TI Developing Selenium-Enriched Animal Feed and Biofuel From Canola Planted for Managing Se-Laden Drainage Waters in the Westside of Central California SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOREMEDIATION LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 5th International Phytotechnology Conference CY OCT 22-25, 2008 CL Nanjing, PEOPLES R CHINA SP Int Phytotechnol Soc, Soil Environm Bioremediat Res Ctr, Chinese Acad Sci, Inst Soil Sci DE biofuel; selenium; phytoremediation; canola ID DIETARY SELENIUM; DAIRY-COWS; SELENATE; BLOOD; PHYTOREMEDIATION; VOLATILIZATION; MANAGEMENT; NUTRITION; SEDIMENT; SODIUM AB We studied the reuse of selenium (Se)-laden effluent for producing canola (Brassica napus) and subsequent bioproducts in central California. Canola was irrigated with poor quality waters [electrical conductivity (EC) of approximate to 5 dS m-1 sulfate-salinity, 5 mg B L-1, and 0.25 mg Se L-1]. Typical seed yields were 2.2 metric tons ha-1. Seeds were processed for their oil, and transesterified to produce ASTM-quality biodiesel (BD) blends. The resulting Se-enriched seed cake meal (containing 2 mg Se kg-1 DM) was used in a dairy feed trial. Seventy-two Jersey and Holstein cows, 36 respectively, were fed Se-enriched canola meal as 6.2% of their daily feed ration for five weeks. Blood and milk samples were collected weekly and analyzed for total Se. This study showed that Se-enriched canola meal did not significantly increase total blood Se content in either cow breed. Milk Se concentrations did, however, significantly increase to safe levels of 59 g Se L-1 and 52 g Se L-1 in Jersey and Holstein cows, respectively. The production of BD 20 biofuels and Se-enriched feed meal from canola irrigated with poor quality waters may help sustain similar phytomanagement strategies under Se-rich conditions.

In this field study, samples from different compartments of treatment wetlands were collected and the vegetation change in each wetland cell was examined four years after the wetland's inception. The results showed that saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) and rabbitfoot grass (Polypogon monspeliensis) were less competitive than cattail (Typha latifolia) and saltmarsh bulrush (Scirpus robustus). Over 90% of the wetland cell originally vegetated with saltgrass or rabbitfoot grass was occupied by invasive plantsi.e., when invasive species were not controlled in the wetlands. More Se was likely found in sediments from vegetated regions, compared to the unvegetated areas of the wetland cell. Particularly, rhizosphere sediments accumulated about 4-fold more Se than non-rhizosphere sediments. Among the total Se retained in the wetland, 90% of the total Se was partitioned in the top 10-cm layer of sediment. The Se accumulation in plant materials accounted for about 2% of the total Se mass retained in each wetland cell. This field study demonstrated that wetland plants play significant roles in the treatment of Se-laden agricultural drainage.

We evaluated different clones for salt and boron (B) tolerance within each of seven genetically distinct genomic groups (e.g., deltoides, deltoides x nigra, trichocarpa x deltoides, trichocarpa x deltoides x maximowizcii, trichocarpa x deltoides x nigra, trichocarpa x nigra, trichocarpa x maximowizcii). During each evaluation period, different clones within each of the groups were irrigated with high sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity (i.e., 10-30 dS m-1) and B (i.e., 10 mg L-1) water up to a maximum of 150days, for a 4-year testing period under micro-field plot conditions. Excessive accumulation (up to 6%) of chloride (Cl) likely caused toxicity symptoms (necrosis of the leaves) observed in the less tolerant clones, while leaf B concentrations rarely exceeded 300 mg kg-1 DM in any clone. Increased soil salinity likely hindered the uptake of B by the clones. Our results show that a wide range of selected Populus clones, of parentage trichocarpa x nigra, followed by deltoides x nigra show potential salt and B tolerance as young trees to recycled waters high in salinity and B.

TI Plant Uptake of Depleted Uranium from Manure-Amended and Citrate Treated Soil SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOREMEDIATION LA English DT Article DE Kochia (Kochia scoparia L; Schrad); pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L; ); chelate ID ORGANIC-ACIDS; HEAVY-METALS; PHYTOREMEDIATION; PHYTOEXTRACTION; AGENTS; COPPER AB Six plant species were tested for their ability to accumulate depleted uranium in their aboveground biomass from deployed munitions contaminated soil in New Mexico. In greenhouse experiments, Kochia (Kochia scoparia L. Schrad.) and pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) were grown with steer manure added at rates of 22.4, 44.8, and 89.6 Mg ha-1. Citric acid and glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) applied at the end of the growing season increased DU concentrations from 2.5 to 17 times. Leaf and stem DU concentrations in kochia increased from 17.0 to 41.9 mg kg-1 and from 3.5 to 18.0 mg kg-1, respectively. In pigweed, leaf and stem DU concentrations increased from 1.0 to 17.3 and from 1.0 to 4.7 mg kg-1, respectively. Manure generally decreased or had no effect on DU uptake. The effect of citric acid and ammonium citrate on DU uptake by kochia, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and sweet corn (Zea mays L.) was also studied. Ammonium citrate was just as effective in enhancing DU uptake as citric acid. This implies that the citrate ion is more important in DU uptake and translocation than the solubilization of DU through acidification. In both experiments, leaves had higher DU concentrations than stems.

In order to enhance the phytoremediative ability of green plants chelating agents are commonly used. Our study aims to evaluate whether, citric acid (CA) or elemental sulfur (S) should be used as an alternative to the ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) for chemically enhanced phytoextraction. Results showed that EDTA was more efficient than CA and S in solubilizing lead (Pb) from the soil. The application of EDTA and S increased the shoot biomass of wheat. However, application of CA at higher rates (30 mmol kg-1) resulted in significantly lower wheat biomass. Photosynthesis and transpiration rates increased with EDTA and S application, whereas these parameters were decreased with the application of CA. Elemental sulfur was ineffective for enhancing the concentration of Pb in wheat shoots. Although CA did not increase the Pb solubility measured at the end of experiment, however, it was more effective than EDTA in enhancing the concentration of Pb in the shoots of Triticum aestivum L. It was assumed that increase in Mn concentration to toxic levels in soil with CA addition might have resulted in unusual Pb concentration in wheat plants. The results of the present study suggest that under the conditions used in this experiment, CA at the highest dose was the best amendment for enhanced phytoextraction of Pb using wheat compared to either EDTA or S.

The reasons for this poor performance are not understood since the commercial hydrogels have not been adequately characterized. PAAm hydrogels were synthesized and their properties were measured along with those of commercial hydrogels. Hydrogel swelling, density, and SEM analyses showed that the commercial hydrogels were most likely a derivative of PAAm with ionic groups and they were able to retain moisture for only a few hours.

However, LiDAR data typically cover a limited area and have a high economic cost compared with satellite optical imagery. Optical images may be required to extrapolate LiDAR height measurements across a broad landscape. Different spectral indices were obtained from three Landsat scenes. The mean, median, SD and coefficient of variation (CV) of LiDAR canopy height measurements were calculated in 30-m square blocks corresponding with Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) pixels. Correlation and forward stepwise regression analysis was applied to these data sets. Mean and median LiDAR height versus normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), normalized difference moisture index (NDMI), normalized burn ratio (NBR) and wetness Tasseled Cap showed the best correlation coefficients (R(2) ranging between -0.62 and -0.76). Nineteen regression models were obtained (R(2) = 0.65-0.70). These results show that LiDAR-derived canopy height may be associated with Landsat spectral indices. This approach is of interest in sustainable forest management, although further research is required to improve accuracy.

Current models use visible and near infrared bands to obtain vegetative cover, and sometimes use thermal infrared data for land surface temperature. Together these can yield good ET estimates. However, it may be possible to do even better by using remotely sensed thermal infrared emissivity, a surface property related to fractional vegetative cover but independent of plant greenness. Emissivities derived from clear-sky Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations obtained in 2007 over the Southern Great Plains (Oklahoma and Kansas), USA, were compared with changes in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for winter wheat and grazing land. Emissivity changes were independent of NDVI and sensitive to standing canopies, regardless of growth stage or senescence. Thus emissivities were seasonally dynamic, able to detect wheat harvest timing, and helpful for modelling ET.

TI Quantifying arsenic-induced morphological changes in spinach leaves: implications for remote sensing SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE; CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY; SURFACE-AREA; RICE; STRESS; PLANTS; VEGETABLES; GROWTH; LEAD; PHOTOSYNTHESIS AB Arsenic (As) is a common soil contaminant that can be accumulated into plant parts. The ability to detect As in contaminated plants is an important tool to minimize As-induced health risks in humans. Near-infrared (NIR) spectra are strongly affected by leaf structural characteristics. Therefore, quantitative analyses of structural changes in the arrangement of mesophyll cells caused by As will help to explain spectral responses to As. The objectives of this study were to use stereological methods to quantify internal structural changes in leaves with As treatment in spinach plants, and to relate these changes to leaf spectral properties in NIR spectra. Hydroponically grown spinach was treated with 0, 5, 10 and 20 mol l-1 for four weeks in a growth chamber. Spectral properties of leaves were obtained for visible and infrared frequencies. Leaf structural properties, such as mesophyll thickness and mesophyll surface area, were measured using stereological methods. Quantitative analysis of leaf structure showed that total leaf thickness and intercellular spaces in spongy mesophyll cells decreased with increasing As treatment. Changes in leaf reflectance in NIR wavelengths were strongly correlated with leaf As concentration and leaf structural changes. Multiple linear regression of leaf reflectance values at the highest correlated wavelengths (1048, 1098 and 1080 nm) generated an R2 value of 0.69. Results from this study support the hypothesis that relationships between leaf structure and reflectance may be useful in the interpretation of spectral data to detect plant leaf As concentration.

Rusby) is one of the most widespread and abundant rangeland weeds in western North America. The objectives of this study were to evaluate airborne hyperspectral imagery and compare it with aerial colour-infrared (CIR) photography and multispectral digital imagery for mapping broom snakeweed infestations. Airborne hyperspectral imagery along with aerial CIR photographs and digital CIR images was acquired from a rangeland area in south Texas. The hyperspectral imagery was transformed using minimum noise fraction (MNF) and then classified using minimum distance, Mahalanobis distance, maximum likelihood, and spectral angle mapper (SAM) classifiers. The digitized aerial photographs and the digital images were respectively mosaicked as one photographic image and one digital image; these were then classified using the same classifiers. Accuracy assessment showed that the maximum likelihood classifier performed the best for the three types of images. The best overall accuracies for three-class classification maps (snakeweed, mixed woody and mixed herbaceous) were 91.0%, 92.5%, and 95.0%, respectively, for the CIR photographic image, the digital CIR image and the MNF-transformed hyperspectral image. Kappa analysis showed that there were no significant differences in maximum likelihood-based classifications among the three types of images. These results indicate that airborne hyperspectral imagery along with aerial photography and multispectral imagery can be used for monitoring and mapping broom snakeweed infestations on rangelands.

This research examines an approach for assessing changes in post-fire vegetation dynamics for sites in Spain, Israel and the USA that burned in 1998, 1999 and 2002 respectively. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time-series data (2000-07) are used for all sites to characterise and track the seasonal and spatial changes in vegetation response. Post-fire trends and metrics for burned areas are evaluated and compared with unburned reference sites to account for the influence of local environmental conditions. Time-series data interpretation provides insights into climatic influences on the post-fire vegetation. Although only two sites show increases in post-fire vegetation, all sites show declines in heterogeneity across the site. The evaluation of land surface phenological metrics, including the start and end of the season, the base and peak NDVI, and the integrated seasonal NDVI, show promising results, indicating trends in some measures of post-fire phenology. Results indicate that this monitoring approach, based on readily available satellite-based time-series vegetation data, provides a valuable tool for assessing post-fire vegetation response.

In a study conducted in sagebrush steppe rangelands after a 2000 wildfire at the United States Sheep Experiment Station in Idaho, the influence of delay and season of sheep grazing on vegetation recovery was measured. A moderate level of sheep grazing was started 1, 2, or 3 years after fire in the autumn or 2 or 3 years after fire in the spring. Pseudoroegneria spicata, the dominant perennial grass, and Crepis acuminata increased in the autumn and non-grazed treatments, whereas perennial forb and Crepis acuminata cover declined in the spring grazing treatments beginning the second year after fire. There was no impact of sheep grazing on cover of Bromus tectorum, an important exotic winter annual grass, probably owing to the lack of autumn germination. In this study, moderate sheep grazing had subtle impacts on vegetation recovery after fire, with spring grazing having more negative consequences. Management decisions on when to start grazing livestock after fire should consider pre-fire ecological conditions, post-fire climatic conditions, and current knowledge of impacts of grazing on plant recovery.

TI Experimental measurements during combustion of moist individual foliage samples SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article ID FIRE SPREAD; IGNITION BEHAVIOR; LIVE; LEAVES AB Individual samples of high moisture fuels from the western and southern United States and humidified aspen excelsior were burned over a flat-flame burner at 987 degrees +/- 12 degrees C and 10 +/- 0.5 mol% O(2). Time-dependent mass and temperature profiles of these samples were obtained and analysed. It was observed that significant amounts of moisture remained in the individual samples after ignition occurred. Temperature histories showed a plateau at 200 degrees-300 degrees C at the leaf perimeter rather than at 100 degrees C, with a plateau of 140 degrees C for the leaf interior. Implications are that classical combustion models should be altered to reflect the behaviour of moisture in high moisture (live) samples. Mass release rates were determined at ignition and maximum flame height; these appeared to vary due to surface area and perimeter, but no significant correlation was found for all species.

TI An examination of fire spread thresholds in discontinuous fuel beds SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article ID SURFACE AREA; MODEL; PROPAGATION; ARRAYS; VOLUME; WIND AB Many fuel beds, especially live vegetation canopies (conifer forests, shrub fields, bunch-grasses) contain gaps between vegetation clumps. Fires burning in these fuel types often display thresholds for spread that are observed to depend on environmental factors like wind, slope, and fuel moisture content. To investigate threshold spread behaviours, we conducted a set of laboratory burn experiments in artificial fuel beds where gap structure, depth, and slope were controlled. Results revealed that fire spread was limited by gap distance and that the threshold distance for spread was increased for deeper fuel beds and steeper slopes. The reasons for this behaviour were found using a high-speed thermal camera. Flame movements recorded by the camera at 120 Hz suggested fuel particles experience intermittent bathing of non-steady flames before ignition and that fuel particles across the gap ignited only after direct flame contact. The images also showed that the flame profile within the fuel bed expands with height, producing greater horizontal flame displacement in deeper beds. Slope, thus, enhances spread by increasing the effective depth in the uphill direction, which produces wider flames, and thereby increases the potential flame contact. This information suggests that fire spread across discontinuous fuel beds is dependent on the vertical flame profile geometry within the fuel bed and the statistical properties of flame characteristics.

TI An examination of flame shape related to convection heat transfer in deep-fuel beds SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE crown fires; discontinuous fuels; laminar flame model; wildfire convection heat transfer ID FIRE SPREAD; ARRAYS; WIND; PROPAGATION; RADIATION; ENERGY; MODEL AB Fire spread through a fuel bed produces an observable curved combustion interface. This shape has been schematically represented largely without consideration for fire spread processes. The shape and dynamics of the flame profile within the fuel bed likely reflect the mechanisms of heat transfer necessary for the pre-heating and ignition of the fuel during fire spread. We developed a simple laminar flame model for examining convection heat transfer as a potentially significant fire spread process. The flame model produced a flame profile qualitatively comparable to experimental flames and similar to the combustion interface of spreading fires. The model comparison to flame experiments revealed that at increasing fuel depths (> 0.7 m), lateral flame extension was increased through transition and turbulent flame behaviour. Given previous research indicating that radiation is not sufficient for fire spread, this research suggests that flame turbulence can produce the convection heat transfer (i.e. flame contact) necessary for fire spread particularly in vertically arranged, discontinuous fuels such as shrub and tree canopies.

However, it is possible that slope affects fire differently depending on the fuel bed. Six FIRETEC simulations using three different fuel beds on flat and upslope topography were used to examine this possibility. Fuel beds resembling grass, chaparral, and ponderosa pine forests were created in such a way that there were two specific locations with identical local fuel beds located around them. These fuel beds were each used for a flat-terrain simulation and an idealised-hill simulation in order to isolate the impacts of the topography without the complications of having different local fuels. In these simulations, fuel bed characteristics have a significant effect on the spread rate and perimeter shape of the fires on both flat ground and on the idealised smooth hill topography. The analysis showed that these simulated fires evolved as they travelled between the locations even on flat ground, and the accelerations and decelerations that affect the fire occurred at different times and at different rates depending on the fuel bed. The results of these simulations and analyses indicate that though some general principles are true for all fuel beds, there are differences in the way that fires react to non-homogeneous topographies depending on the fuel bed.

As indicated by conflicting advice in such lists, such characterisation is not without difficulties and disagreements. The flammability of vegetation is often described as having four components (ignitability, combustibility, sustainability and consumability). No standards or generally recognised test procedures exist for evaluating these components in plants. Some measurements of flammability include times for ignition, rate of flame spread, flame height and heat release rate. Often, the fire behaviour characteristics of a plant are derived from its physical and chemical characteristics. Thermogravimetric analysis and other thermal analyses of ground samples have long been used to characterise the thermal degradation of vegetation. More recently, researchers have used the oxygen consumption methodology to measure the heat released due to combustion of the vegetation. Although oxygen consumption calorimetry is an improvement in characterising plant flammability, translation of laboratory results to field conditions can be problematic and tests can be expensive.

Using bench-scale and mid-scale fire tests to obtain flammability properties of common building constructions and landscaping plants, a model is being developed to use fast predictive methods suitable for changing environments imposed on a parcel lot consisting of structures and ornamental plants. Eventually, the property owners and associated professionals will be able to view various fire scenarios with the ability to select building materials and shapes as well as select ornamental plant species and their placement for achieving the desired fire mitigation. The mathematical formulation presented at the 2006 BCC Research Symposium is partially shown here and some results are compared with (1) specialised testing of Class B burning brands (ASTM E108) in the cone calorimeter (ASTM E1354); (2) our refurbished and modified Lateral Ignition and Flame Travel Test (ASTM E1321 and E1317); (3) room-corner tests with oriented-strand board (ISO 9705); and (4) cone calorimeter tests of fire-resistive materials such as fire retardant-treated plywood and single-layer stucco-coated oriented-strand board.

TI Convective heat transfer in fire spread through fine fuel beds SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE characteristic heating distance; kiel-static probe; radiation; thermocouple; wildland fire; wind tunnel AB An extensive set of wind-tunnel fires was burned to investigate convective heat transfer ahead of a steadily progressing fire front moving across a porous fuel bed. The effects of fuel and environmental variables on the gas temperature profile and the 'surface wind speed' (gas velocity at the fuel bed surface) are reported. In non-zero winds, the temperature of the air near the fuel bed surface decays exponentially with distance from the fire front. In zero winds, the temperature decreases rapidly within a very short distance of the flame front, then decays slowly thereafter. The maximum air temperature decreases as the free stream wind speed, packing ratio and fuel moisture content increase. The characteristic distance of the exponential decay increases strongly with the free stream wind speed and decreases with the packing ratio and surface area-to-volume ratio of the fuel. The surface wind speed depends strongly on the free stream wind speed, and to a lesser extent on packing ratio, fuel bed depth and fuel moisture content. There are three general regimes for the surface flow: (1) a constant velocity flow of approximately half the free stream flow, far from the flame front; (2) an intermediate zone of minimum flow characterised by low or reversed flow; and (3) a region near the flame front where the velocity rises rapidly almost to the free stream velocity. The boundaries between the three regions move further from the flame front with increasing wind speed, in a way which is only slightly affected by fuel geometry. C1 [Butler, B.

As a first step in testing the feasibility of using a quantitative measure of turbulence as a stand-alone fire-weather index or as a component of a fire-weather index, simulations of the spatial and temporal patterns of turbulent kinetic energy during major recent wildfire events in the western Great Lakes and northeastern US regions were performed. Simulation results indicate that the larger wildfires in these regions of the US were associated with episodes of significant boundary-layer ambient turbulence. Case studies of the largest recent wildfires to occur in these regions indicate that the periods of most rapid fire growth were generally coincident with occurrences of the product of the Haines Index and near-surface turbulent kinetic energy exceeding a value of 15 m(2) s(-2), a threshold indicative of a highly turbulent boundary layer beneath unstable and dry atmospheric layers, which is a condition that can be conducive to erratic fire behaviour.

We feel, however, that their study design was inadequate to evaluate the accuracy of these methods when measured against a series of reference sites. Incorrect use may have contributed to the authors' inferences that the photo series method was the least accurate in this case.

TI NCEP-ECPC monthly to seasonal US fire danger forecasts SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE climate models; fire climatology ID REGIONAL SPECTRAL MODEL; REANALYSIS; CLIMATE; SYSTEM AB Five National Fire Danger Rating System indices (including the Ignition Component, Energy Release Component, Burning Index, Spread Component, and the Keetch-Byram Drought Index) and the Fosberg Fire Weather Index are used to characterise US fire danger. These fire danger indices and input meteorological variables, including temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, cloud cover and wind speed, can be skilfully predicted at weekly to seasonal time scales by a global to regional dynamical prediction system modified from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's Coupled Forecast System. The System generates global and regional spectral model ensemble forecasts, which in turn provide required input meteorological variables for fire danger. Seven-month US regional forecasts were generated every month from 1982 to 2007. This study shows that coarse-scale global predictions were more skilful than persistence, and fine-scale regional model predictions were more skilful than global predictions. The fire indices were better related to fire counts and area burned than meteorological variables, although relative humidity and temperature were useful predictors of fire characteristics.

Keyser, Daniel TI Mesoscale model simulation of the meteorological conditions during the 2 June 2002 Double Trouble State Park wildfire SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE fire weather; fire-weather forecasting ID REGION; FIRES AB On the morning of 2 June 2002, an abandoned campfire grew into a wildfire in the DoubleTrouble State Park in east-central New Jersey, USA. The wildfire burned 526 ha (1300 acres) and forced the closure of the Garden State Parkway for several hours due to dense smoke. In addition to the presence of dead and dry fuels due to a late spring frost prior to the wildfire, the meteorological conditions at the time of the wildfire were conducive to erratic fire behaviour and rapid fire growth. Observations indicate the occurrence of a substantial drop in relative humidity at the surface accompanied by an increase in wind speed in the vicinity of the wildfire during the late morning and early afternoon of 2 June. The surface drying and increase in wind speed are hypothesised to result from the downward transport of dry, high-momentum air from the middle troposphere occurring in conjunction with a deepening mixed layer. This hypothesis is addressed using a high-resolution mesoscale model simulation to document the structure and evolution of the planetary boundary layer and lower-tropospheric features associated with the arrival of dry, high-momentum air at the surface coincident with the sudden and dramatic growth of the wildfire.

TI Bare soil and rill formation following wildfires, fuel reduction treatments, and pine plantations in the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE cumulative effects; fire recovery; fuel treatments; prescribed burn; surface erosion ID COLORADO FRONT RANGE; SEDIMENT YIELD; WATER-QUALITY; FOREST-FIRE; EROSION; RUNOFF; INFILTRATION; HYDROLOGY; MOISTURE; IMPACTS AB Accelerated erosion commonly occurs after wildfires on forested lands. As burned areas recover, erosion returns towards prefire rates depending on many site-specific characteristics, including fire severity, vegetation type, soil type and climate. In some areas, erosion recovery can be rapid, particularly where revegetation is quick. Erosion recovery is less well understood for many fuel load reduction treatments. The rate of post-disturbance erosion recovery affects management options for forested lands, particularly when considering the combined ramifications of multiple disturbances on resource recovery rates (i.e. cumulative watershed effects). Measurements of percentage bare soil and rilling on over 600 plots in the southern Sierra Nevada with slopes less than 75% and within 1 km of roads were made between 2004 and 2006. Results suggest that after high-, moderate-or low-severity wildfire, rilling was seldom evident more than 4 years after fire. Percentage bare soil generally did not differ significantly between reference plots and wildfire plots greater than 6 years old. Little rilling was evident after treatment with a variety of fuel reduction techniques, including burning of machine-and hand-piled fuel, thinning, mastication, and crushing. Percentage bare soil at the fuel load reduction treatment plots also did not differ significantly from reference conditions. Percentage bare soil at pine plantation plots was noticeably higher than at reference sites. C1 [Berg, Neil H.] US Forest Serv, USDA, Pacific SW Res Stn, Albany, CA 94710 USA.

We evaluated the effects of seeding and fertilisation on the cover and richness of native and exotic plants and on individual plant species following the 2004 Pot Peak wildfire in Washington State, USA. We applied four seeding and three fertilisation treatments to experimental plots at eight burned sites in spring 2005 and surveyed vegetation during the first two growing seasons after fire. Seeding significantly reduced native non-seeded species richness and cover by the second year. Fertilisation increased native plant cover in both years, but did not affect plant species richness. Seeding and fertilisation significantly increased exotic cover, especially when applied in combination. However, exotic cover and richness were low and treatment effects were greatest in the first year. Seeding suppressed several native plant species, especially disturbance-adapted forbs. Fertilisation, in contrast, favoured several native understorey plant species but reduced tree regeneration. Seeding, even with native species, appears to interfere with the natural recovery of native vegetation whereas fertilisation increases total plant cover, primarily by facilitating native vegetation recovery.

In this study, we use piecewise logistic regression models of crown scorch data from 6633 trees in five wildfires from the Intermountain West to locate a mortality threshold at 88% scorch by volume for trees with no crown consumption. For trees with >40% crown consumption volume, linear regression indicates >85% mortality, but for trees with crown consumption volume <40%, there is a statistically significant, linear relationship between increasing crown scorch and increasing probability of mortality. Analysis of an independent 600+ tree dataset from Colorado produced similar results and supports the analysis approach. Crown scorch volume (>85%), crown consumption volume (>40%), and crown consumption between 5 and 40% combined with crown scorch volume >50% mortality thresholds could be incorporated into post-fire marking guidelines for forest management goals.

TI Adoption and perceptions of shelter-in-place in California's Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE alternatives to evacuation; community development; public safety; Stay and Defend or Leave early ID WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE; UNITED-STATES; WILDFIRE; EVACUATION; INNOVATION AB The increasing impact of wildland fire on human settlements in the USA, and a growing recognition that evacuation might not always to the safest option for those in the path of the flames, continue to spur consideration of alternatives to evacuation among the American public and its fire professionals. Alternatives to evacuation typically include the option for residents to remain in fire-hardened structures while the flames pass; however, it appears there is no clear consensus on whether existing Australian alternatives or new variations should be used in American communities, and if any option will reduce risks to residents and firefighters. This study uses structuration theory to analyse adoption of the shelter-in-place policy created by the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District in southern California. We interviewed professionals working in and around the District and the public affected by the policy. Results suggest that professional support and implementation of shelter-in-place are influenced by the breadth of their personal firefighting experience, their agencies' flexibility and constraints on innovation, and perceived potential liability for damage from adoption of alternatives. Resident knowledge and understanding of shelter-in-place are also lacking. We conclude with recommendations for continued development of alternatives to evacuation.

In this project, we evaluated two methods of mapping burn severity in the context of rapid post-fire assessment for four wildfires in western Montana using 64 plots as field reference: (1) an image-based burn severity mapping approach using the Differenced Normalised Burn Ratio, and (2) a fire effects simulation approach using the FIREHARM model. The image-based approach was moderately correlated with percentage tree mortality but had no relationship with percentage fuel consumption, whereas the simulation approach was moderately correlated with percentage fuel consumption and weakly correlated with percentage tree mortality. Burn severity maps produced by the two approaches had mixed results among the four sampled wildfires. Both approaches had the same overall map agreement when compared with a sampled composite burn index but the approaches generated different severity maps. Though there are limitations to both approaches and more research is needed to refine methodologies, these techniques have the potential to be used synergistically to improve burn severity mapping capabilities of land managers, enabling them to quickly and effectively meet rehabilitation objectives.

TI Integrating fuel treatment into ecosystem management: a proposed project planning process SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article ID DECISION-SUPPORT; UNCERTAINTY; VEGETATION; FRAMEWORK; SYSTEM AB Concern over increased wildland fire threats on public lands throughout the western United States makes fuel reduction activities the primary driver of many management projects. This single-issue focus recalls a management planning process practiced frequently in recent decades - a least-harm approach where the primary objective is first addressed and then plans are modified to mitigate adverse effects to other resources. In contrast, we propose a multiple-criteria process for planning fuel-treatment projects in the context of ecosystem management. This approach is consistent with policies that require land management activities be designed to meet multiple-use and environmental objectives, while addressing administrative and budget constraints, and reconciling performance measures from multiple policy directives. We present the process borrowing from the Trapper Bunkhouse Land Stewardship Project example to show the logic for conducting an integrated assessment of ecological and natural resource issues related to multiple management scenarios. The effects and trade-offs of the no-action scenario and proposed action alternatives are evaluated relative to silviculture, disturbance processes (including fire behaviour), wildlife habitat, noxious weeds, water quality, recreation and aesthetics, and economic contributions. Advantages and challenges of this project planning approach are also discussed. C1 [Stockmann, Keith D.] US Forest Serv, USDA, Missoula, MT 59807 USA. [Jones, J.

However, experimental tests of the effectiveness of seeding in meeting these objectives in forests are lacking. We conducted three experimental studies of the effectiveness of seeding with non-native and native species following three Arizona wildfires. Seeding treatments were largely ineffective in increasing vegetative cover or decreasing exposed bare ground. At one treatment at one fire, wheat seeding at the Warm Fire, senesced seeded annuals increased litter cover and resulted in lower bare ground values than unseeded controls. Only on one fire, the Warm Fire, did seeded non-native annuals establish well, resulting in 20-29% vegetative cover. On the other two fires, seeded cereal grains accounted for <3% cover. At all fires, native seeded species contributed between <1 and similar to 12% vegetative cover. Vegetative cover on all treatments, including unseeded treatments, was at or near 40% the first year following fire, at all three study sites. Non-native species richness and abundance did not differ among treatments at any fire. This study adds to growing evidence that post-fire seeding is ineffective in enhancing post-fire plant cover and reducing invasive non-native plants.

This paper describes an understorey fire propagating across the edges of a biomass burn of a cleared primary forest. The experiment was carried out in 2001 in the Amazon forest near Alta Floresta, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, as part of biomass burning experiments conducted in the same area since 1997. The vegetation of a 200 x 200-m(2) forested area was clear-cut in early June and burned in late August. The understorey fire that escaped from the main burn was monitored across the four sides of the land clearing area. Flame-front spread varied between 0.14 and 0.35 m min(-1). Maximum flame height was about 30 cm and typical flame depth was 10 to 15 cm. Tree mortality was investigated in 2003 in four areas adjacent to the biomass burning experiment. A total of 210 trees were counted in the four areas, 29.5% were dead as a consequence of the understorey fire that had occurred 2 years before. This fire-caused mortality is evidence of the synergistic effect between slash burning, tree mortality and future fire vulnerability on the forest-land clearing interfaces. C1 [Alvarado, E.

TI The economic cost of adverse health effects from wildfire-smoke exposure: a review SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Review DE epidemiology studies; forest fires; health damage; non-market valuation; particulate matter ID SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES; AIR-POLLUTION; FOREST-FIRES; HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS; DAILY MORTALITY; BUSHFIRE SMOKE; QUALITY; ASTHMA; IMPACT; CHILDREN AB The economic costs of adverse health effects associated with exposure to wildfire smoke should be given serious consideration in determining the optimal wildfire management policy. Unfortunately, the literature in this research area is thin. In an effort to better understand the nature of these economic costs, we review and synthesise the relevant literature in three areas: studies that estimated the health-related economic costs of wildfire-smoke exposure; epidemiology studies related to the health risk of wildfire smoke; and general economic studies that estimated the monetary value of preventing the specific adverse health outcomes. Based on the findings from this literature review, we identify the need for a better understanding of the effect of wildfire smoke on major and minor adverse health outcomes. It would also be useful to know more about averting behaviours among residents exposed to smoke during a wildfire event. Finally, we suggest investigating the unique health effects of wildfire smoke compared with conventional air pollution to determine whether it is appropriate to extrapolate from previously estimated conventional pollution dose-response functions.

