miR-147b-modulated expression of vestigial regulates wing-morph differentiation in the bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi
Authors: Fan YJ , Li XX , Mohammed Abd Allah A. H. , Liu Y , Gao Xiwu
Published: May 2019

Background

The wing polyphenism occurs under crowding and nutrition-deficiency conditions in most aphid species. Although the influence of environmental factors on wing polyphenism of aphids have been extensively investigated, molecular mechanisms underlining wing-morph differentiation has not been fully understood.

Results

The expression levels of the twenty genes involved in wing patterning network were examined, and only vestigial (vg) showed significantly different expression levels in both whole-body and wall-body of third nymphal instars, with 5.4- and 16.14- fold higher in winged lines compared to wingless lines, respectively in Rhopalosiphum padi. Moreover, vg expressions were higher in winged aphids compared to that in wingless aphids of third, fourth instar nymphs and adults, and larger difference ratio were observed in third (21.38-fold) and fourth (20.91-fold) instar nymphs relative to adult (3.12-fold) between wing morphs. Suppression of vg using RNAi repressed the wing development of third winged morphs. Furthermore, modulation of miR-147b levels by microinjection of its mimics decreased vg expression levels and repressed wing development.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that vg is essential for wing development and that miR-147b modulates its expression. To our knowledge, our results provide an empirical evidence that miRNA is involved in the regulation of wing morphs in aphids.

Published: May 2019

Background: MYB transcription factors comprise one of the largest families in plant kingdom, which play a variety of functions in plant developmental processes and defence responses. However, it has not been systematically studied in Potato (Solanum tuberosum), which is the most important non-cereal crop world-wide.
Results: In the present study, a total of 108 StR2R3-MYB transcription factors were identified and further phylogenetically classified into 28 subfamilies, as supported by highly conserved gene structures and motifs. Collinearity analysis showed that the segmental duplication events played a crucial role in the expansion of StR2R3-MYB gene family. Synteny analysis indicated that 37 and 13 StR2R3-MYB genes were orthologous to Arabidopsis and wheat, respectively, and these gene pairs have evolved under strong purifying selection. RNA-seq data from different tissues and abiotic stresses revealed tissue-preferential and abiotic stress-responsive StR2R3-MYB genes. We further analyzed StR2R3-MYB genes might be involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis and drought stress by using RNA-seq data of pigmented tetraploid potato cultivars and drought-sensitive and -tolerant tetraploid potato cultivars under drought stress, respectively. Moreover, EAR motifs were found in 21 StR2R3-MYB proteins and 446 pairs of proteins were predicted to interact with 21 EAR motif-containing StR2R3-MYB proteins by constructing the interaction network with medium confidence (0.4). Additionally, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of the 21 EAR motif-containing StR2R3-MYB proteins was performed to further investigate their functions.
Conclusions: In this work, we systematically identified StR2R3-MYB genes by analyzing the potato genome sequence using a set of bioinformatics approaches. Genome-wide comparative analysis of StR2R3-MYB genes and their expression analysis identified members of this superfamily may be involved in tissue-specific development, anthocyanin biosynthesis and abiotic stress responses.

Published: May 2019

This study was carried out to evaulate the effects of different modified atmosphere packagings (MAPs) on quality characteristics of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. ‘Hayward’) during cold storage and shelf life. In the study, 4 different MAP were selected as Xtend, Aypek, Fresh and FreshPlus. Kiwifruit were stored at 0±0.5°C 90±5% RH during 180 days, and at 21°C, 70% RH for shelf life (5 days). MAP treatment significantly delayed weight loss of kiwifruit during cold storage. In all treatments firstly respiration rate increased, but it abruptly decreased after 60 days of cold storage and shelf life. With MAP treatment, L* value of skin color increased, whereas L* values of flesh decreased. Xtend and FreshPlus treatments retarded losses of fruit firmness. MAP treated-fruit has got higher the values of titratable acidity and vitamin C than control fruit. Results of study revealed that MAP treatments maintained fruit quality during cold storage and shelf life. But Aypek and Fresh MAP was more effective than other MAP treatments.

