Study of the Level of Gene Expression of the GLUT2 Glucose Vector in the Small Intestine of the Meat Broiler and its Relationship to Productive Traits
Authors: Anwar Hammood Obaid Al-Omar
Published: May 2023

The study was conducted in the field of animal production of the Agricultural Research Station / College of Agriculture and the Marshes / Dhi Qar University for the period from 10/11/2021 to 25/ 2/ 2022. Laboratory tests of the samples were carried out in the Molecular Genetics Laboratory of the College of Dentistry / Dhi Qar University, for the purpose of knowing the gene expression of the SLC2A2 gene encoding the glucose transporter GLUT2 and the abundance of its mRNA transcripts in different regions of the small intestine of broilers when fed at different levels of energy and to study the relationship of that abundance to some productive traits.

In this study, 135 non-naturalized of meat broiler (breed 308 Ross) were used. The broiler were randomly distributed to three experimental treatments, with three replicates for each group (15 chicks/repeat), used the adlibitum free feeding system for the duration of the experiment, which lasted (35) days. The study included three levels of energy, where the first treatment was a control diet, which represented 3065 and 3133 kilocalories/kg for the primer and final diet, respectively, as for the second treatment, it contained a high level of energy 3200 kilocalories/kg and 3297 kilocalories/kg for the primer and final diets, respectively, the third treatment contained a low level of energy 2769 kilocalories/kg and 2802 kilocalories/kg for primer and growth diets, respectively. The results of the study showed the following:-

The possibility of amplifying the studied gene and knowing its abundance and according to the primers used.

The highest level of mRNA transcription of the GLUT2 gene in the small intestine of males was in the jejunum region (9.41) at a representative energy level of 3297 kilocalories/kg, as for the duodenum, the expression of GLUT2 gene was lower than in the jejunum (0.535), the GLUT2 gene expression in males was slightly more than in females in the ileum region (0.578) at a representative energy level of 3297 kcal/kg.

Gene expression was positively and significantly associated with live weight, weight gain and feed consumption rates, but it was inversely related to the efficiency of food conversion in the jejunum and duodenal regions.

The abundance of the glucose transporter GLUT2 gene increased with the increase in the energy level in the diet.

Males gave a higher percentage of mRNA copies in all target organs compared to females.

The activity of the gene responsible for the transfer of glucose can be modified through feeding and increasing energy levels and thus its reflection on the performance of birds.

As for the productive traits, the differences were significant in the average live body weight and weight gain, as well as feed consumption compared with the control treatment, while the feed conversion efficiency did not show any significant differences.

Essential oils were extracted from dried leaves of C. tamala by hydro-distillation. The oil yield varied from 0.3%-1.3%. The GC and GC-MS analysis of oil samples showed significant variation in three major components, viz., cinnamaldehyde (43.3-63.7%), linalool (7.0-32.7%) and cinnamyl acetate (6.0-46.8%). Total percentage of these three major components found in all samples within the range of 78-83%. However, the market sample showed high amount of eugenol (61.0%), and it was absent in our samples. Cinnamaldehyde type tejpat is mainly used in pharmaceutical industries and flavouring food items while eugenol type is used as spice.
Medicine at the Margins
Authors: Prener Christopher
Published: May 2023

While we imagine ambulances as a site for critical care, the reality is far more complicated. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the United States is defined not by its role in providing critical care but rather by how marginality shapes pre-hospital medicine. EMS providers work in an institution that developed apart from both the traditional health care system and other first responder occupations, meaning that it is marginalized from its closest peer entities as an institution. Moreover, the work is also marginalizing, with providers spending long stretches in their ambulances passing the time between ambulance calls. Finally, urban EMS work occurs in and on communities left behind by the social services and health care systems. Providers describe this as “grunt work.” These three forms of marginality capture the reality of urban EMS work and showcase the unique view EMS providers have of American urban life. This prism includes a distinct experience with conflicts over space that impact their downtime and similar disputes over other areas that push patients with housing instability into the EMS system. While this work, and these conflicts, are the subject of much ridicule by EMS providers, I ultimately argue that the pre-hospital health care system needs to embrace its role in the social safety net. By leaning into this work, EMS providers are uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of community medicine.
The Ambulance Drivers Are Here!
Authors: Prener Christopher
Published: May 2023

