Plums
Authors: Callahan Ann M.
Published: April 2009

Plums arose in three distinct regions, European plums (Prunus domesticaand others) from southern Europe and Asia Minor, Japanese plums (Prunus salicinaand others) from China, and the American plums (Prunus Americanaand others) from North America. The two major commercial species of plum areP. domestica(primarily for the dried fruit industry) andP. salicina(primarily for the fresh fruit industry). Breeding efforts have resulted in many high quality fruit cultivars that have been adapted for various local environmental and disease pressures. At present though, there have been few successes in breeding for resistance to plum pox potyvirus, a virus that not only affects the marketability of the fruit crop but the health of the tree. A number of research groups have begun to develop the techniques necessary to introduce resistance to plum pox virus through genetic engineering. These efforts have resulted in “HoneySweet”, a prune plum (P. domestica) that has been found to be highly resistant to plum pox virus in field trials. Work is continuing on improving the techniques used to engineer a plum pox virus‐resistant plum as well as producing more cultivars of plum with the resistance.
Berry Crops

Published: April 2009

Considerable genetic improvement has been achieved in the berry crops, mostly through conventional breeding. Strawberry breeders have focused on improving local adaptations, fruit quality, productivity, and disease resistance, and many are interested in developing day‐neutral cultivars. Transgenic strawberries have been produced with herbicide and pest resistances. A number of genes from strawberry have also been characterized that are associated with fruit ripening and maturation, and an effective marker‐free transformation process has been developed. The major objectives of blueberry breeders have centered on high plant vigor, improved disease resistance, flavor, longer fruit storage, and expanded harvest dates. Transgenic blueberries have been produced with herbicide resistance. Cranberry breeders have focused on early maturing fruit, uniform large size, intense color, keeping quality, high productivity, disease resistance, and plant vigor. TheBtgene (Bacillus thuringiensis) has been incorporated into cranberry through transformation. Raspberry breeders have been most interested in improving fruit quality and increasing the efficiency of fruit production. The development of primocane fruiting types has also been a high priority in many programs. Transformation was used to develop a red raspberry cultivar with resistance toRaspberry bushy dwarfvirus. Blackberry breeders have been interested in increasing the climatic zone, improving harvest efficiency, reducing chilling requirements, improving fruit quality, and generating primocane fruiting types. Little transformation work has been done on blackberry.
Kiwifruit
Authors: Gutiérrez‐Pesce Patricia , Rugini Eddo
Published: April 2009

The wide genetic variation among the different species belonging to the genusActinidiaprovides the opportunity for developing new cultivars in order to increase the kiwifruit world market variability, which has been limited to few types. The main expected characteristics for new cultivars are the improvement of fruit quality characteristics, abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, regulation of fruit ripening, the production of hermaphrodite plants, parthenocarpic fruits, and the alteration of vegetative habit. Genetic improvement programs are focused on modifying the expression of the endogenous genes, or on transferring foreign genes through both direct and indirect gene transfer methods. Efficientin vitroregeneration systems are indispensable for the recovery of transgenic plants. Optimal results have been obtained in three species of theActinidia genusbecause kiwifruit has demonstrated relative amenability toin vitromultiplication; protoplast culture, somatic hybridization, embryo rescue, and the creation of dihaploids lines have also been developed as methods for genetic improvement. Transgenic plants of A. deliciosa have been recovered with some foreign genes of interest:rolABC,rolB, whole T‐DNA,osmotin,human epidermal growth factor, soybeanβ‐1,3‐endoglucanase, andOSH1. Some of these transgenic plants are under field evaluation for biotic stress resistance and growth habit.
Turfgrass
Authors: Qu Rongda , Luo Hong , Meier Virgil D.
Published: April 2009

Turfgrasses are important crops widely used for lawns, sports fields, and roadside ground coverage. Turfgrasses can be divided into two major groups: cool‐ and warm‐season grasses. This chapter provides basic biological information of over a dozen turfgrass species, and a historical view on the approaches and accomplishments of turfgrass tissue culture research in the past nearly three decades. The chapter reviews the methodology of genetic transformation of each turfgrass species reported so far, and then focuses on the attempts using genetic transformation to improve agronomic traits in turfgrasses. The chapter also discusses regulatory issues regarding release of genetically modified turfgrasses to the environment. At the end, the chapter provides future perspectives on turfgrass improvement through biotechnology. An updated, detailed reference list in the field is provided at the end of the chapter to help the readers for their further study on the issue.
Birches

