Induction of Somatic Embryogenesis through Overexpression of ATRKD4 Genes in Phalaenopsis "Sogo Vivien"

Phalaenopsis "Sogo Vivien "is a mini orchid hybrid with beautiful flowers and numerous inflorescences. Mass propagation of this orchid is needed to meet the market demand. Objective of this research was to induce somatic embryogenesis of P. "Sogo Vivien" through insertion of AtRKD4 gene into orchid. T DNA containing 35S::GAL4::AtRKD4::GR was inserted into 16 22 days after sowing orchid protocorms mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA 105. Activation of the AtRKD4 gene was induced by glucocorticoid induction system, using 15mM Dexamethasone (Dex) The results showed that 34 out of 2,648 orchid embryos developed into protocorms on hygromycin selection medium, whereas only 4 out of 2,897 non transformant protocorms developed from embryos. A 500 bp of HPT genes was amplified from transformant candidates using specific primers for HPT (HygF1 and HygR1) and 380 bp was amplified using specific primers for AtRKD4 (AtRKD4 F1 and AtRKD4 R1) indicated that transgenes have been integrated into orchid genomes. Finally, 17 plantlets were positively carrying AtRKD4 and HPT genes, the efficiency of transformation was 0.63 Somatic embryos were also emerged from leaf explants of transformant on hormone free NP medium and became normal plantlets. It is probably due to the high activity of AtRKD4 genes in orchids
Regeneration of Plantlets Through PLB (Protocorm Like Body) Formation in Phalaenopsis 'Join Angle X Sogo Musadian'

Selection and regeneration of specific hybrids of Phalaenopsis typically takes a long time since this plant usually reproduces through seeds. This study was conducted to examine the best medium and explants for regeneration of Phalaenopsis 'Join Angle x Sogo Musadian' In vitro and in vivo roots and leaves were used as explants, which were cultured in half strength Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with various combinations of plant growth regulators (TDZ, 2,4 D, NAA, BAP and IAA) The results showed that the in vitro roots produced the highest number of PLBs (49.3 PLBs) when they were cultured in medium containing 0.5 ppm NAA, 5 ppm BAP, and 0.5 ppm IAA. The in vitro leaf explants also regenerated PLBs, however, only two PLBs developed, i.e. when they were cultured in medium containing 1 ppm TDZ and 2 ppm 2,4 D. PLB germination into plantlets was performed by culturing each PLB on MS medium without plant growth regulators. Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that in vitro roots and half strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 ppm NAA, 5 ppm BAP, and 0.5 ppm IAA are the best explant and best medium respectively for plant regeneration through PLBs.
Micropropagation of Mini Orchid Hybrid Phalaenopsis "Sogo Vivien"

Phalaenopsis "Sogo Vivien" is an orchid hybrid with mini size plant body, and exhibits numerous beautiful pink flowers, that is ideal as ornamental pot plant. Some plants of this orchid exhibit variegated leaves that improve the beauty of the plant, not only because of the flower but also as attracted leaves. This orchid has high economical value, but mass propagation of this orchid has not established yet. An effective method to propagate both the normal and variegated plants is worth to be generated. The objective of this research was to produce a large number of P. "Sogo Vivien" plants, including the variegated plants. The method used seeds from self pollinating variegated plant, and flower stalk nodes. The seeds were sown on three various medium: VW, NP and MS, and flower stalk nodes were planted on VW BA 10 mg l 1 active carbon. The results showed that the best medium for in vitro culture of P. "Sogo Vivien" was NP medium, in which all seeds could grew into plantlets. Most plantlets emerged from the seeds were non variegated, only one plantlet out of 1344 seeds was variegated (0.007% Although all emerged plantlets from flower stalk exhibited variegated leaves. Particularly, the plantlets arised from the second and third basal nodes of flower stalk showed the highest growth rate than that from the other nodes. Histological analysis showed that at 11 13 days after shoot segment plantation on NP medium, the shape of apical cells in the nodes was changed, then followed by the change of cell shape in the basal part of the nodes, produced bipolar pattern, then gradually developed into shoot. These results suggest that mass propagation could be achieved using seed culture, but to get the variegated phenotypes, the second and third nodes of flower stalk from variegated plant were the best explants to be used.