Due to their skills in treating critically ill and injured patients, providers bristle at others’ understandings of EMS as a medical taxi service. The term “ambulance driver,” then, is met with hostility by providers at Private Ambulance. This chapter illustrates that EMS providers have significant discretion in their work but must repeatedly re-negotiate their professional expertise during their shifts as they encounter skeptical patients and other healthcare providers who do not understand the EMS system’s role. Providers must also contend with management, which utilizes digital surveillance tools to keep track of a highly mobile and geographically diffuse workforce.
Hurry Up and Wait
Authors: Prener Christopher
Published: May 2023

One of the overwhelming features of EMS work, even in the busiest EMS systems, is that providers spend a portion of their shifts in anticipatory readiness. During the downtime that punctuates the space between ambulance calls, providers do their best to try and relax, sleep, and pass the time. They run errands, get meals, and watch movies on their ubiquitous mobile devices. Finding a place to partake in these activities can be a challenge for EMS providers working in systems that do not utilize fixed stations. Private Ambulance providers must often occupy specific areas of the city to keep response times low and use on-street parking and loading zones for downtime. Their use brings them into conflict with local business owners who object to their presence and, in one notable case, succeed in evicting them from the neighborhood.
The Daily Grind of Grunt Work
Authors: Prener Christopher
Published: May 2023

In addition to the marginality of EMS as an institution and EMS work as providers experience it during shifts, this chapter describes the “grunt work” the EMS system engages in with patients who do not fit providers’ definitions of “real emergencies.” For example, ambulances are regularly called to patients experiencing mental health challenges, substance use, homelessness, and other challenges. Some of these patients, who providers dubbed “frequent fliers,” were regular users of the EMS system. This chapter frames the frequent flier phenomenon as a structural problem rather than the individual failing that providers see. In the wake of deinstitutionalization, the lack of community services meant that the EMS system is one of the most present health care systems. However, these patients’ presence conflicts with the frames that providers use to define the social deservingness of EMS resources.
Stigma and Space in Midtown
Authors: Prener Christopher
Published: May 2023

In Chapman, EMS providers’ “grunt work” concepts are spatialized. This chapter uses a qualitative GIS technique called sketch mapping to illustrate how providers’ perceptions of where their work takes place focus overwhelmingly on a neighborhood called “Midtown.” Their focus is strong enough that, compared to other measures of EMS work, they appear to overstate how frequently they respond to calls in Midtown. Providers’ focus reveals how stigmas related to patients and work become labels applied to entire neighborhoods. When providers hear that they are responding to a call in Midtown, they risk “getting burned” if they downplay the severity of the symptoms simply because of who the patient is and where the call is located.

Introduction
Authors: Ophir Adi M.
Published: May 2023

The God(s) of the Hebrew Bible use(s) lethal force excessively, harms the people he created, and destroys their lands, cities, and worlds. The Introduction poses the question of this violence and frames the way this book proposes to answer it: by mostly limiting itself to the violence described in the Pentateuch and reading God as a political figure and his violence as a mode of his governance and a key aspect of his rule. This rule, in its turn, is understood as a theopolitical construct at work at the level of political imagination, assuming three distinct theocratic formations, which are textually embedded in collections of narratives and legal proclamations. The chapter proposes to identify in the formative stage of editing these documents elements of thought experiments: in order to imagine divine rule, a certain space-time—the forty years’ journey through the wilderness—was evacuated from existing political institutions, placing every aspect of reality in the context of this rule, and grasping it from its perspective.
Theocracy: The Persistence of an Ancient Lacuna
Authors: Ophir Adi M.
Published: May 2023