Published: May 2019

Alkaline enzymes obtained from microbial sources find numerous applications in different industrial processes and have commercial value. The aims of the study were to investigate the potential of two actinobacteria (Streptomyces sp. K16 and K19) isolated from Black Sea sediments to produce industrial alkaline enzymes and to characterize their activities under different chemical and physical conditions. The optimal incubation time for the production was determined as 96 h, and by using two actinobacteria respectively 7.91 and 7.94 U mL-1 of activities for amylases, 0.55 and 0.82 U mL-1 for lipases and 3.07 and 2.34 U mL-1 for proteases were obtained. The optimal pH and temperature values for the enzymes were found to be pH 8.0 and 37°C. All the enzymes exhibited stability in different quantities after the incubation at pH values ranging from 3.0 and 10.0 for 2 h. On the other hand, the lipases remained stable up to 50°C although the amylases and proteases showed stability in varying ratios after 2 h incubation under the tested temperatures. In the light of the findings, the actinobacteria and their enzymes are thought to have potential for further studies.

Published: May 2019

Cocos nucifera (L.) (Arecaceae) is commonly called the ‘‘coconut tree’’ and is the most naturally widespread fruit plant on Earth. Throughout history, humans have used medicinal plants therapeutically, and minerals, plants, and animals have traditionally been the main sources of drugs. The objective in the present study was to screen the phytochemical profile and pharmacological activities of methanolic extract of coconut leaves. To investigate pharmacological activities DPPH scavenging assay and HRBC membrane stabilization methods were performed for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential respectively. The phytochemical analysis of methanolic extract of coconut leaves showed that they contained significant presence of flavonoids, phenols , saponins, terpenoids and triterpenes. Alkaloids, glycosides and tannins are also moderately present. Quantitative evaluations show significant presence of phenols which was more than tannin content. The pharmacological studies revealed that the plant extracts may have significant antioxidant effect which is probably mediated by inhibition of DPPH free radical. The IC50 values by DPPH scavenging assay observed for standard and leaves were 97.29µg/ml and 486.78µg/ml respectively. Thus, this plant extracts have significant antioxidant effect. It also had moderate anti-inflammatory activity. The IC50 values for anti-inflammatory activity by standard and coconut leaves were 21.46 µg/ml and 831.21 µg/ml respectively. These findings suggest that Cocos nucifera (L.) may be a possible source for the development of a newanti-inflammatory drug.

Published: May 2019

Chronic periodentitis is a quite common disease in adult patients characterized by pocket formation and/or recession while progressive loss of periodontal attachment occurs slowly to moderately local risk factors, e.g. bacterial plaque. Wide array of microorganisms have been associated with periodontal disease, out of which Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) have been predominantly associated with periodontal diseases. The objectives of this study were to determine phototoxic effect of visible blue light on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis clinical isolates from chronic periodentitis patients, and to study their antibiotic sensitivity against selected antibiotics. The test was carried out on 15 strains of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and 15 strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis isolated from pockets of chronic periodentitis patients aged between 30-50 years old with pocket depths of 5-6 mm. The bacteria cultured, isolated, and identified by standard bacteriological methods, then subjected to visible blue light at different periods of time exposures. After light exposure, the bacterial killing rates were calculated from colony forming unit (CFU) counts after 48hours of anaerobic incubation. There was a decrease in CFU for both microorganisms as we proceeded from zero, 20, 40 and 60 seconds of blue light exposure. In conclusions, there was a phototoxic effect for the visible blue light emitted from the light curing device against the anaerobic periodontal pathogens and blue light exposure is effective in reducing periodontal pathogens. It is recommended that an adjunctive exogenous photosensitizer be used and that pathogens be exposed to visible light for clinical antimicrobial periodontal therapy.

