Abstract
Background
Necroptosis plays an important role in tumor genesis and progression. Long non-coding RNAs (IncRNAs) have been proven a regulatory factor of necroptosis in various tumors. However, the real role of necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRLs) and their potential to predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) remain largely unclear.
Methods
178 PC patients' RNA sequencing data and clinical profiles were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. NRLs were identified using Pearson correlation analysis. Then, patients were divided into the training set and the validation set at a 1 : 1 ratio. Subsequently, Cox and LASSO regression analyses were conducted to establish a prognostic NRLs signature in the training set and validation set. The predictive efficacy of the 5-NRLs signature was assessed by survival analysis, nomogram, COX regression, clinicopathological features correlation analysis, and the operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Furthermore, correlations between the risk score (RS) and immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint molecules, somatic gene mutations, and anticancer drug sensitivity were analyzed.
Results
A 5-NRLs signature was established to predict the prognostic of PC, including LINC00857, AL672291.1, PTPRN2-AS1, AC141930.2, and MEG9. The 5-NRLs signature demonstrated a high degree of predictive power according to ROC and Kaplan-Meier curves, and was revealed to be an independent risk factor for prognosis via stratified survival analysis. Nomogram and calibration curves indicated the clinical adaptability of the signature. Additionally, immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint molecules, somatic gene mutations and half-inhibitory concentration were significantly different between two risk subtypes.
Conclusions
The novel 5-NRLs signature is helpful for assessing the prognosis of PC patients and improving therapy options, so it can be further applied clinically.

Abstract

Pyruvate is an essential metabolite produced by the glycolytic pathway in the cytosol and must
be transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) into the mitochondrial matrix,
where it is oxidized to fuel mitochondrial respiration. Pyruvate import is performed by
Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier (MPC), which is a hetero-oligomeric complex composed by
interdependent subunits MPC1 and MPC2. Pathogenic variants in MPC1 gene disrupt
mitochondrial pyruvate uptake and oxidation and it was associated to autosomal-recessive
early-onset neurological dysfunction in humans. However, no pathogenic variants have been
related to the MPC2 gene. The present work describes the first pathogenic variants in MPC2
associated with human disease in four patients from two unrelated families. In the first family,
patients presented with antenatal developmental abnormalities, harbored a homozygous
c.148T>C (p.Trp50Arg) variant. In the second family, patients presented with infantile
encephalopathy carried missense c.2T>G (p.Met1?) variant disrupting the initiation codon.
Patient-derived skin fibroblasts exhibit decreased pyruvate-driven oxygen consumption rates
with normal activities of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and mitochondrial respiratory
chain and no defects in mitochondrial content nor morphology. Re-expression of wild type
MPC2 restored pyruvate-dependent respiration rates in patient-derived fibroblasts. The
discovery of pathogenic variants in MPC2 therefore broadens the clinical and genetic landscape
associated with inborn errors in pyruvate metabolism.
Sandwich type piezoelectric nanogenerators based on one- and two- dimensional ZnO nanostructures with improved output performance

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) have attracted a great deal of interest owing to their broad application in environmental mechanical energy harvesting to power small electronics devices. Here, the novel flexible and high performance sandwich-type piezoelectric nanogenerators based on one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanostructures and Ni foam as the middle layer have been developed. The morphology and structure of 1- and 2-D ZnO nanostructures have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). To study the effect of structural design on the piezoelectric performance, the single layer PENGs were also fabricated. The piezoelectric output of all prepared PENGs were evaluated under cyclic human impacts at various forces and frequencies. The output performance of the double-layer designed PENGs showed a two times larger voltage output compared to the single layer PENGs. The working mechanism of the prepared PENGs is also discussed. Design of nanogenerators as double-layer sandwich structure instead of single layer reduces the overall preparation time and processing steps as well as enhancement of their output performance, enhancing their capability for using in practical applications.
Expendable and Distributed Measurement Scheme for Acquisition of Naturally Sparse Events
Authors: V VIVEKANAND , Mishra Deepak 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
A common reason for electronic measurement anomaly is the inadvertent rise in ground potential with respect to measurement ground. The ground potential rise happens during current leakage to ground from lightning or from power grid and leads to catastrophic failure unless appropriate preventive action is taken to isolate the sensitive measurement systems. A networked system for acquisition and transmission of ground potential measurements to data monitoring station is presented here. The system is aimed to implement using low-cost IoT devices with limited resources since these units are planned to be expendable. The limited processing power of such devices is not sufficient to run high efficient computation intensive routing algorithms. A lightweight routing algorithm for this purpose is proposed here. The discussion on reliability of such systems is also presented. The multipath route discovery strategy presented here reconfigures the network to an optimal configuration with respect to energy dissipation and node distribution.

