Root Protein Quantity and Quality in a Seedling Population of Sweet Potatoes
Authors: Dickey Lynn F. , Collins Wanda W. , Young Clyde T. , Walter William M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A population of 100 sweet potato seedlings from 7 parent clones was grown for one season in order to evaluate root protein quantity and quality. Protein content of the 100 seedlings ranged from 4.38% to 8.98% with a mean of 6.29%; the 7 parents ranged from 4.96% to 6.53% with a mean of 5.72%. The mean of the seedlings was not significantly different from that of the parents. The 10 seedlings with highest protein (7.40% to 8.98%) were selected for further study of protein quality. Levels of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) in these high protein selections were not significantly different from those of the parents. The correlation between the percentage of protein and the percentage of NPN was low (r = 0.30). The amino acid pattern in the high protein selections differed significantly from the parents with lower levels of valine, cysteine, methionine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. Trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) levels in the selected seedlings did not vary significantly from the parents. TIA and the percentage of protein were not significantly correlated (r = 0.15). The results indicate it is possible to obtain high protein cultivars without increasing the percentages of NPN and TIA. With the exception of valine, the aromatic and sulfur-containing amino acids, the overall protein quality was not changed in the seedlings with increased protein content.
Hybridization of Liliaceae: Overcoming Self-incompatibility and Incongruity
Authors: Wolf Susan T. , Van Tuyl Jaap M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Using the irradiated mentor-pollen or the irradiated pioneer-pollen technique, self-incompatible pollinations of Lilium longiflorum ‘White Europe’ Thunb. produced more seed than a single application of self-incompatible pollen at 18°C; however, at temperatures of 22° and 26° these techniques did not consistently produce more seed than single self-incompatible pollinations. Application of these methods to overcome incongruity in L. l. ‘White Europe’ x L. hybrid ‘Enchantment’ produced a few embryos.

Abstract
‘La White’ peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] was released to provide a 600-700 hr chilling requirement, low acid, white flesh cultivar adapted to conditions in southeastern Louisiana. ‘La White’ produces a heavy crop of medium to large semi-freestone fruit that ripen 27 days before ‘Elberta’ or about 18 June in southeastern Louisiana.
‘Andromeda’ and ‘Golden Torch’ Heliconias
Authors: Broschat Timothy K. , Donselman Henry M. , Will Albert A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The genus Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) includes a number of species showing potential as commercial cut flower crops (1). H. Psittacorum and some of its hybrids (e.g., ‘Golden Torch’) are particularly promising because of their attractive flowers, long straight clean peduncles, prolific year round flower production, excellent postharvest characteristics, and few pest problems. The inflorescences can be used in a manner similar to those of bird-of-paradise (Strelitzia reginae), but they are less massive and are therefore, easily incorporated into smaller floral arrangements.
Horticultural Restorations