TI Firebrands and spotting ignition in large-scale fires SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Review DE fire spread; forest fire; post-earthquake fire; urban conflagration; wildland-urban interface fire ID HIGH WINDS; FUEL BEDS; MODEL; TRAJECTORIES; ATMOSPHERE; TRANSPORT; BEHAVIOR; FLIGHT; URBAN AB Spotting ignition by lofted firebrands is a significant mechanism of fire spread, as observed in many large-scale fires. The role of firebrands in fire propagation and the important parameters involved in spot fire development are studied. Historical large-scale fires, including wind-driven urban and wildland conflagrations and post-earthquake fires are given as examples. In addition, research on firebrand behaviour is reviewed. The phenomenon of spotting fires comprises three sequential mechanisms: generation, transport and ignition of recipient fuel. In order to understand these mechanisms, many experiments have been performed, such as measuring drag on firebrands, analysing the flow fields of flame and plume structures, collecting firebrands from burning materials, houses and wildfires, and observing firebrand burning characteristics in wind tunnels under the terminal velocity condition and ignition characteristics of fuel beds. The knowledge obtained from the experiments was used to develop firebrand models. Since Tarifa developed a firebrand model based on the terminal velocity approximation, many firebrand transport models have been developed to predict maximum spot fire distance. Combustion models of a firebrand were developed empirically and the maximum spot fire distance was found at the burnout limit. Recommendations for future research and development are provided.

TI Using fuzzy C-means and local autocorrelation to cluster satellite-inferred burn severity classes SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article ID SPATIAL ASSOCIATION; CLASSIFICATION; ALGORITHMS; FIRE AB Burn severity classifications derived from multitemporal Landsat Thematic Mapper images and the Normalised Burn Ratio (NBR) are commonly used to assess the post-fire ecological effects of wildfires. Ongoing efforts to retrospectively map historical burn severity require defensible, objective methods of classifying continuous differenced Normalised Burn Ratio (dNBR) data where field data are often unavailable. For three fires, we compare three methods of classifying pre- and post-fire Landsat data: (1) dNBR classification using Composite Burn Index (CBI) field data to assign severity classes; (2) fuzzy C-means classification of a dNBR image; (3) local Getis-Ord statistic (Gi*) output applied to a dNBR image, classified using fuzzy C-means clustering. We then use a Kappa statistic to evaluate the agreement of severity classes assigned to a pixel with its corresponding CBI plot. For two of the three fires, the C-means clustering of the dNBR and the Gi* output performed as well or better than dNBR images classified using CBI data, with strong agreement for moderate-and high-severity classes. These results suggest that clustering of dNBR data may be a suitable approach for classifying burn severity data without field data. This method may also be useful as a tool for rapid post-fire assessments (e.g. Burned Area Emergency Response and Burned Area Reflectance Classification maps), where images must often be classified quickly and subjectively. Further analysis using additional field data and across different vegetation types will be necessary to better understand the importance of localised spatial variability in classifying burn severity data or other remote sensing change-detection analyses.

Thus far we have witnessed expansive growth of costs without any investment planning. New economic realities and more focussed oversight by regulating organisations are forcing agencies with fire protection responsibilities to formally justify their fire protection budget requests. The fire economics evaluation system described here (SINAMI) is the first attempt by Spain's National Forest System to help agencies with fire responsibilities perform an economic analysis of their budget requests for fire management and protection. SINAMI uses a marginal analysis and the economic criterion of cost-plus-net-value change (C+NVC) to determine the most efficient program and budget level for fire protection for a simulated fire season. The results are used in establishing strategic fire management plans to respond to historical fire situations. The model also provides information on number of fires and area affected by fire intensity level, as well as the number and type of firefighting resources used through the simulated fire season. The SINAMI model is based on the original structure of the National Fire Management Analysis System developed by the USDA Forest Service, expanded and adapted to Spanish conditions.

Knowledge of the severity is important to infer long-term biogeochemical, ecological, and societal impacts, but understanding the sensitivity of any severity mapping method to variations in soil type and increasing charcoal (char) cover is essential before widespread adoption. Through repeated spectral analysis of increasing charcoal quantities on six representative soils, we found that addition of charcoal to each soil resulted in linear spectral mixing. We found that performance of the Normalised Burn Ratio was highly sensitive to soil type, whereas the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index was relatively insensitive. Our conclusions have potential implications for national programs that seek to monitor long-term trends in wildfire severity and underscore the need to collect accurate soils information when evaluating large-scale wildland fires.

The system will help safeguard PGR and information vital to global food security, and encourage PGR use. Developed jointly by the USDA Agricultural Research Service, Bioversity International and the Global Crop Diversity Trust, GRIN-Global will be deployed in selected plant genebanks worldwide in 2010. The .NET Framework and Visual Studio development environment were chosen for the project. A core set of web services, enterprise services or other technologies will update data stored locally or on networks, distribute centralized data to off-site systems, and enable third party data sharing. The database and interface(s) will accommodate commercial and open-source programming tools, be database-flexible (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle) and require no licensing fees. The database will be deployable on stand-alone computers or networked systems. Iterative programming strategies will support continuous product evaluation and refinement; advanced prototypes will be extensively beta-tested. GRIN-Global supports uploading and downloading passport, phenotype and molecular marker data in a spreadsheet format. Bioversity International will deploy GRIN-Global internationally, working cooperatively to document the new system in Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish, translate its interface, and implement it in developing countries. Implementation will be monitored and barriers to adoption identified. Users will evaluate GRIN-Global's impact and suggest improvements following implementation.

Microsatellite markers or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are ideal for cultivar fingerprinting, paternity testing and identity certification. Fingerprinting is valuable for variety identification, quality control and as a legal method to protect against infringement by competitors. The objectives of this study were to develop a DNA extraction protocol and SSR-based identification for individually quick-frozen (IQF) 'Marion' and 'Kotata' whole berries and concentrate and to generate genetic fingerprints for 16 important western blackberry cultivars. IQF berries and frozen concentrate of 'Marion' and 'Kotata' were generously provided by reliable commercial sources. The FAST ID Kit worked better than two other DNA extraction methods for isolating DNA from IQF berries and from frozen and thawed concentrate. Out of twenty-nine SSRs tested, ten polymorphic SSRs differentiated between 'Marion' and 'Kotata' leaves and were chosen for subsequent analyses. SSR-based fingerprinting of individual IQF berries (using the receptacle for DNA extraction) revealed a mixture of 'Kotata' and 'Marion' berries in the commercial 'Marion' bag while fingerprinting of frozen 'Marion' concentrate identified 'Kotata' in the small frozen puree sample evaluated and possible contamination from seed DNA. The ten SSRs differentiated between each of the 16 western cultivars included in this study. In fact, one SSR marker, Rubus 275a was sufficient to distinguish these 16 cultivars. In summary, blackberry can be reliably identified with SSR markers, using leaves and frozen berries as sources of DNA. Fingerprinting from concentrate does not appear reliable for identity certification due to possible contamination from seed DNA. C1 [Bassil, N.

About 377 accessions belong to 10 species of Vaccinium section Myrtillus. This section is restricted to the Northern Hemisphere where its primary center of diversity occurs around the Pacific Rim in high elevations from Alaska to Guatemala and in mountains of Japan, Kurile, Sakhalin, and Hawaiian Islands, and Russian Siberia. The first objective of this study was to use microsatellite or simple sequence repeat markers (SSR) previously isolated from domestic blueberry, to uniquely identify three clones of Ohelo berry, V. reticulatum, selected for their ornamental qualities. The second objective was to evaluate the SSR markers for cross-transference to other species within Section Myrtillus including: two genotypes from another endemic Hawaiian species, V. calycinum; 17 representatives from seven North American species (V. caespitosum, V. deliciosum, V. membranaceum, V. myrtillus, V. ovalifolium, V. parvifolium, and V. scoparium), and in two accessions of V. praestans from Sakahlin Island, Russian Federation and one genotype from Hokaido, Japan. As many as eighteen microsatellite markers cross-amplified and appeared polymorphic in most of the genotypes evaluated. The three V. reticulatum genotypes were uniquely identified with eight SSR primer pairs. UPGMA clustering based on nine microsatellite primer pairs clearly separated the Hawaiian taxa and grouped V. praestans together. Two accessions of V. myrtillus (V myrt 1684-1, V myrt 1684-3) collected from within the Kalmiopsis Wilderness of southern Oregon had identical fingerprints indicating a clonal relationship. Conserved primers that amplify what appear to be single loci SSRs are recommended for population genetic analyses in diploid Vaccinium section Myrtillus taxa including V. calycinum, V. reticulatum, V. scoparium and V. praestans. SSR-based analysis indicated high diversity in other taxa of section Myrtillus and the need for a larger amount of accessions from each species, additional markers or sequence-based markers, for taxonomic resolution.

AB An applied breeding program focused on the improvement of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra) for edible nut production was initiated at the University of Missouri in 1996. Eighty four cultivars were grown as 158 trees in three replicated clonal repositories. Beginning in 2003, the collection was characterized using seven phenological descriptors: date of budbreak, first pistillate bloom, peak pistillate bloom, first pollen shed, peak pollen shed, nut harvest date and season length. In 2004, all trees were further characterized using 10 microsatellite markers. Genetic fingerprinting showed that the collection contained 57 cultivars rather than the expected 84, which we attribute to past propagation errors. Fingerprinting results generally agreed with the phenological data. The utility of phenological data for discriminating genotypes was affected by specific descriptor and tree size. First pistillate bloom, first pollen shed and season length calculated on a date basis had the smallest coefficients of variation for the seven phenological descriptors used in this study.

Recently, there has also been increased interest in the use of SSR markers in black raspberry (R. occidentalis subgenus Idaeobatus) to aid in the identification and characterization of new sources of genetic diversity for breeding, and to aid in the development of a core collection of the 208 seed and clonal accessions at the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Corvallis, Oregon. The objective of this study was to determine the suitability of SSR markers developed in other Rubus species for use in black raspberry. Amplification and optimum annealing temperatures of 112 Rubus SSR primer pairs were determined in the black raspberry 'Munger' by gradient polymerase chain reaction. A panel of 15 cultivars and wild black raspberry accessions was used to evaluate these SSR primers for polymorphism, using 3% agarose gel electrophoresis. This led to the identification of 27 primer pairs that appeared to generate polymorphic markers. Marker quality and genetic relationships were evaluated by fragment analysis in 12 cultivated and 4 wild genotypes using 20 of these markers after separation by capillary electrophoresis.

The orchard Malus collection includes hundreds of M. sieversii and M. orientalis individuals. These wild relative species are valued primarily for their diverse alleles, rather than for their specific genotypes. We have developed core collections based on both phenotypic and genotypic (microsatellite) characters to identify a limited number of individuals that represent the diversity of the wild collections. In addition to maintaining selected individuals in orchard core collections, we propose that wild species should be conserved as seeds from strategically selected crosses. This would ensure that many diverse individuals are available for future selection and physiology programs, rather than a limited number of specific genotypes. Crosses have been performed among core collection individuals for two of the three complementary core collections proposed for the M. sieversii collection to produce seeds that can be stored for long-term storage. This conservation approach that promotes preservation of selected clones as well as diverse sets of seeds for vegetatively propagated collections has several advantages. It ensures that valuable alleles in wild collections are conserved, reduces the labor involved in cryopreserving vegetative propagules, and also maintains diverse individuals in field settings that are available for pollen and dormant budwood distribution.

We evaluated 8 "universal" plastid primers and qualified three as polymorphic and informative. Pecans (Carya illinoinensis) of known lineage and geographic origin, representatives of other Carya species and interspecific hybrids were profiled. In an analysis of 169 Carya accessions, 21 alleles were observed at the three loci, and combined to form 16 unique plastid microsatellite (cpSSR) haplotypes. Open-pollinated seedlings of a common maternal parent had the same haplotype as each other and the seed parent. Sympatric species of the genus share common plastid haplotypes, while Asian species and the Mexican endemic Carya palmeri have unique profiles. Of the 151 pecans profiled, the 11 haplotypes were found to vary in relation to latitude of origin: Mexican pecan populations were the most diverse with nine haplotypes, five of which were found only in Mexico. Northern US pecan populations were characterized by two haplotypes also found in members of section Carya and in Mexico. Plastid markers have been used to maximize diversity in the establishment of seed stock trials for disease resistance. C1 [Grauke, L. J.] ARS, USDA, 10200 FM 50, Somerville, TX 77879 USA.

Genebanks must manage their collections in ways that promote their utilization by increasing access to not only the living materials but also to the vast amounts of data that describe them. Documentation of ecological, phenotypic, pedigree, and genetic data associated with genebank accessions is critical for the efficient use of genetic resources.

Through dedicated efforts of many researchers worldwide, a wealth of genomics resources has accumulated, including EST libraries, genetic and physical maps, QTLs, and whole genome sequences. The potential of genomics approaches to enhance crop improvement, particularly through marker-assisted breeding (MAB), is enormous, but unfulfilled. The U. S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding community, with strong international involvement, has united behind the goal of translational genomics and collaborated on the development of large-scale USDA grant proposals. RosBREED, funded for four years from September 2009, incorporates eight teams (Breeding, Socio-Economics, Pedigree-Based Analysis, Breeding Information Management System, Genomics, Genotyping, MAB Pipeline, and Extension) in a transdisciplinary framework that involves significant educational and outreach activities and stakeholder participation. Objectives are to (1) enhance the likelihood of new cultivar adoption, enlarge market potential, and increase consumption of Rosaceae fruits with socio-economics knowledge objectively used in breeding decisions; (2) establish a sustainable technical infrastructure for an efficient MAB Pipeline in Rosaceae; (3) integrate breeding and genomics resources with a standardized breeding information management system incorporating Pedigree-Based Analysis; (4) implement MAB in core RosBREED breeding programs with a common focus on fruit quality traits; and (5) enhance sustainability of cultivar development with MAB technology transfer to current and future U. S. Rosaceae breeders and engagement of key stakeholder groups. Coordinated action is now required to make RosBREED a reality and fulfill the promise of genomics.

The disease is caused by two closely related Tombusviruses: Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) and Lettuce necrotic stunt virus (LNSV). A single dominant gene (Tvr1) on chromosomal linkage group 2 has been found to be responsible for the resistance observed in modern iceberg lettuces. A population of 192 F-8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from crosses between the susceptible romaine cultivar 'Valmaine' and the resistant iceberg cultivars 'Salinas 88' and 'Salinas' was used to pinpoint the position of the resistance gene with EST-based molecular markers. Nine markers closely linked to the Tvr1 gene were subsequently tested for association with resistance in a set of 68 accessions from all horticultural types of lettuce. Sequencing of the marker that matched precisely with resistance revealed the presence of three haplotypes in L. sativa, two of them associated with resistance. High-resolution DNA melting analysis, which allows detection of all three haplotypes in a single analysis, was successfully applied to study the marker-trait association. Results confirmed the usefulness of the marker for marker-assisted selection in all types of cultivated lettuce. C1 [Simko, I.; Pechenick, D.

This systems approach is based on poor host status, limited distribution and low prevalence. Recent surveys suggest oriental fruit fly populations are naturally low in Hawaii's small avocado orchards. Maintaining low oriental fruit fly numbers in orchards during the shipping period should reduce the rate of infestation to negligible levels. Population levels will be monitored using protein bait traps and if needed, suppression will be achieved using selective reduced-isk insecticide baits. 'Sharwil' avocados will be shipped only to northern tier states and will only be shipped during the winter months of November to March, when temperatures in the distribution area are inhospitable to tropical fruit pests. The cumulative effect of multiple safeguards should provide quarantine security against oriental fruit fly and other quarantine pests in exported avocados. C1 [Follett, P. A.; Vargas, R.

The main pathogens of longan and rambutans were isolated and identified as Lasmenia, Colletotrichum, Pestalotiopsis and Phomopsis. In vitro sensitivity of these pathogens to registered fungicides was established, and Serenade (R) (a patented strain of Bacillus subtilis) was 100% effective at all test concentrations. However, when Serenade (R) was applied as a preharvest field treatment, it did not control postharvest diseases or improve quality of rambutans or longans. In postharvest studies, optimum storage temperatures and packaging systems were established. Package treatments included microperforated bags, clamshell containers, Peakfresh (R) film, and Lifespan (R) film. For longans, the sensory quality was maintained, overall disease incidence minimized, and shelf-life extended when microperforated packages or clamshell containers were stored at 10 degrees C. The modified atmospheres (15% CO2 and 7% O-2) inside Peakfresh (R) packages adversely affected longan flavor. Rambutans stored in the clamshell, microperforated bag, or Peakfresh (R) packages had higher visual quality ratings and lower disease incidences when stored at constant 10 degrees C compared to simulated shipping temperatures. Rambutans held under simulated shipping temperatures in microperforated bags or clamshells had disease incidences that were 2-3 times higher than when stored at constant 10 degrees C. Rambutans stored in Peakfresh (R) packages had the best overall quality ratings and lowest disease incidence, but lowest flavor ratings. C1 [Wall, M. M.; Nishijima, K. A.; Keith, L.

If applied at late growth stages, while cereals are developing reproductive parts, the herbicides can reduce seed production. We tested whether growth regulators have this same effect on the invasive annual grass Japanese brome. The herbicides 2,4-D, dicamba, and picloram were applied at typical field use rates to Japanese brome at various growth stages in a greenhouse. Picloram reduced seed production nearly 100% when applied at the internode elongation, boot, or heading stages of growth, whereas dicamba appeared to be slightly less effective and 2,4-D was much less effective. Our results indicate it may be possible to control Japanese brome by using growth regulator herbicides to reduce its seed production, thereby depleting its short-lived seed bank.

Clauss, Marcus TI White Sweetclover (Melilotus albus) and Narrowleaf Hawksbeard (Crepis tectorum) Seed Germination after Passing through Moose SO INVASIVE PLANT SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Endozoic distribution; endozoochorous dispersal; seed transport ID CANADIAN WEEDS; PASSAGE; BIOLOGY; MARKERS; ALASKA AB White sweetclover and narrowleaf hawksbeard are nonindigenous invasive plant species in Alaska that are rapidly spreading, including into areas that are otherwise free of nonindigenous plants. There has been concern that native moose could be dispersing germinable seed from these plants after ingestion. To address this concern, a study was conducted involving tame moose at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station, Matanuska Experiment Farm, Palmer, AK. Objectives were to determine if seeds from these two plant species could survive mastication and digestive passage through moose, whether this passage impacted seed germination, and whether seed passage rates were the same as similar sized Cr-mordanted Fiber. In this study, narrowleaf hawksbeard seed rarely survived mastication and digestion with only five seedlings recovered from 42,000 germinable seed fed to the moose. About 16% of germinable white sweetclover seed (3,595 of 22,000) fed to the moose produced seedlings. Most of the sweetclover seedlings came from feces produced 2 and 3 d after feeding. In two moose, sweetclover seedlings were grown from fecal material that was passed 11 d after feeding, raising the possibility that seeds could be transported long distances after ingestion. Cr-mordanted Fiber passage did not closely follow seedling producing seed, possibly because time in the rumen might reduce seed germination. Once roadsides in Alaska become infested with white sweetclover, moose can then serve as a transport vector of these weeds into river channels and floodplains, which are distant from roads. This information will impact white sweetclover management programs and alert land managers to the potential for other instances of wildlife-mediated seed dispersal.

However, weed control measures can also have unintended consequences that should be considered along with intended effects. We conducted a controlled field experiment within bunchgrass communities of western Montana to examine if broadcast application of the broadleaf herbicide, picloram, may mitigate impacts of the exotic forb, spotted knapweed, on the dominant native grass, bluebunch wheatgrass, and forb, arrowleaf balsam root. Local-scale relationships between native species and spotted knapweed cover served as a baseline for evaluating treatment effects at differing spotted knapweed invasion levels. To examine secondary invasion, we also measured treatment effects on the exotic grass, downy brome, relative to initial levels of spotted knapweed cover. Picloram application suppressed spotted knapweed cover by 70 to 80%. Treatment appeared to release cover and seed production of bluebunch wheatgrass, causing increases that varied positively with initial spotted knapweed cover. Bluebunch wheatgrass measures were elevated by as much as fourfold in treated vs. control plots, exceeding baseline levels in noninvaded plots. For arrowleaf balsamroot, negative effects of treatment prevailed, particularly where initial spotted knapweed cover was low. Arrowleaf balsamroot cover and fecundity variables were reduced by as much as 60% in treated vs. control plots, to levels typifying baseline conditions in highly invaded plots. In addition, treatment released downy brome, with cover increases from 2- to 20-fold. A controlled experiment selectively removing spotted knapweed showed similar release of downy brome. Our results show that picloram effects can depend on initial levels of weed invasion and may include substantial side effects, particularly when broadcast applications are used. Integrated approaches that include seeding of desirable species may be needed to enhance plant community resistance to secondary invaders and reinvasion by the target weed.

This article was aimed at optimizing the procedure of estimating the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of turbid homogeneous media from spatially-resolved diffuse reflectance data. A diffusion model and the inverse algorithm were first validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Sensitivity analysis was performed to gain an insight into the relationship between the estimated parameters and the dependent variables in the inverse algorithm for improving the parameter estimation procedure. Three data transformation and the relative weighting methods were compared in the nonlinear least squares regression. It is found that the logarithm and integral data transformation and relative weighting methods greatly improve estimation accuracy with the relative errors of 10.4%, 10.7% and 11.4% for the absorption coefficient, and 6.6%, 7.0% and 7.1% for the reduced scattering coefficient, respectively. Further statistical analysis shows that the logarithm transformation and relative weighting methods give more reliable estimations of the optical parameters. To accurately estimate the optical parameters, it is important to study and quantify the characteristics and properties of the mathematical model and its inverse algorithm.

Although variation in virulence within the pathogen population, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, had been observed, differentiation of isolates into races did not occur for 70 years. Currently, three races (0, 1, and 2) of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum have been described. Races 0 and 1 were first described in 1963 and race 2 was described in 1973. Although race 1 is the predominant race, race 2 appears to be spreading in the U.S. and its presence has been confirmed in eight states. Losses from Fusarium wilt were managed for many years through the use of cultivars that were resistant to race 1. However, the prevalence and severity of Fusarium wilt in watermelon has been increasing in the eastern U.S. in the past decade. This increase has coincided with a large increase in production of triploid watermelon cultivars. Most triploid cultivars evaluated in 2002 and 2005 in a field with a mixture of races 1 and 2 were rated susceptible to Fusarium wilt. In 2009 cultivars which were reported to be resistant to F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum race 1 were evaluated and many also exhibited severe wilt. During surveys of the watermelon production region in Maryland and Delaware from 2000 to 2007, some isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum were found that appeared to be more virulent than any of the previously described races. Two isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum collected in Maryland in 2001 along with reference isolates of races 0, 1, and 2 were compared for virulence, host range and vegetative compatibility. Race identification was made on eight differential watermelon genotypes. Both Maryland isolates were highly virulent, causing 65-100% wilt on all differentials, two of which were PI-296341-FR (FL) and PI-296341-FR (OK) considered highly resistant to race 2. Both isolates were nonpathogenic on muskmelon, cucumber, pumpkin and squash. Two additional isolates collected in Maryland in 2007 also were tested. These studies demonstrated that the four Maryland isolates were more virulent than race 2 and are proposed as a new race 3. Although most fields surveyed had a predominant population of race 1, the presence of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum race 2 and the discovery of race 3 highlight the need for the development of new resistant cultivars.

The genetic diversity of cultivated watermelon is very narrow, which is a major limiting factor of its breeding. Therefore it is necessary to develop new resources that can be used to widen watermelon genetic basis. We have initiated the Watermelon Whole Genome Sequencing project and currently have generated Solexa sequences which represent more than 89.9X coverage of the genome of watermelon cv. '97103' and covered 95% of the whole genome and 98% of the genic region. Further genome sequencing of '97103' using the traditional Sanger technology, comparative genome sequencing of watermelon cv. '90-4304' (10X coverage Solexa sequences), genome annotation is currently underway. In addition, using Roche 454 GS-FLX massively parallel pyrosequencing technology, we have generated 715,059 ESTs with an average length of 250 bp from fruits of '97103' during different developmental stages. These sequences are being assembled and functionally annotated. SSR markers and pathway prediction have been analyzed preliminarily. A comprehensive digital expression map during watermelon fruit development is being created. Furthermore, we have constructed a SSH library from root tissues of watermelon cv. 'PI296341-FR' infected by Fusarium wilt race1 and randomly sequenced approximately 3,895 SSH clones. Sequence analysis indicated that 28.3% of the unique ESTs were related to defense response, signal transduction and interaction with the environment. GFP gene is used as the marker to detect the infection process of Fusarium wilt in root tissue. Three hundred twenty-four SSR and EST-SSR markers consist of the watermelon RIL SSR genetic map. The relationships between four Chromosomes and the genome are identified by FISH.

The common cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) always develop white fruit with lower carotenoid, 22-48 mu g/100 g fresh weight. While "Xishuangbanna gourd" (XIS; Cucumis sativus var. xishuangbannanesis Qi et Yuan) develops orange fruit rich in carotenoid, similar to 700 mu g/100 g flesh weight, which makes this germplasm attractive to plant improvement programs interested in improving the nutrition of cucumber. Until now there is no further understanding of the carotenoid in cucumber on molecular lever. A study was designed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with orange color fruit flesh using two F2 populations derived from parental lines with white flesh ['EC1' and 'Gy7'] crossed to orange flesh ['SWCC9' and USDA #14 derived from XIS]. Two genetic linkage maps were constructed with the markers of RAPD, SCAR, SSR, EST, SNP, AFLP and SSAP, which defined a common collinear region containing four molecular markers (3 dominant and 1 codominant) on linkage group (LG) LG6 in Map 1 and LG3 in Map 2. These regions contained QTL associated with orange mesocarp (mc)/endocarp (ec) color [mc6.1/ec6.1 (Map1) and mc3.1/ec3.1 (Map2)]. Biochemical analyses indicated that beta-carotene (beta) and xanthophyll (x) were the two predominant carotenoids in mc and ec tissue. QTLs controlling the content of beta-carotene in endocarp (edb3.1) and xanthophyll in mesocarp (mdx3.1) mapped to the same interval as mc3.1 and ec3.1, respectively, in Map2. Moreover, one cucumber carotenoid biosynthesis gene, NCED (9-cis-Epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase), mapped to the same interval as orange flesh color QTLs (mc6.1/ec6.1 and mc3.1/ec3.1) in both maps. The QTLs identified herein should be considered for use in marker-assisted selection for introgression of beta-carotene genes into commercial cucumber.

The effect of low-oxygen, modified atmosphere storage on irradiation efficacy has not been addressed until recently. Hypoxia for 18 hours before irradiation until a couple of hours after irradiation reduced efficacy to varying degrees as measured by adult development or reproduction for four insects studied. It is recommended that irradiation phytosanitary treatments not be approved for commodities stored under hypoxic conditions until adequate research determines the effect of the specific modified atmosphere on efficacy and provides proper solutions on a case by case basis.

Fruit harvested from a commercial orchard in north central Washington were cooled to 0.5 degrees C within 36 h of harvest and then stored in air or CA with 2 kPa O-2 + 0.05 kPa CO2; 0.25 kPa O-2 + 0.05 kPa CO2 or 2 kPa O-2 + 3 kPa CO2 for up to 6 months. Fruit were treated with 2 mM MJ or 1 mu l.L-1 1-MCP at harvest. Both CA conditions and 1-MCP treatment reduced ethylene production, improved maintenance of firmness and titratable acidity and reduced incidence of core flush during long-term storage compared with untreated fruit stored in air. Treatment with 1-MCP was as or more effective than low CO2-CA storage for reducing ethylene production and preservation of firmness and acidity for both cultivars. 'Fuji' apples stored in 3 kPa CO2 developed internal browning (CO2-injury) while fruit stored in 0.25 kPa O-2 with 0.05 kPa CO2 or air did not, regardless of 1-MCP treatment. 'Braeburn' apples also developed internal browning during air-or CA-storage, regardless of CO2 concentration. Severity of browning in 'Fuji' and 'Braeburn' apples stored in 3 kPa CO2 was not altered by previous 1-MCP treatment. However, browning severity increased by the 1-MCP treatment when 'Braeburn' fruit were stored in air or low CO2 CA. Treatment with MJ reduced severity of CO2-injury in fruit of both cultivars stored in high CO2 CA. The treatment with 1-MCP and storage in air or CA with 2 kPa O-2 and low (<= 0.05 kPa) CO2 may be a practical strategy for maximum retention of firmness and acidity with minimum development of CO2-injury in susceptible cultivars.

High oxygen treatment increased the levels of total anthocyanins, total phenolics as well as several individual flavonoid compounds during the first 21 days of storage for blueberries and first 7 days of storage for strawberries. Antioxidant activity, measured as oxygen radical absorbance capacity or ORAC, also increased in these fruits during the same period after exposure of the fruit to superatmospheric oxygen concentrations. However, these effects diminished with prolonged storage duration. No significant differences in total anthocyanins, total phenolics, ORAC values or individual flavonoid compounds were observed between high oxygen and air-treated fruit during the later part of storage. Little differences were also found in titratable acidity, total soluble solids or surface color among the fruits treated with various concentrations of oxygen throughout the storage period. These results suggest that high oxygen treatments may improve the antioxidant activities of blueberry and strawberry fruits during the initial stage of storage.

A field study was conducted to determine the effect of Promalin on the growth of mangosteen seedlings. Year-old seedlings were transplanted to the field in Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico. Four applications of Promalin were used as a foliar spray at concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 mg/L beginning when seedlings were approximately 2.5 years old, and then every 10 to 15 weeks over a period of almost one year. Final measurements were made 10 weeks after the final application, and 353 days after treatment initiation, when seedlings were 3.5 years old. No significant differences were observed in plant height, stem diameter, or number of branches and leaves. C1 ARS, USDA, Trop Agr Res Stn, Mayaguez, PR 00680 USA.

The purpose of this research was to survey potential vectors of Xf in plantings of coffee, Coffee arabica L., in Puerto Rico. These surveys were conducted from June to November 2006 on four farms, located in the municipalities of Yauco, Juana Diaz and Adjuntas. Insects were collected at each site at 15-day intervals. The 7,423 individuals collected belonged to five families and 12 species. Cicadellidae was the primary family in both number of species and number of individuals. Indexes of dominance, abundance, frequency and constancy showed Agallia pulchra, Apogonalia imitatrix, Caribovia coffeacola and Hortensia similis to be the predominant species. Indexes also showed significant differences among locations, with higher diversity and equitability on Yauco farms, and higher dominance in Adjuntas. Of the four dominant species, Apogonalia imitatrix, C. coffeacola and H. similis are all xylem fluid feeders, and thus may be potential vectors of Xf. Apogonalia imitatrix represents the first report of the species for Puerto Rico. C1 [Marino-Cardenas, Yobana] Univ Puerto Rico Mayaguez, Coll Agr Sci, Dept Crop Protect, Mayaguez, PR USA.

The choice of biomass and the conversion technology employed to produce renewable fuels determine the product yields, fuel quality and consequently the process efficiency. Guayule, a perennial shrub native to the southwestern United States, is currently cultivated as a source of natural rubber latex. However, after latex extraction, about 90% of the crop is used for low value biomass markets or simply goes to waste. Residual biomass from guayule presents an opportunity as a solid fuel resource that is already collected, on-site, and is a suitable ligno-cellulosic conversion feedstock. Using Py-GC/MS, we characterized the starting material of whole guayule shrub (G1) and solid waste streams, including ground bagasse from the industrial latex extraction process (G4), ground whole shrub minus resin (G2), and ground whole shrub minus resin and rubber (G3). These waste streams contain varying amounts of resin and rubber compounds. We measured the energy content of these streams and compared their compositions based on Py-GC/MS pyrograms. Catalytic and non-catalytic pyrolysis reactions were performed. It was found that the stem-derived latex-extracted guayule bagasse (G4) is the material with the most thermochemical energy potential. Whole shrub (G1) is the next in energy content. The gross energy content declined as resin is removed (G2) and further declined with the removal of resin and rubber (G3). The pyrograms showed fragmentation of the biomass polysaccharides and lignin polymers to compounds that have chemical energy, which provides support to the gross energy profiles.

