We present a preliminary mathematical model to predict how much of a delay a transferring female could afford, if offspring mortality were reduced in her new group.
Transmission of Switchgrass mosaic virus by Graminella aureovittata

Abstract Switchgrass mosaic virus (SwMV) was identified in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and was proposed as a new marafivirus based on its genome sequence and comparison with its closest relative, Maize rayado fino virus (MRFV), a type member of the genus Marafivirus. MRFV only infects maize (Zea mays) and its wild relatives, and is naturally transmitted by a corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis. Proving that SwMV is transmitted by a different species of leafhopper than D. maidis would provide additional evidence that SwMV is a new species of the genus Marafivirus. In 2010, three leafhopper species were identified in switchgrass fields near Champaign, Illinois – Graminella aureovittata, Graminella mohri and Flexamia atlantica. Switchgrass mosaic virus was detected by two independent RT–PCR assays in 100% of G. mohri and F. atlantica, and 95% of G. aureovittata. Twenty specimens of each species were evaluated. Of the three leafhoppers, only G. aureovittata transmitted the virus to ‘Cave in Rock’ switchgrass plants in a growth chamber. Transmission efficiency was 80% and only one of the eight SwMV-infected plants displayed mosaic/yellow streak symptoms. Switchgrass mosaic virus was detected in 78% and 83% of the switchgrass plants in the two fields from which the leafhoppers were collected. The detection of a leafhopper vector of SwMV will facilitate the transmission of the virus and the study of its impact on switchgrass biomass yield.