The chapter discusses four examples from the long history of looking the other way when biblical divine violence is concerned: Josephus’ account of theocracy—the rule of (biblical) God—in Against Apion, along with theopolitical readings of the Hebrew Bible by three contemporary scholars: Regina Scwhartz, Michael Walzer, and Jan Assmann. The strategies of looking away are different, but the same blind spot recurs. From Josephus, however, the chapter draws the concept of attribution and demonstrates its necessity for the working of (theo)political imagination in any system of ruling. A brief discussion of one such system discussed by several biblical sources—kingship—leads to the book’s hypothesis: the Pentateuch’s priestly and Deuteronomists sources experimented with ideal-types of an alternative system, divine rule, which they sketched in a dystopian space, the no man’s land of the desert.
Holy Power: States of Exception, Targeted Killings, and the Logic of Substitution
Authors: Ophir Adi M.
Published: May 2023

The Pentateuch’s priestly sources are read here to reconstruct their theocracy, the rule of the holy. The concept of holiness is explicated and clearly differentiated from Agamben’s concept of the sacred. The spatialization of holiness, its gradations, purifications ritual, and the extreme danger associated with states of impurity and improper crossing from the common to the holy are interpreted as elements in a detailed biopolitical regime that sustains the priestly theocratic formation. Priests are placed at the most powerful positions but become extremely vulnerable, and Levites play a crucial role in the chain of substitution, which started with God’s sparing Israel’s first born in Egypt and ends in the daily sacrificial work at the sanctuary, and was the main priestly mechanism to curtail divine violence. The eruption and cunning administration of this violence are analysed on the basis of a detailed reading of the Korah’s rebellion (Numbers 16–18), which Benjamin made—wrongly, it is shown—his paradigm of divine violence.
The Pentateuchal State, and Ours
Authors: Ophir Adi M.
Published: May 2023

The final chapter spells out an urform shared by the Pentateuch’s three theocratic formations. They were formations of power which God and His people share and from which all others were excluded. This formation was constituted by its ruler and imposed on the ruled, and yet the ruler was in constant need of his subjects’ affirmation and recognition, which they often failed or refused to grant. Once constituted, this shared formation precedes and exceeds both ruler and ruled and could be reduced to either. How it came into being and how to keep it alive was a constant concern for the Pentateuch’s authors. This urform, the chapter argues, recurs in the formation of the modern state and is responsible for its deification. Like the Pentateuchal theocracies, the modern state embodies three monotheist components: monism, closure, and sanctity. Its critique should begin with acknowledging this repressed theological dimension and opening the horizon of political imagination for the coming of a global order of pagan states.
Impersonal Eliot
Authors: Goldberg Jonathan
Published: May 2023

This chapter first explores the modernist poetics of impersonality in “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” working from its reversed temporalities to a different form of poetic transmission of life suggested by Eliot’s chemical analogy that recalls Dante’s representations of male-male sodomy. Citation of unidentified lines from The Revenger’s Tragedy shows this process in an early modern text that Eliot adds as a new text in the canon and illustrates how a new art emotion is formed linking impersonal author, text, and reader. A citation from De Anima links individual minds to the possibility of a connection to a universal Mind. The chapter continues to “The Metaphysical Poets” for their union of thought and feeling in the creation of new wholes before a mid-seventeenth century dissociation in sensibility; the metaphysicals, especially John Donne, crossed boundaries between life and death, person and person, one and many, something and nothing, Being and Non-Being; they exemplify what modernist poets should do now. The chapter closes with Eliot's inclusion of John Dryden in this process and his ultimate repudiation of Donne, moving unified sensibility back to Dante and Christian belief.
Anonymous Woolf
Authors: Goldberg Jonathan
Published: May 2023