Barrows were assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups with (CTP; n = 15) and without (Control; n = 15) the in-feed inclusion of CTP (10% rate as fed) for 13 days. On day 13, all pigs were orally dosed with Novobiocin (Nov) and Nalidixic Acid (Nal) resistant E. coli F18 (10 mL 7x10(8) CFU) at 0 h. Serial blood samples were collected via an indwelling jugular catheter inserted on day 12 at hourly intervals from 0-8 h and then at 12, 24, 36 and 48 h. Differential blood cell populations were enumerated hourly from 0-8 h and at 12, 24, 36 and 48 h. Serum cortisol, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) concentrations were determined via porcine-specific ELISAs at all time points. After 48 h, all pigs were euthanized and samples collected from ileal, cecal and rectal contents for selective E. coli F18 standard plate counts on Nov and Nal-treated media. White blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophages were decreased (p<0.05) from baseline equally in both treatments by 48 h. A more rapid cortisol suppression (p<0.05) was observed in CTP-treated piglets after inoculation with a subsequent return to baselin in both treatments. The production of IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma were unaffected by treatment or inoculation. However, the inclusion of CTP suppressed (p<0.05) ileal and cecal E. coli F18 recovery compared to controls and completely eliminated rectal recovery of the pathogen. These results demonstrate that the potentially therapeutic effects of CTP are the result of direct microbial modulation independent of an immune response. Therefore, supplementation of CTP challenges; consequently preventing the diversion of energy towards maintaining innate and adaptive immune responses and liberating it for growth related processes.

Previous studies have discovered SNP associated with economically important traits such as litter size, growth rate, and feed intake. The objective of this study was to test for association of candidate SNP with sow prolificacy reproductive traits in gilts of a Landrace-Duroc-Yorkshire composite population. Association analyses regressed additive ( A), dominant ( D), and imprinting ( I) SNP effects on each trait with an animal model. A carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A SNP and a glycogen synthase 1 SNP were associated with age at puberty (AP; D = 10 d; P = 0.0037 and A = 3.8 d; P = 0.0078, respectively). Four IGF2 SNP were associated with AP as well, having additive or dominant effects (3.2 to 5.8 d; P <= 0.0052). Two mannosidase 2B2 SNP and 2 prolactin receptor (PRLR) SNP were also associated with AP. Solute carrier 22, subfamily member 5 SNP was weakly associated with AP (D = 3.9 d; P < 0.10). Polymorphisms within glycogen synthase 1 and protein kinase AMP-activated, gamma 3 noncatalytic subunit had associations with ovulation rate. Estrogen receptor (ESR) 1, ESR2, PPAR gamma coactivator 1, and IGFBP3 SNP were significantly associated with weaning-to-estrus interval. Two PRLR SNP were associated with total number of piglets born ( A = 0.57 piglets; P = 0.0095 and D = 0.61 piglets; P = 0.0016, respectively). A SNP within PRLR was also associated with number of piglets born alive ( D = 0.61; P = 0.0016). The PPAR. coactivator 1 SNP was associated with total number of piglets born (D = 0.38 piglets; P = 0.0391) and number of piglets born alive (D = 0.53 piglets; P = 0.0032). The SNP within ESR1 ( A = 0.65 piglets; P = 0.0950), ESR2 ( A = -0.33 piglets; P = 0.0176), IGF2 SNP ( A = -0.26 piglets; P = 0.0032), and IGFBP3 SNP ( D = 0.35 piglets; P = 0.0683) were associated with number of piglets born dead. A leptin SNP was associated with mummified fetuses ( D = 0.09 piglets; P = 0.0978). Many of the SNP analyzed in this study are from genes involved in regulation of metabolism, suggesting that there is an important link between physiological events associated with reproduction and energy utilization. Furthermore, these production and growth trait SNP may serve to assist in selection of young females for superior reproductive performance. C1 [Rempel, L. A.; Nonneman, D. J.; Wise, T. H.; Rohrer, G.

Postweaning growth and carcass traits were analyzed on 464 steers and 439 heifers obtained by mating F-1 cows to Charolais and MARC III (1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Pinzgauer,and 1/4 Red Poll) sires. The F1 cows were obtained from mating Angus and MARC III dams to Hereford, Angus, Beefmaster, Brangus, Bonsmara, and Romosinuano sires. Traits evaluated were postweaning ADG, slaughter weight, HCW, dressing percentage, percentage of carcasses classified as USDA Choice, LM area, marbling score, USDA yield grade, fat thickness, retail product yield ( percentage), and retail product weight. Maternal grandsire breed was significant (P < 0.05) for all traits. Animals with Angus grandsires grew faster and had the heaviest carcasses, with the greatest percentage of carcasses classified as USDA Choice and the greatest marbling scores when compared with other grandsire breeds. Animals with Romosinuano and Bonsmara inheritance grew slower, had the lightest weights at slaughter, the lightest carcass weights, the least percentage of carcasses classified as USDA Choice, and the least amount of marbling and fat thickness. Animals with inheritance from these 2 breeds had a more desirable yield grade with the greatest retail product yield. Maternal granddam breed was significant ( P < 0.05) for marbling score, USDA yield grade, fat thickness, and retail product yield. Sex class was significant ( P < 0.05) for all traits except for retail product yield. Steers grew faster, were heavier, had heavier carcasses, and were leaner than heifers. Heifers had a greater dressing percentage, a greater percentage of carcasses classified as USDA Choice, a greater LM area, and a decreased yield grade when compared with steers. Sire and grandsire breed effects can be optimized by selection and use of appropriate crossbreeding systems. C1 [Casas, E.; Thallman, R. M.; Kuehn, L. A.; Cundiff, L.

Increasing the hemicellulose level had no impact on ADG or ADFI, but resulted in a quadratic response (P < 0.03) on G: F. To investigate physiological changes that occur with increased dietary hemicellulose, blood, colon contents, and tissue samples from the liver and intestine were obtained from a subset (n = 16; 8 pigs/treatment) of pigs fed the least and greatest hemicellulose levels. The abundance of phosphoadenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the mitochondrial respiratory protein, cytochrome C oxidase II (COXII) were determined in liver, jejunum, ileum, and colon by Western blotting. The mRNA expression levels of AMPKa1, AMPKa2, PPAR coactivator 1 alpha (PGC1-alpha), PPAR gamma 2, and sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) were determined in liver and intestinal tissues. When compared with pigs fed the control diet, pigs fed the high hemicellulose diet had increased (P < 0.02) plasma triglycerides, but there was no difference in plasma cholesterol, glucose, or insulin. Absolute and relative liver weights were decreased (P < 0.03) in pigs consuming the high hemicellulose diet. The high-fiber diet led to a tendency (P < 0.12) for decreased liver triglyceride content. In pigs fed the high hemicellulose diet, ileal mucosal alkaline phosphatase activity was increased (P < 0.08) and sucrase activity tended (P < 0.12) to be increased. The high hemicellulose diet had no effect on phospho-AMPK, AMPK mRNA, or colonic VFA, but in pigs consuming the high fiber diet there was a greater (P < 0.05) abundance of COXII in colon tissue. The expression of PGC1-alpha, PPAR gamma, or Sirt1 mRNA was not altered by dietary fiber in liver, jejunum, or ileum tissue. In colon tissue from pigs fed the high fiber diet there was an increase (P < 0.09) in Sirt1 mRNA and a trend (P < 0.12) toward increased of PGC1-alpha mRNA. These data suggest that alterations in metabolism involved in adaptation to a diet high in hemicellulose are associated with increased colonic Sirt1 mRNA and COXII expression, indicating an increased propensity for oxidative metabolism by the intestine.

A corn-soybean meal basal diet containing 0.50% Ca, 0.32% P, and 0.40% Cr(2)O(3) was used to calculate apparent P and GE digestibility. Pigs were individually penned and fed their respective diet for ad libitum intake for 12 d before fecal sampling on d 13 and 14 and blood collection on d 14 for plasma P determination. Experiments 1 through 4 used gilts with across-trial average initial and final BW of 84 and 97 kg, respectively. Pigs were fed Natuphos (Exp. 1), OptiPhos ( Exp. 2),Phyzyme ( Exp. 3), or RonozymeP ( Exp. 4) at 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, or 1,000 phytase units (FTU)/kg ( where 1 FTU is defined as the quantity of enzyme required to liberate 1 mu mol of inorganic P per min, at pH 5.5, from an excess of 15 mu mol/L of sodium phytate at 37 degrees C). Experiment 5 used barrows with initial and final BW of 98 and 111 kg, respectively, and were fed diets containing 0, 500, or 1,000 FTU/kg of Natuphos, OptiPhos, Phyzyme, or RonozymeP. Pigs fed Natuphos ( Exp. 1) and OptiPhos ( Exp. 2) exhibited a linear and quadratic ( P < 0.01) improvement in P digestibility with increasing levels of dietary phytase, whereas pigs fed Phyzyme ( Exp. 3) and RonozymeP ( Exp. 4) exhibited a linear ( P < 0.01) improvement in apparent P digestibility with increasing levels of dietary phytase. In Exp. 5, the improvement in apparent P digestibility with increasing levels of dietary phytase was linear ( P < 0.01) for Natuphos, Phyzyme, and RonozymeP, but was linear and quadratic ( P < 0.01) for OptiPhos. Based on regression analysis, inorganic P release at 500 FTU/kg was predicted to be 0.070, 0.099, 0.038, and 0.030% for Natuphos, OptiPhos, Phyzyme, and RonozymeP, respectively. These estimates are comparable with those of pigs in Exp. 5, for which the estimated inorganic P release at 500 FTU/kg was 0.102, 0.039, and 0.028% for OptiPhos, Phyzyme, and RonozymeP, respectively, but not for the 0.034% value determined for Natuphos. The effect of dietary phytase on GE digestibility was inconsistent with a linear ( P < 0.01) improvement in GE digestibility noted for OptiPhos ( Exp. 2 and 5) and RonozymeP ( Exp. 4), but the quadratic ( P < 0.01) improvement for Natuphos. There was no effect of dietary phytase on plasma inorganic P. The data presented show clear improvements in P digestibility, with the estimated level of inorganic P release being dependent on phytase source and level. C1 [Kerr, B. J.; Weber, T.

TI Fall growth, nutritive value, and estimation of total digestible nutrients for cereal-grain forages in the north-central United States SO JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE cereal grain; forage dry matter yield; forage nutritive value ID QUALITY; DETERMINANTS; ARKANSAS; KINETICS; YIELD; OAT AB Throughout the Southern Great Plains, wheat is managed frequently as a dual-purpose crop, but this production paradigm is not necessarily applicable throughout other regions of the United States, and a wider array of management options can be considered for forage-only uses of cereal grains. Our objectives were to assess the fall-growth potential of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), and oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars in Wisconsin, and then to further evaluate and compare the fiber composition and TDN of these fall-grown forages. For 2006, yields of DM for all cultivars increased quadratically (P <= 0.048) over fall harvest dates, reaching a maximum of 3,967 kg/ha for Ogle oat. All oat cultivars exhibited stem elongation and also displayed a collective 2 to 1 yield advantage over vegetative wheat cultivars on the final (October 30) harvest date. Growing conditions were more favorable during 2007, and yields were improved for all cultivars. Yields of DM for all cultivars increased quadratically (P <= 0.021) across harvest dates, and oat cultivars maintained the identical 2 to 1 yield advantage over wheat cultivars (6,275 vs. 3,203 kg/ha) that was observed for 2006. Triticale exhibited yields intermediate between oat and wheat during both years. Concentrations of NDF increased quadratically (P = 0.012) across harvest dates for all cultivars during both years of the experiment; however, these increases occurred primarily between mid September and early October with limited responses thereafter. Oat and triticale cultivars had greater (P < 0.001) concentrations of NDF than wheat cultivars on 5 of 6 harvest dates throughout the experiment. Estimates of TDN exhibited various polynomial responses to harvest date during 2006, but the magnitude of these changes was relatively small. During 2007, TDN declined linearly (P <= 0.038) for grain-type oat, but no relationship with harvest date was observed for other cultivars (P >= 0.072), including forage-type oat. Although TDN estimates generally were relatively static across harvest dates, the concentrations of truly digestible components constituting the total TDN pool were quite fluid. Generally, reductions of truly digestible CP were offset by increases in truly digestible nonfiber carbohydrate, truly digestible fiber, or both. The relatively stable energy densities for cereal-grain cultivars observed across harvest dates suggest that a broad window of opportunity exists for usage, including a single harvest as silage.

As part of an ongoing characterization of vascular response generated by different alkaloids, the objective of this study was to examine the vasoconstrictive potentials of ergonovine (a simple lysergic acid derivative) and alpha-ergocryptine, ergocristine, and ergocornine (all ergopeptine alkaloids) using bovine lateral saphenous veins (cranial branch) biopsied from fescue-nave cattle. Segments (2 to 3 cm) of vein were surgically biopsied from healthy crossbred yearling cattle (n = 18; 274 +/- 8 kg of BW). Veins were trimmed of excess fat and connective tissue, sliced into 2 to 3 mm sections, and suspended in a myograph chamber containing 5 mL of oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer (95% O(2)/5% CO(2); pH = 7.4; 37 degrees C). Tissue was allowed to equilibrate at 1 g of tension for 90 min before initiation of treatment additions. Increasing doses of each alkaloid (1 x 10(-10) to 1 x 10(-4) M) were administered every 15 min after buffer replacement. Data were normalized as a percentage of contractile response induced by a reference dose of norepinephrine (1 x 10(-4) M). Exposure of vein segments to increasing concentrations of ergocryptine, ergocristine, and ergonovine did not result in a contractile response until 1 x 10(-7) M, and ergocornine was even less potent (P < 0.05). Ergonovine had a greater maximal contractile intensity than ergocristine and ergocryptine (P < 0.05), with the 1 x 10(-4) M responses of ergonovine, ergocristine, ergocryptine, and ergocornine reaching maximums of 68.5 +/- 4.1, 45.5 +/- 4.5, 42.9 +/- 4.1%, and 57.2 +/- 9.9% of the norepinephrine maximum, respectively. The contractile response to increasing concentrations of ergonovine vs. ergocryptine, ergocristine, and ergocornine were opposite from previous evaluations of ergoline (e.g., lysergic acid) and ergopeptine (e.g., ergovaline) alkaloids using this bioassay, where the ergopeptine generated the greater contractile intensity. These data indicate that ergopeptines structurally different only at a single position of the peptide moiety do not exhibit differing contractile responses when considering contractile intensity. This difference may alter the potency when considering ergocornine was less potent than ergocryptine or ergocristine. These alkaloids may need to be considered when evaluating causative agents vasoconstriction associated with tall fescue-induced toxicosis. C1 [Klotz, J. L.; Kirch, B. H.; Aiken, G. E.; Strickland, J.

Over the winter of 2008-9 an estimated 29% of all US colonies died. Operations which pollinated Californian almond orchards over the survey period had lower average losses than those which did not. Beekeepers consider normal losses to be 17.6%, and 57.9% of all responding beekeepers suffered losses greater than that which they considered to be acceptable. The proportion of operations with the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) symptom of "no dead bees in the colony or apiary" decreased in this period as compared to the previous years. The proportion of colonies dying from apparently manageable conditions, however, such as starvation or a weak condition in the fall increased as compared to previous surveys.

SHB populations differed between honey bee strains (only in one site out of two), with Italian colonies supporting more beetles (7.45 +/- 0.98 SHB per colony) than the Russian colonies (4.48 +/- 0.51 SHB per colony). No difference between the two strains was observed at site 1 where the SHB population was generally low (Italian = 2.73 +/- 0.36 SHB; Russian = 2.69 +/- 0.57 SHB per colony). Our results also revealed that SHB populations varied throughout the year, with peak infestations observed in the autumn (September and November). SHB abundance was significantly correlated with the proportion of hot days, but not with the proportions of cool, dry, or humid days, or the percentage of days with rainfall. Our results suggest that in-hive autumn trapping of SHB in the south eastern USA may reduce springtime numbers of SHB.

We used assays that measured two separate aspects of antioxidant activity in wax cappings, namely free radical scavenging capacity (DPPH assay) and ferric ion reduction capacity (FRAP assay). Mite infestation tended to have different effects on the antioxidant activities of wax cappings of drone and worker brood. Wax cappings from infested worker brood had higher antioxidant activities than cappings from uninfested worker brood. By contrast, antioxidant activities of cappings from uninfested drone brood did not differ from the activities of infested drone brood cappings. Different queen lines shared a similar overall pattern of higher antioxidant activities in cappings from infested worker brood than cappings from uninfested brood, but differed in the absolute magnitude of the antioxidant activities. In particular, Italian and "hygienic" queen lines had proportionally much higher FRAP wax capping activities in infested brood relative to uninfested brood (313% and 311%) than Russian queen lines (171%).

We determined the intracolony genetic diversity of Africanized honey bee (AHB) colonies from a feral population in the south western USA. A total of 1,253 worker offspring were genotyped from 20 feral colonies (all but three of African mitotype), four managed AHB, three managed European honey bee (EHB), and four control colonies (headed by EHB queens instrumentally inseminated with one, two, five, or ten drones, respectively) using eight microsatellite markers. The 17 feral AHB queens mated with an average of 20.0 +/- 6.53 (range 10 - 32) drones, resulting in effective paternity frequencies of 20.0 +/- 8.46 (range 10.56 - 37.53), which is one of the highest mating numbers recorded within the species. Though Africanized honey bee colonies are among the most genetically diverse Apts mellifera yet recorded, their queen mating frequencies are within the expected range of the species overall, including African honey bees in their native range. The factors responsible for these findings are discussed. C1 [Tarpy, David R.; Caren, Joel R.; Delaney, Deborah A.] N Carolina State Univ, Dept Entomol, Raleigh, NC 27695 USA.

TI Evaluation of PCR assays for quantifying seed-borne infection by Fusarium and Microdochium seedling blight pathogens SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE competitive PCR; Fusarium; Microdochium; plate counts; seed health testing; seedling blight ID COMPETITIVE PCR; WINTER-WHEAT; QUANTIFICATION; NIVALE; GRAIN AB Aims: To evaluate competitive PCR assays for quantifying seed-borne Microdochium and Fusarium seedling blight pathogen DNA and to determine test and year repeatability and sources of variability. Methods and Results: Relationships between DNA and plate counts were significant for Fusarium and Microdochium seedling blight pathogens in 152 seed batches from 3 years. Coefficient of determinations, however, differed greatly (Fusarium; R2 = 0 center dot 25, P = 0 center dot 029, Microdochium; R2 = 0 center dot 73, P < 0 center dot 001). Significant differences between years were observed in the regression slopes for Microdochium. Pathogen DNA quantified in 16 extractions after sampling was highly correlated to results following storage for 1-2 years (R2 > 0 center dot 90). Residual maximum likelihood analysis showed that the least and greatest variance components of the testing procedure were DNA extraction subsampling and PCR assay respectively. Conclusions: Amount of pathogen DNA is a useful estimator of seed batch contamination for Microdochium but not Fusarium seedling blight pathogens. Although reproducible over time, improvements to the testing procedure should focus on repeated PCR amplifications to reduce assay variability. Significance and Impact of the Study: Replacing plate counts with competitive PCR for determining the severity of seed batch contamination is feasible in areas where Microdochium seedling blight pathogens predominate.

Our aim was to determine how selected dietary additives affect selected bacterial populations and pathogens in nursery swine, and compare to larch extract, which contains potential antibacterial activities. Methods and Results: Piglets were weaned and sorted into one of the four treatments: (i) basal diet without antimicrobials; (ii) basal diet with carbadox + copper sulfate; (iii) basal diet + 1000 ppm larch extract; or (iv) basal diet + 2000 ppm larch extract. Diets were fed for a 4-week period after weaning. In both trials, the carbadox + copper sulfate group consumed more feed over the 4-week period relative to the other three diet groups (P < 0 center dot 05), but did not gain significantly more weight. Faecal shedding of Salmonella spp. was not affected by dietary supplement in either trial, but faecal shedding of Campylobacter spp. was the lowest for the carbadox + copper sulfate diet. In faecal samples collected at the end of each trial, Lactobacillus spp. cell counts for the basal and larch extract diets were nearly 1 center dot 0 log(10) g-1 faeces greater (P < 0 center dot 05) than the carbadox + copper sulfate group, whereas the coliforms and Escherichia coli were nearly 1 center dot 0 log(10) g-1 faeces lower (P < 0 center dot 05). Conclusions: Compared to basal fed animals, supplementation with carbadox + copper sulfate significantly altered faecal E. coli, coliform bacteria and Lactobacillus spp. Larch extract has no benefit up to 0 center dot 2% of diet in regard to pathogen shedding, whereas carbadox + copper sulfate decreased faecal shedding of Campylobacter spp. Significance and Impact of the Study: Current swine management practices in the United States may be beneficial to managing Campylobacter spp. shedding in nursery swine, but also result in significant changes in the resident gastrointestinal microflora.

Methods and Results: All glucose-limited continuous culture experiments were conducted under anaerobic conditions. Except for protein, all cell constituents including carbohydrates, RNA and DNA yielded significant cubic responses to Ds with the highest values at Ds of either 0 center dot 10 or 0 center dot 20 h-1. At Ds higher than 0 center dot 2 h-1, fermentation acid pattern shifted primarily from propionate and acetate to lactate production. Succinate also accumulated at the higher Ds (0 center dot 30 and 0 center dot 42 h-1). Glucose was most efficiently utilized by S. ruminantium D at 0 center dot 20 h-1 after which decreases in glucose and ATP yields were observed. Under energy limiting conditions, glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) appeared to be the major enzymes involved in nitrogen assimilation suggesting that other potential ammonia incorporating enzymes were of little importance in ammonia assimilation in S. ruminantium D. GS exhibited lower activities than GDH at all Ds, which indicates that the bacterial growth rate is not a primary regulator of their activities. Conclusions: Studied dilution rates influenced cell composition, fermentation pattern and nitrogen assimilation of S. ruminantium strain D grown in glucose-limited continuous culture. Significance and Impact of the Study: Selenomonas ruminantium D is an ecologically and evolutionary important bacterium in ruminants and is present under most rumen dietary conditions. Characterizing the growth physiology and ammonia assimilation enzymes of S. ruminantium D during glucose limitation at Ds, which simulate the liquid turnover rates in rumen, will provide a better understanding of how this micro-organism responds to differing growth conditions.

Multivariate adaptive regression splines models for the prediction of energy expenditure in children and adolescents. J Appl Physiol 108: 128-136, 2010. First published November 5, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00729.2009.-Advanced mathematical models have the potential to capture the complex metabolic and physiological processes that result in heat production or energy expenditure (EE). Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is a nonparametric method that estimates complex nonlinear relationships by a series of spline functions of the independent predictors. The specific aim of this study is to construct MARS models based on heart rate (HR) and accelerometer counts (AC) to accurately predict EE, and hence 24-h total EE (TEE), in children and adolescents. Secondarily, MARS models will be developed to predict awake EE, sleep EE, and activity EE also from HR and AC. MARS models were developed in 109 and validated in 61 normal-weight and overweight children (ages 5-18 yr) against the criterion method of 24-h room respiration calorimetry. Actiheart monitor was used to measure HR and AC. MARS models were based on linear combinations of 23-28 basis functions that use subject characteristics (age, sex, weight, height, minimal HR, and sitting HR), HR and AC, 1- and 2-min lag and lead values of HR and AC, and appropriate interaction terms. For the 24-h, awake, sleep, and activity EE models, mean percent errors were - 2.5 +/- 7.5, - 2.6 +/- 7.8, - 0.3 +/- 8.9, and - 11.9 +/- 17.9%, and root mean square error values were 168, 138, 40, and 122 kcal, respectively, in the validation cohort. Bland-Altman plots indicated that the predicted values were in good agreement with the observed TEE, and that there was no bias with increasing TEE. Prediction errors for 24-h TEE were not statistically associated with age, sex, weight, height, or body mass index. MARS models developed for the prediction of EE from HR monitoring and accelerometry were demonstrated to be valid in an independent cohort of children and adolescents, but require further validation in independent, free-living populations.

TI Using Aerial Photography and Image Analysis to Measure Changes in Giant Reed Populations SO JOURNAL OF AQUATIC PLANT MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Arundo donax; change detection; color-infrared aerial photography; supervised image analysis ID SATELLITE IMAGERY; QUICKBIRD AB A study was conducted along the Rio Grande in southwest Texas to evaluate color-infrared aerial photography combined with supervised image analysis to quantify changes in giant reed (Arundo donax L.) populations over a 6-year period. Aerial photographs from 2002 and 2008 of the same seven fixed study sites were studied. Coverage of giant reed increased in all sites from 2002 to 2008, including increases ranging from 21.9 to 49.9% in six of the seven sites. Expansion of giant reed resulted primarily from its displacement of mixed herbaceous vegetation and encroachment on bare soil areas. These results indicate that color-infrared aerial photographs coupled with image analysis techniques can be useful tools to monitor and quantify changes in giant reed populations over time.

TI A hierarchical classification of freshwater mussel diversity in North America SO JOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY LA English DT Article DE Biogeography; diversity; endemism; faunal regions; freshwater mussels; Margaritiferidae; North America; phylogeography; Unionidae ID PLEISTOCENE VICARIANCE HYPOTHESIS; INTRASPECIFIC PHYLOGEOGRAPHY; GLOBAL DIVERSITY; BIVALVIA; UNIONIDAE; RIVER; UNIONOIDA; FISHES; MISSISSIPPI; SPECIATION AB Aim North America harbours the most diverse freshwater mussel fauna on Earth. This fauna has high endemism at the continental scale and within individual river systems. Previous faunal classifications for North America were based on intuitive, subjective assessments of species distributions, primarily the occurrence of endemic species, and do not portray continent-wide patterns of faunal similarity. The aim of this study is to provide an analytical portrayal of patterns of mussel diversity in a hierarchical framework that informs the biogeographical history of the fauna. Location The study considered the mussel fauna of North America from the Rio Grande system northwards. Methods Patterns of mussel faunal similarity in 126 river systems or lake watersheds across North America were examined. The dataset was developed from the literature and consisted of recent species presence/absence (282 species) in each drainage unit; subspecies were not included. Patterns of mussel diversity were examined with hierarchical cluster analysis, based on a pairwise distance matrix between all drainage units. Results Cluster analysis revealed 17 faunal provinces within four major faunal regions: Mississippian, Atlantic, Eastern Gulf and Pacific. The Mississippian Region dominates the North American fauna with 11 provinces, including five not recognized by previous classifications: Mississippi Embayment, Upper Mississippi, Great Plains, Ohioan and Pontchartrain-Pearl-Pascagoula. Within the Eastern Gulf Region (containing three provinces), the Escambia-Choctawhatchee Province is distinctive from the Apalachicolan Province, under which it was previously subsumed. Patterns of diversity in the Atlantic Region (two provinces) and Pacific Region (one province) were similar to previous classifications. Main conclusions The classification proposed in this study largely corroborates earlier schemes based on the occurrence of endemic species but identifies additional heterogeneity that reflects unique assemblages of widely distributed species. The study proposes a hierarchical structure that illustrates relationships among these provinces. Although some provinces in the Mississippian Region have high endemism, all Mississippian provinces share a group of widely distributed species. The Atlantic and Eastern Gulf regions have distinctive, endemic faunas suggesting limited past connectivity with the Mississippian Region. The Pacific Region is the most distinct fauna in North America and bears close affinity to the Eurasian mussel fauna.

Expression of Stx2 was induced by culturing E. coli O157:H7 on solid agar supplemented with an antibiotic that elicits the bacterial SOS-response. Bacterial cell lysates were incubated in the presence of furin, a human enzyme, that cleaves alpha-Stx2 into A1 (similar to 28 kDa) and A2 (similar to 5 kDa) protein fragments. A subsequent disulfide reduction step unlinked A1 from A2. MALDI-TOF-MS of the furin-digested/disulfide-reduced sample showed a peak at mass-to-charge (m/z) 5286 that corresponded to the A2 fragment. No peak was observed that corresponded to the A1 fragment although its presence was confirmed by bottom-up proteomics. The peak at m/z 5286 was definitively identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS/MS and top-down proteomics as the A2 fragment of alpha-Stx2.

A comparative microarray investigation was done using detection call methodology (DCM) and differential expression analyses. The goal was to identify genes found in specific cell populations that were eliminated by differential expression analysis due to the nature of differential expression methods. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate nearly homogeneous populations of plant root cells. Results. The analyses identified the presence of 13,291 transcripts between the 4 different sample types. The transcripts filtered down into a total of 6,267 that were detected as being present in one or more sample types. A comparative analysis of DCM and differential expression methods showed a group of genes that were not differentially expressed, but were expressed at detectable amounts within specific cell types. Conclusion. The DCM has identified patterns of gene expression not shown by differential expression analyses. DCM has identified genes that are possibly cell-type specific and/or involved in important aspects of plant nematode interactions during the resistance response, revealing the uniqueness of a particular cell population at a particular point during its differentiation process.

Seventeen genotypes with a wide range of amylose contents were used to compare the amylose measurement accuracy of the cost-effective iodine-potassium iodide (I:KI) method to the commercially available enzyme-based Megazyme protocol. Comparable accuracy from I:KI was demonstrated in low amylose samples (below 10% dried base), as were limitations in regular or high amylose samples. To address the major cost of sample preparation in nutritional trait analysis, the I:KI method was also employed for amylose detection from beta-glucan and free phosphate assay samples. Results indicated that samples used in beta-glucan and phosphate assays could be further utilized for amylose measurement. Amylose detection accuracy using I:KI method from those assayed samples is comparable to that using the Megazyme method in low and regular amylose samples. Development of protocols for the double assays from one grain sample will significantly reduce the labor cost associated with sample preparation and will streamline the screening of early generation barley populations, where seed sample amounts are limited.

Little current information is available on grain composition and variability among winter barley genotypes. This study was conducted to determine the variability among modern hulled and hulless winter barley genotypes in grain composition. Barley types varied significantly in grain and kernel weight, starch, beta-glucan, oil and ash content, but not in protein concentration. Hulless barley had significantly higher grain test weight and starch concentration than hulled and malting types, and significantly higher beta-glucan than malting barley. Hulless barley had significantly lower kernel weights, oil, and ash concentrations than hulled and malting types. Higher starch and lower fiber and ash in grain of hulless barley versus hulled feed or malting type barley are characteristics that increase hulless barley desirability. Selection for high starch concentration among all barley types is feasible and will facilitate development of barley cultivars better suited for use in feed, malt, and ethanol production.

Similar to puroindoline proteins, polar lipids are present on the surface of starch granules. The objective of this research was to determine the specific polar lipid species present on the surface of wheat starch from near-isogenic wheat lines that have different puroindoline haplotypes and endosperm hardness. Four near-isogenic wheat lines were used in this study, all derived from the soft cultivar Alpowa. Direct infusion tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify the lipid species in whole-meal, flour and starch samples. Endosperm hardness had no significant effect on the polar lipid contents in wheat whole-meal, a slight influence on the polar lipid contents of the flour fractions and a significant influence on the polar lipid composition of the polar lipids located on the surface of wheat starch. The greatest quantities of polar lipids on the starch-surface occurred when both puroindoline proteins were present in their wildtype form. Starch-surface polar lipid content dramatically decreased when one of the puroindoline proteins was null or if pin-B was in the mutated form. The least amount of polar lipids was present when pin-B was in its mutated form and pin-A was in its wild-type form. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Finnie, S. M.; Faubion, J.

The abundance of starch surface polar lipids is related to the physical hardness of the endosperm, but the variation in specific lipid classes and molecular species is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the variation in polar lipids present on the surface of wheat starch granules. The experimental wheat lines used are, within each set, near-isogenic to each other but vary in endosperm hardness. Starch was isolated using two different processes: a dough and a batter method. Direct infusion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify and quantitatively determine the polar lipid species in wheat flour and on starch. Wide ranges in starch surface polar lipid concentrations were observed between the starch isolation methods. Starch isolation method provided a greater source of variation than did wheat kernel hardness. When dough is optimally mixed, lipids originally on the surface of wheat starch are dissociated, whereas in a batter system, starch surface lipids stay associated with the starch surface. The predominant starch surface polar lipids were digalacto-syldigylcerol (DGDG), monogalactosyldigylcerol (MGDG) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) polar lipid classes. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Shortly after its discovery, surveys were conducted, based on the visual inspection of trees. The shortcomings of visual surveys have led to a critical research need to find an efficient survey method for detecting A. planipennis infestations. Here, we present a review of research that has led to the development of effective trapping methods for A. planipennis. Studies on the insect's biology and behavior have led to the identification of several potential attractants as well as the design of a visually attractive trap. The ongoing challenge in developing an optimally efficient trapping methodology for A. planipennis will involve finding the best combination of variables, such as trap shape, trap color (or other visual properties), trap placement, lure components, as well as the ratios and release rates of those components.

Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the causal direction of the relationship between adiposity and inflammation using a bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach. Methods: In the PROSPER study of 5804 elderly patients, we related C-reactive protein (CRP) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1800947 and rs1205) and adiposity SNPs (FTO and MC4R) to body mass index (BMI) as well as circulating levels of CRP and leptin. We gave each individual two allele scores ranging from zero to 4, counting each pair of alleles related to CRP levels or BMI. Results: With increasing CRP allele score, there was a stepwise decrease in CRP levels (P for trend < 0.0001) and a 1.98 mg/liter difference between extremes of the allele score distribution, but there was no associated change in BMI or leptin levels (P >= 0.89). By contrast, adiposity allele score was associated with 1) an increase in BMI (1.2 kg/m(2) difference between extremes; P for trend 0.002); 2) an increase in circulating leptin (5.77 ng/ml difference between extremes; P for trend 0.0027); and 3) increased CRP levels (1.24 mg/liter difference between extremes; P for trend 0.002). Conclusions: Greater adiposity conferred by FTO and MC4R SNPs led to higher CRP levels, with no evidence for any reverse pathway. Future studies should extend our findings to other circulating inflammatory parameters. This study illustrates the potential power of Mendelian randomization to dissect directions of causality between intercorrelated metabolic factors.

Cows were fed a TMR containing 25% starch (DM basis) supplied as corn silage, a slowly fermented starch (SFS treatment, period 1), then switched to a TMR containing 27% starch, much of it supplied as ground high-moisture corn, a rapidly fermented starch (RFS treatment, period 2). In period 3, the RFS diet was amended with 13.6 mg of monensin/kg of DM (RFS/Mon treatment), and in period 4, the cows were returned to the RFS diet without monensin (RFS/Post treatment). Effect of both starch source and monensin on milk fat percentage varied by cow, and cluster analysis identified 4 pairs of cows having distinct milk fat patterns. Archived ruminal liquors and solids from the 4 pairs were processed to isolate bacterial DNA, which was subjected to automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis followed by correspondence analysis to visualize bacterial community composition (BCC). One pair of cows (S-responsive) showed MFD on RFS feeding, but displayed no additional MFD upon monensin feeding and a fat rebound upon monensin withdrawal. The second pair of cows (M-responsive) showed no MFD upon switch from the SFS diet to the RFS diet, but displayed strong MFD upon monensin feeding and no recovery after monensin withdrawal. Both groups displayed major shifts in BCC upon dietary shifts, including dietary shifts that both did and did not change milk fat production. The third pair of cows (SM-responsive) displayed reduction of milk fat on both RFS and RFS/Mon diets, and fat returned to the levels on the RFS diet upon monensin withdrawal; these cows showed a more gradual shift in BCC in response to both starch source and monensin. The fourth pair of cows (nonresponsive) did not display changes in milk fat percentage with dietary treatment and showed only minor shifts in BCC with dietary treatment. Regardless of milk fat response, BCC did not reassemble its original state upon monensin withdrawal, though the difference was strongest in M-responsive cows. One amplicon length (representing a single bacterial species) was elevated in most, but not all, MFD-susceptible (S-, M-, or SM-responsive) cows relative to milk fat-nonresponsive cows, whereas 2 amplicon lengths displayed reduced abundance under MFD conditions. Overall, this study demonstrates an association between MFD and wholesale shifts of microbial communities in the rumen. C1 [Weimer, P. J.; Stevenson, D. M.; Mertens, D.

TI pH dynamics and bacterial community composition in the rumen of lactating dairy cows SO JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE bacterial community composition; Megasphaera elsdenii; milk fat depression; ruminal pH ID NEUTRAL DETERGENT FIBER; FED CONTINUOUS-CULTURE; CELLULOSE DIGESTION; FEEDING-BEHAVIOR; DILUTION RATE; RUMINAL PH; CONCENTRATE; MICROFLORA; PRODUCTIVITY; METABOLISM AB The influence of pH dynamics on ruminal bacterial community composition was studied in 8 ruminally cannulated Holstein cows fitted with indwelling electrodes that recorded pH at 10-min intervals over a 54-h period. Cows were fed a silage-based total mixed ration supplemented with monensin. Ruminal samples were collected each day just before feeding and at 3 and 6 h after feeding. Solid and liquid phases were separated at collection, and extracted DNA was subjected to PCR amplification followed by automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA). Although cows displayed widely different pH profiles (mean pH = 6.11 to 6.51, diurnal pH range = 0.45 to 1.39), correspondence analysis of the ARISA profiles revealed that 6 of the 8 cows showed very similar bacterial community compositions. The 2 cows having substantially different community compositions had intermediate mean pH values (6.30 and 6.33) and intermediate diurnal pH ranges (averaging 0.89 and 0.81 pH units). Fortuitously, these 2 cows alone also displayed milk fat depression, along with markedly higher ruminal populations of 1 bacterial operational taxonomic unit (OTU) and reduced populations of another ARISA amplicon. Cloning and sequencing of the elevated OTU revealed phylogenetic similarity to Megasphaera elsdenii, a species reportedly associated with milk fat depression. The higher populations of both M. elsdenii and OTU246 in these 2 cows were confirmed using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with species-specific primers, and the fraction of total bacterial rDNA copies contributed by these 2 taxa were very highly correlated within individual cows. By contrast, the fraction of total bacterial rDNA copies contributed by Streptococcus bovis and genus Ruminococcus, 2 taxa expected to respond to ruminal pH, did not differ among cows (mean = <0.01 and 10.6%, respectively, of rRNA gene copies, determined by qPCR). The data indicate that cows with widely differing pH profiles can have similar ruminal bacterial community compositions, and that milk fat depression can occur at intermediate ruminal pH. The results support recent reports that milk fat depression is associated with shifts in bacterial community composition in rumine and is specifically related to the relative abundance of Megasphaera elsdenii.

The design was a partially balanced, incomplete Latin square with three 21-d periods and a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Samples and data were collected in the last 7 d of each period. Feed sources that differed in NFC profile were dry ground corn (GC; starch), dried citrus pulp (DCP; sugar and pectins), and sucrose+molasses (SM; sugar). Dietary RDP was altered by providing CP with soybean meal (+RDP) or substituting a heat-treated expeller soybean product for a portion of the soybean meal (-RDP). Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and similar in NFC concentration. Cows consuming GC had the greatest milk urea nitrogen and milk protein percentage and yield, tended to have the greatest dry matter intake, but had a lesser milk fat percentage compared with cows consuming DCP and SM. Sucrose+molasses diets supported greater dry matter intake, milk protein yield, and 3.5% fat-and protein-corrected milk yield than did DCP diets. On -RDP diets, milk protein percentage was less and milk urea nitrogen and protein yield tended to be less than for + RDP diets. Dry ground corn diverged from DCP and SM in the effect of NFC x RDP, with cows consuming GC having lesser milk yield, 3.5% fat-and protein-corrected milk yield, and efficiency with -RDP as compared with + RDP, whereas these production measures were greater with -RDP than + RDP for cows consuming DCP and SM. In contrast, in situ NDF digestibility at 30 h for GC and SM was greater for -RDP as compared with +RDP, but the reverse was true for DCP. The lowest ruminal pH detected by 6 h postfeeding was also influenced by the interaction of NFC x RDP, with cows consuming SM having a lower pH with +RDP than with - RDP and cows consuming DCP having a similar pH on either RDP treatment. Total rumen volatile fatty acid concentrations did not differ among diets, but acetate molar percent was greater for DCP than for SM, and GC had the lowest molar percent for butyrate and valerate and greatest branched-chain volatile fatty acid concentration. Valerate molar percent and NH(3) concentration tended to be greater with +RDP than with -RDP. Plasma glucose and insulin were both greater in cows receiving SM than in those receiving DCP. Protein degradability, NFC source, and their interactions affected lactation, ruminal, and blood measures, suggesting that these dietary factors warrant further consideration in diet formulation.

The data set included 43,612 does with first-parity milk yield and 25,863 does with first kidding interval. Parameters were estimated by REML using bivariate mixed models within and across breeds. Fixed effects were month and herd-year of kidding within breed and month and breed-herd-year of kidding across breeds. Random effects were animal and residual. The heritability estimate for first-parity milk yield was 0.36 +/- 0.01 across breeds and ranged from 0.35 to 0.38 within breed; heritability for first kidding interval was 0.05 +/- 0.01 across breeds and ranged from 0.00 to 0.15 within breed. The estimate of the genetic correlation between first-parity milk yield and first kidding interval was positive (unfavorable) across breeds (0.35 +/- 0.09). Estimates of environmental correlations within and across breeds were positive (0.16-0.25). The presence of unfavorable genetic relationships between milk yield and kidding interval indicates a need to include reproductive performance as a selection criterion. C1 [Montaldo, H.

TI Conceptual modeling of postmortem evaluation findings to describe dairy cow deaths SO JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE mortality; necropsy; dairy; cow ID UNITED-STATES; MORTALITY; CATTLE; HERDS; RECOMMENDATIONS; DISEASES; DESIGN AB Dairy cow mortality levels in the United States are excessive and increasing over time. To better define cause and effect and combat rising mortality, clearer definitions of the reasons that cows die need to be acquired through thorough necropsy-based postmortem evaluations. The current study focused on organizing information generated from postmortem evaluations into a monitoring system that is based on the fundamentals of conceptual modeling and that will potentially be translatable into on-farm relational databases. This observational study was conducted on 3 high-producing, commercial dairies in northern Colorado. Throughout the study period a thorough postmortem evaluation was performed by veterinarians on cows that died on each dairy. Postmortem data included necropsy findings, life-history features (e. g., birth date, lactation number, lactational and reproductive status), clinical history and treatments, and pertinent aspects of operational management that were subject to change and considered integral to the poor outcome. During this study, 174 postmortem evaluations were performed. Postmortem evaluation results were conceptually modeled to view each death within the context of the web of factors influencing the dairy and the cow. Categories were formulated describing mortality in terms of functional characteristics potentially amenable to easy performance evaluation, management oversight, and research. In total, 21 death categories with 7 category themes were created. Themes included specific disease processes with variable etiologies, failure of disease recognition or treatment, traumatic events, multifactorial failures linked to transition or negative energy balance issues, problems with feed management, miscellaneous events not amenable to prevention or treatment, and undetermined causes. Although postmortem evaluations provide the relevant information necessary for framing a cow's death, a restructuring of on-farm data-bases is needed to integrate this level of detail into useful monitoring systems. Individual operations can focus on combating mortality through the use of employee training related to postmortem evaluations, detailed forms for capturing necropsy particulars and other relevant information related to deaths, and standardized nomenclature and categorization schemes. As much as anything, the simple act of recognizing mortality as a problem might be the most fundamental step toward controlling its progression. C1 [McConnel, C. S.; Garry, F. B.; Hill, A.

TI Conditional cash transfers and health: unpacking the causal chain SO JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESS LA English DT Article DE conditional cash transfer interventions; theory-based approach; health and nutritional outcomes ID OPORTUNIDADES PROGRAM; CHILD HEALTH; DEMAND-SIDE; IMPACT; MEXICO; GROWTH; INTERVENTIONS; ATTENDANCE; NUTRITION; COUNTRIES AB This paper investigates whether conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes that include health and nutrition components improve health and nutritional outcomes, and if so, which components of the programmes, or combination thereof, are important in achieving these improvements. Using evidence from Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, the paper adopts a theory-based approach that spells out the assumptions behind the expectation that the CCT interventions will have a measurable impact on health and nutrition outcomes. CCT impact evaluations provide unambiguous evidence that financial incentives work to increase utilisation of those key health services by the poor upon which the cash transfer is conditioned, if the beneficiaries have knowledge of this condition. However, results are mixed with respect to nutrition and health outcomes, suggesting that encouraging utilisation when the pertinence of services is unknown or of poor quality may not produce the expected effects. Incipient results from Mexico indicate, however, that service quality is not necessarily exogenous to the programme, but may be positively affected by giving the poor women skills, information, and social support to negotiate better care from healthcare providers. Findings from Mexico indicate that there are direct routes by which the cash transfers affect health, outside of the health sector interactions. In particular, the poverty alleviation achieved with the cash transfers may affect the mental health of beneficiaries, as well as their lifestyle choices. The main policy recommendation that ensues from this review is the need to find the right mix of incentives and regulation to improve the quality of care, while at the same time investing in the empowerment of users. Future research that explores the relative cost-effectiveness of investing in the supply versus the demand-side within the health system will be crucial, along with further research on the need for conditionalities. Other areas that could benefit from further evidence include morbidity outcomes from programmes other than Oportunidades, including mental health and chronic disease, impacts on health-related behaviours and attitudes, and how these factors affect outcomes, and the effects on out-of-pocket expenditure.

Programme impact on food consumption from own production, land use, livestock ownership, and agricultural spending are evaluated using first difference and weighted estimators, in which weights are constructed from propensity scores. The programme is found to increase the value and variety of food consumed from own production and to increase land use, livestock ownership and crop spending. Impact estimates are found to differ across land use categories and PROCAMPO participation. Results support the hypothesis that transfers influence agricultural production and impacts are greater for households invested in agriculture.

TI Cheatgrass facilitates spillover of a seed bank pathogen onto native grass species SO JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE apparent competition; Bromus tectorum; Drechslera campanulata; multiple-host pathogen; pathogen spillover; Pyrenophora semeniperda; seed pathogen ID PYRENOPHORA-SEMENIPERDA; ELYMUS-ELYMOIDES; SOIL; DISEASES; DYNAMICS; PLANTS; FUNGI; ESTABLISHMENT; COMPETITION; MANAGEMENT AB P>1. Pathogen spillover occurs when disease levels for a given population are driven by transmission from a reservoir species that carries a high pathogen load. Pathogen spillover is widely documented in crop systems, but has been little studied in natural plant communities. 2. The abundant seed production of weedy species may create a scenario where spillover of a generalist seed pathogen onto less abundant seeds of native hosts is possible. The invasive annual weed cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a potential reservoir species for Pyrenophora semeniperda, a multiple-host fungal seed pathogen that naturally occurs in the semi-arid western United States. 3. To investigate potential community-level consequences of spillover by this pathogen in plant communities invaded by cheatgrass, we first used artificial inoculation studies to determine the relative susceptibility of seeds of cheatgrass and five co-occurring native grasses to P. semeniperda. Secondly, we quantified the pathogen reservoir (density of pathogen-killed seeds) in the spring seed bank for cheatgrass monoculture, cheatgrass-invaded native grass, and uninvaded native grass patches. Thirdly, potential pathogen spillover onto co-occurring native grasses was quantified by planting native grass seeds into field-collected seed-zone samples from each vegetation patch type and scoring subsequent seed mortality. 4. All species tested were susceptible to infection by P. semeniperda, but their vulnerability to seed death varied as a function of germination time and degree of susceptibility. 5. Seed bank samples from cheatgrass-dominated patches contained seed densities over four times higher than samples from uninvaded native grass patches, and P. semeniperda-killed seeds were also present at much higher densities, indicating that cheatgrass can function as a reservoir for P. semeniperda. Native seeds planted into seed-zone samples from cheatgrass-dominated patches were more likely to be killed by P. semeniperda than those planted into samples from uninvaded native patches. Seed mortality also varied across years, sites and host species. 6. Synthesis. Pathogen spillover onto native seeds is likely to operate within seed banks of semi-arid communities invaded by cheatgrass, and perhaps other weeds, and may have broad consequences for community structure. Our findings also demonstrate the ecological significance of multiple-host pathosystems that operate at the seed stage.

The most abundant of the alkylphenolic compounds (APEs) were the carboxylates (APECs, >95% of the APE-related compounds), followed by NP in September and October, and NP1-2EO in March. Ratios of the different compounds' concentrations provide evidence for the season dependency of two different degradation pathways. NP concentrations found in this study, 0.087-0.69 mu g L(-1), were below acute toxicity thresholds, and below US EPA water quality criteria; although in March, concentrations were close to 40% of the chronic exposure limit for saltwater, 1.7 mu g L(-1). A simple steady-state model of the Back River suggested that total NPE concentrations in the estuary varied in accordance with concentrations in the wastewater treatment plant effluent, especially in the case of the APECs. This model also suggested that in the fall sampling events, when rain occurred, APEOs present in particulate matter might have originated in the river's tributaries rather than the treatment plant.

However, some question the ability of top-down policy to foster successful local collaboration. Through in-depth interviews and document analysis, this paper investigates social learning and transformative learning in three case studies of Community Wildfire Protection Planning (CWPP), a policy-mandated collaboration under HFRA. Not all CWPP groups engaged in social learning. Those that did learned most about organisational priorities and values through communicative learning. Few participants gained new skills or knowledge through instrumental learning. CWPP groups had to commit to learning, but the design of the collaborative-mandate influenced the type of learning that was most likely to occur. This research suggests a potential role for top-down policy in setting the structural context for learning at the local level, but also confirms the importance of collaborative context and process in fostering social learning.

TI Regional-scale Assessment of Soil Salinity in the Red River Valley Using Multi-year MODIS EVI and NDVI SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID YIELD AB The ability to inventory and map soil salinity at regional scales remains a significant challenge to scientists concerned with the salinization of agricultural soils throughout the world. Previous attempts to use satellite or aerial imagery to assess soil salinity have found limited success in part because of the inability of methods to isolate the effects of soil salinity on vegetative growth from other factors. This study evaluated the use of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery in conjunction with directed soil sampling to assess and map soil salinity at a regional scale (i.e., 10-10(5) km(2)) in a parsimonious manner. Correlations with three soil salinity ground truth datasets differing in scale were made in Kittson County within the Red River Valley (RRV) of North Dakota and Minnesota, an area where soil salinity assessment is a top priority for the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Multi-year MODIS imagery was used to mitigate the influence of temporally dynamic factors Such as weather, pests, disease, and management influences. The average of the MODIS enhanced vegetation index (EVI) for a 7-yr period exhibited a strong relationship with soil salinity in all three datasets, and Outperformed the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). One-third to one-half of the spatial variability in soil salinity could be captured by measuring average MODIS EVI and whether the land qualified for the Conservation Reserve Program (a USDA program that sets aside marginally productive land based on conservation principles). The approach has the practical simplicity to allow broad application in areas where limited resources are available for salinity assessment. C1 [Lobell, D.

TI Methane Flux in Cropland and Adjacent Riparian Buffers with Different Vegetation Covers SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID LAND-USE CHANGE; SOIL ORGANIC-MATTER; NITROUS-OXIDE; AGRICULTURAL ECOSYSTEMS; GAS FLUXES; OXIDATION; FOREST; WATER; CARBON; N2O AB While water quality functions of conservation buffers established adjacent to cropped Fields have been widely documented, the relative contribution of these re-established perennial plant systems to greenhouse gases has not been completely documented. In the case of methane (CH(4)), these systems have the potential to serve as sinks of CH(4) or may provide favorable conditions for CH(4) production. This study quantifies CH(4) flux from soils of riparian buffer systems comprised of three vegetation types and compares these fluxes with those of adjacent crop fields. We measured soil properties and diel and seasonal variations of CH(4) flux in 7 to 17 yr-old re-established riparian forest buffers, warm-season and cool-season grass filters, and an adjacent crop field located in the Bear Creek watershed in central Iowa. Forest buffer and grass filter soils had significantly lower bulk density (P < 0.01); and higher pH (P < 0.01), total carbon (TC) (P < 0.01), and total nitrogen (TN) (P < 0.01) than crop field soils. There was no significant relationship between CH(4) flux mid soil moisture or soil temperature among sites within the range of conditions observed. Cumulative CH(4) flux was -0.80 kg CH(4)-C ha(-1) yr(-1) in the cropped field, -0.416 kg CH(4)-C ha(-1) yr(-1) within the forest buffers, and 0.04 kg CH(4)-C ha(-1) yr(-1) within grass filters, but difference among vegetation covers was not significant. Results Suggest that CH(4) flux was not changed after establishment of perennial vegetation on cropped soils, despite significant changes in soil properties.

Monensin fed Cows (MON, 600 mg d(-1)) were compared with untreated control cows (CON, 0 mg d(-1)) with respect to the effects of monensin on the production of three greenhouse gases (GHG), methane (CH(4)), nitrous oxide (N(2)O), and carbon dioxide (CO,), along with animal performance (dry matter intake; DMI), milk production, milk components, plasma urea nitrogen (PUN), milk urea nitrogen (MUN), and the microbial population structure of fresh feces. Measurements of GHG were collected at Days 14 and 60 in an environmental chamber simulating commercial dairy freestall housing conditions. Milk production and DMI measurements were collected twice daily over the 60-d experimental period; milk components, PUN, and MUN were measured on Days 14 and 60. The microbial population structure of feces from 6 MON and 6 CON cows was examined on three different occasions (Days 14, 30, and 60). Monensin did not affect emissions of methane (CH(4)), nitrous oxide (N(2)O), and carbon dioxide (CO(2)). Over a 24-h period, emissions of CH(4), N(2)O, and CO(2) decreased in both MON and CON groups. Animal performance and the microbial population structure of the animal fresh waste were also unaffected for MON vs. CON cows.

TI Simplified Method for Quantifying Theoretical Underestimation of Chamber-Based Trace Gas Fluxes SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID STEADY-STATE CHAMBERS; NITROUS-OXIDE; NUMERICAL EVALUATION; SOIL RESPIRATION; EMISSIONS; ATMOSPHERE; EXCHANGE; N2O; MANAGEMENT; TILLAGE AB Closed chambers used to measure soil-atmosphere exchange of trace gases including nitrous oxide (N(2)O) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) generate errors due to suppression of the gas concentration gradient at the soil-atmosphere interface. A method is described here for estimating the magnitude of flux underestimation arising from chamber deployment. The technique is based on previously established gas transport theory and has been simplified to facilitate application while preserving the fundamental physical relationships. The method avoids the use of nonlinear regression but requires knowledge of soil properties including texture, bulk density water content, temperature, and pH. Two options are presented: a numerical technique which is easily adapted to spreadsheet application, and a graphical method requiring minimal calculation. In both cases, the magnitude of theoretical flux underestimation (TFU) is determined, taking into account effects of chamber geometry and deployment time, the flux-calculation scheme, and properties of the soil and gas under consideration. Application to actual data and recent Studies confirmed that TFU can vary widely within and across sites. The analysis also revealed a highly linear correlation between soil water content and TFU, Suggesting that previously observed relationships between water content and trace gas flux may in part reflect artifacts of chamber methodology. The method described here provides a practical means of improving the absolute accuracy of flux estimates and normalizing data obtained using different chamber designs in different soils.

TI Impacts of Fertilization on Water Quality of a Drained Pine Plantation: A Worst Case Scenario SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID LOBLOLLY-PINE; FOREST FERTILIZATION; NORTH-CAROLINA; HYDROLOGY; MANAGEMENT; PHOSPHORUS; NITROGEN; BLOOMS; STANDS AB Intensive plantation forestry will be increasingly important in the next 50 yr to meet the high demand for domestic wood in the United States. However, forest management practices call substantially influence downstream water quality and ecology. This study analyses, the effect of fertilization oil effluent water quality of a low gradient drained coastal pine plantation in Carterer County, North Carolina using a paired watershed approach. The plantation consists of three watersheds, two mature (31-yr) and one young (8-yr) (age at treatment). One of the mature watersheds was commercially thinned in 2002. The mature unthinned watershed was designated as the control. The Young and mature-thinned watersheds were fertilized at different rates with Arborite (Encee Chemical Sales, Inc., Bridgeton, NC), and boron. Tie Outflow rates and nutrient concentrations in water drained front each of the watersheds were measured. Nutrient concentrations and loadings were analyzed using general linear models (GLM). Three large storm events occurred within 47 d of fertilization, which provided a worst case scenario for nutrient export from these watersheds to the receiving surface waters. Results showed that average nutrient concentrations soon after fertilization were significantly (alpha = 0.05) higher on both treatment watersheds than during any other period during the study. This increase ill nutrient export was short lived and nutrient concentrations and loadings were back to prefertilization levels as soon as 3 mo after fertilization. Additionally, the mature-thinned watershed presented higher average nutrient concentrations and loadings when compared to the Young watershed, which received a reduced fertilizer rate than the mature-thinned watershed.

TI Phosphorus Runoff from Waste Water Treatment Biosolids and Poultry Litter Applied to Agricultural Soils SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID SEWAGE-SLUDGE; SOURCE COEFFICIENTS; AMENDED SOILS; SANDY SOILS; LOSSES; MANAGEMENT; NUTRIENT; RELEASE; MANURE; AVAILABILITY AB Differences in the properties of organic phosphorus (P) sources, particularly those that undergo treatment to reduce Soluble P, can affect soil P solubility and P transport in surface runoff. This 2-yr field study investigated soil P solubility and runoff P losses from two agricultural soils in the Mid-Atlantic region after land application of biosolids derived from different waste water treatment processes and poultry litter. Phosphorus speciation in the biosolids and poultry litter differed due to treatment processes and significantly altered soil P solubility and dissolved reactive P (DRP) and bioavailable P (FeO-P) concentrations in surface runoff. Runoff total P (TP) concentrations were closely related to sediment transport. Initial runoff DRP and FeO-P concentrations varied among the different biosolids and poultry litter applied. Over time, as sediment transport declined and DRP concentrations became an increasingly important component of runoff FeO-P and TP, total runoff P was more strongly influenced by the type of biosolids applied. Throughout the study, application of lime-stabilized biosolids and poultry litter increased concentrations of soil-soluble P, readily desorbable P, and soil P saturation, resulting in increased DIU and FeO-P concentrations in runoff. Land application of biosolids generated from waste water treatment processes that used amendments to reduce P solubility (e.g., FeCl(3)) did not increase soil P Saturation and reduced the potential for DRP and FeO-P transport in surface runoff. These results illustrate the importance of waste water treatment plant process and determination of specific P source coefficients to account for differential P availability among organic P sources.

Manure spill clean-up consists of containing, removing, and land applying the contaminated water column, while P-enriched fluvial sediments remain in place. Therefore, the objectives of this Study were to (i) understand how P partitions between the water column and fluvial sediments during a manure spill, and (ii) evaluate the efficacy of current manure spill clean-up methods to remediate manure contaminated sediments. Manure spill simulations were conducted using fluvarium techniques and sediments collected from three drainage areas of two drainage ditches. Sediments with the greatest clay content (33%) resulted in a significantly greater P buffering capacity (10.3 L kg(-1)) and removed P from the water column at the greatest rate during the manure spill simulation relative to sediments with < 6% clay. Phosphorus uptake length for all sediments ranged from 574 to 815 m and the adsorption flux ranged from 8.9 to 16.7 mg m(-2) h(-1). After simulating the current manure spill remediation methods, P desorbed to the water from all sediments exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency total P criteria (0.076 mg L(-1)) for the region by at least 67%. Furthermore, results from this study suggest that the Current manure spill remediation method needs refining to mitigate P from the total fluvial system water column and sediment following a spill.

The effects of different WFS-containing amendments on turfgrass growth and nutrient content were tested by planting perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub) in different blends containing WFS. Blends of WFS were created with compost or acid-washed sand (AWS) at varying percent by volume With WFS or by amendment with gypsum (9.6 g gypsum kg(-1) WFS). Measurements of soil strength, shoot and root dry weight, plant surface coverage, and micronutrients (Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B, Na) and macronutrients (N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg) were performed for each blend and compared with pore WFS and with a commercial potting media control. Results showed that strength was not a factor for any of the parameters studied, but the K/Na base saturation ratio of WFS:compost mixes was highly correlated with total shoot dry weight for perennial ryegrass (r = 0.995) and call fescue (r = 0.94). This was further substantiated because total shoot dry weight was also correlated with shoot K/Na concentration of perennial ryegrass (r = 0.99) and tall fescue (r = 0.95). A compost blend containing 40% WFS was determined to be the optimal amendment for the reuse of WFS because it incorporated the greatest possible amount of WFS without major reduction in turfgrass growth.

TI Matrix-based Fertilizers Reduce Nutrient and Bacterial Leaching after Manure Application in a Greenhouse Column Study SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS; ESCHERICHIA-COLI O157-H7; CATTLE FEEDLOT MANURE; DAIRY MANURE; MICROBIAL COMMUNITY; RIPARIAN FILTERSTRIPS; COMPOSTED MANURE; PURIFIED LIGNIN; SOIL PROPERTIES; IONIC-STRENGTH AB We tested the efficacy of matrix-based fertilizers (MBFs) to reduce Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp., NH(4), NO(3), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), and total phosphorus (TP) in leachate and soil after dairy manure application in greenhouse column studies. The MBFs are composed of inorganic N and P in compounds that are relatively loosely bound (MBF8) to more tightly bound (MBF9) mixtures using combinations of starch, cellulose, lignin, Al(2)(SO(4))(3)18H(2)O, and/or Fe(2)(SO(4))(3)3H(2)O to create a matrix that slowly releases the nutrients. One day after the first dairy manure application, E coli numbers were greater in leachate from control columns than in leachate from columns receiving MBFs. After three dairy manure applications, E. coli and Enterococcus spp. numbers in leachates were not consistently different between controls and Columns receiving MBFs. When MBF8 was applied to the soil, the total amount of DRP, TP, NH(4), and NO(3) in leachate was lower than in the control columns. Bermudagrass receiving MBFs had greater shoot, root, and total biomass than grass growing in the control columns. Grass shoot, root, and total biomass did not differ among columns receiving MBFs. Nitrogen and phosphorus bound to the Al(2)(SO(4))(3)18H(2)O or Fe(2)(SO(4))3H(2)O-lignin-cellulose matrix become gradually available to plants over the growing season. The MBF8 and MBF9 formulations do not depend on organic or inorganic coatings to reduce N and P leaching and have the potential with further testing and development to provide an effective method to reduce N and P leaching from soils created with animal waste.

TI Long-Term Effects of Land Application of Class B Biosolids on the Soil Microbial Populations, Pathogens, and Activity SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID SEWAGE-SLUDGE; AGRICULTURAL SOIL; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; BACTERIAL-RESISTANCE; PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES; SURVIVAL; MICROORGANISMS; INDICATOR; FERTILITY; WASTES AB This Study evaluated the influence of 20 annual land applications of Class B biosolids on the soil microbial community. The potential benefits and hazards of land application were evaluated by analysis of surface soil samples collected following the 20th land application of biosolids. The study was initiated in 1986 at the University of Arizona Marana Agricultural Center, 21 miles north of Tucson, AZ. The final application of biosolids was in March 2005, followed by growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) from April through November 2005. Surface soil samples (0-30 cm) were collected monthly from March 2005, 2 wk after the final biosolids application, through December 2005, and analyzed for soil microbial numbers. December samples were analyzed for additional soil microbial properties. Data show that land application of Class B biosolids had no significant long-term effect on indigenous soil microbial numbers including bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi compared to unamended control plots. Importantly, no bacterial or viral pathogens were detected in soil samples collected from biosolid amended plots in December (10 mo after the last land application) demonstrating that pathogens introduced via Class B biosolids only survived in soil transiently. However, plots that received biosolids had significantly higher microbial activity or potential for microbial transformations, including nitrification, sulfur oxidation, and dehydrogenase activity, than control plots and plots receiving inorganic fertilizers. Overall, the 20 annual land applications showed no long-term adverse effects, and therefore, this study documents that land application of biosolids at this particular Site Was Sustainable throughout the 20-yr period, with respect to soil microbial properties.