Paleomicrobiology: a Snapshot of Ancient Microbes and Approaches to Forensic Microbiology.
Venue: Microbiology spectrum

Paleomicrobiology, or the study of ancient microorganisms, has raised both fascination and skepticism for many years. While paleomicrobiology is not a recent field, the application of emerging techniques, such as DNA sequencing, is proving essential and has provided novel information regarding the evolution of viruses, antibiotic resistance, saprophytes, and pathogens, as well as ancient health and disease status, cultural customs, ethnic diets, and historical events. In this review, we highlight the importance of studying ancient microbial DNA, its contributions to current knowledge, and the role that forensic paleomicrobiology has played in deciphering historical enigmas. We also discuss the emerging techniques used to study the microbial composition of ancient samples as well as major concerns that accompany ancient DNA analyses.
Ancient Resistome.
Venue: Microbiology spectrum

Antibiotic resistance is an ancient biological mechanism in bacteria, although its proliferation in our contemporary world has been amplified through antimicrobial therapy. Recent studies conducted on ancient environmental and human samples have uncovered numerous antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance genes. The resistance genes that have been reported from the analysis of ancient bacterial DNA include genes coding for several classes of antibiotics, such as glycopeptides, b lactams, tetracyclines, and macrolides. The investigation of the resistome of ancient bacteria is a recent and emerging field of research, and technological advancements such as next generation sequencing will further contribute to its growth. It is hoped that the knowledge gained from this research will help us to better understand the evolution of antibiotic resistance genes and will also be used in drug design as a proactive measure against antibiotic resistance.
An analysis of tribological performance on Cr/GLC film coupling with Si3N4, SiC, WC, Al2O3 and ZrO2 in seawater

The tribological performances of Cr/GLC film coupling with Si3N4, SiC, WC, Al2O3 and ZrO2 were comparatively studied in seawater. Results indicated that the Cr/GLC film coupling with different ceramic counterparts exhibited different friction behaviors, which was closely related to the mechanical performances of mating ceramics. Meanwhile, the tribo chemical products between the Cr/GLC film and ceramics also played an important role in improving the tribological performances. Friction coefficient and wear rate of the Cr/GLC film sliding against Si3N4 were lower than others, which indicated that the Cr/GLC film coupled to Si3N4 ceramic exhibited optimum tribological performance in seawater.
Comparative assessment of thematic accuracy of GLC maps for specific applications using existing reference data
Venue: Int. J. Appl. Earth Obs. Geoinformation

Inputs to various applications and models, current global land cover (GLC) maps are based on different data sources and methods. Therefore, comparing GLC maps is challenging. Statistical comparison of GLC maps is further complicated by the lack of a reference dataset that is suitable for validating multiple maps. This study utilizes the existing Globcover 2005 reference dataset to compare thematic accuracies of three GLC maps for the year 2005 (Globcover, LC CCI and MODIS) We translated and reinterpreted the LCCS (land cover classification system) classifier information of the reference dataset into the different map legends. The three maps were evaluated for a variety of applications, i.e. general circulation models, dynamic global vegetation models, agriculture assessments, carbon estimation and biodiversity assessments, using weighted accuracy assessment. Based on the impact of land cover confusions on the overall weighted accuracy of the GLC maps, we identified map improvement priorities. Overall accuracies were 70.8 1.4% 71.4 1.3% and 61.3 1.5% for LC CCI, MODIS, and Globcover, respectively. Weighted accuracy assessments produced increased overall accuracies (80 93% since not all class confusion errors are important for specific applications. As a common denominator for all applications, the classes mixed trees, shrubs, grasses, and cropland were identified as improvement priorities. The results demonstrate the necessity of accounting for dissimilarities in the importance of map classification errors for different user application. To determine the fitness of use of GLC maps, accuracy of GLC maps should be assessed per application; there is no single figure accuracy estimate expressing map fitness for all purposes.
An analysis of the tribological mechanism of GLC film in artificial seawater