This chapter begins with A Room of One’s Own, focusing on Virginia Woolf’s response to definitions of women that subjugate them to men and that have erased any tradition of women’s writing (Eliot is implicitly addressed). She invents the figure of Judith Shakespeare, a fictional creation of an equal to her brother Will, who never existed therefore never died, and points to Anonymous as the name of early women writers. This double being is further designated as androgynous, crossing the boundary of gender and instantiating the possibility of creative life that is a human reality. The two volumes of The Common Reader, considered next, provide “common” as the term for this shared life and its manifestation in reading, a common reality beyond human individual existence. Her strange Elizabethans live in texts whose artifices nonetheless reveal creative capacities to live beyond prescriptive limits that efface the existence of women (men also, Shakespeare is androgynous) not bound by the patriarchy. Woolf moves to what she terms “moments of Being” that include what readers make of words that writers let live their own lives, ushering us into the worlds of anonymous being we inhabit and make.
Holy Envy
Authors: Shreiber Maeera Y.
Published: May 2023

This chapter begins by examining some of ways Jewish-Christian relations have been discussed, with an emphasis on the kinds of affect these interactions engendered. What was once described definitively as a “radical parting of the ways” has been subject to thorough-going revisions (e.g., Daniel Boyarin) that have produced much messier, highly charged accounts of this dynamic and often fraught interreligious relationship. Expanding on these accounts which have been largely conducted by theologians and historians, this study focuses on how literary texts—novels as well as poetry—illuminate the fissures and ruptures running throughout the Jewish Christian borderzone. The chapter includes discussions of the Jewish Jesus, of Henry Roth’s canonical novel Call It Sleep, and Sholem Asch’s controversial work The Nazarene, as well as analyses of some of Paul Celan’s and Jacob Glatstein’s most stirring works (concerning the Holocaust).
Coda: Holy Insecurity
Authors: Shreiber Maeera Y.
Published: May 2023

This study focuses on a host of emotions engendered by the Jewish Christian borderzone. Many of these intense reactions presume that each of these two religions are fully defined and discrete entities, each occupying a stable ground. To counter this perspective, and to suggest new ways of engaging this interreligious space, the book concludes with Martin Buber’s evocative locution “holy insecurity.” Discussions of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” as the site of a theological tug-of-war and of that controversial phenomenon sometimes known as “the Gentile Seder” (Passover ritual meals hosted by non-Jews) serve as two strong opportunities for critical analyses of Buber’s generative ideas.
Ghosts in the Courtroom
Authors: Ertür Başak
Published: May 2023

This chapter offers a close study of the fascinating 1921 Berlin trial of Soghomon Tehlirian—an Armenian survivor of the 1915 genocide—who assassinated Talât Pasha, the Ottoman statesman widely seen as the architect of the genocide. In Tehlirian’s trial, the political transpired as a shared state of haunting following the defendant’s introduction of the figure of a ghost, namely, the apparition of his mother who had perished in the genocide, and who, the defendant claimed, ordered him to kill Talât. The invocation of this singular ghost brought many other ghosts into the courtroom, haunting the trial in myriad ways. The chapter traces the signs of this collective state of haunting through a careful reading of the transcript. The chapter argues that the effect of the ghost in Tehlirian’s trial was to give form to the impossible recognition of that which would later be termed genocide. Tehlirian’s trial shows how performatives do not require self-presence in order to be felicitous; how the inadvertent, the ghostly, and the speculative come to inhabit legal forms; and how the political can assume spectral agency in law.
After Italian Totalitarianism
Authors: Baldasso Franco
Published: May 2023