TI Nitrogen Source Tracking with delta N-15 Content of Coastal Wetland Plants in Hawaii SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID ISOTOPE RATIOS; SALT MARSHES; NARRAGANSETT-BAY; FLORIDA-KEYS; NEW-ENGLAND; FOOD WEBS; LAND-USE; CARBON; EUTROPHICATION; SEWAGE AB Inter- and intra-site comparisons of the nitrogen (N) stable isotope composition of wetland plant species have been used to identify sources of N in coastal areas. In this Study, we compared delta N-15 values from different herbaceous wetland plants across 34 different coastal wetlands from the five main Hawaiian Islands and investigated relationships of delta N-15 with land use, human Population density and Surface water quality parameters (i.e., nitrate, ammonium, and total dissolved N). The highest delta N-15 values were observed in plants from wetlands on the islands of Oahu (8.7-14.6 parts per thousand) and Maui (8.9-9.2 parts per thousand), whereas plants from wetlands on the islands of Kauai, Hawaii, and Molokai had delta N-15 Values usually <4 parts per thousand. The enrichment in delta N-15 values in plant tissues from wetlands on Oahu and Maui was most likely a result of the more developed and densely populated watersheds on these two islands. Urban development within a 1000-m radius and Population density were positively correlated to average delta N-15 vegetation values from each wetland site (r = 0.56 and 0.51, respectively; p < 0.001). This suggested that site mean delta N-15 values from mixed stands of wetland plants have potential as indices of N sources in coastal lowland wetlands in Hawaii and that certain sites on Oahu and Maui have experienced significant anthropogenic N loading. This information can be used to monitor future changes in N inputs to coastal wetlands throughout Hawaii and the Pacific.

TI Oxygen transfer in marsh-pond-marsh constructed wetlands treating swine wastewater SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH PART A-TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Swine wastewater; ammonia emission; oxygen balance; constructed wetlands AB Oxygen transfer efficiencies of various components of the marsh-pond-marsh (M-P-M) and marsh-floating bed-marsh (M-FB-M) wetlands treating swine wastewater were determined by performing oxygen mass balance around the wetlands. Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total nitrogen (TN) loading and escaping rates from each wetland were used to calculate carbonaceous and nitrogenous oxygen demands. Ammonia emissions were measured using a wind tunnel. Oxygen transfer efficiencies of the aerated ponds were estimated by conducting the ASCE standard oxygen transfer test in a tank using the same aeration device. Covering pond water surface with the floating bed slightly decreased oxygen transfer efficiency. The diffused membrane aeration (26.7 kg O2 ha-1 d-1) of M-P-M was surprisingly not as effective as plant aeration in the marsh (38.9 to 42.0 kg O2 ha-1 d-1). This unusually low oxygen transfer efficiency of the diffused aeration was attributed to its low submergence depth of 0.8 m compared to typical depth of 4.5 m. The wetlands consisting entirely of marsh removed similar amounts of C and N without investing additional equipment and energy costs of aerating ponds in the middle of wetlands.

TI Hydrolysis and photolysis of oxytetracycline in aqueous solution SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH PART B-PESTICIDES FOOD CONTAMINANTS AND AGRICULTURAL WASTES LA English DT Article DE Oxytetracycline; hydrolysis; photolysis; degradation; calcium cation; kinetics ID VETERINARY ANTIBIOTICS; DEGRADATION KINETICS; LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY; ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS; RESISTANCE GENES; DEIONIZED WATER; MANURE; TEMPERATURE; FATE; SOIL AB Oxytetracycline ((2Z, 4S, 4aR, 5S, 5aR, 6S, 12aS)-2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a member of tetracycline antibiotics family and is widely administered to farm animals for the purpose of therapeutical treatment and health protection. Increasing attention has been paid to the environmental fate of oxytetracycline and other veterinary antibiotics with the occurrence of these antibiotics in the environment. The hydrolysis and photolysis degradation of oxytetracycline was investigated in this study. Oxytetracycline hydrolysis was found to obey the first-order model and similar rate constant values ranging from 0.094 +/- 0.001 to 0.106 +/- 0.003 day(-1) were obtained at different initial concentration ranging from 10 to 230 mu M. Solution pH and temperature were shown to have remarked effects on oxytetracycline hydrolysis. The hydrolysis in pH neutral solution appeared to be much faster than in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Oxytetracycline half-life decreased from 1.2 x 10(2) to 0.15 day with the increasing temperature from 4 +/- 0.8 to 60 +/- 1 degrees C. The presence of Ca(2+) made oxytetracycline hydrolytic degradation kinetics deviate from the simple first-order model to the availability-adjusted first-order model and greatly slowed down the hydrolysis. Oxytetracycline photolysis was found to be very fast with a degradation rate constant at 3.61 +/- 0.06 day(-1), which is comparable to that of hydrolysis at 60 degrees C. The presence of Ca(2+) accelerated oxytetracycline photolysis, implying that oxytetracycline become more vulnerable to sunlight irradiation after chelating with Ca(2+). The photolysis may be the dominant degradation pathway of oxytetracycline in shallow transparent water environment.

TI Influence of fumigants on soil microbial diversity and survival of E. coli O157:H7 SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH PART B-PESTICIDES FOOD CONTAMINANTS AND AGRICULTURAL WASTES LA English DT Article DE Methyl bromide; methyl iodide; fumigant; Escherichia coli O157:H7; denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis; microbial diversity; survival ID METHYL-BROMIDE; IRRIGATION WATER; LETTUCE; O157-H7; IODIDE; MANURE; PERSISTENCE; FUMIGATION AB The aim of this study was to assess the effects of soil fumigation with methyl bromide (MeBr; CH3Br) and methyl iodide (MeI, iodomethane; CH3I) on the microbial community structure and diversity in two soils and determine the effects of microbial diversity on the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from contaminated irrigation water. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify 16S rRNA from total bacterial community composition and the products were subjected to denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The Shannon-Weaver index of diversity (H') was used to determine the effects of both fumigants on soil microbial diversity. The effect was more severe in sandy soil than in clay soil at the normal application rate of MeBr and MeI. Our results showed that MeBr and MeI have about the same effects on soil microbial diversity. The two fumigants had greater impact on microbial diversity in sandy soil than in clay soil and this resulted in higher survival of E. coli O157:H7 in sandy soil than in clay soil during the 50 days that the study was conducted. MeBr has been used as soil fumigant for 40 years with no serious detrimental effects on agricultural production and our research also suggests that the use of MeI may also produce no long-term detrimental effects on agricultural production since both fumigants had about the same effects on soil microbial communities. Therefore, soil systems with reduced microbial diversity may offer greater opportunities for the survival of pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli O157:H7. C1 [Ibekwe, A. M.; Grieve, C.

Green Forest) plants by culture-dependent and -independent methods after soil fumigation. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) with 16S rRNA primers followed by cloning and sequencing was used to identify major rRNA bands from the rhizosphere and phyllosphere. Three weeks after fumigation, there were no differences (P = 0.16) in rhizosphere microbial communities between the fumigated treatments and the control. The same effect was observed during week seven after fumigation (P=0.49). Also, no significant differences (P=0.49) were found in the phyllosphere microbial communities between the fumigated treatments and the control during the growth period of the plant. A majority of the bands in the rhizosphere were related to known bacterial sequences with a 96 to 100 % sequence similarity. Some of the derived sequences were related to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC300 and Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110. A total of 23 isolates were identified from leaf surface by both culture-dependent and independent methods, and only Photorhabdus luminescens was found on leaf surface using both techniques. All the Biolog isolates from phyllosphere were from the Proteobacteria phylum compared to the culture-independent bands from the leaves that were from different bacterial phyla. Based on our data, methyl bromide (MeBr) and methyl iodide (MeI) did not have any significant negative effects on rhizosphere and phyllosphere microbial communities throughout the growing period of lettuce.

Parathion (PA) was the targeted pesticide, and rabbit polyclonal antibody (Pab) and mouse monoclonal antibody (Mab) were used as carrier proteins. The Ab-PA complexes were generated by conjugating the two antibodies with an excessive dosage of PA. It was shown that the sensitivity of homologous enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the new antibodies was similar to that using original antibodies. However, the new mouse Pab had not only similar positive recognizing spectrum as the original Mab, but also a significantly improved sensitivity in heterologous ELISA when some recognizable competitors were applied. IC(50) value of ELISA based on a combination of the new mouse Pab and hapten 9 was 0.24 ng/mL, which was 445.54 times as that of the homologous ELISA. An Ab-pesticide complex may be a suitable alternative immunogen for producing highly specific antibody to improve the immunoassay sensitivity.

TI Screening Capsicum chinense fruits for heavy metals bioaccumulation SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH PART B-PESTICIDES FOOD CONTAMINANTS AND AGRICULTURAL WASTES LA English DT Article DE Hot peppers; Cd; Pb; Ni; high accumulator genotypes; low accumulator genotypes ID SEWAGE-SLUDGE; COUNTRIES; PUNGENCY; ORIGIN; SOIL; ZN; CD; PB; CU AB Elevated concentrations of heavy metals in edible plants could expose consumers to excessive levels of potentially hazardous chemicals. Sixty-three accessions (genotypes) of Capsicum chinense Jacq, collected from 8 countries of origin were grown in a silty-loam soil under field conditions. At maturity, fruits were collected and analyzed for seven heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Mo) concentrations. The main objectives of this investigation were: 1) to determine the concentrations of seven heavy metals in the soil and monitor their accumulation in mature fruits, 2) to categorize the pepper accessions as low or high heavy metal accumulators, and 3) to determine if heavy metal content of the pepper fruit was lower than the permitted limits. Concentrations and relative proportions of heavy metals in pepper fruits of C. chinense varied among accessions. Fruits of Plant Introduction (PI) 355820 accumulated significant concentrations of Cd (0.47 mu g g (1) dry fruit). PI-260522 accumulated the highest concentration of Pb (2.12 mu g g (1) dry fruit) among the 63 accessions tested. This accession (PI-260522) contained about twice the Pb limit on a fresh weight basis. Among the 63 accessions analyzed, PI-238051 contained the highest levels of Ni (17.2 mu g g(-1)). We concluded that high accumulator genotypes may be useful for phytoremediation, while, low accumulator accessions might be appropriate selections for growing on Cd-, Pb-, or Ni-contaminated soils to prevent potential human exposure to heavy metals and health hazards through the food chain.

TI Development of an efficient extraction method for oxytetracycline in animal manure for high performance liquid chromatography analysis SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH PART B-PESTICIDES FOOD CONTAMINANTS AND AGRICULTURAL WASTES LA English DT Article DE Oxytetracycline; tetracyclines; antibiotic; extraction; manure; analysis; high performance liquid chromatography ID TANDEM MASS-SPECTROMETRY; SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION; TETRACYCLINE RESIDUES; FLUORESCENCE DETECTION; RESISTANCE GENES; ANTIBIOTICS; CHLORTETRACYCLINE; SOIL; WATER; HPLC AB Oxytetracycline (2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a, 5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a major member of the tetracycline antibiotics family of which are widely administered to animals in concentrated animal feeding operations for purposes of therapeutical treatment and health protection. With the disposal of animal manure as fertilizer into agricultural land, tetracyclines enter the environment. However, tetracyclines chelate with multivalent cations and proteins, resulting in low extraction efficiencies from animal manure for tetracycline residue analysis. In this study an efficient extraction method for oxytetracycline from steer manure using methanol/water solution amended with chelating organic acid was developed for the analysis of high performance liquid chromatography. The effect of species and amount of amendment acids, shaking time, methanol/water ratio, manure weight, and repeated times of extraction was investigated. It was optimized to amend 2.5 g citric acid and 1.1 g oxalic acid with 10.0 g manure sample in a 50-ml centrifuge tube and extract with 15 ml methanol/water (9: 1 in volume) by vigorously shaking for 30 min in a reciprocating shaker. After centrifugation at 11,000 rpm, supernatant is collected. Sample was extracted for a total of 3 times. The developed extraction method was further applied to extract oxytetracycline from fresh and aged cow manure, swine and poultry manure, and soil. Satisfactory recoveries ranging from (84.1 +/- 2.4) % to (102.0 +/- 3.1) % were obtained, demonstrating that the optimized extraction method is robust for oxytetracycline from different manure sample matrixes.

Gypsum application was included due to its widespread use on peanut (Arachis hypogaea). Both agricultural grade gypsum and reagent CaSO4-2H2O were tested. A laboratory soil incubation was conducted to evaluate interactive effects. Results indicated 1.5X greater metolachlor half-life (DT50) in soil amended with chlorothalonil (37 d) as compared to control soil (25 d). The two gypsum sources alone increased metolachlor DT50 to about 32 d and with the combination of chlorothalonil and gypsum, DT50 was 50 d, 2-fold greater than the control. Chlorothalonil dissipation was rapid (DT50 4d). A possible explanation for metolachlor dissipation kinetics is a build-up of the chlorothalonil intermediate (4-hydroxychlorothalonil) which limited soil microbial activity and depleted glutathione S-transferase (GST) from chlorothalonil detoxification. Further information related to gypsum impacts is needed. Results confirm previous reports of chlorothalonil impeding metolachlor dissipation and showed the gypsum application extended persistence even longer. Farming practices, such as reducing metolachlor application rates, may need to be adjusted for peanut cropping systems where chlorothalonil and gypsum are used.

Red and far-red light are sensed using the phytochrome family of plant photoreceptors. Individual phytochromes display both unique and overlapping roles throughout the life cycle of plants, regulating a range of developmental processes from seed germination to the timing of reproductive development. The evolution of multiple phytochrome photoreceptors has enhanced plant sensitivity to fluctuating light environments, diversifying phytochrome function, and facilitating conditional cross-talk with other signalling systems. The isolation of null mutants, deficient in all individual phytochromes, has greatly advanced understanding of phytochrome functions in the model species, Arabidopsis thaliana. The creation of mutants null for multiple phytochrome combinations has enabled the dissection of redundant interactions between family members, revealing novel regulatory roles for this important photoreceptor family. In this review, current knowledge of phytochrome functions in the light-regulated development of Arabidopsis is summarised.

There were three distinct phases in the response of stomatal conductance (g(s)) to changes in LVPD. At low LVPD, g(s) increased with increasing LVPD (phase one). During the second phase, g(s) was maximal at low to intermediate LVPD and during the third phase g(s) declined steadily as LVPD increased. The responsiveness of g(s) to LVPD exhibited a height-related pattern such that maximum g(s) (g(s-max)) occurred at progressively greater LVPD with increasing height (r(2)=0.55, P=0.006). Bulk leaf osmotic potential at full turgor decreased with height (r(2)=0.77, P=0.00016), and LVPD at g(s-max) and at maximum crown conductance (g(c-max)) in the field were significantly correlated with leaf turgor (r(2)=0.92, P=0.0093). Cuticle thickness increased by 0.044 mu m for every metre increase in height (r(2)=0.78, P=0.00015). The observed trends in the response of g(s) to LVPD along a height gradient, and their consistency with height-related trends in foliar osmotic potential suggest that osmotic adjustment at the tops of tall trees influences the relationship between g(s) and LVPD.

However, the molecules that affect plant responses to glucose and phytohormones remain to be fully elucidated. Eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1) is responsible for the recognition of the stop codons in mRNAs during protein synthesis. Accumulating evidence indicates that eRF1 functions in other processes in addition to translation termination. The physiological role of eRF1-2, a member of the eRF1 family, in Arabidopsis was examined here. The eRF1-2 gene was found to be specifically induced by glucose. Arabidopsis plants overexpressing eRF1-2 were hypersensitive to glucose during germination and early seedling development. Such hypersensitivity to glucose was accompanied by a dramatic reduction of the expression of glucose-regulated genes, chlorophyll a/b binding protein and plastocyanin. The hypersensitive response was not due to the enhanced accumulation of ABA. In addition, the eRF1-2 overexpressing plants showed increased sensitivity to paclobutrazol, an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis, and exogenous GA restored their normal growth. By contrast, the loss-of-function erf1-2 mutant exhibited resistance to paclobutrazol, suggesting that eRF1-2 may exert a negative effect on the GA signalling pathway. Collectively, these data provide evidence in support of a novel role of eRF1-2 in affecting glucose and phytohormone responses in modulating plant growth and development.

However, ethylene plays many roles in root development and whether its role in nematode colonization is direct or indirect, for example lateral root initiation or root hair growth, is not known. The temporal requirement for ethylene and localized synthesis of ethylene during the life span of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) on soybean roots was further investigated. Although a significant increase in ethylene evolution was not detected from SCN-colonized roots, the concentration of the immediate precursor to ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), was higher in SCN-colonized root pieces and root tips than in other parts of the root. Moreover, expression analysis of 17 ACC synthase (ACS) genes indicated that a select set of ACS genes is expressed in SCN-colonized root pieces that is clearly different from the set of genes expressed in non-colonized roots or root tips. Semi-quantitative real-time PCR indicated that ACS transcript accumulation correlates with the high concentration of ACC in root tips. In addition, an ACS-like sequence was found in the public SCN nucleotide database. Acquisition of a full-length sequence for this mRNA (accession GQ389647) and alignment with transcripts for other well-characterized ACS proteins indicated that the nematode sequence is missing a key element required for ACS activity and therefore probably is not a functional ACS. Moreover, no significant amount of ACC was found in any growth stage of SCN that was tested.

The objectives of this study were to isolate soluble and insoluble proteins from hydrolyzed catfish skin, study the reological and functional properties of the protein hydrolysates, and evaluate the properties of emulsions made from the protein powders. Freeze-dried catfish skin soluble (CSSH) and insoluble hydrolysate (CSISH) powders were analyzed for proximate analysis, emulsion stability, fat absorption, amino acids, color, and reological properties. CSSH had significantly (P < 0.05) higher protein, ash, and moisture content but lower fat content than that of CSISH. The yield of CSSH (21.5% +/- 2.2%) was higher than that of CSISH (3% +/- 0.3%). CSISH had higher emulsion stability than CSSH. CSSH was light yellow in color and CSISH was darker. The mean flow index values for emulsion containing CSSH (ECSSH) and CSISH (ECSISH) were both less than 1, indicating that they were both pseudoplastic fluid. The G' and G '' values for the ECSISH were higher than that of ECSSH, indicating that the viscoelastic characteristic of the emulsion containing CSISH was greater than that of the emulsion containing CSSH. The study demonstrated the CSSH and CSISH had good functional and rheological properties. They have potential uses as functional food ingredients.

A cocktail of 8 serotypes of Salmonella spp. was inoculated Into ground beef supplemented with sodium lactate (NaL) (1.5% and 3%) and/or oregano oil (0.5% and 1%) to obtain approximately 8 log CFU/g. The ground beef samples (3 g) were vacuum-packed and heated at 60, 65, or 71 degrees C in a circulating water bath for selected times to inactivate approximately 5 to 6 log CFU/g of the pathogen, and then stored at 15 degrees C for 15 and 30 d. Results show that especially at the lower cooking temperatures, addition of oregano oil increased the inactivation rate of Salmonella spp., whereas addition of NaL alone exhibited a protective effect against lethality and decreased the rate. Addition of combinations of oregano oil and NaL overcame this protective effect. During subsequent posttreatment storage for 15 d, Salmonella populations in the controls and in samples containing 0.5% oregano (60 and 65 degrees C) or 1% oregano oil (60 degrees C) increased to 4.5 to 6 log CFU/g. The values for all other samples were at or near undetectable levels. Results from the 30-d storage study were similar. These findings indicate that lactate and oregano oil may be used to render Salmonella spp. more susceptible to the lethal effect of heat and to Inhibit growth of Salmonella spp. that survive heat treatments.

With respect to the adipose cell lineage, much of our present understanding of adipogenesis and lipid metabolism was initially determined through the use of these methods, even though the in vitro or molecular environments are far removed from the tissues of meat animals. This concise review focuses on recent cellular and molecular biology related research with adipocytes, and how the research might be extended to the endpoint of altering red meat quality. Moreover, economic and policy impacts of such in animal production regiments is discussed. These issues are important not only with respect to palatability, but also to offer enhanced health benefits to the consumer by altering content of bioactive components in adipocytes.

In this study, we compare the stability of raw and boiled shrimp TM of Litopenaeus vannamei and evaluate how boiling may alter the allergenicity of L. vannamei. Extracts were prepared from raw and boiled shrimp and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and two-dimensional electrophoresis. The IgE-binding of the extracts was determined by western-blot and competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). The TM was then purified from raw and boned shrimp, the secondary structures analyzed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and the IgE binding compared by slot blot analysis. The soluble protein content decreased and the higher molecular weight proteins increased hi the extracts from boiled versus raw shrimp. Similar IgE binding characteristics were seen by extracts when using western blot analysis. Although iELISA results showed that extracts from raw shrimp bound higher IgE than extracts from boned shrimp, dot-blot assay demonstrates higher IgE binding to purified TM from boiled shrimp than raw shrimp. The purified TM bad a typical alpha-helical secondary structure and the stability of boiled TM was lower than that of raw TM. Extracts from boiled shrimp produce lower IgE binding than extracts from raw shrimp, which suggest that boiling can be used as a tool in attempting to reduce shrimp allergenicity. However, the purified TM from boiled shrimp, which shows enhanced IgE binding over that of raw shrimp, may be a more effective antigen in diagnosing shrimp allergy through immunoassay.

As such, fire scientists and managers have conceptually developed and are refining methodologies for strategic placement of fuel treatments that more efficiently limit the spread and severity of fire across forested landscapes. Although these methodologies undoubtedly improve managers' ability to plan and evaluate various landscape fuel treatment scenarios, there is still a considerable gap between modeling landscape fuel treatments and actually implementing these treatments "on the ground." In this article we explore this gap in light of decisions managers make with regards to the type, intensity, placement/pattern, and size of fuel treatments. Additionally, we highlight several critical constraints acting on managers when implementing fuel treatments across landscapes and offer some suggestions for dealing with these constraints.

This project used a participatory stakeholder process to explore and understand urban forestry research and technology transfer needs in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The approach can be readily used for any geographic region or metropolitan area. A two-phase, abbreviated Delphi process was conducted, inviting input from urban forestry professionals, academics, and agency-based managers. Research issues were identified and prioritized within three themes: urban forest resource, resource management, and community framework. The results serve as a stakeholder relevant research framework to guide science proposals for funding initiatives of regional and national levels. Notable is major support by respondents for a better understanding of the transactional dynamics of human systems and urban natural resources.

Here the concentrations of chicoric acid in dried and fresh basil products available to consumers, and how these concentrations compare to those from E. purpurea are reported. A wide range of chicoric acid concentrations (6.48-242.50 mg/100 g or 100 mL) were found in the dried basil flakes, fresh basil leaves, E. purpurea extracts, and E. purpurea capsules. Fresh basil leaves had higher concentrations of chicoric acid than dried basil flakes. Although E. purpurea extracts and capsules contained higher concentrations of chicoric acid than fresh basil leaves, basil could be an economical and more readily available source for chicoric acid for consumers. Additionally, cultivar selection, dehydration processing improvements, and proper storage methods may improve the final chicoric acid levels of future basil crops and products.

A total of 84 full-length coat protein (CP) sequences and 57 sequences representing the helicase-encoding region (HR) of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase were obtained from wine grape cultivars grown in the Pacific North-West (PNW) of the United States and their molecular diversity was compared with corresponding sequences previously reported from other grape-growing regions. In pairwise comparisons, the CP sequences from PNW isolates showed identities between 80 and 100% at the nucleotide level and the HR sequences showed identities between 79 and 100%. A global phylogenetic analysis of the CP and HR sequences revealed segregation of GRSPaV isolates into four major lineages with isolates from PNW distributed in all four lineages, indicating a lack of clustering by geographical origin. Scion cultivars grafted onto rootstock were found to contain mixtures of more genetic variants belonging to different lineages than own-rooted cultivars. Assessment of population genetic parameters found that the CP was more variable than the HR region. The discordant gene phylogenies obtained for some CP and HR sequences and the identification of potential recombination events involving parents from different lineages provided strong evolutionary evidence for genetic diversity among GRSPaV isolates. These results underscore the highly variable nature of the virus with implications for grapevine health status and distribution of virus-tested planting materials. This study also contributes to an increased understanding of molecular population genetics of viruses infecting deciduous woody perennials.

Two clones induced necrosis and plant death; a mixture of all four clones induced milder symptoms than AltMV-SP. Replication of all clones was enhanced by a minimum of fourfold at 15 degrees C. A mixture of clones 4-7 (severe) and 3-1 (mild) was indistinguishable from AltMV-SP, but the ratio of 4-7 to 3-1 differed at 25 and 15 degrees C. RNA copy numbers of mixed infections were always below those of 4-7 alone. Determinants of symptom severity were identified in both Pol and TGB1; the mildest (4-1) and most severe (3-7) clones differed at three residues in the 'core' Pol domain [R(1110)P, K(11121)R, R(11255)K] and one [S(1535)P] in the C-terminal Pol domain of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and one in TGB1 [P(88)L].Pol[P(1110),R(1121),K(1255)]+TGB1(L(88))] always induced systemic necrosis at 15 degrees C. Gene exchanges of Pol and TGB1 each affected replication and symptom expression, with TGB1(P(88)) significantly reducing silencing suppression. The difference in silencing suppression between TGB1(P(88)) and TGB1(L(88)) was confirmed by an agroinfiltration assay. Further, co-expression of TGB1(P(88)) and TGB1(L(138)) resulted in interference in the suppression of silencing by TGB1(L(88)). Yeast two-hybrid analysis confirmed that TGB1(P(88)) and TGB(1L(88)) interact. These results identify a TGB1 residue that significantly affects replication and silencing suppression, but maintains full movement functions.

TI On optimal stability-test spacing for assessing snow avalanche conditions SO JOURNAL OF GLACIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SPATIAL VARIABILITY; SHEAR-STRENGTH; SLOPES; RESISTANCE; LAYERS AB Assessing snow stability requires a holistic approach, relying on avalanche, snowpack and weather observations. Part of this assessment utilizes stability tests, but these tests can be unreliable due in part to the spatial variability of test results. Conducting more than one test can help to mitigate this uncertainty, though it is unclear how far apart to space tests to optimize our assessments. To address this issue we analyze the probability of sampling two relatively strong test results over 25 spatial datasets collected using a variety of stability tests. Our results show that the optimal distance for spacing stability tests varies by dataset, even when taking the sampling scheme and stability-test type into account. This suggests that no clear rule currently exists for spacing stability tests. Our work further emphasizes the spatial complexity of snow stability measurements, and the need for holistic stability assessments where stability tests are only one part of a multifaceted puzzle.

TI Climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems in metropolitan Chicago and its surrounding, multi-state region SO JOURNAL OF GREAT LAKES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Climate change; Forest composition; Wildlife; Invasive species; Agriculture; Hardiness zones ID GLOBAL CHANGE; ELEVATED CO2; HIGH-TEMPERATURE; UNITED-STATES; FOREST; CONSEQUENCES; GLYPHOSATE; ENVELOPE; HABITAT; BIOMASS AB This paper describes the potential impacts of warming temperatures and changing precipitation on plants, wildlife, invasive species, pests, and agricultural ecosystems across the multi-state region centered on Chicago, Illinois. We examine a geographic area that captures much of Lake Michigan, including a complex mosaic of urbanization and agriculture surrounding southern Lake Michigan. We consider species currently present within this broad region as well as species that are expected to move into or out of the area as climate zones shift northward through the coming century. Our analysis draws upon disparate data sources to compile projections. We conclude that a complex mixture of land use poses particular challenges to natural ecosystems in this region under climate change. Dispersal is likely to be limited for some species, and some populations of native taxa may already be reduced due to habitat loss. Other species can persist, even thrive, within a mixed landscape mosaic, provided natural areas and green spaces are available. If such spaces are somehow connected, they can provide opportunities for native species to inhabit and move through the metropolitan region (perhaps even better than the landscapes previously dominated by agriculture). Strategies for adapting regional agriculture and minimizing pest outbreaks also call for creative management intervention. With additional research, Chicago and its surrounding environs have an opportunity to provide leadership on effective management of natural resources under climate change. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

TLR activity is closely linked to the risk of many inflammatory diseases and immune disorders. Therefore, TLR signaling pathways can provide efficient therapeutic targets for chronic diseases. Sulfuraphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate, has been well known for its anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we investigated the modulation of TLR activity by SFN and the underlying mechanism. SFN suppressed ligand-induced and ligand-independent TLR4 activation because it prevented IL-1R-associated kinase-1 degradation, activation of NF-kappa B and IFN regulatory factor 3, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression induced by LPS or overexpression of TLR4. Receptor oligomerization, which is one of the initial and critical events of TLR4 activation, was suppressed by SFN, resulting in the downregulation of NF-kappa B activation. SFN formed adducts with cysteine residues in the extracellular domain of TLR4 as confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis and the inhibitory effects of SFN on oligomerization and NF-kappa B activation were reversed by thiol donors (DTT and N-acetyl-L-cysteine). These suggest that the reactivity of SFN to sulfhydryl moiety contributes to its inhibitory activities. Blockade of TLR4 signaling by SFN resulted in the reduced production of inflammatory cytokines and the decreased dermal inflammation and edema in vivo in experimental inflammatory. animal models. Collectively, our results demonstrated that SFN downregulated TLR4 signaling through the suppression of oligomerization process in a thiol-dependent manner. These present a novel mechanism for beneficial effects of SFN and a novel anti-inflammatory target in TLR4 signaling. The Journal of Immunology, 2010, 184: 411-419.

The cultures were tested singly and in different combinations in milk (0 or 2% fat content) during incubation at 40A degrees C for up to 10 h. Cell-free milk samples taken every 60 min were tested for bacteriocin activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Pediocin activity was not detectable when P. acidilactici was inoculated into milk as a monoculture. When P. acidilactici was grown in combination with the yogurt starter cultures S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, pediocin concentration reached 3,200-6,400 units ml(-1) after 8 h of incubation. The results showed that pediocin producing pediococci may be useful adjunct components in mixed cultures of S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus to amplify the bioprotective properties of fermented dairy foods against Listeria contamination.

TI The non-nutritional performance characteristics of peptones made from rendered protein SO JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Peptone; Industrial fermentation; Rendered protein; Hydrolysate; Meat and bone meal ID SCALE AB Economic considerations require the use of inexpensive feedstocks for the fermentative production of moderate-value products. Our previous work has shown that peptones capable of supporting the growth of various microorganisms can be produced from inexpensive animal proteins, including meat and bone meal, feather meal, and blood meal, through alkaline or enzymatic hydrolysis. In this work, we explore how these experimental peptones compare to commercial peptones in terms of performance characteristics other than chemical make-up; these characteristics can impact fermentation operating cost. It is shown that experimental peptone powders produced through enzymatic hydrolysis are highly hygroscopic and that their physical form is not stable to humid storage conditions; those produced through alkaline hydrolysis and commercial peptones are less hygroscopic. When used in growth medium, all peptones contribute haze to the solution; experiments show that the source of haze is different when using enzyme- versus alkali-hydrolyzed peptones. Alkali-hydrolyzed peptones and all peptones made from blood meal are stronger promoters of media foaming than the commercial peptones; some enzyme-hydrolyzed peptones support very little foam formation and are superior to the commercial peptones in this sense. Alkali-hydrolyzed peptones are roughly equivalent to commercial peptones in the coloration they contribute to media, while enzyme-hydrolyzed peptones contribute intense coloration to media. No peptone caused a significant change in the viscosity of media. The experimental peptones studied here may be acceptable low-cost substitutes for commercial peptones, but none is equivalent to the commercial products in all respects.

First, using an automated video-tracking system, aspects of O. nubilalis movement were quantified in the presence of artificial diet incorporating 50% non-Bt or insect-resistant Cry1Ab maize tissue. Second, O. nubilalis dispersal and survival were measured 48-72 h after hatching on a Cry1Ab maize plant surrounded by two non-Bt maize plants. Video tracking indicated the presence of Cry1Ab tissue increased the total distance moved (m), time moving (%), and time away from the diet (%) for O. nubilalis while decreasing meander (degrees/cm). However, resistant larvae showed reduced movement and increased meander (a parts per thousand localized searching) relative to susceptible or hybrid larvae on diet incorporating Cry1Ab tissue. Conversely, when placed onto Cry1Ab maize plants, resistant larvae were more likely than susceptible O. nubilalis to disperse onto adjacent non-Bt plants. The difference in on-plant dispersal seems to reflect greater survival after toxin exposure for resistant larvae rather than increased activity. These results suggest that simplified 'Petri dish' tests may not be predictive of larval movement among non-Bt and insect-resistant Bt maize plants. Because models of O. nubilalis resistance evolution incorporate various movement and survival parameters, improved data for on-plant behavior and survival of Bt- resistant , -susceptible, and hybrid larvae should help preserve the efficacy of transgenic insect-resistant maize.