Authors: Hicks J. R. , Hayslip N. C. , Showalter R. K. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Supermarket sales of ‘Florida MH-1’ tomatoes which had been harvested fully red-ripe were compared with those of ‘Floradel’ tomatoes which had been harvested at the pink stage. The two lots of tomatoes were handled in the same manner. Customers preferred the red-ripe fruit over the pink. This preference became more pronounced during the 14 shopping days included in the test.
Fresh Market Tomatoes Harvested Red-Ripe

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Fruit shown on the cover are the ‘Florida MH-1’ tomatoes – harvested fully red-ripe1 and packed 2-layers deep in cartons of 20-pound capacity. Taking advantage of the attractive red color and retention of firmness of the cultivar, researchers at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), Univ. of Florida have accumulated data which indicate machine-harvestable red ripe fruit without excessive damage, the possibility of portable field packing units, and high consumer acceptance and/or preference. As a result of this continuing program, retail produce markets may soon display high quality winter tomatoes more like those “grandma used to grow.”
The Tryptophan Content of Tropical Roots and Tubers1
Authors: Splittstoesser Walter E. , Martin Franklin W. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The troptophan content was determined in 29 cultivars of tropical root and tuber crops: (Manihot esculenta Crantz, Dioscorea alata L., D. rotundata Poir., D. esculenta Burkill, D. bulbifera L., D. trifida L., Ipomea batatas L., Xanthosoma sagittifolium L. Schott, Colocasia esculenta L. Schott, Canna edulis Ker., Maranta arundinacea L., and Calathea allouia Lindl.) They contained 0.1 to 1.1 g tryptophan per 100 g protein and were below the FAO reference protein. Sufficient diversity existed between cultivars for troptophan per g of dried tissue to recommend further trials with D. alata cv. Florido, D. esculenta cv. Spindle, X. sagittifolium cv. Aguadillana and Colocasia esculenta cv. Martin. These contained 50% to 79% as much tryptophan as the FAO reference protein and have excellent cooking qualities.
Kinetin Removes Self-incompatibility Reaction in Detached Styles of Lilium longiflorum Thunb.1
Authors: Henny Richard J. , Ascher Peter D. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Injection of 100 or 200 ppm 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin) into detached Lilium longiflorum (Easter lily) styles before pollination removed the differential pollen tube growth attributable to the self-incompatibility reaction so that both compatible and incompatible pollen tubes reached lengths typical of compatible tubes. Prepollination injections of 50 ppm kinetin produced variable results while injection of 1 or 10 ppm kinetin had no effect on pollen tube growth.
New Developments in Plant Cell and Tissue Culture

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Plant cell and tissue culture is a rapidly moving science. New findings are coming so fast that it is difficult to keep up-to-date. Recent developments presented at the Third International Congress of Plant Tissue and Cell Culture at the University of Leicester, Leicester, England, July 21-16, 1974, deserve to be brought to the attention of horticulturists.
Introduction to the Symposium
Authors: Maynard Donald N. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Quality of horticultural crops is an extremely variable and perhaps nebulous characteristic. Quality may be easily expressed in physical terms such as size, color, or shape. Texture, food value, and keeping qualities, requiring more sophisticated determinations, are also critical components of quality. In some cases, quality may be a highly individual thing, varying from consumer to consumer. Furthermore, the expression of quality may be controlled by genetic capability as well as a host of environmental conditions.
Plant Nutrition and Woody Ornamental Growth and Quality1
Authors: Dirr Michael A. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Quality, the degree of excellence which a thing possesses, varies with the evaluator for excellence to one may be mediocrity to another. After considerable thought and examination of the literature, I have concluded that the quality attributes of woody ornamental plants as affected by mineral nutrition practices are not well defined. First, how exactly does one proceed to evaluate quality in a woody ornamental plant? The effects of mineral nutrition on the quality of vegetables and fruits would appear to be more obvious. Yield, color, firmness, taste, keeping quality, and chemical components may be useful traits for evaluating quality under a given set of nutritional, cultural, and environmental conditions In general quality on woody ornamentals appears to be related to visually pleasing, salable plants. There are various reports of fertilizer sources and rates on growth or appearance. I will review a limited number of these and then discuss the results of a questionnaire which was sent to nurserymen around the country concerning fertilization and woody ornamental plant production.
Plant Nutrition and Deciduous Fruit Crop Quality
Authors: Claypool L. L. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Physiological problems observed during postharvest handling of deciduous fruit crops often originate during production as a result of climatic, nutritional, or other cultural factors. Sometimes the likelihood of a problem occurring is partially under genetic control. For a postharvest physiologist to be fully effective in evaluating a problem, he must know the cultural history of the commodity with which he is working. Similarly, the researcher studying cultural factors should know the relationships between treatment variables and quality traits. Often this can best be accomplished by collaboration of researchers working in both fields, but one individual with proper background and interest may also acquire relatively complete information. I consider this symposium highly appropriate to point out interrelations between plant nutrition and commodity quality, and the need for adequate information on quality aspects of nutritional research to enable accurate interpretation of results.
Histology of Ethephon Injury on ‘Montmorency’ Cherry Branches1
Authors: Wilde Mary H. , Edgerton L. J. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
On current season’s growth of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus, cv. Montmorency) injury induced by (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) occurred at and below the nodes in tissues adjacent to the 3 leaf traces supplying each leaf. In the secondary xylem close to the cambium, separation and breakdown of cell walls resulted in the formation of gum cavities; injury occurred also in cortical tissues adjacent to the leaf traces. In older portions of the branch more severe injury occurred where large gum cavities formed in the outer secondary xylem and in cortical tissues. Superficial swelling, cell proliferation and surface cracks occurred on the branches near the nodes accompanied by exudations of gum. Injury and cell wall dissolution may be related to cellulase activity stimulated by ethylene released from the break down of ethephon within the tissues.