Published: April 2009

The birches are common trees and shrubs of the northern hemisphere. Economically, the most important species is the silver birch (Betula pendula), and its breeding started already in 1940s. To speed up breeding, new biotechnological approaches have been introduced, including marker‐assisted breeding, micropropagation, and gene transfer. Possibilities to improve wood quality and stress tolerance are now being studied by using these technologies. Several genes regulating flower development in birch have been isolated, and utilized in development of nonflowering and early‐flowering birches. The only biotechnological applications related to herbivore and fungal resistance so far appear to be the transformation of spider insecticidal peptide gene intoBetula platyphylla, and of chitinase IV gene from sugar beet into silver birch. Attempts to modify lignin amount and composition have been made with two genes, but neither of these lead to expected alterations in lignin composition. Birch is quite tolerant to some toxic compounds found in contaminated soil, but so far no transgenic applications for phytoremediation have been reported. The recently established large expressed sequence tag (EST) library and birch oligonucleotide microarray chips will undoubtedly enable further genomic studies on birch and enhance its potential as a deciduous woody model plant.
Douglas Fir
Authors: Misra Santosh , Vetrici Mariana A. , Owens John N.
Published: April 2009

Douglas fir is a native species of western North America, China, Taiwan, and Japan. Its high quality lumber is in demand throughout the world and therefore, breeding objectives include improvement of economic value and adaptability to biotic and abiotic stresses. Similar to other conifers, the reproductive cycle of Douglas fir is lengthy (17 months) and the time from pollination to cone maturity is 6 months. The pollination mechanism is unique in that pollen granule takes 9 weeks to germinate and elongate. The most efficient method for improving economic value is by capturing multiple desirable traits in a single individual and propagation of this genotype via somatic embryogenesis. Presently, the main incentives for transgenic breeding are to provide methods to confer insect and fungal resistance, and the temporary transfer of genes that may induce somatic embryogenesis. Thus far, experiments with

Agrobacterium

‐mediated transformation have identified several strains that effectively transform Douglas‐fir tissues, and stem woodiness, plant age, and plant defense mechanisms have been identified as factors that influence success rate. Electroporation and microprojectile bombardment have also been investigated and cytokinin pulsing was shown to improve transformation efficiency. The use of endogenous and/or tissue‐specific promoters will be useful in enhancing and ontrolling transgene expression.

Authors: de Castro A.B. , Garcia Gabriel , Gee Gilbert C. , Tsai Jenny Hsin‐Chun , Rue Tessa , Takeuchi David T.
Published: April 2009

Background

Smoking among the Asian American workforce has not been extensively researched. This study examines smoking prevalence among a nationally representative sample of Asian Americans with an emphasis on occupational classification.

Methods

Cross‐sectional data come from the National Latino and Asian American Study. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine smoking prevalence by occupation, gender, and nativity, among 1,528 participants self‐identifying as in the labor force.

Results

Blue collar workers reported the highest smoking prevalence (32%) followed by unemployed (19%), other (17%), service (14%), and white collar (10%). Among both employed males and females, blue collar workers had the highest prevalence (45% and 18%, respectively). By nativity, smoking was highest among blue collar workers for immigrants (25%) and highest among the unemployed for U.S. born (16%). Blue collar employment was significantly associated with being a current smoker (OR = 2.52; 95% CI: 1.23–5.16;P < 0.05) controlling for demographics (e.g., age, gender, ethnic group, nativity, etc.).

Conclusions

Findings reveal that smoking differs by occupation among Asian Americans. Future research should examine factors explaining differences while considering gender and nativity. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:171–178 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Mass Spectrometry Assisted Lithography for the Patterning of Cell Adhesion Ligands on Self‐Assembled Monolayers
Authors: Kim Young‐Kwan , Ryoo Soo‐Ryoon , Kwack Sul‐Jin , Min Dal‐Hee
Published: April 2009

Pattern of events: A simple and flexible method has been developed for patterning cell adhesion ligands. Locally erasing self‐assembled monolayers with tri(ethyleneglycol) groups on a gold substrate by using a MALDI‐TOF MS nitrogen laser and filling the exposed gold surface with an alkanethiol presenting carboxylic acid groups enables subsequent immobilization of maleimide and a cell adhesion peptide, which can then recognize cells (see scheme).