TI Host Acceptance and Larval Competition in the Banded and European Elm Bark Beetles, Scolytus schevyrewi and S. multistriatus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae): Potential Mechanisms for Competitive Displacement between Invasive Species SO JOURNAL OF INSECT BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE Host acceptance; oviposition; resource acquisition; Scolytus multistriatus; Scolytus schevyrewi; Ulmus pumila ID MOUNTAIN PINE-BEETLE; INTRASPECIFIC COMPETITION; NORTH-AMERICA; BEHAVIOR; EMERGENCE; SIZE; TEMPERATURE; CALIFORNIA; SELECTION; SURVIVAL AB A recent survey revealed that the newly invasive banded elm bark beetle, Scolytus schevyrewi, was much more abundant than the long-established European elm bark beetle, S. multistriatus, in areas of Colorado and Wyoming, USA. This study was initiated to determine whether competitive displacement of S. multistriatus by S. schevyrewi might be mediated by a sequence of behavioral interactions between the species on and below the bark surface. At the first step in the sequence, host acceptance behavior (i.e., time to tunnel into the host) was monitored among female S. schevyrewi and S. multistriatus. There was no substantial difference in host acceptance behavior when females were offered small cut logs (bolts) of Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila, infested with con- or heterospecific females. At the second step, mating and oviposition usually follow after a female has excavated a gallery. Mean oviposition per parental female in 1 wk was not significantly different among treatments: S. schevyrewi at medium density of 2.86 parental females per dm(2), at high density of 5.71 per dm(2); S. multistriatus at medium density, at high density; and mixed species (i.e., S. schevyrewi and S. multistriatus combined, with each at medium density). At the third step, progeny production and progeny size were monitored among the same density treatments, but the number of parental beetles and size of bolts were doubled. Differences in progeny production would reflect larval competition, since the number of eggs initially laid was not different. Both S. schevyrewi and S. multistriatus were sensitive to intraspecific competition because size of progeny was smaller in high than medium density treatments, but total progeny production was similar at both densities. Scolytus schevyrewi was a stronger interspecific competitor than S. multistriatus. Smaller S. multistriatus progeny, and four-fold more S. schevyrewi progeny were produced when both species developed on the same host. The contributions of these proximal behavioral events toward the mechanism for competitive displacement are described in the context of the host colonization behavior of Scolytus spp. The competitive advantage of S. schevyrewi larvae established through this study, and the more rapid response of S. schevyrewi to elm hosts established through other investigations, may be the key mechanistic components that facilitate the displacement of S. multistriatus by S. schevyrewi.

To determine if the presence of larval tracks influences intraguild scavenging by H. axyridis 4th instars, dead 4th instars were placed in Petri dishes that contained or did not contain larval tracks. The presence of larval tracks did not influence the feeding frequency or the amount of time before feeding. However, larvae dragged their pygopod on dish surfaces more frequently if the dish contained larval tracks. In addition, starved H. axyridis larvae were more likely to feed on the prey and dragged their pygopod less frequently than well-fed larvae.

TI Reproduction of the western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus, in relation to age, gonadal activity and mating status SO JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Accessory glands; Courtship; Miridae; Ovary; Oviposition; Testis ID MACROLOPHUS-CALIGINOSUS; MIRIDAE; HETEROPTERA; KNIGHT; MATURATION; HEMIPTERA; INSECTS; BIOLOGY; DIET AB Understanding the basic life history and underlying regulatory mechanisms for a pest insect is essential for developing targeted control strategies, but for many insects relatively little is known. Although the western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus Knight (Heteroptera: Miridae) has a substantial negative impact in the western U.S., its basic biology is poorly characterized. To elucidate the regulation of L hesperus reproductive dynamics, the onset times of gonadal activation and mating behavior were examined in young adults. Newly emerged adults reared under laboratory conditions at 25 degrees C were monitored daily for changes in gamete production and willingness to mate. Males matured more quickly than females. Sperm was present at emergence and a small proportion of males were willing to mate as early as 2 days post-emergence. Females were unwilling to mate until at least 5 days post-emergence, although many produced choriogenic oocytes by 4 days. Males appeared to discriminate female age and were more likely to attempt mating with females >5 days post-emergence than with younger females. Males were also able to detect previous mating and attempted to mount virgins more often than recently inseminated females. Collectively these results indicate that the changes in the mating behaviors of L. hesperus are linked to reproductive status, although there is a lag between gamete production and willingness to mate. The results also suggest that interactions of the sexes are chemically mediated. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 USDA, Arid Land Agr Res Ctr, Maricopa, AZ 85238 USA.

TI Sterol limitation in a pollen-fed omnivorous lady beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) SO JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Coleomegilla maculata; Maize; Nutrition; Omnivory; Pollen; Predator ID COLEOMEGILLA-MACULATA COLEOPTERA; MEDITERRANEAN FLORAL NECTARS; TRANSGENIC CORN POLLEN; ILLINOIS CORNFIELD; PREDATORS; APHIDS; SUITABILITY; CONSUMPTION; DIGESTION; RESPONSES AB Nutritional constraints of non-prey foods for entomophagous arthropods are seldom investigated, yet are crucial to understanding their nutritional ecology and function within natural and managed environments. We investigated whether pollen from five maize hybrids was of variable quality for the lady beetle, Coleomegilla maculata, whether suitability of these pollens was related with their sterol profiles, and how augmenting sterols (beta-sitosterol, cholesterol, or ergosterol) affected the fitness and performance of C maculata. Preimaginal survival, development rates, the duration of the pre-oviposition period, post-mortem adult dry weight, adult hind tibial length, sex ratio, fecundity, cohort generation time (T(c)), net replacement rate (R(0)) and intrinsic rate of increase (tau) were measured. Individual sterols in the pollens were quantified using GC-MS. Pollens were of variable suitability for C maculata; the development rate was positively correlated with the amount of 24-methylene-cholesterol and r was positively correlated with episterol and 24-methylene-lophenol found in the pollens. Performance of C maculata was entirely unaffected by augmenting pollen meals with sterols. This research shows that pollens clearly vary in their sterol contents intraspecifically, which affects their suitability for omnivores that rely on pollen. However, sterols appear to be only one of the limiting nutrients in pollens. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Lundgren, Jonathan G.] USDA ARS, N Cent Agr Res Lab, Brookings, SD 57006 USA.

Although the mechanisms have only recently begun to be uncovered, transcriptional regulation appears increasingly central to the regulation of secondary growth. The importance of transcriptional regulation is illustrated by the correlation of expression of specific classes of genes with related biological processes occurring at specific stages of secondary growth, including cell division, cell expansion, and cell differentiation. At the same time, transcription factors have been characterized that affect specific aspects of secondary growth, including regulation of the cambium and differentiation of cambial daughter cells. In the present review, we summarize evidence pointing to transcription as a major mechanism for regulation of secondary growth, and outline future approaches for comprehensively describing transcriptional networks underlying secondary growth.

A real-time PCR assay was developed to facilitate detection and quantification of both Nosema apis and N. ceranae in both single bee and pooled samples. The assay is a multiplexed reaction in which both species are detected and quantified in a single reaction. The assay is highly sensitive and can detect single copies of the target sequence. Real-time PCR results were calibrated to spore Counts generated by standard microscopy procedures. The assay was used to assess bees from commercial apiaries sampled in November 2008 and March 2009. Bees from each colony were pooled. A large amount of variation among colonies was evident, signifying the need to examine large numbers of colonies, Due to sampling constraints, a Subset of colonies (from five apiaries) was sampled in both seasons. In November, N. apis levels were 1212 +/- 148 spores/bee and N. ceranae levels were 51,073 +/- 31,155 spores/bee. In March, no N. apis was detected, N. ceranae levels were 11,824 +/- 6304 spores/bee. Changes in N. ceranae levels were evident among apiaries, some increasing and other decreasing. This demonstrates the need for thorough sampling of apiaries and the need for a rapid test for both detection and quantification of both Nosema spp. This assay provides the opportunity for detailed Study of disease resistance, infection kinetics, and improvement of disease management practices for honey bees.

This disease is now found throughout the world, and there are indications that chalkbrood incidence may be on the rise. In this review we consolidate both historic knowledge and recent scientific findings. We document the worldwide spread of the fungus, which is aided by increased global travel and the migratory nature of many beekeeping operations. We discuss the current taxonomic classification in light of the recent complete reworking of fungal systematics brought on by application of molecular methods. In addition, we discuss epidemiology and pathogenesis of the disease, as well as pathogen biology, morphology and reproduction. New attempts at disease control methods and management tactics are reviewed. We report on research tools developed for identification and monitoring, and also include recent findings on genomic and molecular studies not covered by previous reviews, including sequencing of the A. apis genome and identification of the mating type locus.

In this review, we briefly introduce the many pathogens and parasites afflicting honey bees, highlighting the biology of specific taxonomic groups mainly as they relate to virulence and possible defenses. Second, we describe physiological, immunological, and behavioral responses of individual bees toward pathogens and parasites. Third, bees also show behavioral mechanisms for reducing the disease risk of their nestmates. Accordingly, we discuss the dynamics of hygienic behavior and other group-level behaviors that can limit disease. Finally, we conclude with several avenues of research that seem especially promising for understanding host-parasite relationships in bees and for developing breeding or management strategies for enhancing honey bee health. We discuss how human efforts to maintain healthy colonies intersect with similar efforts by the bees, and how bee management and breeding protocols can affect disease traits in the short and long term.

Data were obtained from 2003-2004 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and 2005 Korea NHANES for adolescents aged 12-19 yr in the US (n=734) and in Korea (n=664). The 2007 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) pediatric definition for diagnosis of MetS and the 2000 US Growth Charts and 2007 Korea Growth Charts for assessment of obesity were utilized. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in US and Koreans was 5.5% and 2.5%, respectively. The prevalence of obesity was 18.1% in US compared to 9.0% in Koreans. The prevalence of abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia were higher in the US, whereas that of low HDL-C levels was higher in Korea. Despite the doubled prevalence for the single entities of MetS and obesity in the US, the prevalence of MetS in obese US and Koreans did not differ (20.8% and 24.3%, respectively). In conclusion, there are differences in the prevalence of MetS, obesity, and the individual MetS risk factors between the US and Korean adolescents; however, the risk of MetS among obese adolescents is similar in both countries.

Generally, concentrations of both pollutants were elevated and highly variable in space and lime. The highest atmospheric concentrations occurred in the vicinity oldie major mining and oil extraction activities of Fort Murray. and Fort McKay. Maximum monthly average concentrations of HNO(3) decreased from >6 mu g m(-3) and 2006 to <4 mu g m(-3) in 2007 and 2008. While the HNO(3) summer seasonal averages in 2005 and 2006 approached similar to 2 mu g m(-3) at some sites, in the subsequent summers and during winter seasons it rarely exceeded 1 mu g m(-3) and no clear dilkrences between summer and winter occurred. Concentrations of NH(3) were elevated during the entire study and frequently reached 6 mu g m(-3). Generally. NH(3) stayed higher in summer than in winter; the summer seasonal averages often exceeded 4 mu g m(-3) while those for winter only on two occasions were above 3 mu g m(-3). In summer 2008, an expansion of the area with elevated NH(3) levels way observed extending to remote locations. Ammonia is of a much higher concern from a perspective of possible biological effects, because of its potential for direct toxic effect on lichens and its contribution to the elevated N dry deposition possible negative consequences for forests and other ecosystems.

With the aim of characterizing possible regulators of lipid metabolism, we studied the effects of nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) during postprandial lipid metabolism. Eighty-eight healthy young men were genotyped for APOA1-2630 (rs613808), APOA1 -2803 (rs2727784), APOA1 -3012 (rs11216158), APOC3 -640 (rs2542052), APOC3 -2886 (rs2542051), APOC3 G34G (rs4520), APOA4 N147S (rs5104), APOA4 T29T (rs5092), and A4A5_inter (rs1263177) and were fed a saturated fatty acid-rich meal (1g fat/kg of weight with 60% fat, 15% protein and 25% carbohydrate). Serial blood samples were extracted for 11 h after the meal. Total cholesterol and fractions [HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols (TGs) in plasma, TG-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) (large TRLs and small TRLs), apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein B] were determined. APOA1 -2803 homozygotes for the minor allele and A4A5_inter carriers showed a limited degree of postprandial lipemia. Carriers of the rare alleles of APOA4 N147S and APOA4 T29T had lower APOA1 plasma concentration during this state. APOC3 -640 was associated with altered TG kinetics but not its magnitude. We have identified new associations between SNPs in the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster and altered postprandial lipid metabolism.-Delgado-Lista, J., F. Perez-Jimenez, J. Ruano, P. Perez-Martinez, F.

Statin therapy targets the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis and is efficacious in lowering CHD events and mortality. Nonetheless, CHD events still occur in some treated patients. To address differences in outcome during pravastatin therapy (40 mg/day), plasma markers of cholesterol synthesis (desmosterol, lathosterol) and fractional cholesterol absorption (campesterol, sitosterol) were measured, baseline and on treatment, in the Prospective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk trial participants with (cases, n = 223) and without (controls, n = 257) a CHD event. Pravastatin therapy decreased plasma LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL-cholesterol concentrations to a similar extent in cases and controls. Decreased concentrations of the cholesterol synthesis markers desmosterol (-12% and -11%) and lathosterol (-50% and -56%) and increased concentrations of the cholesterol absorption markers campesterol (48% and 51%) and sitosterol (25% and 26%) were observed on treatment, but the magnitude of change was similar between cases and controls. These data suggest that decreases in cholesterol synthesis in response to pravastatin treatment were accompanied by modest compensatory increases in fractional cholesterol absorption. The magnitude of these alterations were similar between cases and controls and do not explain differences in outcomes with pravastatin treatment.-N. R. Matthan, N. Resteghini, M. Robertson, I.

Results of measurements of attenuation, phase shift and dielectric constant and loss factor at 9 GHz show no difference between the samples with "natural" water and those in which water was added artificially. Bulk densities and moisture contents predicted from calibration equations expressed in terms of dielectric properties of both natural and added water samples agreed closely, and standard errors were less than 1% for moisture content and relative error for bulk density was less than 5%.

The ability of species from this genus (Moniliophthora) to cause disease is exceptional in the family Marasmiaceae. Species in closely related genera including, Marasmius, Crinipellis, and Chaetocalathus, are mainly saprotrophs and are not known to cause disease. In this study, the possibility that this phytopathogenic lifestyle has been acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) was investigated. A stringent genome comparison pipeline was used to identify potential genes that have been obtained by Moniliophthora through HGT. This search led to the identification of three genes: a metallo-dependent hydrolase (MDH), a mannitol phosphate dehydrogenase (MPDH), and a family of necrosis-inducing proteins (NEPs). Phylogenetic analysis of these genes suggests that Moniliophthora acquired NEPs from oomycetes, MDH from actinobacteria and MPDH from firmicutes. Based on the known gene functions and on previous studies of M. perniciosa infection and development, a correlation between gene acquisition and the evolution of the phytopathogenic genus Moniliophthora can be postulated.

Thibodeaux, Devron TI Assessment of recovered cotton fibre and trash contents in lint cotton waste by ultraviolet/visible/near infrared reflectance spectroscopy SO JOURNAL OF NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY LA English DT Article DE near infrared spectroscopy; UV/visible spectroscopy; cotton fibre; cotton trash; Shirley Analyzer ID FOREIGN MATTER; FINENESS; SURFACE AB Lint cleaning at cotton processing facilities is performed in order to reduce the non-lint materials to the lowest level with minimal fibre damage. The resultant waste contains some degree of cotton fibre having equal quality to the fibre in the bale and, hence, is of great concern for operating cost and profit. Traditional methods for measuring the non-lint material, or trash, in the cotton industry, including the Shirley Analyzer and high volume instrumentation, are labour intensive and time consuming. Ultraviolet (UV)/visible/near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, a rapid and easy sampling technique, was examined for its feasibility in determining the relative proportions of recovered cotton fibre and trash in lint cotton waste. Cotton waste was scanned in the region of 220-2500 nm and the reference value was measured by a Shirley Analyzer. Partial Least squares regression models were developed in various spectral ranges and then compared. Although there were obvious spectral differences in the visible and NIR regions between trash and cotton fibre, the model performance from a narrow NIR region of 900-1700nm was nearly equivalent to that from the full 226-2496 nm spectral region. Meanwhile, simple two-band difference algorithms utilising two unique bands were developed and also suggested the effectiveness of two NIR bands, at 900 nm and 1135nm, in the assessment of fibre and trash components in cotton waste. Furthermore, considering the different sampling species between the reference and spectral measurements, a 90% confidence interval was applied to remove outlier samples from the calibration and validation sets. The recalibrated models revealed the feasibility of the NIR technique for the determination of visible trash and recovered cotton fibre content in lint cotton waste.

In the present study, 20 longleaf pine trees were sampled at two positions (breast and mid-height) for calorimetric and spectroscopic analyses. The GCVs, which ranged from 20MJkg(-1) to 24MJkg(-1), showed a strong correlation with the wide-ranging values of acetone-soluble extractives content. After extraction of the samples with acetone, the range for the GCV was both lower and slightly narrower (19-21MJkg(-1)) and was poorly correlated to lignin content with its narrow range of values. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analysis was applied to the samples and provided a strong coefficient of determination (R(2)) between the values predicted by NIR and those determined by calorimetry for the unextracted, but not the extracted, samples. Plotting the regression coefficients validated the results by showing very similar plots for GCV and extractives content, thereby indicating that the same molecular features are driving the models. NIR spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analysis can predict GCV for bioenergy feedstocks and also provide insight into chemical features with the greatest impact on fuel value.

However, the implications of these findings are unclear. The measurement of PLP and C-reactive protein (CRP) in blood samples collected from participants in the 2003-2004 NHANES afforded us the opportunity to investigate this relationship in the general U.S. population. Dietary and laboratory data were available for 3864 of 5041 interviewed adults, 2686 of whom were eligible (i.e. provided reliable dietary data and were not diabetic, pregnant, lactating, or taking hormones or steroidal antiinflammatory drugs). Vitamin B-6 intake was assessed using 2 24-h diet recalls and supplement use data. After multivariate adjustment for demographics, smoking, BMI, alcohol use, antioxidant vitamin status, intakes of protein and energy, and serum concentrations of creatinine and albumin, high vitamin B-6 intake was associated with protection against serum CRIP concentrations > 10 mg/L compared with <= 3 mg/L. However, plasma PLP >= 20 nmol/L compared with <20 nmol/L was inversely related to serum CRP independently of vitamin B-6 intake (P < 0.001). Among participants with vitamin B-6 intakes from 2 to 3 mg/d, the multivariate-adjusted prevalence of vitamin B-6 inadequacy was <10% in participants with serum CRP <= 3 mg/L but close to 50% in those with serum CRP > 10 mg/L (P < 0.001). In conclusion, higher vitamin B-6 intakes were linked to protection against inflammation and the vitamin B-6 intake associated with maximum protection against vitamin B-6 inadequacy was increased in the presence compared to absence of inflammation.

If intake data are available on a per-day basis, as with 24-h dietary recalls, those ratios can be determined in 1 of 2 ways: as the usual ratio of intakes or the ratio of usual intakes. Each of these ratios has its own meaning and determination; the ratio of usual intakes is conceptually consistent with determinations obtained from FFQ data. We present a method for estimating the ratio of usual intakes that uses bivariate modeling of the 2 nutrient intakes in question. Application of the method to the NHANES data for the years 2001-2004 yielded estimated distributions for percent of usual energy intake from total fat, percent of usual energy intake from saturated fat, and usual sodium intake per 1000 kcal (4184 kJ) of usual energy intake. Distributions for both the total population and for age-gender subgroups were estimated. Approximately 60% of adults (>19 y) had a usual total fat intake that was within the recommended range of 20-35% of total energy, but only similar to 34% had a usual saturated fat intake <10% of total energy. The results changed only minimally when the other definition of usual intake, the usual ratio of intakes, was adopted. J. Nutr. 140: 111-116, 2010.

TI Nanotechnology Research: Applications in Nutritional Sciences SO JOURNAL OF NUTRITION LA English DT Article ID FOOD; CELLS AB The tantalizing potential of nanotechnology is to fabricate and combine nanoscale approaches and building blocks to make useful tools and, ultimately, interventions for medical science, including nutritional science, at the scale of similar to 1-100 nm. In the past few years, tools and techniques that facilitate studies and interventions in the nanoscale range have become widely available and have drawn widespread attention. Recently, investigators in the food and nutrition sciences have been applying the tools of nanotechnology in their research. The Experimental Biology 2009 symposium entitled "Nanotechnology Research: Applications in Nutritional Sciences" was organized to highlight emerging applications of nanotechnology to the food and nutrition sciences, as well as to suggest ways for further integration of these emerging technologies into nutrition research. Speakers focused on topics that included the problems and possibilities of introducing nanoparticles in clinical or nutrition settings, nanotechnology applications for increasing bioavailability of bioactive food components in new food products, nanotechnology opportunities in food science, as well as emerging safety and regulatory issues in this area, and the basic research applications such as the use of quantum dots to visualize cellular processes and protein-protein interactions. The session highlighted several emerging areas of potential utility in nutrition research. Nutrition scientists are encouraged to leverage ongoing efforts in nanomedicine through collaborations. These efforts could facilitate exploration of previously inaccessible cellular compartments and intracellular pathways and thus uncover strategies for new prevention and therapeutic modalities. J.

The authors evaluated a cohort of infants at a large center to determine the outcome of PN-associated cholestasis in infants with some gastrointestinal function. Methods: The authors reviewed the records of all infants admitted to a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit over a 16-month period who had the diagnosis of PN-associated cholestasis. Records were reviewed in these infants for course of cholestasis, laboratory values, outcome, and infection rate. Results: Sixty-six patients were admitted who met the study criteria. There were 10 deaths and 1 referral for liver transplant (Death/TPlant) (17%) in the first year of life. All Death/TPlant infants had at least 1 positive blood culture after the onset of cholestasis. Maximum conjugated bilirubin (MaxCB) in Death/TPlant infants was 15.7 +/- 2.2 (SEM) compared to 8.4 +/- 1.0 mg/dL in babies who recovered. Of 21 infants with a MaxCB >= 10.0, Death/TPlant occurred in 8/21 (38%). Of 40 babies with positive blood cultures, 11 were in the Death/TPlant group vs no deaths among the 25 without positive blood cultures. Average time to resolution from the MaxCB to a CB <2.0 mg/dL was 66 +/- 7 days (n = 49). Conclusions: Infants with PN-associated cholestasis have high rates of mortality despite the presence of some gastrointestinal function. These data support further evaluation and the development of novel forms of therapy for babies with parenteral-associated CB >= 2 mg/dL with emphasis on interventions for infants with a CB >10 mg/dL.

However, recent evidence suggests that vitamin D may be important for a variety of nonskeletal outcomes. The review synthesizes the available evidence for the role of vitamin D in skeletal health as well as its novel roles in medical conditions such as muscle function, falls, immunity, glucose homeostasis, and cardiovascular diseases. The article reviews methods for assessing vitamin D status and suggests strategies to restore vitamin D status in patients requiring enteral or parenteral nutrition who are at particularly high risk of hypovitaminosis D. Screening for hypovitaminosis D with plasma total 25-hydroxyvitamin D should be a routine part of the care of the patient requiring enteral or parenteral nutrition. Restoration of optimal vitamin D status with high-dose supplemental vitamin D is required in most cases, whereas exposure to sunlight or an ultraviolet B radiation-emitting device is most effective in patients with severe malabsorption or those requiring long-term parenteral therapy. Given the emerging role of vitamin D for a variety of acute and chronic conditions, the optimal vitamin D status in acutely ill patients as well as in patients requiring long-term nutrition therapy warrants further investigation.

TI Glyceollin I, a Novel Antiestrogenic Phytoalexin Isolated from Activated Soy SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID BREAST-CANCER; ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS; PHYTO-ESTROGENS; CELL-CULTURES; PHYTOESTROGENS; INDUCTION; ESTRADIOL; OVARIAN; ASSAYS; ALPHA AB Glyceollins, a group of novel phytoalexins isolated from activated soy, have recently been demonstrated to be novel antiestrogens that bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) and inhibit estrogen-induced tumor progression. Our previous publications have focused specifically on inhibition of tumor formation and growth by the glyceollin mixture, which contains three glyceollin isomers (I, II, and III). Here, we show the glyceollin mixture is also effective as a potential antiestrogenic, therapeutic agent that prevents estrogen-stimulated tumorigenesis and displays a differential pattern of gene expression from tamoxifen. By isolating the individual glyceollin isomers (I, II, and III), we have identified the active antiestrogenic component by using competition binding assays with human ER alpha and in an estrogen-responsive element-based luciferase reporter assay. We identified glyceollin I as the active component of the combined glyceollin mixture. Ligand-receptor modeling (docking) of glyceollin I, II, and III within the ER alpha ligand binding cavity demonstrates a unique type II antiestrogenic confirmation adopted by glyceollin I but not isomers II and III. We further compared the effects of glyceollin I to the antiestrogens, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and ICI 182,780 (fulvestrant), in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and BG-1 ovarian cancer cells on 17 beta-estradiol-stimulated expression of progesterone receptor and stromal derived factor-1 alpha. Our results establish a novel inhibition of ER-mediated gene expression and cell proliferation/survival. Glyceollin I may represent an important component of a phytoalexin-enriched food (activated) diet in terms of chemo-prevention as well as a novel therapeutic agent for hormone-dependent tumors.

Knowledge of X. fastidiosa behaviour in the plant host under field conditions is important for disease control and this issue is being addressed in this project. Occurrence of ALSD is strongly influenced by environmental factors. In 2006, the earliest leaf scorching symptoms were observed in June, whereas in 2007, the earliest occurrence of leaf scorching symptoms was in July, a delay of 1 month. In both years, PCR detected X. fastidiosa 1 month before of symptom expression. PCR was slightly more sensitive than cultivation method for early bacterial detection. However, uneven bacterial distribution and random sampling errors may have contributed to the differences among the assays. Correlation between cultivation and PCR detection was greater than 90%. During the processing of a large number of samples, we noticed occasional failures in PCR amplifications of some samples, interfering result interpretation. We developed an array-PCR protocol using primers from seven housekeeping genes to correct the deficiency. C1 [Livingston, Sam] Univ Calif Davis, Dept Plant Pathol, Davis, CA 95616 USA.

This can be especially problematic in the case of powdery mildews, such as Erysiphe necator (syn. Uncinula necator), which grow superficially but tightly adhere to the plant epidermis. We developed and refined a simple and efficient technique in which nail polish was used to remove conidia, appressoria, hyphae, conidiophores, and developing ascocarps of E. necator from grapevine (Vitis vinifera) leaves and showed that RNA isolated after removal was not contaminated with V. vinifera RNA. This approach can be applied to expression analyses throughout fungal development and could be extended to other epiphytic pathogens and saprophytes.

The storage proteins, beta-conglycinin and glycinin were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), and two major storage proteins and their subunits were characterized using mass spectrometry. The three isoflavones, aglycon and the nine conjugated forms were separated by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and identified by comparison of retention time, ultraviolet and mass spectral analyses. Comparison between the number of 2D-PAGE protein spots of the storage protein subunits and HPLC area of twelve isoflavones was also evaluated. The analysis of proteins and isoflavones from the wild genotype and the three cultivated genotypes suggested possible interactions between proteins and isoflavones. The same wild genotype, which showed significant statistical differences in beta-conglycinin and glycinin protein profiles also revealed considerable reduction in total isoflavones (> 55%) content.

The objective of this study was to assess the ameliorative effect of Mg additions on soybean root elongation into mineralogically different acid soils. Roots of soybean seedlings grew for 28 days into acid soils treated with three Mg levels in their soil solution (Control, 150 and 300 M) and lime. Root growth in the acid soils and aboveground dry matter responses to the Mg treatments were less than for the lime treatments. Citrate fate in the acid soils revealed that 66-99% of added citrate was either adsorbed or biodegraded, suggesting that root secreting citrate in the soil abundant with Al and iron (Fe) hydroxides potentially reduces the availability to complex rhizotoxic Al. A calcium (Ca) deficiency may have constrained root growth response to the Mg-treated soils. C1 [Smyth, T.

Compared with untreated controls, the plant protectant, -[(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethoxy) imino] benzene acetonitcile [Hytech Polymer, (formerly ProTecTM), Agro-K, Corp., Minneapolis, MN, USA] applied in September at 5 or 10% induced more cold hardiness in late October and November, whereas treating at 0.05% with the bioregulator, 2-chloroethyl-methyl-bis(phenylmethoxy)silane [CGA-15281, Novartis International AG, (formerly Ciba-Geigy Limited) Basel, Switzerland], induced greater cold hardiness and higher woody tissue calcium concentration in November and December. Applied in October, CGA-15281 resulted in woody tissue with the highest cold hardiness rating from November through March. From October 28 through 8 December, tissue from control trees had the lowest calcium concentration and frequently the least amount of cold hardiness. In woody stems of young apple trees, cold hardiness was more closely related to calcium concentration than that of the other eleven measured mineral elements; this was especially apparent from November to March (r = -0.856).

In this study, we investigate whether a phosphorus (P) deficiency can cause SPD, and whether the effect is related to inhibition of ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) uptake and a corresponding shift in the cation to anion uptake balance. Geraniums (Pelargonium x hortorum Bailey 'Designer Dark Red') were grown in hydroponic solutions with or without P, and the hydroponics systems were located in a growth chamber programmed for light/dark temperatures of 22/18 or 26/22 degrees C. Acidification potential was measured by the amount of base required to maintain pH at 5.8. The results indicated that much greater amounts of base were required to maintain a stable pH with P-limited plants. Using periodic exposures to 15NH4+ or 15NO3-, it was found that NO3- uptake was strongly inhibited as plants became P stressed. Tissue nutrient profiles showed that the NO3- uptake inhibition was accompanied by an increase in the cation to anion uptake ratio. Rhizosphere acidification was greater at higher temperature even though the cation and anion responses were unchanged in control plants, suggesting the involvement of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by root respiration. The results indicate that changes in cation and anion uptake and the associated increase in net H+ extrusion that occur under P-stress conditions can contribute to SPD in geranium culture systems.

Large portions of variation in nutrient densities and C:N ratio of leaves at the boot stage and of kernels and groats at harvest were negatively impacted by the 2- and 3-way interactions of leaves, kernels, and groats with the biotic stress treatments and years. The C:N ratios, but not nutrient densities, were always smaller in groats than in kernels, and during the stress than the no-stress year. Temporal variation accounted for a small variance associated with nutrients in leaves; whereas, stress treatments accounted for the largest variances associated with nutrients in kernels and groats. These indirect relationships among plant architecture components, dT, nutrient densities and C:N ratios, illustrate the complex interactions of biotic and abiotic stresses and their impact on grain yield and its components in oat.

Merr.] continues to increase annually; however, there are no particular specific fertilizer recommendations for the transgenic varieties used in this system largely because reports of glyphosate effects on mineral nutrition of GR soybeans are lacking. Several metabolites or degradation products of glyphosate have been identified or postulated to cause undesirable effects on GR soybeans. In this work we used increasing glyphosate rates in different application on cv. 'BRS 242 GR' in order to evaluate photosynthetic parameters, macro- and micronutrient uptake and accumulation and shoot and root dry biomass production. Increasing glyphosate rates revealed a significant decrease in photosynthesis, macro and micronutrients accumulation in leaf tissues and also decreases in nutrient uptake. The reduced biomass in GR soybeans represents additive effects from the decreased photosynthetic parameters as well as lower availability of nutrients in tissues of the glyphosate treated plants.

In 2003 and 2004, chickpea 'Jubiha-2' seeds were planted in late December (winter-sown) and early March (spring-sown). For both planting dates, pods were harvested at five maturity stages: 1) beginning of seed fill (BS), 2) full-size seed (FS), 3) greenish-yellow pod (GY), 4) yellow pod (Y), and 5) brown pod (B). The concentrations of nitrogen (N), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and zinc (Zn) on a dry weight basis significantly decreased as the seeds developed from the BS to the FS stage, then did not change significantly at the Y and B stages. Nutrient content (mg seed-1) increased as the seed dry weight increased. Seeds from spring-sown plants had higher concentrations of N and manganese (Mn) than winter-sown plants. The maximum mineral content of chickpea was achieved at seed physiological maturity. C1 [Samarah, Nezar H.; Abu-Yahya, Anas E.] Jordan Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Crop Prod, Irbid 22110, Jordan.

