Alternate bearing in olive initiated by abiotic induction leading to biotic responses
Creators: name: Lavee, Shimon
Publisher: name: Advances in Horticultural Science
Year: 2015

description: Alternate bearing of olive trees is one of the most troublesome characteristics of this commodity, impacting its economy due to labor distribution, fruit and oil availability, oil mill capacity and marketing. The metabolic changes leading to alteration in fruit production are generally considered of direct genetic nature. In the present review, this approach is challenged, showing that all the biotic-metabolic changes in olive leading to ‘on’ and ‘off’ years are the results of initial abiotic effects on the trees. The nature of the metabolic changes induced by the abiotic regional and annual conditions described are, no doubt, genetically controlled but initiated only as a result of adverse environmental abiotic conditions such as seasonal temperatures, water stress, and soil nutrition conditions.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής διατριβής ήταν η διερεύνηση της επίδρασης των πλαστικών φύλλων κάλυψης θερμοκηπίων, απορροφητικών στο υπεριώδες φως, στους πληθυσμούς των επιζήμιων εντόμων (θρίπα και αφίδες) σε υδροπονική θερμοκηπιακή καλλιέργεια τομάτάς. ΤαυτσχροναΌήεξήχθη έρευνα σχετικά με την επίδραση των συγκεκριμένων πλαάτικών φύλλων κάλυψης στην δραστηριότητα των βομβύνων Bombus terrestris, (L) (Hymenoptera: Apidae), καθώς και περαιτέρω έλεγχος των φυτών τομάτας για την διαπίστωση της παρουσίας ιώσεων. Σε τρία όμοια θερμοκήπια μελετήθηκε η επίδραση διαφορετικών τύπων πλαστικών φύλλων κάλυψης. Στο πρώτο θερμοκήπιο αποτρεπόταν πλήρως η διέλευση της UV ακτινοβολίας (0% UV), στο δεύτερο θερμοκήπιο επιτρεπόταν η διέλευση ενός μόνο ποσοστού της υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας (3% UV) και το τρίτο θερμοκήπιο, ο μάρτυρας με το εμπορικό πλαστικό επέτρεπε την διέλευση του 7% της UV ακτινοβολίας. Πραγματοποιήθηκαν συγκρίσεις μεταξύ των τριών προαναφερθέντων θερμοκηπίων που αφορούσαν την επίδραση των πλαστικών κάλυψης τους, στην δραστηριότητα των επιζήμιων εντόμων. Η παρακολούθηση του πληθυσμών των θριπών και των αφίδων έγιναν με την εγκατάσταση δικτύου παγίδων στον εσωτερικό και εξωτερικό χώρο των θερμοκηπίων, καθώς και με την καταγραφή του πληθυσμού τους πάνω στα φυτά της τομάτας. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι ο αριθμός των συλληφθέντων θριπών και αφίδων στις παγίδες ήταν σημαντικά μικρότερος στο θερμοκήπιο που απέτρεπε πλήρως την διέλευση της UV ακτινοβολίας (UVo), σε σχέση με αυτό που επέτρεπε την είσοδο ενός ποσοστού της (UV3) και με τον μάρτυρα (UV7). Ακόμη, αρκετά μικρότερος ήταν ο αριθμός των παρατηρούμενων αφίδων και θριπών στο θερμοκήπιο που απορροφούσε μέρος της υπεριώδης ακτινοβολίας (UV3) σε σχέση με τον μάρτυρα (UV7), ωστόσο οι διαφορές τους δεν ήταν στατιστικώς σημαντικές. Ενώ αν και παρατηρήθηκε μειωμένος αριθμός αφίδων και θριπών πάνω στα φυτά του θερμοκηπίου UV0 σε σχέση με τα άλλα δύο UV3 και UY7, οι διαφορές τους δεν ήταν στατιστικώς σημαντικές. Όσον αφορά την επίδραση των πλαστικών νέου τύπου στη δραστηριότητα των βομβύνων κατά την επικονίαση των ανθέων, δεν βρέθηκε αυτή να επηρεάζεται σημαντικά από την έλλειψη της UV ακτινοβολίας. Τέλος δεν παρατηρήθηκαν προσβολές από ιώσεις σε κανένα από τα τρία θερμοκήπια.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate different storage conditions to maximize the shelf-life of buriti fruits; under ambient conditions the fruits last only 2-3 days. Buriti fruits were stored refrigerated at 10, 12 and 15oC with 85±5% relative humidity, and at room temperature (23±5°C) and 60±5% relative humidity. Fruits were analyzed every three days over a 12-day period for weight loss, respiratory activity, soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, lipids, protein and fiber. Under the considered conditions, refrigeration at 15oC was found to give the best results.