This chapter challenges the assumption of a lack of debate about totalitarianism in Italy during the early postwar period. It explores the neglected contributions that instead situated the Italian case within the larger totalitarian paradigm. Texts such as The Totalitarian State (1947) by Vittorio Zincone, The Volga Rises in Europe (1943), and Das Kapital (1949) by Curzio Malaparte spelled out how faith in national palingenesis supported by technological modernity was at the core of the Fascist ideology of the new state and granted a widespread popular consensus. Such texts also took Stalin’s USSR into the totalitarian equation, in a period in which many European intellectuals were looking at Soviet Russia as the model for future society. Finally, the chapter retrieves the understudied contributions that Alberto Moravia published in the Liberation press, retracing the evolution of his thinking on totalitarianism. Between his pamphlet Hope: Communism and Christianity (1944) and Man as an End (1953, but written in 1946), Moravia develops coherent arguments against political utopias by pinpointing the “necessary violence” revolutionary practices have historically embraced.
Curzio Malaparte, a Tragic Modernity
Authors: Baldasso Franco
Published: May 2023

The chapter examines the controversial author Curzio Malaparte, who vividly described the Italian defeat as an integral component of the general collapse of European civilization. Usually dismissed for his Fascist past, Malaparte was a complex and nonconformist intellectual whose outstanding historical sensibility was rivaled only by his narcissism. As Milan Kundera contends, Malaparte invented with his best-known novels Kaputt (1944) and The Skin (1949) “a totally new form,” able to express the tragic contrast between the destructive power of modern technology and the fragility of creaturely life. With his representational prowess, Malaparte tackled one by one all the main questions of the debate surrounding recent Italian history: the rejection of Fascist cultural models, the unrestrained technological violence of the Nazi as well as of the Allied bombings, a critique of the centrality of the State and totalitarianism, the racial agenda of modern power, as well as the memory of the destruction of European Jewry.

This chapter explores John’s notion of divine and human persons, underscoring the ecstatic nature of divine life that enables divine persons to make room for one another, to make room for human persons, and for human persons, in turn, to make room for one another in God’s image. Ecstasy entails a journey of personal relationship, transformation, and communion. The chapter addresses this theology of interpersonal ecstasis, what is known as the divine perichoresis that characterises divine and human persons. From John’s writings, particularly his poems, the chapter underscores how this understanding of divine and human ecstasis carries implications for constructing a dynamic and fluid approach to divine and human persons in line with contemporary theological anthropologies, queer theologies, and queer desire. For John, to be human is to be a creature of desire, first and foremost an ansia, an innate desire to love, participate, and unite with God, and in God, to love and unite with human persons. Simply put, John’s teaching on mystical experience reveals the power of love and exalts the union with Jesus, the fusion between divine and human life.
Queering the God de Amor
Authors: Díaz Miguel H.
Published: May 2023

What might John’s God-talk yield today in light of insights from queer theologies? The turn to the bedroom and to expressions of love and of sexuality as loci theologici provides a point of entry to consider a queering of our God-talk and its implications not only for approaching divine mystery but for recognizing the image of God embodied in LGBTQ+ people. This chapter revisits John’s theology of God in terms of Godtalk, God’s self-communication, and divine and human ecstasis with an eye toward queering it in ways that enable us to know and name God as the queer God de amor. The chapter queers John’s God talk, exploring resonances between John’s mystical theology and contemporary queer theology. It challenges the implicit and explicit heteronormativity of amatory conceptions of God’s self-communication and turns to queer love as another expression and mediation of the self-communicative nature of divine love. The chapter engages the ecstasis of divine and human life in conversation with queer theology’s embrace of sexual subjects and sexuality as dynamic. Finally, the chapter revisits the itinerary of central themes in trinitarian theology discussed in this book to note sites missed and alternate roads that may yield new directions.
Conclusion
Authors: Díaz Miguel H.
Published: May 2023

The book concludes with a reflection on soteriology, underscoring the long-established theological principle: “what is not assumed is not saved.” The central claim this conclusion makes is that the oppression, marginalization, and violence that queer persons often expereince are life issues. Theologically speaking, this conclusion argues with the that if Christ does not mediate the omnisexual mystery of God, and by mediating this means a God inclusive of human experiences that can relate to persons on the basis of their gender identity and sexual orientation, then some members of the human family of God cannot be saved. The failure to address issues of queer sexuality and God in the past evidences that when it comes to soteriology, our “catholicity” and theological approaches to life have not been fully inclusive of all persons and issues of life.