In this tropical region beans are grown on Oxisols and phosphorus (P) is one of the most yield limiting factors for dry bean production on these soils. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate P use efficiency in 20 elite dry bean genotypes grown at deficient (25 mg P kg-1 soil) and sufficient (200 mg P kg-1) levels of soil P. Grain yields and yield components were significantly increased with P fertilization and, interspecific genotype differences were observed for yield and yield components. The grain yield efficiency index (GYEI) was having highly significant quadratic association with grain yield. Based on GYEI most P use efficient genotypes were CNFP 8000, CNFP 10035, CNFP10104, CNFC 10410, CNFC 9461, CNFC 10467, CNFP 10109 and CNFP 10076 and most inefficient genotypes were CNFC 10438, CNFP 10120, CNFP 10103, and CNFC 10444. Shoot dry weight, number of pods per plant, 100-grain weights and number of seeds per pod was having significant positive association with grain yield. Hence, grain yield of dry bean can be improved with the improvement of these plant traits by adopting appropriate management practices. Soil pH, extractable P and calcium (Ca) saturation were significantly influenced by P treatments.

ZmPR10.1 shares 89.8% and 85.7% identity to ZmPR10 at the nucleotide and amino acid sequence level, respectively. ZmPR10 and ZmPR10.1 were mainly expressed in root tissue with low expression in other tissues. ZmPR10.1 had significantly lower expression than ZmPR10 in all tissues examined. The expression of both ZmPR10 and ZmPR10.1 was induced by most abiotic stresses including SA, CuCl2, H2O2, coldness, darkness and wounding during the 16-h treatments, and biotic stresses such as Erwinia stewartii and Aspergillus flavus infection. However, ZmPR10.1 was induced only 2 HAT and down-regulated thereafter, whereas ZmPR10 remained induced during the 16-h NAA treatment. Also, inoculation with Erwinia chrysanthemi caused about 2-fold induction in ZmPR10.1 expression 60 HAT but not significant changes for ZmPR10. Both ZmPR10.1 and ZmPR10 showed RNase activity in vitro with an optimal pH and temperature of 6.5 and 55 degrees C. Their RNase activities were significantly inhibited by low concentrations (1.0 MM) Of Cu2+, Ag+, Co2+, SDS, EDTA or DTT. However, ZmPR10.1 possessed significantly higher (8-fold) specific RNase activity than ZmPR10. Also, ZmPR10.1 showed a stronger inhibition against bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 in vivo and fungus A. flavus in vitro than ZmPR10, indicating that ZmPR10.1 may also play an important role in host plant defense.

MOENCH; INDUCTION AB Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) crop yield is significantly compromised by high temperature stress-induced male sterility, and is attributed to reduced cell wall invertase (CWI)-mediated sucrose hydrolysis in microspores and anthers leading to altered carbohydrate metabolism and starch deficiency in pollen Gain et al., 2007). Sorghum plants were grown under season-long ambient (30/20 degrees C day-time maximum/night-time minimum) or high temperature stress (HS, 36/26 degrees C) environments, or reciprocally transferred for 5-10 days between either temperature regimens through panicle and microspore developmental stages. Quantitative RT-PCR analyses for CWI gene SbIncw1, plasma membrane H(+) -ATPase (Mha1) and sugar transporter proteins (OsSUT3 and OsMST7 homologs in sorghum), starch deficiency and pollen sterility data are presented to confirm HS-sensitivity of pre- and post-meiotic stages of sorghum microsporogenesis. Heat stress-induced reduction in Incw transcriptional activity during microspore meiosis was irreversible despite return of optimal growth temperature conditions through further reproductive development.

Tall fescue can harbor the obligate endophyte, Neotyphodium coenophialum that is asexually propagated and transmitted via host seeds. Total RNA was isolated from pseudostems of known endophyte-infected (E+) and endophytefree (E-) plants and tested in triplicate on the Affymetrix Wheat Genome Array GeneChip (R) and Barley1 Genome Array GeneChip. Overall 14-15% and 17-18% of the probe sets were called present on the wheat and barley chips, respectively. In order to identify genes that were specifically differentially expressed between the E+ and E- tall fescue, a combination of both barley and wheat target sequences that were differentially expressed (greater than twofold) that were similar on both chips on both barley and wheat arrays yielded 32 probe set (genes) that were differentially expressed. Tall fescue ESTs were identified for a number of the probe sets that were differentially expressed on the barley and wheat arrays. PCR primers were designed to fescue ESTs and tested to verify the expression profile observed in the microarray experiments. Some primers confirmed the expected results, although in other cases no differences were observed between the E+ and E- plants, or the results were contrary to what was expected. Our results suggest that while some differentially expressed genes were identified by this method, the cross-species hybridization appears to have significant limitations for the transcriptome analysis of tall fescue.

TI Registration of 'Badillo' Light Red Kidney Bean SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article ID COMMON BACTERIAL-BLIGHT; MOSAIC-VIRUS; I-GENE; RESISTANCE; MARKER; INHERITANCE; QTL AB Common bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Smith 1897) Vauterin et al. 1995, and Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) pose a threat to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production throughout the world. 'Badillo' (Reg. No. CV-294, PI 658490), a multiple disease resistant light red kidney bean cultivar adapted to the humid tropics, was developed and released in 2009 cooperatively by the University of Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA-ARS. Badillo carries the resistant allele at the I locus conferring resistance to BCMV and has resistance to CBB carrying the SAP6 SCAR marker linked to a quantitative trait locus for CBB resistance. In field trials conducted in Puerto Rico, Badillo did not show symptoms to endemic races of rust caused by Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Unger. In five field trials conducted in Puerto Rico, Badillo produced a mean seed yield of 2392 kg ha(-1), whereas local check varieties had mean seed yields <2000 kg ha(-1). The disease resistance of Badillo should improve yield and seed quality of light red kidney beans produced in the Caribbean. Badillo represents the first release of a light red kidney bean cultivar with enhanced levels of resistance to common bacterial blight. C1 [Beaver, J.

TI Registration of 'UF Tito' and 'UF Peace' Rhizoma Peanut Cultivars with High Dry Matter Yields, Persistence, and Disease Tolerance SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article ID ESTABLISHMENT; GERMPLASM AB 'UF Tito' (Reg. No. CV-107, PI 262826) and 'UF Peace' (Reg. No. CV-108, PI 658214) rhizoma perennial peanut (RP; Arachis glabrata Benth.) cultivars were released by the University of Florida in 2008. After introduction into the United States in 1936 from Brazil, evaluations showed RP to be well adapted to the U.S. Gulf Coastal Plains region. UF Tito originated from Paraguay and was collected in 1959. This plant introduction resembles the plant type of 'Florigraze'. It was identified as having high dry matter yields, highest percent pure peanut, and greatest vigor based on the amount of spread in a 10-yr evaluation experiment. In subsequent multilocation experiments over a 5-yr period, yields were generally equal to or higher than Florigraze. UF Peace was received in Florida in 1986 from Charles Simpson at the Texas AgriLife Research Center at Stephenville, TX, as collection no. P-2352. The ID numbers when the material was received trace it to PI 262839, an introduction subsequently released as the germplasm Arblick. Amplified fragment length polymorphism evaluation indicates that the molecular profile of this line is different from Arblick and all other known A. glabrata germplasm. It resembles the plant type of Florigraze, and its dry matter yields and competitiveness with weedy bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pars.] are comparable. UF Peace appears to have better adaptability to the upper Coastal Plains. Both cultivars show improved field tolerance to peanut stunt virus compared with Florigraze.

TI Registration of 'Brick' Wheat SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article ID FUSARIUM-HEAD-BLIGHT; RESISTANCE; FHB1; QTL AB Fusarium head blight (FHB) [caused by Fusarium gramineanum Schwabe; telomorph Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch], is a major constraint to spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The objective of this research was to release a hard red spring wheat (HRSW) cultivar with enhanced FHB resistance. 'Brick'(Reg. No. 1043, PI 657697) HRSW was developed at South Dakota State University (SDSU) and released by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station to Registered seed producers in March 2009. The cross ND2897/SD3219//SD3414 was created in spring 2000. ND2897 is an unreleased experimental line developed by the North Dakota State University HRSW breeding program, and SD3219 and SD3414 are both unreleased experimental lines developed by the SDSU-HRSW breeding program. The population was advanced via an early-generation bulk-testing program where F,,, seed was included in the 2004 preliminary yield trial, and the line was designated SD3851. SD3851 also was tested in the advanced yield trial from 2005 through 2008. Brick was released for its high level of resistance to FHB when compared to other HRSW cultivars developed by the SDSU-HRSW breeding program as well as its high yield potential and grain volume weight in South Dakota and the northern Great Plains. Additionally, Brick is moderately resistant to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks.) and has an early heading date compared with HRSW cultivars currently in production. C1 [Glover, K.

No. CV-1041, PI 653731) soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in March 2007. Jamestown was derived from the cross 'Roane'/Pioneer Brand '2691' and was tested under the experimental number VA02W-370. Jamestown is an early heading, awned, short-stature, semidwarf (Rht2) cultivar possessing resistance to the predominant insect and disease pests in the eastern soft wheat region. Jamestown most notably has resistance to Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)], stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend.), and Fusarium head blight [caused by Fusarium graminearum (Schwabe)]. In USDA-ARS Uniform Southern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery Trials conducted at 27 locations in 2005 and at 26 locations in 2006, Jamestown produced average grain yields of 5496 and 5563 kg ha(-1), respectively, compared with nursery mean yields of 4959 kg ha(-1) in 2005 and 4878 kg ha(-1) in 2006. Milling and baking quality of Jamestown exceeds that of 'USG 3209'. On an Allis Chalmers Mill, Jamestown has higher break flour yield (305 vs. 283 g kg(-1)), softer flour texture (softness equivalent score 57.4 vs. 54.1 g 100 g(-1)), lower sucrose solvent retention capacity (93.8 vs. 104 g 100 g(-1)), and larger cookie diameters (17.0 vs. 16.8 cm).

No. CV-1039, PI 656753) soft red winter (SRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), developed and tested as VA03W-409 by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, was released in March 2008. Shirley was derived from the three-way cross VA94-52-25/'Coker 9835//VA96-54-234. Shirley is widely adapted and provides producers and end users with a full-season, short-stature, semidwarf (Rht1) cultivar that has very high yield potential and good milling and pastry baking qualities. Shirley also is notably resistant to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.), stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.), and powdery mildew [Blumeria graminis (DC.) E.O. Speer]. In Virginia Shirley had the highest 3-yr (2006-2008) average grain yield (6316 kg ha(-1)) among cultivars evaluated in the state variety trial. In USDA-ARS Uniform Eastern SRW Wheat Nursery Trials conducted at 29 locations in 2006 and at 22 locations in 2007, Shirley ranked first in grain yield in both years with mean yields of 6155 and 5456 kg ha(-1), respectively. Shirley has soft grain texture, low endosperm separation indices (score = 89), high break flour (323-328 g kg(-1)), and high straight grade (777-779 g kg(-1)) flour yields on an Allis mill. Flour protein concentration (7.62-8.65 g 100 g(-1)) and gluten strength (84.6-93.6 g 100 g(-1)) of Shirley are lower than average. These quality attributes combined with low flour sucrose solvent retention capacity (87.6-90.8 g 100 g(-1)) contribute to Shirley's good pastry baking quality (cookie spread diameters of 17.15-18.65 cm).

TI Registration of '3434' Wheat SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article AB Soft red winter (SRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar 3434 (Reg. No. CV-1040, PI 656754) developed and tested as VA03W-434 by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station was released in March 2008. Cultivar 3434 was derived from the three-way cross 'Roane/'Coker 9835'//VA96W-270. Cultivar 3434 is widely adapted and provides producers and end users with a very short stature, stiff-straw, full-season cultivar that is resistant to powdery mildew [caused by Blumeria graminis (DC.) E.O. Speer], and has high yield potential, good winter hardiness, and good milling and baking quality. In Virginia's official variety trial, cultivar 3434 had an average grain yield (2006-2008) of 5981 kg ha(-1), which was surpassed only by'USG 3665' (6181 kg ha(-1)). In 2007 USDA-ARS uniform southern (39 entries, 19 environments) and uniform eastern (44 entries, 22 environments) SRW wheat nursery trials, cultivar 3434 produced average grain yields of 4455 and 4844 kg ha(-1), respectively, compared with nursery mean yields of 4146 and 4791 kg ha(-1), respectively. When evaluated for quality on an Allis Chalmers Mill, cultivar 3434 had moderately high break flour (314-327 g kg(-1)) and straight grade flour (757-762 g kg(-1)) yields, and softness equivalent values (70.8-88.0 g 100 g(-1)). Flour protein concentration of cultivar 3434 is moderately low (7.57-9.46 g 100 g(-1)), and gluten strength (104-110 g 100 g(-1)) is intermediate. These quality attributes of cultivar 3434 combined with low flour sucrose solvent retention capacity (85.8-88.5 g 100 g(-1)) contribute to its good pastry baking quality (cookie spread diameters of 17.08-18.81 cm).

TI Registration of LG04-6863 Soybean Germplasm Line with Diverse Pedigree SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article AB Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm line LG04-6863 (Reg. No. GP-364, PI 658307) was developed and released by the University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, Delta Center, Portageville, MO, the USDA-ARS, and the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, Urbana, IL. It was approved for release May 2009. LG04-6863 is an F, plant selection composited in the F(6) generation from 'Rend' x LG97-9486. It has shown high yield potential in tests across the southern United States with 38% of its pedigree from plant introductions and unique diversity not known in soybeans adapted to southern U.S. environments. LG04-6863 (relative maturity 4.4) has yielded, 101, 100, and 97% of yields of 'Asgrow AG4403' (3193, 4047, and 3833 kg ha(-1)), a widely grown Roundup Ready cultivar of similar maturity, across eight locations in the USDA Uniform Preliminary Early Group IV Test-Southern States; eight locations in the United Soybean Board Southern Early Group IV Diversity Trials; and 15 southeastern Missouri tests, respectively. It is resistant to stem canker and bacterial pustule. Reaction to phytophthora root rot (PRR; caused by Phytophthora sojae M.J. Kaufmann & J.W. Gerdemann) is unknown, but LG04-6863 has shown good performance on heavy clay soils where PRR often occurs. Soybean introductions have been under utilized in breeding programs. LG04-6863 will have use as an elite parent in soybean breeding programs to improve yield and broaden the germplasm base. C1 [Shannon, J. G.; Wrather, J.

TI Registration of N6202 Soybean Germplasm with High Protein, Favorable Yield Potential, Large Seed, and Diverse Pedigree SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article ID STEM CANKER; CULTIVARS; RESISTANCE; SELECTION AB 'N6202' soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (Reg. No. GP-366, PI 658498) was cooperatively developed and released by the USDA-ARS and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in October 2009 as a mid-Maturity Group VI germplasm with high-protein seed, favorable yield potential, large seed size, and diverse pedigree. The unusual combination of high protein and favorable yield in this germplasm, plus its diverse genetic background, makes it a potentially desirable breeding stock for both specialty and commodity breeding programs. N6202 was developed through conventional breeding and is adapted to the southern United States. Average seed protein level was 457 9 kg(-1) (zero moisture basis), which was 33 g kg-1 greater (p < 0.05) than that of the control cultivar NC-Roy. Average yield of N6202 was more than 90% of NC-Roy over 65 environments. The 100-seed weight of N6202 (21.4 g) was significantly greater (p < 0.05) than that of the largest-seeded control cultivar Dillon (15.2 9). Twenty-five percent of N6202's pedigree is derived from Japanese cultivar Fukuyataka. Fukuyataka is not known to be related to the genetic base of U.S. soybean. An additional 25% of N6202's pedigree traces to the Japanese cultivar Nakasennari, which appears in the pedigree of only one cultivar (its parent 'N6201'). Thus, the release of N6202 broadens the genetic range of materials adapted for soybean breeding in the United States. N6202 exhibits a moderate level of the bleeding hilum trait in some environments.

No. GP-280; PI 643168) selected for aggressive rhizomatous spreading ability and plant vigor in a southern Wisconsin environment. Kura1 was developed jointly by the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center (USDA-ARS), Madison, WI, and released jointly by the USDA-ARS and the University of Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in December 2006. Few improved kura clover breeding populations exist in North America with even fewer named varieties. Kura1 germplasm is a very competitive addition to the improved germplasm base available to breeders. Kura1 was developed by selecting 69 parents for persistence, vigor, and spreading ability out of a common space plant nursery of 35 kura clover plant introductions, breeding populations, germplasm, or varieties. Syn1 seed was produced in Wisconsin in 2004 and Syn2 seed was produced in Wisconsin in 2008. In southern Wisconsin, Kura1 has 12% higher forage yield and 100% better spreading than 'Cossack' and 29% higher forage yield and 33% better spreading than 'Rhizo'. Kura1 also has extensive additive variance for important traits of seedling establishment and vigor, general plant vigor, rhizomatous spreading ability, and seed yield.

TI Registration of the Oilseed Sunflower Genetic Stocks HA 458, HA 459, and HA 460 Possessing Genes for Resistance to Downy Mildew SO JOURNAL OF PLANT REGISTRATIONS LA English DT Article ID HELIANTHUS-ANNUUS L.; PLASMOPARA-HALSTEDII AB Within the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) breeding community, there is a need for additional sources of downy mildew [caused by Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. & De Toni] resistance to combat economically damaging races in North America. Our objective was to produce three genetic stocks, each with a different source of downy mildew resistance, in the genetic background of HA 434, a recently released sunflower maintainer germplasm with high oleic fatty acid content in the seeds. We used the backcross and pedigree breeding methods, with HA 434 as a recurrent parent. Gas chromatography analysis of seed oil composition and greenhouse testing of downy mildew resistance were used during the development process and for progeny testing of the finished genetic stocks. As a result, three oilseed sunflower genetic stocks, HA 458 (Reg. No. GS-51; PI 655009), HA 459 (Reg. No. GS-52; PI 655010), and HA 460 (Reg. No. GS-53; PI 655011), have been released which are resistant to downy mildew and possess a high-oleic fatty acid profile in the seed oil. The experimental designations for HA 458, HA 459, and HA 460 were 06GH 116-9, 06GH 113-4, and 05GH 138-4, respectively. These genetic stocks were released by the USDA-ARS and the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Fargo, ND, to fill the urgent need in the sunflower industry for donor lines with elite genetic background and resistance to common races of downy mildew.

Therefore, we investigated the response of salt-tolerant (K305) and salt-sensitive (I743) cultivars to salt stress at both physiological and molecular levels. Salt treatment increased xylem sap osmolarity, which was attributed primarily to a rise in Na(+) and Cl(-) concentration; enhanced accumulation of the ions in shoots; and reduced plant growth more severely in I743 than K305. The concentration of K(+) in roots and shoots decreased during 8 h of salt treatment in both cultivars but with no marked difference between cultivars. Hence, the severe growth reduction in I743 is attributed to the elevated levels of (mainly) Na(+) in shoots. Analysis of gene expression using quantitative RT-PCR showed that transcripts of K(+)-transporters (HvHAK1 and HvAKT1), vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and inorganic pyrophosphatase (HvHVA/68 and HvHVP1) were more abundant in shoots of K305 than in shoots of I743. Expression of HvHAK1 and Na(+)/H(+) antiporters (HvNHX1, HvNHX3 and HvNHX4) was higher in roots of K305 than in I743 with prolonged exposure to salt. Taken together, these results suggest that the better performance of K305 compared to I743 during salt stress may be related to its greater ability to sequester Na(+) into sub-cellular compartments and/or maintain K(+) homeostasis.

Broiler chickens were continuously fed with a standard diet or standard diet supplemented with Curcuma, Capsicum/Lentinus or Curcuma/Capsicum/Lentinus from hatch and body weight gains, fecal oocyst shedding, antibody titers, and pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression were measured as parameters of protective immunity following challenge infection with E. acervulina. Chickens fed the Curcuma/Capsicum/Lentinus-supplemented diet showed significantly improved body weight gains compared with birds on the standard diet or birds given Capsicum/Lentinus-supplemented diet following challenge infection with E. acervulina. Chickens fed the Curcuma/Capsicum/Lentinus-supplemented diet shed significantly reduced fecal oocysts and produced higher serum antibody titers compared with the groups fed the standard diet or fed Curcuma or Capsicum/Lentinus. Finally, the levels of local cytokine transcripts of IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-15, and IFN-gamma, were consistently greater in the Curcuma/Capsicum/Lentinus-fed group compared to the controls fed only the standard diet, Curcuma, or Capsicum/Lentinus groups. This study provides first immunological evidence that dietary supplementation of turmeric, hot pepper, and shiitake mixture significantly enhances local innate immunity and provides higher protective immunity against E. acervulina infection.

TI Historical channel movement and sediment accretion along the South Fork of the Iowa River SO JOURNAL OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION LA English DT Article DE channel straightening; floodplain; historical sediment; Iowa River; post-settlement alluvium; stream meandering ID EFFECTS ASSESSMENT PROJECT; OVERBANK SEDIMENTATION; BENCHMARK WATERSHEDS; EVOLUTION; RATES; WISCONSIN; HOLOCENE; LEGACY; USA AB River valleys have been influenced by sediment derived from agricultural erosion and channel straightening intended to hasten flood routing. Post-settlement alluvium (PSA) has been little documented in tile-drained areas of the upper Midwest, where agricultural settlement began around 1850, and few soils are highly erodible. This Study investigated channel movement and PSA accumulation along the South Fork of the Iowa River. Channels of the South Fork and tributary Tipton Creek were digitized using rectified aerial photographs taken in 1939 and 2002. Soil cores were collected along valley-crossing transects to determine PSA extent and thickness. Within 80 m (262 ft) of the South Fork, PSA averaged 0.78 m (30.7 in) thick and 85% frequency of occurrence. Beyond 80 m, PSA decreased below 50%. Within 43 m (141 ft) of Tipton Creek, PSA averaging 0.58 m thick occurred with 75% frequency. An estimated 9.2 x 10(6) Mg (10.2 x 10(6) tn) of PSA is stored along these valleys, representing 156.6 Mg ha(-1) (69.8 tn ac(-1)) of soil eroded from uplands since settlement. The, volume of PSA is equivalent to 11 mm (0.44 in) runoff from the watershed. The valley, flood-storage capacivy has been reduced by 5.1 x 10(6) m(3) (4,123 ac ft), considering pore space of the PSA. Modern flooding events are accordingly exacerbated by accretion of agricultural sediment, compared to presettlernent river conditions. Channels were straightened in response to local flood events. which reduced stream length by 10% and hastened routing to the Iowa River. Design of river restoration projects should take account of fluvial processes and how these processes are responding to historical sedimentation and channel straightening. C1 [Tomer, M. D.; James, D.

TI WEPP simulations of dryland cropping systems in small drainages of northeastern Oregon SO JOURNAL OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION LA English DT Article DE conventional tillage; crop growth; no-tillage; runoff; soil loss; Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) ID NORTH-CENTRAL OREGON; SOIL-EROSION; SMALL WATERSHEDS; WINTER-WHEAT; SILT-LOAM; NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT; RUNOFF; MODEL; PREDICTION; RESIDUE AB Computer simulation models are essential tools for evaluating soil erosion potential over large areas of cropland. Small-plot and Field-scale evaluations are commonly conducted for federal farm program compliance, but producers are now Faced with off-farm water quality concerns. Predicting the potential contribution of upland sediment is of interest to producers and state and federal agencies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model for quantifying hydrological and erosion processes in the semiarid croplands of the Columbia Plateau. Two headwater drainages managed using conventional inversion tillage (CT) or no-tillage (NT) management techniques were monitored from 2001 through 2007 in the dryland cropping region of northeastern Oregon. The WEPP model was parameterized primarily from field data, including management and weather data. Crop parameters (above-ground biomass and crop yield), water balance components (volumetric soil water, evapotranspiration [ET], and surface runoff), and soil loss were observed and subsequently used to evaluate WEPP simulations. This detailed dataset allowed for a unique opportunity to evaluate not only the WEPP routines for runoff and erosion but also the routine for crop growth, which greatly influences the erodibility and hydraulic conductivity of top soil layers. Graphical and goodness-of-fit analyses indicate that WEPP generated satisfactory estimates for volumetric soil water and crop yields in NT and CT and above-ground biomass production in NT. Gross patterns of ET simulated by WEPP were compatible with those determined using observed precipitation and soil water data. Observed annual runoff and erosion values from both drainages were low (NT: 0.1 mm [0.004 in], 2.5 kg ha(-1) [0.001 tn ac(-1)]; CT: 0.9 mm [0.04 in], 72.0 kg ha(-1) [0.03 tn ac(-1)]). On average only 0.3%, and 0.03% of total precipitation left the catchment as runoff during the average six-year study period for CT and NT, respectively No runoff was predicted by WEPP when default input values for a Walla Walla silt loam soil were used in the model. Simulated runoff and erosion agreed well with field observations after the effective surface hydraulic conductivity K(eff) and rill erodibility K(r) were calibrated. With minimal calibration, the WEPP model was able to successfully represent the hydrology, sediment transport, and crop growth for CT and NT cropping systems in northeastern Oregon during years of below normal precipitation, mild weather, and little runoff.

TI Livestock grazing and vegetative filter strip buffer effects on runoff sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus losses SO JOURNAL OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION LA English DT Article DE cool-season perennial grasses; livestock grazing management; sediment and nutrient losses; surface runoff; vegetative filter strip buffers; warm-season perennial grasses; water quality ID NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION; WATER-QUALITY; RIPARIAN BUFFERS; CENTRAL IOWA; COOL-SEASON; PASTURE; MANAGEMENT; NUTRIENT; SYSTEMS; CATTLE AB Livestock grazing in the Midwestern United States can result in significant levels of runoff sediment and nutrient losses to surface water resources. Some of these contaminants can increase stream eutrophication and are suspected of contributing to hypoxic conditions in the Gulf of Mexico. This research quantified effects of livestock grazing management practices and vegetative filter strip buffers on runoff depth and mass losses of total solids, nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N), and ortho-phosphorus (PO(4)-P) under natural hydrologic conditions. Runoff data were collected from 12 rainfall events during 2001 to 2003 at an Iowa State University research farm in central Iowa, United States. Three vegetative buffers (paddock area: vegetative buffer area ratios of 1:0.2, 1:0.1, and 1:0 no buffer [control]) and three grazing management practices (continuous, rotational, and no grazing [control]) comprised nine treatment combinations (vegetative buffer ratio/grazing management practice) replicated in three 1.35 ha (3.34 ac) plot areas. The total 4.05 ha (10.02 ac) study area also included nine 0.4 ha (1.0 ac) paddocks and 27 vegetative buffer runoff collection units distributed in a randomized complete block design. The study site was established on uneven terrain with a maximum of 15% slopes and consisted of approximately 100% cool-season smooth bromegrass. Average paddock and vegetative buffer plant tiller densities estimated during the 2003 project season were approximately 62 million and 93 million tillers ha(-1) (153 million and 230 million tillers ac(-1)), respectively. Runoff sample collection pipe leakage discovered and corrected during 2001 possibly reduced runoff depth and affected runoff contaminant mass losses data values. Consequently, 2001 runoff analysis results were limited to treatment comparisons, within the 2061 season and were not compared with 2002 and 2003 data. Analysis results from 2001 showed no significant differences in average losses of runoff, total solids, NO(3)-N, and PO(4)-P among the nine vegetative buffer/grazing practice treatment combinations. Results from 2002 indicated significantly higher losses of runoff and total solids from 1:0 no buffer/rotational grazing and 1:0 no buffer/continuous grazing treatment combination plots, respectively, compared among other 2002 season treatment combinations. The 2003 results showed significantly higher runoff and total solids losses from 1:0 no buffer/no grazing treatment combination plots compared among all 2003 treatment combinations and from 1:0.1 vegetative buffer/no grazing treatment combination plots compared among all 2003 treatment combinations and with respective 2002 treatment combinations. However, the 2003 results indicated effective vegetative buffer performance with significantly lower runoff, total solids, and NO(3)-N losses from the larger 1:0.2 buffer area compared among the smaller 1:0.1 buffer area and 1:0 no buffer treatment combinations. The 2003 results also indicated a highly significant increase in losses of NO(3)-N from 1:0.1 buffer/no grazing treatment combination plots compared among other 2003 season treatment combinations and with respective 2002 treatment combinations. Overall results from this study suggest a shift from significantly higher 2002 season plot losses Of Continuous and rotational grazing treatment combinations to significantly higher 2003 season losses of no grazing treatment combinations. We speculate this shift to significantly higher runoff and contaminantlosses from no grazing treatment combination plots during 2003 reflects the variability inherent to a complex and dynamic soil-water environmental of livestock grazing areas. however, we also hypothesize the environmental conditions that largely consisted of a dense perennial cool-season grass type, high-relief landscape, and relatively high total rainfall depth may not necessarily include livestock grazing activities.

Don) plantations near Yungay, Chile, in January of 2007. Post-fire water repellency (hydrophobicity) was measured using the water-drop-penetration-time (WDPT) method at depths of 0, 5, and 10 mm from the soil surface. These measurements were collected on burned sites of both young (4-years old) and old (11-years old) plantations having both sand- and clay-rich soils. For purpose of comparison, water repellency was also measured one year after the wildfire on four unburned sites representing the same soil types and plantation ages as those occurring on the burned sites. The statistical analyses indicated that water repellency was present only on old stands, being located on the soil surface (clay soils) or as a layer 10 mm deeper or below (sandy soils). However, a water repellent layer was found on young stands growing on sandy soils, five millimeters below the surface, assumed to be formed when a wildfire burned the area before the new plantation was established.

Bins at these elevators had concrete walls and were typically 6-9 m in diameter and 30-35 m tall. A vacuum-probe sampler was used to collect grain samples in the top 12 m of the wheat in each bin. The primary insect species found in the wheat samples were: Cryptolestes ferrugineus, Rhyzopertha dominica, and Tribolium castaneum. In the top 3.7 m of grain, R. dominica, C. ferrugineus. T. castaneum and Sitophilus oryzae made up 44, 36,19 and 1% of the insects found in the samples. respectively. From 3.8 to 12.2 m, R. dominica, C. ferrugineus, T. castaneum and S. oryzae were present at 84, 8, 8, and 1%, respectively. The most prevalent species also changed over time. In June, the start of wheat harvesting and storage in Kansas, insect density was low in the bins. At this time, C. ferrugineus was the most common insect, and it was found mostly in the top grain sample (0-1.2 m). In September through November, C. ferrugineus and R. dominica were at similar densities; however, from February to March, R. dominica was more common. Generally, insect density was greatest at the top and decreased with grain depth. Very few insects were found in samples collected from greater than 12 m (most of the bins contained grain to depths of 2436 m). Insect density for all species increased rapidly from June through October. During this period less than 20% of the bins had economically significant insect densities (>2 insects/kg). From October until February, the average insect density remained fairly constant but it was greatly reduced in April, May, and June. Bins that had insect densities >2 insects/kg tended to be located adjacent to other heavily infested bins. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Flinn, P. W.; Hagstrum, D.

Unimproved warm-season grass pastures were overseeded with Korean lespedeza (Lespedeza stipulacea Maxim) or were not overseeded with summer legume. These same plots were subsequently overseeded with hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), crownvetch (Coronilla varia L.), black medic (Medicago lupulina L.) or ladino white clover (Trifolium repens L.) or, not overseeded with cool-season legume. Including lespedeza in a forage mixture increased total forage yield by an average of 15%, or 1700 kg ha-1 over 4 years. Overseeding with cool-season legumes provided a net benefit in total annual forage yield of 0.75 kg for each 1.0 kg of legume produced. Yield increases resulting from overseeding with hairy vetch or black medic were largely limited to the harvest season following sowing, while overseeded crownvetch or white clover provided limited short- to medium-term yield benefit. Improvement of low-productivity pasture resulting from legume introduction is likely to be slow and will require sustained management input to ensure the presence of a productive legume plant stand.