description: We present radial gas-phase metallicity profiles, gradients, and break radii at redshift $z = 0 - 3$ from the TNG50-1 star-forming galaxy population. These metallicity profiles are characterized by an emphasis on identifying the steep inner gradient and flat outer gradient. From this, the break radius, $r_{\rm Break}$, is defined as the region where the transition occurs. We observe the break radius having a positive trend with mass that weakens with redshift. When normalized by the stellar half-mass radius, the break radius has a weaker relation with both mass and redshift. To test if our results are dependent on the resolution or adopted physics of TNG50-1, the same analysis is performed in TNG50-2 and Illustris-1. We find general agreement between each of the simulations in their qualitative trends; however, the adopted physics between TNG and Illustris differ and therefore the breaks, normalized by galaxy size, deviate by a factor of $\sim$2. In order to understand where the break comes from, we define two relevant time-scales: an enrichment time-scale and a radial gas mixing time-scale. We find that $r_{\rm Break}$ occurs where the gas mixing time-scale is $\sim$10 times as long as the enrichment time-scale in all three simulation runs, with some weak mass and redshift dependence. This implies that galactic disks can be thought of in two-parts: a star-forming inner disk with a steep gradient and a mixing-dominated outer disk with a flat gradient, with the break radius marking the region of transition between them.

description: Low temperature is a restrictive factor for turfgrass growth and development in temperate regions. A study was conducted with the purpose of examining the physiological and antioxidant response of two turf species, Festuca arundinacea Schreb. ‘Starlett’ and Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers. ‘California Origin’ to cold stress in a growth chamber at the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University. Five temperatures (25, 15, 7.5, 0 and -7.5°C) in four replicates were examined in a completely randomized design experiment. It was revealed that under low temperature stress, soluble sugar contents, proline, malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were increased in both turfgrasses. Antioxidant enzyme activity, particularly catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), was increased as a result of temperature reduction from 25°C to 0°C. Tall fescue is thought to be better adapted to cold stress than common bermudagrass due to higher soluble sugar contents, proline, malondialdehyde and antioxidant enzyme activity. The results show that scavenging enzymes have a direct effect in cold season tolerance of turfgrass and improve the defense mechanism of plants, but their exact role merits further investigation.

description: The paper addresses state estimation for clock synchronization in the presence of factors affecting the quality of synchronization. Examples are temperature variations and delay asymmetry. These working conditions make synchronization a challenging problem in many wireless environments, such as Wireless Sensor Networks or WiFi. Dynamic state estimation is investigated as it is essential to overcome non-stationary noises. The two-way timing message exchange synchronization protocol has been taken as a reference. No a-priori assumptions are made on the stochastic environments and no temperature measurement is executed. The algorithms are unequivocally specified offline, without the need of tuning some parameters in dependence of the working conditions. The presented approach reveals to be robust to a large set of temperature variations, different delay distributions and levels of asymmetry in the transmission path.

Year: 2023

description: Publishing the shortfalls that occurred during a calamity can help to plan and anticipate logistic and personnel management in a better way in the future, which can ultimately result in better welfare of laboratory animals. COVID-19 imposed euthanasia of research animals and partial or complete closure of laboratory animal facilities across the world recently. In an attempt to find out the impact on laboratory animals, a survey was conducted ensuring the voluntary participation of institutions from different regions of India. A total of 56 facilities participated from 14 states and union territories. From their responses 94.64% of the facilities operated either fully or partly with 12.5% operating completely. 62.5% had no interruption in receiving essential supplies and 16.1% operated with complete manpower. 19.64% paused breeding completely and 53.57% partially. Besides strict lockdown, 95.83% of the institutes were able to provide veterinary care. 58.93% of the institutions conducted online IAEC meetings indicative of continuing research activities. Many facilities reported morbidities (64.29%) and mortality (8.93%). To optimize resources 41% reported euthanasia of animals. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between lockdown associated reduced manpower and impaired essential supplies with these observed eventualities. In conclusion, even though the lockdown had created a partial disruption of activities, operations, and research went on in the majority of the facilities in India.