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The United States has a rich and varied heritage. Beginning with the early settlements of Jamestown, Va., Plymouth, Mass., and St. Augustine, Fla., we have been influenced by a great diversity of climates, natural resources, ethnic populations, and foreign inputs. These influences and their products are well-documented in the traditional artifacts collected in museums: art, furniture, craftwork, and impliments. In communities across this nation many old buildings have been restored and furnished with the help of existing historical records. The desire for accuracy in such an undertaking extends to a need for historically accurate landscaping as well as architecture and furnishings. Horticultural restoration is of increasing interest and concern.
Alternative Methods of Funding Vegetable Research
Authors: Pike Leonard M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Many vegetable research scientists in public service need additional funds above those provided by normal budgeting within their agencies to maintain productive programs. In some instances, programs receive little more than the salary for the scientist. Fortunately, my vegetable breeding projects are well funded at Texas A&M compared to many other university programs. Yet the needs of the Texas vegetable industry are great since the state is experiencing rapid growth in vegetable production. As a result, our research programs must be broad in scope, efficient, and productive to meet these needs. Therefore, additional funding has been needed to develop and maintain these large research projects. Alternative methods for funding research were investigated and pursued and resulted in excellent success, as over $700 thousand dollars have been obtained from outside sources during the past 10 years.
Simulated Pest Injury Effects Photosynthesis and Transpiration of Apple Leaves
Authors: Jia-Rui Li , Proctor J. T. A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Simulated pest injury to expanding or fully expanded apple leaves (Malus domestica Borkh. ‘McIntosh’) by midrib cutting, lamina pricking, or heat injury from ironing reduced net photosynthesis (Pn). Only cutting of the basal half of the midrib of fully expanded leaves reduced transpiration (Tr). Application of gibberellic acid (GA3), and particularly of 6 benzylamino purine (BA), to lamina lesions damaged by pricking, stimulated Pn. This Pn compensation of injured apple leaves mediated by phytohormones may overcome otherwise damaging levels of some pests.
Irrigation, Mulch, and Double Row Planting Related to Fruit Size and Yield of ‘Bounty’ Strawberry
Authors: Blatt C. R. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. ‘Bounty’) were planted in a loamy sand soil and grown in single or double rows with and without irrigation and a black copolymer film mulch in all combinations for 3 cropping seasons. Total marketable yield was increased significantly by mulch and double rows only in the 1st cropping season. Irrigation was the most important practice in the last 2 cropping seasons, increasing both fruit size and total yield.
Evaluation of Lisianthus as a New Flower Crop
Authors: Halevy Abraham H. , Kofranek Anton M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Hybrid lisianthus [Eustoma grandiflora (Raf.) Shinn.] was evaluated as cut flower and flowering pot plants. Lisianthus is a day neutral summer blooming plant blooming earlier at high growing temperatures (18°/26°C night/day) than at low temperatures. It is a slow growing plant, requiring about 5 to 6 months from sowing to flowering. Forcing period is about 2 months. Three color variants are available: blue, pink, and white. Only the blue and white are suitable as cut flowers. About 3 cut flower stems are produced per plant in the 1st harvesting cycle, and retaining the plant for a 2nd crop is considered uneconomical. Keeping quality of the cut flowers can be improved by pulsing for 24 hr with a solution containing 5% to 10% sugar, and desirable blue and pink pot plants were obtained by spraying with butanedioic mono-2.2-dimethylhydrazide (daminozide, B-Nine). The white cultivar did not respond to daminozide but did respond to soil application of a-cyclopropyl-a-(p-methyoxyphenyl)-5-pyrimedine methyl (ancymidol). Flowering pot plants should be grown in the greenhouse until about half of the flower buds on the plants open, since buds do not develop properly under home conditions.

(common bean) ‘Black Turtle’ and ‘Pinto’ differed in 2 major cotyledonary electrophoretic bands. ‘Black Turtle’ contained a 35,000 dalton band whereas ‘Pinto’ contained 28,000 dalton band. Both polypeptides were present in the F1 and segregated in the F2 with a 3 present: 1 absent frequency. No segregation differences were observed between reciprocal crosses.
Propagation Methods Influence Asparagus Transplant Quality and Seedling Growth
Authors: Dufault Robert J. , Waters Luther 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In 3 separate experiments, the effects of container types, transplant age, and growing media on asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) transplant quality were determined. These transplants then were field planted to determine the effects of propagation methods on plant growth after one growing season. Transplants grown for 10 weeks in deep peat pots (10 cm deep, 177 cm3, and 364 plants/m2) produced crowns and fern of higher fresh and dry weight than other containers (ranging in depth from 5.5 to 7.6 cm, in volume from 53 to 186 cm3, and plant density/m2 from 277 to 1624). Shoot and root growth of 7-, 8.5-, and 10-week-old transplants (grown in identical containers) were similar, but crown fresh and dry weight were reduced for 6-week-old transplants. Ten-week-old transplants originally broadcast-seeded in flats of 1 vermiculite: 1 peat medium (v:v) produced more roots, buds, shoots and fern and crowns of greater fresh and dry weight than those grown in 1 peat : 1 perlite or 1 perlite : 1 vermiculite media. At the end of the growing season, plants originally grown in deep peat pots were superior in number of shoots and fleshy roots, and crown and fern dry weight to those grown in other container types, to transplants of various ages, and to bareroot transplants.
Alternation by High Temperature of Auxin and Gibberellin Concentrations in the Floral Buds, Flowers, and Young Fruit of Tomato
Authors: Kuo C. G. , Tsai C. T. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Levels of auxin- and gibberellin (GA)-like substances were analyzed in floral buds, open flowers, and developing fruit of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) subjected to 38°C for 5 hr. The levels of these substances were lowest at anthesis. The levels of GA-like substances in all analyses were lower than those of auxin-like substances. High temperature treatment decreased the levels of both substances, especially in floral buds and developing fruit.
Protection of Fluid-drilled Tomato Seedlings against Damping-off by Fungicide Incorporation in a Gel Carrier
Authors: Giammichele Laurel A. , Pill Wallace G. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Metalaxyl, etridiazole, and captan were incorporated at 0, 50, 450, and 850 mg active ingredient per liter of magnesium silicate (Laponite 445) gel to ascertain fungicide efficacy in controlling damping-off [Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitzp.] in fluid-drilled ‘Heinz 1350’ tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Metalaxyl and etridiazole at 50 and 450 mg a.i./liter, respectively, gave percentage emergence values in infested growth media equal to those in control media. Captan at 850 mg a.i./liter gave lower percentage emergence values in Pythium-infested media than in control media. Thus, damping-off control efficacy was in the order metalaxyl > etridiazole > captan. Seedling growth reflected fungicide efficacy in controlling Pythium, since plant fresh weight and infection index values were inversely related. Fungicides incorporated in gel were nonphy to toxic.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
‘Jerseyglo’ is a large, firm yellow-fleshed freestone peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] for the fresh market. The fruit ripens with ‘Jerseyqueen’, ‘Redskin’, and ‘Elberta’. It was named and released in 1979 in order to provide a large, attractive, firm-fleshed peach in this season with moderate levels of flower bud hardiness and resistance to bacterial spot [Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni (Smith) Young et at.]. ‘Jerseyglo’ is recommended as a replacement for ‘Jerseyqueen’.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in an Adult After COVID-19 Vaccination
Authors: Chien Kevin , Duffett Lisa , Scarvelis Dimitrios 
Published: October 2022