В данной работе была оценена эффективная глубина зондирования водной среды сенсором на основе однослойной плоской катушки. Использован радиочастотный сенсор диапазона ~40–50 МГц с диаметром чувствительного элемента – плоской катушки ~8 мм. В качестве исследуемой среды были использованы размещаемые перед сенсором пластиковые кюветы, заполненные дистиллированной водой, количество которых последовательно увеличивалось. Измерялась частота сенсора в зависимости от количества размещаемых перед сенсором кювет. Выявлен характер изменения регистрируемой частоты сенсора в зависимости от толщины выбранного в качестве среды водного слоя.
In this work, the effective depth of sensing the aquatic environment by a sensor based on a single-layer flat coil was studied. A radiofrequency sensor of the ~40-50 MHz range with a diameter of the sensitive element (a flat coil) of ~8 mm was used. Plastic cuvettes filled with distilled water placed in front of the sensor were used as the test medium, the number of which was sequentially increased. The frequency of the sensor was measured depending on the number of cuvettes placed in front of the sensor. The character of changes in the registered frequency of the sensor depending on the thickness of the aqueous layer selected as the medium was revealed.

Экспериментально исследовано оптическое детектирование наносекундного лазерного импульса в прозрачных в ИК области ферромагнитних монокристаллах железо-иттриевого граната и иттриевого ортоферрита при комнатной температуре. В качестве источника электромагнитного излучения был использован линейно поляризованный неодимовый лазер (длина волны 1.06 мкм), работающий в режиме модуляции добротности. Длительность импульса составляла ∼20 нс, а пиковая мощность ∼10 МВт. Установлено, что ферромагнитный детектор обладает достаточным быстродействием для регистрации наносекундных импульсов. Амплитуда детектированного сигнала сильно зависит от внешнего поля намагничивания и хорошо коррелирует с нелинейностью кривой статической намагниченности используемого образца ферромагнитного кристалла.
The optical detection of a nanosecond laser pulse in transparent ferrimagnetic single crystals of yttrium iron garnet and yttrium orthoferrite in the IR range at room temperature was experimentally studied. A linearly polarized neodymium laser (wavelength 1.06 μm) operating in the Q-switched mode was used as the source of electromagnetic radiation. The pulse duration was about 20 ns, and the peak power ∼10 MW. It was found that the ferrimagnetic detector has sufficient response time to detect nanosecond laser pulses. The amplitude of the detected signal strongly depends on the external magnetic field, and correlates well with the nonlinearity of the static magnetization curve of the ferrimagnetic crystal sample used.
Векторные монохроматические дифракционные поля и поля зарядов в электродинамике
Authors: Балян М. К.
Published: May 2023

В предыдущих работах с помощью найденной векторной функции Грина электромагнитное поле в произвольным образом выбранном объеме представлено в векторной форме, включающей поверхностные и объемные интегралы. Поверхностные интегралы описывают дифракцию поля, создаваемого внешними по отношению к объему зарядами, а объемные интегралы описывают поля, создаваемые зарядами, движущимися внутри объема. В этой работе, в ранее найденных векторных формулах поля, перейдя к Фурье-образам, получены выражения для монохроматического электромагнитного поля. Получены также интегро-дифференциальные уравнения для монохроматического электромагнитного поля в немагнитной среде, в присутствии зарядов, совершающих заданное движение. С учетом того, что вместе учитываются как дифракционные поля, так и поля зарядов, совершающих заданное движение, а также поля индуцированных в среде зарядов, эти уравнения получены впервые. In previous works, using the found vector Green's function, the electromagnetic field in an arbitrarily chosen volume is represented in vector form using surface and volume integrals, with surface integrals describing the diffraction of the field created by charges external to the volume, and volume integrals describing the fields created by charges moving inside the volume. In this work, in these found vector formulas of the field, passing to Fourier images, expressions for a monochromatic electromagnetic field are obtained. Integrodifferential equations are also obtained for a monochromatic electromagnetic field in a non-magnetic medium, in the presence of charges with given motion. Since both diffraction fields and the fields of charges with given motion, as well as the fields of charges induced in the medium, are considered, these equations are obtained for the first time.
IMPACT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ON MENTAL HEALTH OF WOMEN: A QUALITATIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Artykbayeva A. Zh.
Published: May 2023