description: This paper is a report of discussion between responsible persons throughout the Nordic region on the activities, issues and problems encountered with evaluating project applications for experimental work involving the use of animals. Harmonization of the actions of responsible authorities in the evaluation of animal experimental projects is encouraged by policy makers at the European level, and the possibilities to encourage this are discussed. While the process of evaluation and the composition of the committees are broadly similar across the region there are differences. Applications are often made with insufficient attention, better guidance and simplification may improve this. Training was identified as a common problem, and training sources are available which could be used. The inclusion of persons with experimental design and statistical expertise is recommended. It is concluded that it would be to the benefit of each committee if there were communication between the committees in the Nordic states, to share best practice and flag common errors and problems.

description: Phylloxera seems to have key role in the fungal pathogen infection ratio while the fungal spread reduces the ability of phylloxera to reproduce. Intact roots of four-month-old grape plants were inoculated with phylloxera eggs in presence or absence of fungal pathogens. Fusarium solani SY7 infection was detected in all plant parts when grapevine roots were infested with phylloxera. The spread ratio of Fusarium solani SY7 increased from 74 to 100% of the infested plants with phylloxera. On the other hand, the phylloxera on F. solani SY7 infected roots were developed more slowly, since the nymphs and tuberosities were significantly decreased 49% and 31% respectively. The total plant biomass decreased to 29% in the presence of both F. solani SY 7 and phylloxera as compared to 9 and 17% in the presence of F. solani SY7 or phylloxera, respectively. This study sheds light on the correlation between fungi, phylloxera and grapevine and could help in the application of integrated pest management (IPM) programs against grape phylloxera.

description: Andreev-reflection spectroscopy of elemental superconductors in contact with non-magnetic normal metals reveals that the strength of normal-reflection varies only slightly. This observation imposes strong constrictions on the three possible normal-reflection mechanisms: tunneling through a dielectric barrier, reflection due to the different electronic properties of the two electrodes, and diffusive transport caused by elastic scattering in the contact region. We discuss in detail the role played by Fermi-surface mismatch, represented by the different Fermi velocities on both sides of the contact interface. We find that it is at least not the dominant mechanism and possibly completely absent in the Andreev-reflection process.

description: To determine the interaction of nitrogen and natural zeolite in culture medium on the vegetative growth of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) ‘Starlet’ a greenhouse experiment was conducted. A complete randomized design with factorial arrangements including two factors (nitrogen and zeolite) was employed for each treatment with four replications. Treatments of nitrogen were 0, 0.06 and 0.12 g kg-1 in the soil mixture and treatments of zeolite were 0, 10, 20 and 30 g kg-1 in the soil mixture. Application of zeolite and nitrogen had different effects on seedling height, fresh and dry weights of clippings before first, second and third mowings, chlorophyll and nitrogen content of clippings, and dry weights of roots. Adding zeolite at the rate of 30 g kg-1 and nitrogen at the rate of 0.12 g kg-1 to culture medium significantly increased the height of turf seedlings. It is concluded that zeolite could absorb and slowly release nitrogen to the culture medium.

description: This study analyzes the degree of contribution of income sources to the income inequality among farm households through the Shapley value decomposition of the Gini coefficient and suggests policy implications. Farm Household Economy Survey raw data from 2013 to 2017 are used for the analysis. As a result of mean equalized Shapley value decomposition, it would be effective to develop a policy that alleviates inequality in order of agricultural income, non-farm business income and sideline income if the government wants to reduce overall inequality in farm household income. On the other hand, as a result of zero Shapley value decomposition, it would be effective to develop a policy that mitigates the inequality in order of agricultural income, private subsidy and sideline income if the government wants to mitigate the contribution of each income source to inequality. Inequality of farm household income is basically a combination of various factors such as household population, environment, social, economic, and government policy factors. Therefore, the government needs to design farm household income inequality mitigation policy by income source through comprehensive consideration of these factors.

description: This study was conducted at Al-Balqa` Applied University research station to investigate the effect of different types of mulches on ‘Newton’ tomato yields and fruit cracking incidence under greenhouse conditions. The experiment consisted of seven treatments (black plastic, tuff gravel, clear plastic, compost, crushed stone, shredded wood, and the control); a randomized complete block design with three replicates was used. Different mulch types showed significant effects on early, medium, late, and total yields/ha of the tomato fruits. Higher early and medium yields were obtained using black and clear plastic. Compost resulted with the highest total yield. Results of this study clearly showed that mulching improves total tomato yields under greenhouse conditions. In addition, larger fruits were obtained by applying mulching. Tomato cracking was also slightly affected by the mulch types used in this study.