Klimatische Verhältnisse in Kriechkellern unter gedämmten Holzbodenplatten
Authors: Werther Norman , Winter Stefan
Published: April 2009

Hochgedämmte Holzbodenplatten über Kriechkellerkonstruktionen als unterer Abschluss eines Gebäudes kamen in den letzten Jahren im Bereich des Wohn‐ und Zweckbaus in Holzbauweise vermehrt zur Anwendung. Fehlende Kenntnis zu den im Kellerbereich herrschenden Mikroklimabedingungen und die sich daraus ergebenden Nutzungsrandbedingungen für Holz und Holzwerkstoffe führten zu unterschiedlichen Konstruktionsformen. Mittels Langzeitmessungen im Feld‐ und Laborversuch wurden Konstruktionsprinzipien entwickelt, die einen dauerhaften Einsatz von Holzbodenplatten über belüfteten Kriechkellern sicherstellen.
Untersuchungen zum Raumklima und zur Fensterlüftung in Schulen
Authors: Hellwig Runa Tabea , Antretter Florian , Holm Andreas , Sedlbauer Klaus
Published: April 2009

Es gibt mehr als 40.000 Schulgebäude in Deutschland, von denen die meisten noch auf eine Sanierung warten. Sanierungen sollen nicht nur dazu dienen, den energetischen Standard der Gebäude zu verbessern, sondern sollten in erster Linie dazu genutzt werden, die raumklimatischen Bedingungen in den Klassenräumen für Schüler und Lehrer zu verbessern. Da die meisten deutschen Schulgebäude nicht mit Raumlufttechnischen Anlagen ausgestattet sind, werden die Räume durch freie Fensterlüftung, betätigt durch die Lehrer und Schüler, belüftet. Daher ist das Fensteröffnungsverhalten der Nutzer von Interesse. Der Einfluss des Fensteröffnungsverhaltens der Nutzer auf die raumklimatischen Bedingungen in den Klassenräumen wurde in zwei Schulen untersucht. Innentemperatur, Kohlendioxidkonzentration sowie die außenklimatischen Bedingungen wurden gemessen. In einer Schule wurde die Fensteröffnungszeit erfasst. Neben hohen Kohlendioxidkonzentrationen besonders während der Heizperiode, sind einige Klassenräume im Winter zu kalt und zu warm im Sommer. Einige Klassenräume haben keinen Sonnenschutz, oder der Sonnenschutz ist unzureichend oder er behindert die Belüftung des dahinterliegenden Raumes. Die Fenster werden zu einem gewissen Grad während des Unterrichts und in den Pausen genutzt. Jedoch werden die Fenster nach dem Unterricht geschlossen und bleiben geschlossen bis zum nächsten Morgen. Es wird keine Nachtlüftung oder Lüftung in den frühen Morgenstunden praktiziert. Signifikante schwache bis moderate Korrelationen zwischen der Fensteröffnungszeit und der Innentemperatur wurden gefunden. Die Korrelation zwischen der Fensteröffnungszeit und der Außentemperatur ist in den meisten Fällen nicht signifikant oder ist nur schwach ausgeprägt.
Grün ist nicht gleich Grün – Einblicke in das LEED‐Zertifizierungssystem
Authors: Baumann Oliver , Reiser Claudius , Schäfer Jochen
Published: April 2009

Die USA sind nicht gerade für ökologisches und energieeffizientes Bauen bekannt. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass das LEED‐Zertifizierungssystem (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) neben anderen landesspezifischen Systemen wie z. B. BREEAM in England, CASBEE in Japan, HQE in Frankreich, Green Star in Australien und jetzt auch DGNB in Deutschland, eine Vorreiterrolle bei der Zertifizierung von “Green Buildings” eingenommen hat. Für international agierende Unternehmen geht zur Zeit kein Weg an LEED vorbei, da dieses System weltweit Anwendung findet – es sind derzeit bereits über 20.000 Gebäude in 76 Ländern für eine LEED‐Zertifizierung angemeldet.
Schallabsorbierende Doppelböden
Authors: Eßer Georg
Published: April 2009

In Bürogebäuden wird die Betonkernaktivierung zur Temperierung der Gebäude immer mehr eingesetzt. Die Betonkernaktivierung wird in den Decken eingebaut, und schallabsorbierende Unterdecken können in der Regel nicht mehr montiert werden, da dadurch die Leistung der Betonkernaktivierung auf ein unwirtschaftliches Maß reduziert wird. Eine Alternative zu schallabsorbierenden Decken sind schallabsorbierende Doppelböden. Im Hallraum wurden mehr als 60 Messungen der Schallabsorptionsgrade von Teppichböden, schallabsorbierenden Doppelböden und insbesondere Kombinationen von beiden durchgeführt. Es werden die Aufbauten der verschiedenen Böden und deren Schallabsorptionsgrade erläutert und dargestellt.
Sulfated membrane adsorbers for economic pseudo‐affinity capture of influenza virus particles
Authors: Opitz Lars , Lehmann Sylvia , Reichl Udo , Wolff Michael W.
Published: April 2009