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) is a hyperinflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19, for which our understanding of diagnosis and treatment continues to evolve. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman with fever, fatigue, and general malaise with pancytopenia and significantly elevated inflammatory markers 3½ weeks after the first dose of her Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine consistent with MIS-A post-vaccination. Most cases of MIS-A have been associated with previous COVID-19 infection, but our case highlights that MIS-A is a potentially rare adverse event post-vaccination, even in individuals without previous COVID-19 infection.
RésuméLe syndrome inflammatoire multisystémique chez les adultes (SIM-A) est un syndrome hyperinflammatoire associé à la COVID-19 pour lequel notre compréhension du diagnostic et du traitement ne cesse d’évoluer. Nous rapportons le cas d’une femme de 62 ans éprouvant de la fièvre, de la fatigue et un malaise général qui a présenté une pancytopénie et une élévation considérable des marqueurs inflammatoires trois semaines et demie après avoir reçu sa première dose du vaccin contre la COVID-19 de Pfizer-BioNTech, ce qui corre-spond à un SIM-A post-vaccination. La plupart des cas de SIM-A sont associés à une infection antérieure à la COVID-19, mais ce cas précis met en évidence que le SIM-A est un événement indésirable potentiel rare qui survient après la vaccination, même chez les personnes qui n’ont jamais contracté la COVID-19.
Évaluation de la pertinence de l’application de l’algorithme d’estimation du risque cardiaque périopératoire de la Société canadienne de cardiologie publié en 2016 chez les patients subissant une chirurgie élective non cardiaque avec insuffisance rénale chronique de stade 3b et plus

RésuméEn 2016, la Société canadienne de cardiologie (SCC) a publié de nouvelles lignes directrices périopératoires s’appliquant aux patients qui doivent subir une intervention chirurgicale non cardiaque. Elle propose, entre autres, un algorithme décisionnel d’estimation du risque cardiaque périopératoire et de surveillance post-opératoire chez les patients subissant une chirurgie élective non cardiaque. Or, cet algorithme pourrait être moins pertinent à appliquer chez les patients avec une insuffisance rénale chronique (IRC) de stade 3b et plus (débit de filtration glomérulaire estimé (DGFe) < 45 mL/min/1,73m2) subissant une chirurgie élective non cardiaque. De fait, dans la présente étude, 145 sur 249 patients avec une IRC de stade 3b et plus, soit 58,2% (IC 95% : 51%–64%, p = 0,011) ont présenté un dosage préopératoire de NT-proBNP ≥ 300 mg/L. Parmi ces patients, 71,0% ont eu un dosage de troponines postopératoire complété. Bien que 24,3% d’entre eux aient subi un Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS), seulement 7,8% de ces patients ont bénéficié d’une intensification de leur thérapie antiplaquettaire ou hypolipidémiante afin de réduire leur mortalité à 30 jours postopératoire. La pertinence de l’application de cet algorithme décisionnel pourrait donc être remise en question chez les patients avec une IRC de stade 3b et plus, notamment quant au rapport coût-avantage.
AbstractIn 2016, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) released new perioperative guidelines for patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The guidelines push on, among other things, a tree algorithm allowing estimation of perioperative cardiac risk and postoperative monitoring in patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery. However, little is known about applying this algorithm to patients with stages 3b-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing elective noncardiac surgery. In fact, the present study shows that 145 out of 249 patients with stages 3b-5 CKD (58.2% [95% CI: 51%-64%, p = 0.011]) presented preoperative NT-proBNP levels ≥ 300 mg/L. Of these 145 patients, 103 participants (71.0%) had a postoperative troponin measurement. Although 25 patients (24.3%) of the latter underwent myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), only 8 patients (7.8%) benefited from a treatment intensification of their antiplatelet or lipid-lowering therapy to reduce mortality within 30 days following surgery. The CCS’ algorithm’s relevance can therefore be called into question in patients with stages 3b-5 CKD, particularly in regard to the benefit-cost ratio.