description: The use of bermudagrass in the Mediterranean area is increasing for its outstanding tolerance to heat and drought, and its aggressive growth and high recuperative potential make it particularly suited to heavily worn areas and appreciated for sports turfs. However, the overall performance of a given genetic type can be affected by the adaptation to a specific environment. The objective of this research was to determine the variability of a number of phenotypic traits that can affect bermudagrass turf performance on a wide range of bermudagrass accessions grown in two locations in Italy. In May 2010, 44 accessions of bermudagrasses, grouped in “wild”, “improved” “hybrid” and “dwarf” types were transplanted in the center of field plots in Pisa and Palermo. In 2011, when the turf was completely established, the following traits were determined: shoot density, horizontal stem density, node density, leaf width, colour, quality, spring green-up, and fall colour retention. Dwarf and hybrid types yielded the best aesthetic characteristics. With respect to colour retention and spring green-up, great variability was recorded within the groups. Dwarf types presented the earliest dormancy, while the hybrid types were in general the ones to green-up first in spring.

description: The association level of pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.) with two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species (Glomus etunicatum and G. versiforme) was evaluated for the first time. The first part of experiment showed 30 and 50% root colonization for the two AMF species, respectively, while the second part of study was a pot experiment under greenhouse conditions. The effects of vermicompost and root inoculation with G. etunicatum and G. versiforme on reproductive stage, yield and fruit quality of pepino were investigated. Treatments included two levels of vermicompost (0 and 20% v/v) and inoculation with the two fungi species along with a non inoculated control. Application of vermicompost increased the number of flowers, fruits and fruit weight, but decreased the number of days from plant setting to first flower and fruit set, fruit dry matter percent, fruit titratable acidity and vitamin C content. Inoculation with G. versiforme increased fruit dry matter percent, fruit titratable acidity and fruit vitamin C content compared with the non inoculated control (NIC) plants. Plants inoculated with G. etunicatum showed greater fruit weight and juice pH compared to NIC plants. AMF inoculation in vermicompost amended pots led to 14 and 10 days earlier flowering for G. versiforme and G. etunicatum, respectively compared to those not amended with vermicompost. G. etunicatum in vermicompost supplemented medium hastened fruit set by 5.5 days compared to those without vermicompost application. Fruit quality characteristics were affected differently for the two AMF-inoculated plants in presence of vermicompost.

description: The Open Science movement has made steady strides in recent years and has been positioned as one of the key priorities of the EU policy agenda. Despite the undeniable progress and its recognition on national and international levels there are still questions around the impact of Open Science and barriers that prevent Open Science from reaching its full potential. Such barriers include the costs of openness, lack of skills and capacity in data management, differing regulatory frameworks, and a lack of appropriate incentives in career advancement.

PathOS is a Horizon Europe project that aims to collect concrete evidence of Open Science effects, study the pathways of Open Science practices, from input to output, outcome and impact, including the consideration of enabling factors and key barriers. The concept behind the project is to identify and document the Open Science Impact Pathways, with a particular focus on causality. Impact pathways respond to the need not only to estimate and measure net effects of a policy intervention, but to provide explanations why and how impacts occur.

To drive the modelling of the pathways and support testing and operationalising Open Science indicators, PathOS is centered around and informed by seven case studies that will (a) drive the modelling of the Open Science impact pathways using explicit causal thinking , (b) support testing and operationalization of Open Science indicators (tools, data, flows) by providing access to data and experts with knowledge of the local environment, and (c) provide input to a Cost Benefit Analysis and to validate results.

The project ultimately aspires to:

Provide evidence to support a better understanding of the implications of Open Science for science, economy and society.

Shape recommendations to policy makers and other actors in the R&I ecosystem as to how and to what extent Open Science should be promoted in a balanced way.

Create innovative tools and methods for Open Science impact indicators and Cost Benefit Analysis framework using big data for studying the causal effects of Open Science.