Strategies to control outbreaks of influenza, a contagious respiratory tract disease, are focused mainly on prophylactic vaccinations in conjunction with antiviral medications. Currently, several mammalian cell culture‐based influenza vaccine production processes are being established, such as the technologies introduced by Novartis Behring (Optaflu®) or Baxter International Inc. (Celvapan). Downstream processing of influenza virus vaccines from cell culture supernatant can be performed by adsorbing virions onto sulfated column chromatography beads, such as Cellufine® sulfate. This study focused on the development of a sulfated cellulose membrane (SCM) chromatography unit operation to capture cell culture‐derived influenza viruses. The advantages of the novel method were demonstrated for the Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell‐derived influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1). Furthermore, the SCM‐adsorbers were compared directly to column‐based Cellufine® sulfate and commercially available cation‐exchange membrane adsorbers. Sulfated cellulose membrane adsorbers showed high viral product recoveries. In addition, the SCM‐capture step resulted in a higher reduction of dsDNA compared to the tested cation‐exchange membrane adsorbers. The productivity of the SCM‐based unit operation could be significantly improved by a 30‐fold increase in volumetric flow rate during adsorption compared to the bead‐based capture method. The higher flow rate even further reduced the level of contaminating dsDNA by about twofold. The reproducibility and general applicability of the developed unit operation were demonstrated for two further MDCK cell‐derived influenza virus strains: A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2) and B/Malaysia/2506/2004. Overall, SCM‐adsorbers represent a powerful and economically favorable alternative for influenza virus capture over conventional methods using Cellufine® sulfate. Biotechnol.

Central pair apparatus enhances outer‐arm dynein activities through regulation of inner‐arm dyneins
Authors: Kikushima Kenji
Published: April 2009

The beating of eukaryotic cilia and flagella is controlled by multiple species of inner‐arm and outer‐arm dyneins. To clarify the regulation on axonemal beating by nucleotide conditions and central‐pair microtubules, microtubule sliding in disintegrating Chlamydomonas axonemes of various mutants and in vitro microtubule gliding by isolated axonemal dyneins were examined. In the in vitro motility assays with outer‐arm dyneins (αβ and γ), microtubule translocation velocity decreased at high concentrations of ATP, while this inhibition was canceled by the simultaneous presence of ADP or ribose‐modified analogues, mantATP/ADP. In contrast, motility of inner‐arm dyneins was rather insensitive to these nucleotides. The velocity of sliding disintegration in axonemes lacking the central pair was less than that in wild‐type axonemes at high ATP concentrations, but was overcome by the presence of ADP or mantATP/ADP. While these nucleotides did not activate the sliding velocity in other mutant axonemes, they increased the extent of sliding, except foraxonemes lacking outer‐arm dynein. Experiments with axonemes lacking inner‐arm dynein f using casein kinase 1 inhibitor suggest that the regulation of outer‐arm dynein by the central pair is effected through the activation of inner‐arm dynein f, and possibly by other interactions. These results indicate that thecentral pair activates outer‐arm dyneins on specific outer‐doublet, resulting in amplification of the axonemal bending force. Cell Motil.

Published: April 2009

Drug–nanoparticle conjugates: The anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) was covalently linked at the surface of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIOs) via a linker, allowing drug release by cellular esterases. Nanoparticles were hierarchically built to achieve magnetically‐enhanced drug delivery to human cancer cells and antiproliferative activity.

The linking of therapeutic drugs to ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIOs) allowing intracellular release of the active drug via cell‐specific mechanisms would achieve tumor‐selective magnetically‐enhanced drug delivery. To validate this concept, we covalently attached the anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) to biocompatible USPIOs (iron oxide core, 9–10 nm; hydrodynamic diameter, 52 nm) coated with polyvinylalcohol/polyvinylamine (PVA/aminoPVA). A bifunctional, end‐differentiated dicarboxylic acid linker allowed the attachment of CPT to the aminoPVA as a biologically labile ester substrate for cellular esterases at one end, and as an amide at the other end. These CPT–USPIO conjugates exhibited antiproliferative activity in vitro against human melanoma cells. The intracellular localization of CPT–USPIOs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (iron oxide core), suggesting localization in lipid vesicles, and by fluorescence microscopy (CPT). An external static magnetic field applied during exposure increased melanoma cell uptake of the CPT–USPIOs.