Women who had ever assaulted sexually encounter mental health sequelae and are in a greater risk of developing variety of diagnoses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and others. Mental health consequences closely related to characteristics of victims and assault, disclosures, help-seeking, and with the sociocultural factors in its broad meaning. Aim was to reveal different aspects in progress of spectrum of mental health disorders by thematic synthesis of qualitative literature on experiences of survivors and to reveal what are barriers to and facilitators of recovery.The whole process of identifying data encompass two processes. A mapping exercise and an in-depth review. All remaining data was reviewed in two steps: quality assessment and data extraction. Thematic synthesis is reached by investigating descriptive themes emerged before, and answering review questions. After all, all descriptive themes were framed into ecological model to ease explanations.After reviewing 3 databases and other reliable sources only 6 studies were revealed. All were included into further analysis. 11 subthemes and 2 themes were emerged, which were in causal relationships.This study has revealed that survivors of sexual violence pass through several branches of understanding the fact of rape, which include characteristics of assault itself, distancing, vulnerability, neglecting problem, reaction of family and society. After appreciation of all these factors comprehension of what happened come to their minds. Whereas it comes with whole set of consequences such as the range of mental health problems, social impairment, development of coping strategies, powerlessness, indecision to disclose and help-seeking.During analysis barriers and facilitators of recovery, such as different coping strategies, impact of disclosure to either formal or informal sources and influence of society in general were evaluated. This problem can be addressed on multiple levels. Recommendations are given.
Exploring resistance to Aphanomyces cochlioides in sugar beet
Authors: Rossi Valentina
Published: May 2023

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the two main sources of sucrose, second only to sugar cane, accounting for nearly 30% of sugar production worldwide. The viability of the crop is threatened by the attack of pathogens that cause various diseases, resulting in severe yield losses. The oomycete Aphanomyces cochlioides is one of the most important root pathogens in sugar beet due to its worldwide distribution and the ability to induce infection at any stage of the sugar beet lifecycle, causing both seedling damping-off and chronic root rot on mature roots. During the early phase of sugar beet cultivation, the infection can be controlled by chemical seed treatments. However, no major control strategies are available for the disease management in later stages during the growing season. An increased knowledge of the sugar beet responses to pathogen infection is required to find effective solutions to control the disease. The focus of this study was to enhance our understanding of the host-pathogen interactions. We explored A. cochlioides infection rates in different sugar beet genotypes by using molecular tools and confocal microscopy and we identified significant differences in the pathogen biomass between partially resistant and susceptible lines. Potential differences in sugar beet responses to different A. cochlioides isolates were also investigated through a transcriptomics study. Furthermore, the transcriptome analysis revealed a potential significant role for oxygen peroxide (H2O2) and cell wall modification in the defense mechanisms during A. cochlioides invasion. Candidate defense-genes were identified in the set of up-regulated transcripts of partially resistant plants. Lastly, we studied differences in the genetic resistance to damping-off and chronic root rot and we identified the genomic position of regions (quantitative trait loci) associated with damping-off resistance. Overall, the results of our research represent a valuable source for future studies to improve resistance breeding against A. cochlioides.
