Perceptual learning improves visual functions in patients with albinistic bilateral amblyopia: A pilot study
Authors: Battaglini Luca , Oletto Carolina Maria , Contemori Giulio , Barollo Michele , Ciavarelli Ambra , Casco Clara 
Published: February 2021

Background: Several visual functions are impaired in patients with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) associated to albinistic bilateral amblyopia (ABA). Objective: In this study, we aimed at exploring whether perceptual learning (PL) can improve visual functions in albinism. Method: Six patients and six normal sighted controls, were trained in a contrast detection task with lateral masking. Participants were asked to choose which of the two intervals contained a foveally presented low-contrast Gabor patch. Targets were presented between higher contrast collinear flankers with equal spatial frequency. When increasing target-to-flanker distance, lateral interactions effect normally switches from inhibition to facilitation, up to no effect. Results: Our findings showed that before PL, only controls showed facilitation. After PL, results suggest that facilitatory lateral interactions are found both in controls as well as in albino patients. These results suggest that PL could induce higher processing efficiency at early cortical level. Moreover, PL positive effect seems to transfer to higher-level visual functions, but results were not very consistent among tasks (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity function, hyperacuity and foveal crowding). Conclusions: Although a small sample size was tested, our findings suggest a rehabilitative potential of PL in improving visual functions in albinism.
New Plants for Florida: Introduction
Authors: Jones Richard L. , Duryea Mary , Treat Berry J. 
Published: February 2021

New plants developed at the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station (FAES) have been vital to the state’s agricultural industries and to consumers here and throughout the country and the world. New crop varieties are developed through research led and conducted by plant breeders with cooperation from scientists in other agricultural disciplines. These varieties may have higher yield; they may be more resistant to pests, or they may be healthier for consumers. Almost every crop variety grown in Florida came from plant breeding programs atFAES.

New Plants for Florida: Stone Fruit
Authors: Jones Richard L. , Duryea Mary , Treat Berry J. , Sherman Wayne 
Published: February 2021

Peach, nectarine, plum, apricot and cherry are called stone fruit because of their central hard pit. Because of Florida’s warm climate, breeding programs for stone fruit have focused on developing “low-chill” varieties –those that can grow and produce fruit with very few hours of chilling or cold weather in the winter. Florida’s low-chill stone fruit breeding program was initiated in the early 1950s and has succeeded thanks to two plant breeders, Ralph Sharpe and Wayne Sherman.

Chilling Injury of Grapefruit and its Control
Authors: Ritenour Mark A. , Dou Huating , McCollum Greg T. 
Published: February 2021

Chilling injury (CI) is a physiological disorder that is occasionally reported on fresh citrus shipments from Florida. It is most often characterized by areas of the peel that collapse and darken to form pits. Pitting is not targeted to the oil glands. Less severe symptoms may show up as circular or arched areas of discoloration or scalding. Packers and shippers should keep in mind several factors that influence if and to what degree grapefruit develop CI.

Blossom-End Clearing of Grapefruit
Authors: Ritenour Mark A. , Dou Huating , Etxeberria Ed 
Published: February 2021

Blossom-end clearing (BEC) is characterized by the translucent, watersoaked appearance of the fruit peel (most commonly at the blossom end) caused by internal bruising and juice leakage from juice vesicles. Juice vesicles in the bruised areas usually have a gray tinge compared with unbruised tissue, and BEC-affected fruit develop offflavors. BEC is visible within 24 hours after bruising (often much earlier) and can affect up to 90% of the fruit in some loads. Decay, in particular mold, often develops in areas with BEC symptoms. BEC has also been referred as “wet bottoms,” “stylar-end clearing,” “water bottom,” “waterlog,” and “wet wick.” This document is HS937, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Tessellated Scale, Ecualymnatus tessellatus (Signoret) (Insecta: Homoptera: Coccidae)
Authors: Dekle G. W. 
Published: February 2021

Tessellated or palm scale is a soft scale that was first described in France by V. Signoret in 1873 from specimens collected on a palm he reported as Caryota ursus. The genus Eucalymnatus, according to Borchsenius (1957), contains 17 species; two species are Ethiopian in origin and the remainder neotropical. Borchsenius (1957) considers E. tessellatus (Sign.) probably South American in origin and disseminated by man to all parts of the world on its cultivated hosts.

Ranching is important to Florida's economy and environment. Of Florida's 34.5-plus million acres of land, 10.2 million acres were utilized for farmland in 2003, with the majority partially or totally used for cattle production. Cattle production contributed more than $348 million to the state's economy in 2003. Ranching helps protect water resources, provides natural greenways for wildlife and recreation, and preserves many components of the natural landscape. Both the environmental and economical health of ranching are therefore critical to the state's citizens.