Published: May 2019

In Europe, salvage-logging is a common management activity to partially recover economic value from wind disturbed forests. In the near future, wind damage to forests is predicted to increase due to climate change. Therefore, an economic assessment of wind damage effects on recovered timber value is useful information in the decision-making process. In this study, we aim to assess the influence of different stem damage heights on the monetary value of recovered timber. We simulated stem breakage at three heights for the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.): 3, 5, and 7 m. For comparison, we used an uprooted tree without stem breakage. Our results revealed that the most negative influence on the recovered timber value was stem breakage at 3 m, which decreased the monetary value by 35%. The stem breakage at 5 and 7 m decreased the recovered timber value by 9–10%. Over the analysed period (2006–2017), no significant differences in the monetary value of the recovered timber were found between uprooted lumber and stems with breakage at 5 and 7 m. The price fluctuations in the market have a significant influence on the recovered timber value, which might cause a larger decrease in monetary value than stem breakage.

Published: May 2019

The long-term (50 years) effect of whole-tree harvesting (stump harvesting) on ground vegetation in experimental drained Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) stands was studied. We used a chronosequence approach to assess the long-term impact of whole-tree harvesting (WTH) on stands’ ground vegetation. WTH stands were compared with four control stands with different age and with the same forest type: young stand (15 years), middle-aged stand (45 years), mature stand (110 years) and over-mature stand (140 years). Species richness was similar between the WTH stand and middle-aged stand (61 and 60 species, respectively). Shannon-Wiener diversity indices in the WTH and middle-aged stand (3.40 and 3.19, respectively) indicated that the stands were similar to each other. A community similarity analysis showed that the composition of vegetation was similar between the WTH and middle-aged stand, although some species like Lycopodium clavatum and Diphasiastrum complanatum occurred only in the WTH stand. The study showed that a period of 50 years is sufficient for ground vegetation of a typical drained spruce forest to recover after WTH management.

Published: May 2019

Diverse structural elements play an important role in sustaining biodiversity in old-growth forests. Therefore, it is important to have thorough knowledge about these habitats and their condition in protected areas. Metsakorralduse Büroo OÜ conducted a large-scale Natura 2000 forest habitat inventory that covered 60% of Lahemaa National Park (LNP) area. Western taiga habitat data (7,191 ha) from this inventory was used for analysis of forest stages. The data was grouped according to stand classes by total area and these classes were compared by deadwood occurrence and relative density. For more precise evaluation of coarse woody debris (CWD) we used 27 sample plots from the Estonian Network of Forest Research Plots (ENFRP) located in LNP. The biggest areas of Western taiga habitat were covered by mature and old stages. CWD occurrence (over 5 m3ha−1 of snags and logs) by habitat representativeness is higher in old and natural forest classes. This logical result is overshadowed by the outcome that the CWD was not substantially present on 32% of the area in the old-growth forest class. This indicates that these areas lack the potential of biological legacies to provide critical niche habitats for different species. The study shows that the CWD quantity in Estonian conditions is similar to that reported in previous studies in this region, but because many of the older forest stage classes do not have any CWD present, these areas should include ecological restoration practices in their conservation planning. By creating snags, logs and gaps in these areas, we are able to create better structural variability and include wood into different decay processes.
The effect of planting stock and soil scarification on forest regeneration
Authors: Jäärats Andres , Tullus Arvo
Published: May 2019