Limited English proficiency (LEP) affects many Canadians. Patients with LEP are at high risk of medical error, readmission, and increased length of stay. We report on the case of a 66-year-old male with LEP and a diagnosis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency associated hemolysis, and how the language barrier affected his care. Using our case as an example, we describe trends in the LEP literature in the inpatient setting, its effects on patient care and the evidence surrounding the use of point of care interpretation.

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Objective</strong>: To examine the effect of different patterns of durable glycemic control on the development of comorbidities among youth with type 2 diabetes and to assess the impact of fasting glucose variability on the clinical course of type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p><strong>Research Design and Methods</strong>: 457 TODAY participants, mean age 14 years and diabetes duration <2 years at entry, and a minimum study follow-up of 10 years were included in these analyses. HbA1c, fasting glucose concentrations, and beta-cell function estimates from oral glucose tolerance tests were measured longitudinally. Prevalence of comorbidities by glycemic control status after 10 years in the TODAY study was assessed.</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong>: Higher baseline HbA1c concentration, lower beta-cell function, and maternal history of diabetes were strongly associated with loss of glycemic control in youth with type 2 diabetes. Higher cumulative HbA1c concentration over 4 years and greater fasting glucose variability over a year’s time within 3 years of diagnosis were related to higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, nephropathy, and retinopathy progression over the subsequent 10 years. A coefficient of variability in fasting glucose at or above 8.3% predicted future loss of glycemic control and development of comorbidities.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Higher baseline HbA1c concentration and fasting glucose variability during year 1 accurately predicted youth with type 2 diabetes who will experience metabolic decompensation and comorbidities and may be useful tools for clinicians when considering early intensification of therapy.</p>
religião cristã em perspectiva pós-moderna
Authors: Gomiero Natã Luís Raphael Vicente , Lopes Gonçalves Paulo Sérgio 
Published: October 2022

Objetiva-se neste artigo, analisar teoricamente a religião cristã em perspectiva pós-moderna, presente no diálogo realizado entre o pensador Gianni Vattimo e René Girard. Justifica-se o nosso objetivo, a categoria pós-moderna cunhada a partir das considerações de Gianni Vattimo, em que “pensiero debole” e cristianismo não religioso, delineiam um novo cenário epistemológico. Pós-modernidade então, não se configura em desenlace com a fé cristã, mas é a autorrealização desta religião. O pensamento de Vattimo é recepcionado pelo francês René Girard, que a partir de sua teoria mimética e estudo acerca do sentido do sacrifício nas grandes culturas humanas, desenvolve novas considerações para a religião cristã, realçando sua originalidade de cunho antropológico. Não obstante, a caridade cristã, para ambos autores, se sobrepõe a qualquer interpretação institucional da fé e é o elemento nuclear do processo revelatório de Deus em Jesus Cristo. Por isso, nos cabe a pergunta: basta ao cristianismo ser uma religião de caridade para configurar-se como verdadeira religião. Para responder essa pergunta e visando atingir o objetivo proposto, tomar-se-á como objeto material o diálogo entre esses pensadores, presente na obra Cristianismo e Relativismo, a obra Crer que se crê de Gianni Vattimo, a obra O Bode expiatório de René Girard e comentadores do assunto.