Abstract
The ‘Cardinal’ strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) has been released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station to fill the need for a large-fruited, productive cultivar adapted to Arkansas conditions. Its fruit characteristics make it a dual-purpose cultivar, suited to both fresh market and processing use. In preliminary trials it appears promising for use in once-over mechanical harvesting.
Research Coordination in Horticulture: Can It Be Done?
Authors: Faust Miklos 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
There are two philosophical points of view regarding the most effective approach to research. One holds that coordinated research is more productive and attains its goals faster with less cost. The Manhattan Project and Space Flights are cited as proof that coordination is the only effective way to solve problems. The other point of view is that good researchers know what to do without coordination. Supporters of this view claim that all major discoveries have resulted from individual efforts and that agricultural research, the most uncoordinated large research undertaking, has been very successful in developing new techniques and solving problems. They ask: “Should we spend long hours in coordinating meetings or should we get a good man and leave him alone?”
Carnivorous Seed Plants: Sources and References1
Authors: Rowland Jane Thomas 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Ordinarily plants are considered the primary food producers while animals feed upon plants directly or indirectly. A relatively small group of the vascular or higher plants feed upon animals. These “carnivorous” plants3 manufacture their own food but because of the special environment in which they grow, must supplement their intake with the nitrogen from animal tissues. Yet some insects are able to live in the traps of carnivorous plants in a Symbiotic relationship. For a number of years on into this century following the work of Charles Darwin, there was a considerable amount of research and observation made on these strange plants. There are, however, relatively few books on the subject.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Strawberry plants were regenerated by anther culture from 4 different octoploid cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa. All plants possessed the octoploid chromosome number. Evidence is given that the plants may have originated from gametic tissue. Four different nutrient media were tested and Gresshoff and Doy Number 1 medium gave best results.
Evaluating Genetic Sources of Fruit Detachment Traits in Strawberry1
Authors: Brown G. R. , Moore J. N. , Bailey L. F. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The components of strawberry capping (i.e. removal of fruit from the calyx) including capping percentage, capping force, and pedicel breaking force were evaluated in F. × ananassa Duch. cvs. Juspa, Fresno, Surecrop, Tennessee Beauty, Md-US 3082 and F. virginiana Duch. clone 27. Capping percentage varied from 100% for F. virginiana to 1.1% for Md-US 3082 and were intermediate in progenies from crosses that differ widely in respect to this character. Although clones did not differ phenotypically in required capping force, progenies from F. × ananassa × F. virginiana crosses required significantly less force to cap than progenies derived wholly from F. × ananassa. Pedicel breaking forces varied from 562 g for Md-US 3082 to 262 g for ‘Surecrop’ with progeny means near the low parent mean.
Effects of Aluminum Concentration on Growth and Chemical Composition of Peach Seedlings1
Authors: Kirkpatrick H. C. , Thompson J. M. , Edwards J. H. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Aluminum concentrations of 0, 3, 10, 30, and 100 ppm in nutrient solution reduced proportionately the dry weights of stem, roots, and leaves of seedlings of ‘Lovell’ peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]. Roots grown at 30 and 100 ppm A1 were shorter, thicker, and had less branching than roots grown at lower concentrations. The epidermal and endodermal cells were small, with grossly thickened cell walls. Cells of the cortex were shortened in the longitudinal axes. Leaf A1 level indicated solution A1 better than did the A1 levels of roots, stems, or the 2% acetic acid-extractable A1 fraction of leaves, stems, or roots. The concentration of Ca, Mg, Mn, and P were reduced as A1 concentration increased.