The tribological performances of the graphite like carbon (GLC) films sliding against WC balls in distilled water (DW) artificial seawater (SW) and four types of saline solutions related to seawater were investigated. The GLC film was deposited by magnetron sputtering. The microstructure, mechanical properties and tribological performances of the GLC film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force microscopy (AFM) Raman spectroscopy, nano indentation and reciprocating ball on disk tribo meter. The results showed that the smooth, dense and hard GLC film with significant sp2 hybridized carbon exhibited good tribological performance with low friction and wear not only in distilled water, but also in seawater. The tribological performance of the GLC film in seawater was closely related to the nature and constitution of seawater, as well as the nature and performance of the counterparts. Bulky wear debris with hard particles would generate a three body wear regime, which increases the friction coefficient and wear rate of the GLC film slightly in seawater environment. In contrast, the divalent metal salts of seawater can decrease friction and wear between the two contact surfaces. The synergistic effect led to a relatively higher friction coefficient and wear rate of the GLC film against the WC counterpart in seawater than that in distilled water.

Adoption factors of cleaner production technology in a developing country: energy efficient lighting in Malaysia

To address the environmental impact of lighting systems, new technologies, such as light emitting diodes, are gaining interest, as they are more energy efficient and result in lower carbon emissions than traditional lighting methods. However, adoption of new energy efficient technologies is slow, resulting in delay in the decrease of ongoing damage to the environment. This study investigates factors that may play significant roles in successful adoption of light emitting diodes based lighting in Malaysia. In defining these factors the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology is used. Relationships between factors for light emitting diodes purchase decision were examined using path analysis, and a research model of influential factors is presented. Results from a survey of 221 respondents from multiple cities in Malaysia were used to test the model and hypotheses. The Partial Least Square test was chosen to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the key constructs of the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model: behavioral intention, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, performance expectancy and social influence. The results confirmed that a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model could be used to determine behavioral intention of consumers and predict adoption of light emitting diodes technology in Malaysia. Results show that Performance expectancy, Effort expectancy, Social influence, Facilitating conditions and Behavioral intention are the main factors in adoption of light emitting diodes based lighting in Malaysia.

Psychometric Characteristics of the Hebrew Version of the Professional Quality of Life Scale.
Venue: Journal of pain and symptom management

Exposure to human suffering may have ramifications for the professional quality of life (ProQol) of palliative care teams. The ProQol scale was designed to assess both negative and positive work related outcomes and has been used recently for the evaluation of work related outcomes among palliative care workers. However, the assessment of ProQol among Israeli hospice workers is scant.  The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties and the factor structure of the Hebrew version of the 30 item ProQol questionnaire.  The study population included 1100 health care providers including physicians, nurses, and social workers in primary health care and palliative care settings.  A total of 380 workers participated in the study, representing a response rate of 34.5% The confirmatory factor analysis did not show an adequate "goodness to fit." Using a factor coefficient of 0.35 or greater for inclusion, the exploratory factor analysis revealed a 23 item solution, loaded onto three factors: compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout (BU) The internal consistency subscales were 0.87, 0.82, and 0.69, respectively. The subscales showed good convergent and exploratory validity because of significant correlations with measures that examine BU, work engagement, and peritraumatic dissociative experiences.  Although the findings are consistent with those from studies in other languages, they are different from the original 30 item three factor structure reported by Stamm. The Hebrew version of the compassion satisfaction subscale was found to be reliable and valid for studies among health care professionals, but further research is needed to improve the BU and secondary traumatic stress subscales.