With this poster we present the background of the PathOS project, its main goals and outcomes, the methodology framework towards developing new tools and methods for measuring impact and how co-creation will be employed to inform all project activities and results for the benefit of the Open Science communities.

description: Cakile maritima is a member of the Brassicaceae family also known as sea rocket. It is an annual succulent halophyte frequent in coastal dune vegetation in Mediterranean regions and Atlantic coasts from North Africa to the north of Europe. This halophyte presents a complex survival strategy at high salinity and its seeds contain up to 40% of an oil which could be suitable for biofuel production and other industrial applications. However, data concerning the cellular mechanisms allowing this plant to resist salinity are still lacking. Cell suspension cultures offer an in vitro system convenient for cell biology studies and biotechnological methods are still not developed for this putative crop. The present paper reports initiation of C. maritima cell suspension cultures from callus obtained from aerial parts of seedlings. The establishment of a suspension culture which preserves its salt resistance provides an opportunity to gain insights into C. maritima biology.

description: In 1990, one in five U.S. workers were aged over 50 years whereas today it is one in three. One possible explanation for this is that occupations have become more accommodating to the preferences of older workers. We explore this by constructing an "age-friendliness" index for occupations. We use Natural Language Processing to measure the degree of overlap between textual descriptions of occupations and characteristics which define age-friendliness. Our index provides an approximation to rankings produced by survey participants and has predictive power for the occupational share of older workers. We find that between 1990 and 2020 around three quarters of occupations have seen their age-friendliness increase and employment in above-average age-friendly occupations has risen by 49 million. However, older workers have not benefited disproportionately from this rise, with substantial gains going to younger females and college graduates and with male non-college educated workers losing out the most. These findings point to the need to frame the rise of age-friendly jobs in the context of other labour market trends and imperfections. Purely age-based policies are insufficient given both heterogeneity amongst older workers as well as similarities between groups of older and younger workers. The latter is especially apparent in the overlapping appeal of specific occupational characteristics.

description: In this paper we develop statistical models for bankruptcy prediction of Italian firms in the limited liability sector, using annual balance sheet information. Several issues involved in default risk analysis are investigated, such as the structure of the data-base, the sampling procedure and the influence of predictors. In particular we focus on the variable selection problem, comparing innovative techniques based on shrinkage with traditional stepwise methods. The predictive performance of the proposed default risk model has been evaluated by means of different accuracy measures. The results of the analysis, carried out on a data-set of financial ratios expressly created from a sample of industrial firms annual reports, give evidence in favor of the proposed model over traditional ones.

description: Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) skin contains the phenolic compound resveratrol which is important not only for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses but also for human health. However, little is known about resveratrol transport in plant cells. ABC (ATP binding cassette) transporters are well-known transporters responsible for secondary metabolite accumulation in plants. Previous reports speculated that the full-size ABCG transporter pleiotropic drug-resistant (PDR) is involved in resveratrol transport in fungi and plants. In this paper, all full-size ABCG transporters found in the grape genome database are listed and focus is placed on VvABCG44/VvPDR14 as a candidate resveratrol transporter. The full-length cDNA of VvABCG44 was cloned by RT-PCR using mRNAs extracted from grape berry skin. VvABCG44 expression was induced by UV irradiation, and the expression pattern of VvABCG44 in various grape organs was similar to that of stilbene synthase (STS), a key enzyme in resveratrol synthesis. Resveratrol content in grape berry skin increased after UV irradiation. These results suggest that VvABCG44 functions as a resveratrol transporter in grape.

description: Seedlessness is a desirable characteristic for both fresh and processed citrus markets and one of the most important breeding objectives. In this paper, progress on studies for seedless breeding of citrus in Japan is reviewed. Among the several types of male sterility, anther abortion is the strictest male sterility in citrus and was shown to be controlled by both nuclear and cytoplasmic genes. Several seedless cultivars with male sterility have been developed. The mechanism and inheritance of the strictest female sterility derived from ‘Mukaku Kishu’ (Citrus kinokuni hort. ex Tanaka) were clarified and seedless cultivar and parental lines with this female sterility have been released. Some self-incompatible cultivars show seedlessness when coupled with parthenocarpy. S (self-incompatibility) genotypes of several cultivars have been estimated. Tetraploid plants, as parents of triploid offspring, were obtained from nucellar seedlings, and by ploidy mutation, colchicine treatment, and protoplast fusion. Triploid plants were produced from the combination of not only tetraploid and diploid crosses but also diploid and diploid crosses. New triploid seedless cultivars were bred by programmed cross-breeding and protoplast fusion.

description: We explicitly test if the reliability of credit ratings depends on the total number of admissible states. We analyse open access credit rating data and show that the effect of the number of states in the dynamical properties of ratings change with time, thus giving supportive evidence that the ideal number of admissible states changes with time. We use matrix estimation methods that explicitly assume the hypothesis needed for the process to be a valid rating process. By comparing with the likelihood maximization method of matrix estimation, we quantify the "likelihood-loss" of assuming that the process is a well grounded rating process.