Authors: Tucker C. L. , Miller Milton D. , Webster Barbara D. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
No significant differences in bean seed yield of field grown ‘Dark Red Kidney’ beans were observed in plants treated at the green or white bud stage or in full bloom with (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) at concentrations ranging from 300 to 2400 ppm. Plants treated with 300 and 600 ppm ethephon produced and retained more flowers and matured 7-10 days earlier than untreated plants. Treatment with 1200 and 2400 ppm reduced flower production and delayed pod maturity.
The Influence of Temperature and Relative Humidity on Onion Pollen Germination1
Authors: Chang Woo Nang , Struckmeyer B. Esther 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Pollen of onion (Allium cepa L.) was stored in incubators at 21, 43 and 60°C with each at 20, 50 and 80% relative humidity. The germination of M611B pollen was higher than P52-371B. At each of the temperature levels, germination of viable pollen decreased as the relative humidity and length of storage time increased. Increasing temperature also caused an increase in nonviable pollen. At 21°C, pollen germination showed a gradual decline with increasing length of storage compared to a more abrupt decline at 43 and 60°C.

The Tabasco Story
Authors: Greenleaf Walter H. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The name Tabasco has become synonymous around the world with the famous hot sauce by this name, made from ‘Tabasco’ peppers (Capsicum frutescens L.). This aromatic sauce, widely used to enhance the flavor of many fresh and cooked foods, is made by the Mcllhenny Company of Avery Island, Louisiana. The pepper itself is named after the state in Mexico whence it probably came. It was introduced into Louisiana about 1846. Mention was made of its culture and use in a letter to the editors of the New Orleans Daily Delta of December 7, 1849. In this letter entitled “Deer Range - A Model Sugar Plantation” a visitor from the Northwest (St. Louis) praised his congenial host and owner of the plantation, Colonel Maunsel White, for his hospitality and his superior management which “excited our warmest admiration.” His observations on Tabasco peppers are quoted verbatim: “I must not omit to notice the Colonel's pepper patch, which is two acres in extent, all planted with a new species of red pepper, which Colonel White has introduced into the country, called Tobasco red pepper. The Colonel attributes the admirable health of his hands to the free use of this pepper.”
The Use of Diphenylamine to Protect Plants against Ozone Injury1
Authors: Gilbert M. D. , Maylin G. A. , Elfving D. C. , Edgerton L. J. , Gutenmann W. H. , Lisk D. J. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Foliar application of diphenylamine as a spray or dust on apple and as a dust on bean, muskmelon, petunia and tobacco plants afforded highly significant protection against visible injury when the plants were exposed to ozone in a modified growth chamber. Concentrations of diphenylamine of about 1% as a dust and 500-1000 ppm as a spray were effective.
Cashew Fatty Acids1
Authors: Maia Geraldo A. , Brown W. H. , Whiting F. M. , Stull J. W. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) nut neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were isolated by silicic acid column chromatography. Each lipid class had characteristic fatty acid distributions with phospholipids being higher in palmitic and oleic acids, and glycolipids being higher in lin oleic acid. Comparative esterification methods indicated that cashew apple juice contained significant amounts of free lauric acid. Oleic and linoleic acids occur in almost identical, amounts in cashew nut testa whereas oleic acid predominates in the kernel. Comparison of fatty acid distributions in pulp and peel from red and yellow cultivars of cashew apple at immature and mature stages shows some differences, with notable increases in oleic acid during maturation and decreases in linoleic and linolenic acids.
Effects of Chilling and Stratification on Nut Germination of Northern and Southern Pecan Cultivars1
Authors: Madden George D. , Tisdale Herbert W. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Stratification (moist-cold) at 0 – 2°C for 8-12 weeks promoted earliness and uniformity of germination of nuts of 4 cultivars of pecan (Carya illinoensis Wang. K. Koch). Of three northern cultivars used, two had a greater seed stratification requirement than a southern cultivar, whereas the third was similar. Chilling (dry-cold) was much less effective than stratification in promoting earliness and uniformity of germination. The use of stratification by pecan nurserymen should result in larger and more uniform stands of pecan seedlings.