The present research is a comparative analysis of how the main quality indices of containerized and barerooted coniferous (Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)) planting stock conform to the existing standards in Estonia, how the plantation development depends on planting stock and natural regeneration on soil scarification. The height of Scots pine containerized seedlings exceeded that of barerooted seedlings by 20%. The height of barerooted Norway spruce transplants exceeded that of containerized seedlings by 19%. The root-collar diameter of containerized pine stock formed 70% and the corresponding index of containerized spruce stock formed 48% of the diameter of the barerooted plants of the same species. Typically, containerized plants had better initial growth increment during the first two to three years after planting but this difference disappeared during the latter years. The growth of Scots pine barerooted and containerized seedlings was similar, while the growth of Norway spruce containerized seedlings was slightly inferior compared to barerooted plants. Survival of both test species was independent of planting stock used. After clear-cutting, certain areas of peatland and mineral areas were disc-trenched and inventoried at the end of the first growing season. The number of all woody plants was determined by microsites – untreated area, furrow, slope, and ridge. The same inventory was repeated 11 growing seasons later. After 11 growth years, a large number of Scots pine trees was found in Rhodococcum, Oxalis and Vaccinium myrtillus site types and drained peatlands. The number of pine plants on microsites on mineral soil was the greatest in furrows and on slopes (34% and 30%), and on peat soil on furrows and in untreated areas (47% and 53%). The number of naturally regenerated Norway spruce trees was the largest in Vaccinium myrtillus, Oxalis-Rhodococcum and Oxalis site types. With regard to microsites, spruce plants were the most abundant in furrows and ridges on mineral soil (31% and 24%) and in untreated areas and on slopes on peat soil (46% and 42%).

Program Kota Tanpa Kumuh (KOTAKU) adalah satu dari sejumlah upaya strategis Direktorat Jenderal Cipta Karya Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat untuk mempercepat penanganan permukiman kumuh di Indonesia, dengan menggunakan 7 indikator pengukuran tingkat kekumuhan, namun setiap indikator permukiman kumuh belum memiliki bobot yang jelas karena bobot kriteria yang digunakan masih bersifat subjektif. Perbandingan dilakukan dengan memberikan bobot untuk 7 indikator kekumuhan yang ada dengan menggunakan metode Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Output yang nantinya akan dihasilkan dari penelitian ini adalah hasil analisis spasial berupa peta permukiman kumuh, yang menggunakan metode klasifikasi natural breaks dengah kategori tidak kumuh, kumuh sedang, kumuh berat pada Kota Magelang serta perbandingan antara hasil pengolahan AHP dengan data dari KOTAKU. Menggunakan indikator kondisi bangunan gedung sebagai indikator yang paling mempengaruhi kondisi kekumuhan yang di susul dengan kondisi penyediaan air minum, kondisi pengelolaan air limbah, kondisi pengelolaan persampahan, kondisi jalan permukiman, kondisi proteksi kebakaran, dan kondisi drainase. Pada perbandingan tersebut terdapat 49 RT-RW yang memiliki status kumuh berat, 119 RT-RW yang memiliki status kumuh sedang dan sisanya dalam kondisi tidak kumuh.

Assessment of karst hazard in engineering surveys: a review of Russian regulatory technical documents
Authors: Elkin V. A.
Published: May 2019

Engineering surveys are a required part of the construction activity in accordance with the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation No. 190-FZ of December 29, 2004 and the Technical Regulations on the Safety of Buildings and Structures No. 384-ФЗ of December 30, 2009.

The analysis of domestic regulatory technical documents containing the terms, requirements for the composition, volume and methods of studying hazardous territories is presented. Requirements for engineering surveys in karst development areas are most fully set out in SP 11-105-97 (Part II); TCH 302-50-95 RB; TSN 22-308-98 NN; TSN 11-301-2004Po, which are currently not valid. Issues of terminology are considered, problems in determining the normative indicators (sinkhole formation intensity and average diameter of karst sinkhole) are covered during the karst hazard assessment, in accordance with SP 11-105-97 (Part II). It is noted that it is necessary to make changes to a number of regulatory technical documents to eliminate contradictions and inconsistencies, especially in SP 22.13330.2016 "SNiP 2.02.01-83* Foundations of buildings and structures", SP 116.13330.2012 "SNiP 22-02-2003 Engineering Protection of Territories, buildings and structures from hazardous geological processes. Fundamental principles". The need to develop a new set of rules for the implementation of engineering surveys for construction on karst territories, in which it is supposed to take into account regional features of engineering surveys, is shown. It is proposed to take SP 11-105-97 (Part II) as a basis, in which the composition and volume of engineering and geological surveys are described in most detail and have not lost their relevance to the present.