TI Tillage Requirements of Sweet Corn, Field Pea, and Watermelon Following Stocker Cattle Grazing SO JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE conservation tillage; deep tillage; no-tillage; paratilling; soil compaction; vegetables ID CONSERVATION TILLAGE; COVER CROPS; COTTON; SYSTEMS; SOIL; ENVIRONMENT; YIELD AB Winter annual grazing combined with vegetable production can potentially improve the sustainability of farming operations, particularly in the Southeast. However, winter grazing creates excessive soil compaction, which can adversely affect yields of subsequent summer crops. We initiated a study to determine the optimal tillage system following winter grazing for production of sweet corn (Zea mays, L.), Southern field pea (Vigna unguiculata L.), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) on a Wynnville fine sandy loam, in north-central Alabama of the southeastern U.S. from 2001 to 2003. Each fall, all plots were planted to ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) and stocked with 6.7 cattle ha-1. In the spring, three surface tillage treatments (chisel/disk/level, disk/level, no surface tillage) and three deep tillage treatments (no deep tillage, in-row subsoiling, paratill) were arranged in a factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. Sweet corn ear weights responded to a combination of surface and deep tillage in 2002 and 2003. In 2001, the average response to surface tillage was 105% greater than no-surface tillage, compared with only a 14% increase with deep tillage over no-deep tillage in 2001. Southern field pea grown after winter annual grazing yielded 22% greater 2 of 3 years following surface tillage with disking; inclusion of chisel plowing with the disking showed no benefit. Watermelon yields following winter annual grazing were 39% and 58% greater in 2001 and 2002 with deep tillage alone, specifically in-row subsoiling, without any surface tillage. The tillage system for vegetable growers who choose to complement their operations with winter-annual grazing varies with the vegetable grown. In general, sweet corn responded best to a combination of surface and deep tillage, Southern field pea required only disking, and watermelon responded to in-row deep tillage with no additional surface tillage.

TI Drivers Impacting the Adoption of Sustainable Agricultural Management Practices and Production Systems of the Northeast and Southeast United States SO JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE drivers; agricultural production systems; social drivers; economic drivers; risk management; entrepreneurial strategies; Maine agriculture; Alabama agriculture; commodity and specialty crops ID PRINCIPLES; COMPLEXITY; FARMERS AB Agricultural production responds to social, political, economic, environmental, and technological drivers that influence producers' decisions and shape the individual systems through modification of management practices, crop and livestock mix, and marketing strategy. We use an interview and discussion approach with producer panels to examine production systems in the eastern United States and explore key drivers impacting their unique characteristics and development. The internal social driver that values the farming lifestyle is a principle factor that leads people to choose farming. Irrespective of location, farming is first and foremost a lifestyle choice. The choice of type of production system is partly a lifestyle preference and partly influenced by other external factors, including economic and environmental elements. A second principle driver is economic, arising from a need to make a living, and tempers the internal social driver. Economic return is partially a function of the marketability of products. Marketing channels are dependent on social drivers, including education of producers and consumers, community support and community values. Farmers in the Northeast are able to take a more active role in determining contract terms than those in the Southeast, and are also more aggressive in developing new markets. Development of local markets and community support strengthens the link between farmers and consumers, and reinforces the economic sustainability of Northeastern production systems. With decreased reliance on external risk reduction approaches, Northeastern producers bear greater risk, but also have greater flexibility in altering the crop and livestock mix and are better able to respond to consumer demand.

TI Assessment of the Accuracy of Portion Size Reports Using Computer-Based Food Photographs Aids in the Development of an Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Recall SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID DIETARY ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS; FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE; YOUNG-ADULTS; VALIDITY; VALIDATION; REPRODUCIBILITY; BEVERAGES; INTERVIEW; CHILDREN; SYSTEM AB Objective To assess the accuracy of portion-size estimates and participant preferences using various presentations of digital images. Design Two observational feeding studies were conducted. In both, each participant selected and consumed foods for breakfast and lunch, buffet style, serving themselves portions of nine foods representing five forms (eg, amorphous, pieces). Serving containers were weighed unobtrusively before and after selection as was plate waste. The next day, participants used a computer software program to select photographs representing portion sizes of foods consumed the previous day. Preference information was also collected. In Study 1 (n=29), participants were presented with four different types of images (aerial photographs, angled photographs, images of mounds, and household measures) and two types of screen presentations (simultaneous images vs an empty plate that filled with images of food portions when clicked). In Study 2 (n=20), images were presented in two ways that varied by size (large vs small) and number (4 vs 8). Subjects/setting Convenience sample of volunteers of varying background in an office setting. Statistical analyses performed Repeated-measures analysis of variance of absolute differences between actual and reported portions sizes by presentation methods. Results Accuracy results were largely not statistically significant, indicating that no one image type was most accurate. Accuracy results indicated the use of eight vs four images was more accurate. Strong participant preferences supported presenting simultaneous vs sequential images. Conclusions These findings support the use of aerial photographs in the automated self-administered 24-hour recall. For some food forms, images of mounds or household measures are as accurate as images of food and, therefore, are a cost-effective alternative to photographs of foods.

In Fall 2008, 104 multiethnic children ages 8 to 13 were recruited at the Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX) and randomly assigned to two browse procedures: cover flow (collages of foods in a category) or tree view (food categories in a list). Within each browse condition children categorized the same randomly ordered 26 diverse foods to both child and professionally organized categories (with method randomly sequenced per child). Acceptance of categorization was determined by registered dietitians. Speed of categorization was recorded by the computer. Differences between methods were determined by repeated measures analysis of variance. Younger children (8 to 9 years old) tended to have lower acceptance and longer speeds of categorization. The quickest categorization was obtained with child categories in a tree structure. Computerized dietary reporting by children can use child-generated food categories and tree structures to organize foods for browsing in a hierarchically organized structure to enhance speed of categorization, but not accuracy. A computerized recall may not be appropriate for children 9 years of age or younger. J Am Diet Assoc. 2010;110:91-94.

TI The Accuracy of Stated Energy Contents of Reduced-Energy, Commercially Prepared Foods SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID WEIGHT-LOSS; US ADULTS; CONSUMPTION; IMPACT; DIET AB The accuracy of stated energy contents of reduced-energy restaurant foods and frozen meals purchased from supermarkets was evaluated. Measured energy values of 29 quick-serve and sit-down restaurant foods averaged 18% more than stated values, and measured energy values of 10 frozen meals purchased from supermarkets averaged 8% more than originally stated. These differences substantially exceeded laboratory measurement error but did not achieve statistical significance due to considerable variability in the degree of underreporting. Some individual restaurant items contained up to 200% of stated values and, in addition, free, side dishes increased provided energy to an average of 245% of stated values for the entrees they accompanied. These findings suggest that stated energy contents of reduced-energy meals obtained from restaurants and supermarkets are not consistently accurate, and in this study averaged more than measured values, especially when free side dishes were taken into account. If widespread, this phenomenon could hamper efforts to self-monitor energy intake to control weight, and could also reduce the potential benefit of recent policy initiatives to disseminate information on food energy content at the point of purchase.

TI THE USE OF MIXED TOCOPHEROLS TO IMPROVE UV AND HEAT RESISTANCE OF LEATHER SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN LEATHER CHEMISTS ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID CHROME-FREE LEATHER; COLLAGEN; ULTRAVIOLET AB Most leather products are constantly exposed to outdoor environments, therefore UV and heat resistance are very important qualities, particularly for non-chrome-tanned (chrome-free) leather. In recent years, we have addressed this problem and focused on an environmentally friendly finishing process that will improve the UV and heat resistance of leather. Tocopherols are well-known antioxidants commonly used in the cosmetic and food industries. Moreover, tocopherols have been reported as potent free radical scavengers and highly protective agents for collagen fibers against UV and heat damage. Our previous research on alpha-tocopherol showed that it significantly improved UV and heat resistance of leather. Mixed tocopherols are more abundant and are produced from a renewable source such as soybeans. We have investigated its potential to be applied to leather for improving UV and heat resistance. Experiments were conducted by adding 5 to 12% mixed tocopherols to the grain layer finishes of chrome-free leather. The treated samples were tested in a weatherometer, where they were exposed to artificial sunlight at a high temperature. Colorfastness and mechanical properties tests showed that mixed tocopherols significantly improved UV and heat resistance of leather.

Michael TI Canopy Gas Exchange and Water Use Efficiency of 'Empire' Apple in Response to Particle Film, Irrigation, and Microclimatic Factors SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE kaolin; Surround; vapor pressure deficit; photosynthetically active radiation; leaf area ratio; Malus xdomestica ID CARBON-ISOTOPE DISCRIMINATION; 3 ROOTSTOCKS; LEAF WATER; TRANSPIRATION; TREES; YIELD; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; ASSIMILATION; PEACH; ABSORPTION AB This study examined the interaction between a reflective particle film and water use efficiency (WUE) response of irrigated and non-irrigated apple trees (Malus xdomestica)over a wide range of environmental conditions. The objectives were to measure isotopic discrimination (Delta(13)C and delta(18)O), specific gas exchange, and WUE response of 'Empire' apple treated with a reflective particle film (PF), with and without supplemental irrigation, compared with an untreated control, with and without supplemental irrigation, over a range of leaf area indices (LAI), seasonal evapotranspiration (ETo), and vapor pressure deficits (VPD) to determine the mechanisms of action affecting WUE in apple. Short-term whole canopy gas exchange studies and isotope discrimination analysis were used to test the hypothesis that WUE was modified by the use of a PF. In whole canopy gas exchange studies, carbon assimilation (A) and transpiration tended to increase, and WUE and canopy conductance tended to decrease, with VPD within each LAI class from 2 to 6. For VPD > 1 kPa, the PF irrigated treatment consistently had the greatest WUE and other treatments were intermediate for LAI of 2 to 4. The PF irrigated and non-irrigated treatments had greater WUE than the control irrigated and non-irrigated treatments for VPD <= 2 kPa and there were no treatment effects for VPD > 2 kPa in the LAI range of 4 to 6. The PF non-irrigated was equivalent to the control non-irrigated treatment at VPD of 1 to 3 kPa, but was significantly lower at VPD of 3 to 4 kPa. PF irrigated and non-irrigated treatments had the greatest carbon isotope discrimination (Delta(13)C), the control non-irrigated treatment had the lowest Delta(13)C, and the control-irrigated treatment was intermediate. Oxygen isotope enrichment (delta(18)O) was positively correlated with the mean growing season VPD and mean growing season evapotranspiration. Delta(13)C was significantly and positively correlated with delta(18)O. Seasonal WUE was negatively correlated with Delta(13)C and there was an interaction with LAI. The seasonal water use of apple is better evaluated with stable isotope discrimination integrating seasonal variation rather that the use of whole canopy gas exchange measurements that measure WUE for brief periods of time. Delta(13)C was an accurate measurement of apple WUE and indicated that the PF irrigated treatment had the greatest Delta(13)C and so the lowest WUE compared with the control non-irrigated treatment at LAI from 4 to 6. The reduced WUE of the PF irrigated treatment compared with the control non-irrigated treatment is likely due to increased g(s) from lower canopy temperature and increased canopy photosynthetically active radiation diffusion that drove increased A. delta(18)O was an indicator of seasonal water use over six growing seasons due to its high correlation with ETo. In 'Empire' apple, A can be increased with PF and irrigation treatments, but at the cost of decreased WUE. C1 ARS, USDA, Appalachian Fruit Res Stn, Kearneysville, WV 25430 USA.

TI Functional Identification of a C-repeat Binding Factor Transcriptional Activator from Blueberry Associated with Cold Acclimation and Freezing Tolerance SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Vaccinium corymbosum; CBF/DREB; dehydration responsive; Arabidopsis thaliana ID RESPONSIVE GENE-EXPRESSION; LOW-TEMPERATURE; ARABIDOPSIS-THALIANA; BUD DEVELOPMENT; FLORAL BUDS; DROUGHT; OVEREXPRESSION; PLANTS; DEACCLIMATION; SEQUENCES AB Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is susceptible to winter freezing injury and frost damage in the spring. As part of an ongoing project to understand the process of cold acclimation, we isolated a C-repeat binding factor (CBF) transcriptional activator gene-coding region from the highbush blueberry cultivar Bluecrop. Expression of the highbush blueberry CBF gene was compared in floral buds of the cold-tolerant northern highbush cultivar Bluecrop and the more cold-sensitive southern rabbiteye (V. virgatum) blueberry cultivar Tifblue. Relative gene expression was higher in 'Bluecrop' than in 'Tifblue'. Expression in both cultivars was highest at the earliest time point in the fall (coincident with the first stage of cold acclimation), declined during the later fall and winter, and, in 'Bluecrop', increased again as buds deacclimated, when temperatures tend to fluctuate. To confirm the putative identity of the gene as a member of the CBF gene family, and to determine if expression in a heterologous system could enhance freezing tolerance, the blueberry gene coding sequence was overexpressed in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Transgenic plants expressing the putative blueberry CBF gene exhibited induced expression of the A. thaliana cold-regulated (COR) genes COR78 and COR6.6, under non-inducing conditions (i.e., 23 degrees C); however, expression of two other COR genes was unaffected. Transgenic plants also exhibited enhanced freezing tolerance under non-acclimated conditions, but not to the level of acclimated control plants. Thus, the expression pattern in floral buds and the ability of the isolated gene to turn on a subset of COR genes and increase freezing tolerance in a heterologous system suggest it is a functional member of the CBF gene family in blueberry.

TI The Dominant Ms Allele in Onion Shows Reduced Penetrance SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Allium cepa; cytoplasmic male sterility; nuclear male-fertility restoration ID OPEN-POLLINATED POPULATIONS; ALLIUM-CEPA L.; POLLEN VIABILITY; MALE-STERILITY; IDENTIFICATION; CYTOPLASM; MARKER; SYSTEM; LOCUS; GENE AB The most commonly used source of cytoplasmic male sterility in onion (Allium cepa) is controlled by the interaction of the cytoplasm [male-sterile (S) or normal male-fertile (N)] and one nuclear male-fertility-restoration locus (Ms). Scoring of genotypes at Ms is generally done by testcrossing male-fertile to male-sterile (S aunts) plants, followed by scoring of testcross progenies for male-fertility restoration. We identified two N-cytoplasmic families, one that was homozygous dominant and the other segregating at Ms. Plants from each of these two families were individually testcrossed to male-sterile onion. Nuclear restoration of male fertility in testcross progenies was evaluated in the field over 4 years. For male plants homozygous dominant at Ms, we expected testcross families to show 100% male-fertility restoration, but observed mean values between 46% and 100%. For plants segregating at Ms, we again observed lower than expected frequencies of male-fertility restoration. These results demonstrate that the dominant Ms allele shows reduced penetrance, requiring that male-fertility restoration be scored over years to more confidently assign genotypes at Ms. C1 [Hovey, Michael J.] Univ Wisconsin, USDA, ARS, Dept Hort, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

TI Evaluation of Gynogenic Responsiveness and Pollen Viability of Selfed Doubled Haploid Onion Lines and Chromosome Doubling via Somatic Regeneration SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Allium cepa; inheritance; inbreeding depression; homozygosity; male fertility ID ALLIUM-CEPA L.; IN-VITRO; GENETIC ANALYSES; PLANT INDUCTION; CULTIVARS; EMBRYOS AB Although haploid induction has been used in onions (Allium cepa L.) for over 20 years, several obstacles limit its use in plant breeding programs. To address these limitations, we evaluated the responsiveness of doubled haploid (DH) lines and their selfed progenies, an alternative protocol for chromosome doubling using somatic regeneration of haploid lines, and pollen viability of DH lines. Twenty-one DH lines were self pollinated and tested for haploid induction in the second generation. Among the DH lines, 18 lines showed an average of 20% decrease in gynogenic responsiveness compared with the original lines, while three lines registered an average increase of 5.7%. Using a two-step induction/regeneration procedure, 8,589 somatic regenerants were obtained from 16,170 flower buds from haploid plants, and shoot culture was established. A more laborious procedure using extraction of ovaries in the regeneration stage was found equal to flower bud culture. Chromosome doubling via somatic regeneration was found to be 83% and 100% efficient when the source material was haploid or mixoploid, respectively. Based on the results achieved in this and previous studies, an alternative protocol for chromosome doubling of gynogenic haploids is proposed.

TI Identification and Mapping of Nucleotide Binding Site-Leucine-rich Repeat Resistance Gene Analogs in Bermudagrass SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Cynodon; disease; degenerate oligonucleotides; non-TIR NBS-LRR sequences ID NBS-LRR PROTEINS; DISEASE; CYNODON; HOMOLOGS; DIVERSITY; CULTIVARS; NEMATODE; ANCIENT; POTATO; GRASSES AB Thirty-one partial bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) disease-resistance gene analogs (BRGA) were cloned and sequenced from diploid, triploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid bermudagrass using degenerate primers to target the nucleotide binding site (NBS) of the NBS leucine-rich repeat (LRR) resistance gene family. Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences revealed that the conserved motifs of the NBS are present and all sequences have non-Drosophila melanogaster Toll and mammalian interleukin-1 receptor (T1R) motifs. Using a neighbor-joining algorithm, a dendrogram was created and nine groups of deduced amino acid sequences from bermudagrass could be identified from those sequences that span the NBS. Four BRGA markers and 15 bermudagrass expressed sequence tags (ESTs) with similarity to resistance genes or resistance gene analogs were placed on a bermudagrass genetic map. Multiple BRGA and EST markers mapped on T89 linkage groups 1a and 5a and clusters were seen on T89 19 and two linkage groups previously unidentified. In addition, three primers made from BRGA groups and ESTs with similarity to NBS-LRR resistance genes amplify NBS-LRR analogs in zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica or Z. matrella) or seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum). This gives evidence of conservation of NBS-LRR analogs among the subfamilies Chloridoideae and Panicoideae. Once disease resistance genes are identified, these BRGA and EST markers may be useful in marker-assisted selection for the improvement of disease resistance in bermudagrass.

Our objective was to determine whether amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-derived genetic distance (GD(mm)) estimates and coancestry estimates from pedigrees (GS(ped)) between parental pairs could be used to predict offspring performance. GD(mm) estimates among 16 cultivars and 31 male accessions were used to create breeding pairs that were either distantly related (HOD) or closely related (LGD). Families were grown under field conditions in a randomized complete block design with three replicates; yield and vigor were recorded in 2006 and 2007. The HGD families had nearly significantly higher yields (LS means = 1.56 kg per plant versus 1.21 kg per plant; P = 0.056) and significantly higher vigor (LS means = 7.29 [ordinal scale 1-10] versus 6.54; P = 0.0001) than LGD families. GD(mm) estimates were significantly correlated with yield (r = 0.2438; P = 0.023) and vigor (r = 0.2435; P = 0.024). GD(mm) estimates were also correlated with midparent heterosis (MPH) for vigor (r = 0.236; P = 0.03) but were not correlated with yield-based MPH or specific combining ability estimates based on yield or vigor. GS(ped) estimates were negatively correlated with vigor (r = -0.312; P = 0.018) and vigor-based estimates of MPH (r = -0.291; P = 0.01). The information from this study suggests that molecular-based GD(mm) estimates and, in some cases, GS(ped) estimates can predict superior offspring in a known set of hop accessions. C1 [Henning, J.

Mashing malt using an isothermal hot water extract (HWE) procedure instead of the standard Congress mash generated distinct but closely related values for primary measures of malt modification, including malt extract, wort soluble protein, soluble/total malt protein, wort beta-glucan, and wort free amino nitrogen. Simple measurements of other wort properties, including refractive index and won osmolyte concentration, also showed strong correlations between Congress and HWE worts. Analyses of small-scale (microcentrifuge tube) versions of isothermal HWE worts showed good correlations with the attributes of Congress worts. Although the key malting quality metrics for Congress and HWE worts were not equivalent, their close correlations suggest that they may be equally able to differentiate the malting quality of barley lines. The simple isothermal temperature profile of the HWE wort, in conjunction with implementation of methods that use simple laboratory instrumentation for wort analysis, could simplify initial malting quality analysis and make it more accessible to laboratories lacking dedicated mashing and wort analysis instruments.

Germplasm with potential sources of resistance to attack was identified. The accession PI 162453 averaged only 8% damaged seed per head in 3 yr of testing and PI 431545 averaged 8% damaged seed per head in 4 yr of trials. The accessions PI 431542 and PI 650375, which were tested for five years, averaged 5% and 10% damaged seed per head, respectively over the study. PI 431542 averaged less than 6% in all but one year of testing. Additional accessions that appeared promising in two consecutive years of trials included PI 195573, PI 219649, PI 250085, and PI 432516. Hybrid 894 consistently had high seed damage from S. fidviis feeding. Results revealed potential for developing resistant genotypes for decreasing seed feeding injury by the red sunflower seed weevil. Research is in progress to introgress resistance genes from the identified lines into cultivated sunflower through conventional breeding facilitated by the use of marker-assisted selection.

TI An investigation of the sampling bias of the beard method as used in HVI (TM) SO JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE LA English DT Article DE cotton; HVI; beard method; fiber length measurement; sampling bias; short fiber content ID SHORT-FIBER CONTENT; COTTON AB The beard method is used for sampling cotton fibers to generate fibrograms from which length parameters can be obtained. It is the sampling method used by the Uster High Volume Instrument (HVI (TM)). A fundamental issue of this sampling method is its bias since the mathematical computation to obtain length parameters is quite different. There have been different assumptions regarding the bias of the beard sampling method. In our experiments, we have seen discrepancies in measurements that cannot be explained as length-biased or unbiased, especially in the short fiber region. We report a fundamental research, including experimental and theoretical analysis, and computer simulations, that reveals the bias due to this sampling method. We find that the beard sampling method as used in HVI is not completely length-biased; fibers sampled by using this method are similar to the original fibers except in the short fiber region. Short fiber content (SFC) of the sampled fiber is lower than that of the original fiber, and this difference is inherently introduced by the sampling method.

Effects of prescribed fire in mixed oak forests in the Southern Appalachians: vegetation response. J. Torrey Bot. Soc. 137: 49-66. 2010.-We examined vegetation responses to prescribed fire on three mixed-oak sites located in the Blue Ridge Physiographic province of the southern Appalachian Mountains: Alarka Laurel Branch (AL), Robin Branch (RB), and Roach Mill Branch (RM). Each of the study sites was within a sub-watershed that drained a first order stream. Our objectives were to: 1) evaluate overstory mortality following prescribed fire treatments; and 2) assess changes in composition, abundance, and diversity of overstory (stems >= 5.0 cm dbh), understory (stems < 5.0 cm dbh, >= 0.5 m height), and herbaceous layer (woody stems < 0.5 m height and all herbaceous plants) vegetation in mixed-oak ecosystems. Each site included a burned and unburned area (control). Before the prescribed fire treatments were applied, we established permanent plots (10 x 20 m) in the prescribed burn areas (12 plots in AL, 12 plots in RB, and 10 plots in RM) and adjacent unburned areas (5 plots in AL, 6 plots in RB, and 4 plots in RM), for a total of 49 plots. Within the plots, we sampled vegetation before and after the prescribed burns. All of the prescribed fires were low to moderate intensity; i.e., they had moderate flame temperatures and low flame heights. After the prescribed fires, overstory mortality was low for all sites, and there were no significant differences between mortality in burned areas and that in unburned areas. Understory density was lower on the burned than the unburned plots the first (t = -5.26, P < 0.0001) and second (t = -3.85, P = 0.0020) growing seasons after burning. There was either an increase (AL, RB) or no change (RM) in herbaceous layer cover depending on the site and no significant change in species diversity after burning for any site. Thus, we found no negative effects of prescribed fire on herbaceous flora. C1 [Elliott, Katherine J.; Vose, James M.] US Forest Serv, Coweeta Hydrol Lab, So Res Stn, USDA, Otto, NC 28763 USA.

The Se concentrations of the soybeans, the protein isolate and tofu were 5.2 +/- 0.2, 11.4 +/- 0.1 and 7.4 +/- 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. Male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were depleted of Se by feeding them a 30% Torula yeast-based diet (4.1 mu g Se/kg) for 56 days, and then they were replenished with Se for an additional 50 days by feeding them the same diet containing 14,24 or 30 mu g Se/kg from the protein isolate or 13, 23 or 31 mu g Se/kg from tofu, respectively. L-Selenomethionine (SeMet) was used as a reference. Selenium bioavailability was determined on the basis of the restoration of Se-dependent enzyme activities and tissue Se concentrations in Se-depleted rats, comparing those responses for the protein isolate and tofu to those for SeMet by using a slope-ratio method. Dietary supplementation with the protein isolate or tofu resulted in linear or log-linear, dose-dependent increases in glutathione peroxidase activities in blood and liver and in thioredoxin reductase activity in liver. Furthermore, supplementation with the protein isolate or tofu resulted in linear or log-linear, dose-dependent increases in the Se concentrations of plasma, liver, muscle and kidneys. These results indicated an overall bioavailability of approximately 101% for Se from the protein isolate and 94% from tofu, relative to SeMet. We conclude that Se from naturally produced high-Se soybeans is highly bioavailable in this model and that high-Se soybeans may be a good dietary source of Se. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

Many subtypes of Influenza virus have been isolated from pigs, and the virus continues to evolve in swine populations. Current antibody assays have limited antigenic recognition, and accurate, broad-spectrum, high through-put screening tests are needed to detect infections in swine herds and to aid in the implementation or control measures. In the current study, a commercial blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) developed for the detection of Influenza A virus nucleoprotein antibodies in avian species was evaluated for the detection of anti-influenza serum antibodies in swine. Serum samples used to evaluate the test were archived samples from influenza research conducted at the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service-National Animal Disease Center and included samples from influenza-inoculated pigs (H1N1, H1N2, H2N3, and H3N2), contact-infected pigs, vaccinated pigs, and negative controls. Based on samples of known status (n = 453), a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of the ELISA results estimated the optimized diagnostic sensitivity and specificity at 96.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 92.3, 98.9) and 99.3% (95% CI: 97.6, 99.9), respectively. By using the cutoff established in the ROC analysis, the assay was evaluated in pigs infected with 2 isolates of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus. Overall, the assay showed excellent diagnostic performance against the range of influenza subtypes investigated and could serve as a useful screening assay for swine.

Public health implications of water chemistry and aquatic insects within channelized and unchannelized headwater streams have not been explored. We sampled water chemistry and aquatic insects in two channelized and two unchannelized headwater streams in central Ohio from December 2005 until November 2008. Maximum concentrations of ammonium, nitrate plus nitrite, and chlorothalonil were greater in channelized streams. Nitrate plus nitrite and atrazine also exceeded drinking water standards more often in channelized streams. Maximum concentrations of simazine and the percentage of times it exceeded the drinking water standards were greater in unchannelized streams. The predicted hazard potential of nutrient and pesticide mixtures was greater in channelized streams. Mosquito abundance did not differ between stream types. Chironomid abundance was greater in channelized streams. Biting dipterans did not exhibit consistent abundance trends and only differed between stream types in the summer and fall. Our results suggest that if whole stream uptake of nutrients and pesticides is minimal in channelized headwater streams then nutrient and pesticide inputs from these streams may impact downstream drinking water sources. Our results also suggest channelized and unchannelized headwater streams are not serving as a significant source of mosquitoes.

In this study, we challenged five adult Virginia opossums (Didelphis marsupialis) with vesicular stomatitis New Jersey serotype virus (VSNJV). Opossums had no detectable antibodies against VSNJV prior to being inoculated with 10(6.5) median tissue culture infective doses (TCID(50)) of VSNJV by two routes; intraepithelial/subepithelial (IE/SE) inoculation and scarification in the muzzle (SM). Clinical response was monitored daily and animals were tested for viral shedding. All infected animals developed vesicles and ulcers oil the tongue and inflammation of the nasal alar folds. Virus was isolated from esophagus-pharynx, nasal, and from ocular swabs and lesions samples. The failure to detect viremia in these animals indicates that a source other than blood may be required for transmission to insect vectors. Our results suggest that D. marsupialis could play a role in the maintenance of VSNJV outside of domestic animal populations and could provide a model to study vesicular stomatitis virus pathogenesis.

We found no evidence that low-severity prescribed fires affected density of red squirrels; we estimated the change in red squirrel densities due to prescribed fire as 20.15 squirrels/ ha (95% CI = 5 -0.405-0.105). Squirrel density did, however, increase with increasing live tree density, shrub cover, and density of large downed logs, and varied across years and states. These results indicate that land managers implementing prescribed fire treatments to reduce fuel loads on public lands can reduce the impacts of fire on squirrel populations by formulating prescriptions to retain large live trees and large downed logs.

To help identify areas where such conflicts might occur, we developed a spatially explicit model to predict potential den habitat. The model indicated brown bears selected locations for den sites with steep slopes, away from roads and trails. Den sites were associated with habitat high in elevation and away from potential human contact. We then compared areas with the highest probability of providing den habitat with patterns of snowmobile and nonmotorized recreation on a portion of the Kenai Peninsula. We found limited overlap between the 2 recreation activities and potential den habitat for brown bears. At the landscape scale, however, backcountry skiing overlapped more high-quality den habitat than did snowmobile riding. Our results may be used by land management agencies to identify potential conflict sites and to minimize the potential effects of recreation activities on brown bears in dens.

In Europe, and particularly Spain, foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are often captured using traditional methods such as nonlocking Spanish Snares (SS) set in an ad hoc fence line known as an alar, but these traditional European methods are rarely compared to modernly described restraints such as the Wisconsin Cable Restraint (WR). We evaluated rates of efficiency, selectivity, injury, and impacts to foxes and nontarget species when using SS (as traditionally set in an alar) or WR within alars or on trails in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. During 40,372 trap-nights from summer to winter of 2007, we captured 64 foxes, and 8 of 23 potential nontarget species. Our results indicated that WR set in trails were more efficient (0.28 capture rate) for capturing red foxes than SS set in an alar (0.11 capture rate). Relative to injury, foxes captured with the WR in the alar (95.4%), and WR in trails (90.5%), and the SS (90.9%) showed no indicators of poor welfare, and injury score analysis indicated that injuries were of similar magnitude for all capture devices. Overall, the WR set in trails may have performed the best, but all 3 methods are likely sufficient for capturing foxes with minimal injury, acceptable efficiency, and acceptable impact to foxes and sympatric nontarget species. Thus, wildlife managers in Spain and elsewhere can apply our findings to optimize capture and management of foxes. C1 [Munoz-Igualada, Jaime] Area Vida Silvestre, E-28037 Madrid, Spain.

SO LAKE AND RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Lake Mead; littoral zone; razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus); recruitment; reservoir; spawning ID COLORADO RIVER; XYRAUCHEN-TEXANUS; GREEN RIVER; NATIVE FISH AB Populations of the endangered razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus) have been reduced in the Colorado River during much of the last century. The inability of razorback sucker to recruit in the presence of nonnative fishes and altered flow regimes is thought to be the major factor contributing to their decline. Through funding from the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the US Bureau of Reclamation, we have conducted an ongoing razorback sucker research project on Lake Mead, Arizona and Nevada, since 1996. A major emphasis of this research has been to determine if natural recruitment was occurring in Lake Mead and identify reasons for that recruitment. Ages calculated using a nonlethal aging technique for 186 individual razorback sucker indicate the Lake Mead population is relatively young and that natural, wild recruitment has regularly occurred since the late 1970s. Comparisons of back-calculated ages of captured fish with historical Lake Mead water elevations provide evidence that a change in annual lake level fluctuations is the most likely mechanism that initiated this recruitment phenomenon. Lake level changes along with inundated terrestrial vegetation and turbidity in specific sites in Lake Mead may provide littoral nursery cover for larval and juvenile razorback sucker, allowing them to avoid predation.

We present five areas of possible research foci that we believe that landscape ecologists can join with other social and environmental scientists to increase scientific understanding of this pressing issue: (1) scale and poverty; (2) landscape structure and human well-being; (3) social and ecological processes linked to spatial patterns in landscapes; (4) conservation and poverty, and (5) applying the landscape ecologist's toolkit. A brief set of recommendations for landscape ecologists is also presented. These include the need to utilize broad frameworks that integrate social and ecological variables, build capacity to do this kind of work through the development of strong collaborations of researchers in developed and developing countries, create databases in international locations where extreme poverty exists, and create a new generation of researchers capable of addressing this pressing social and environmental issue.

Despite the numerous investigations of fire patterns from either observed or simulated sources, the specific influence of environmental factors on BP patterns is not well understood. This study examined the relative effects of ignitions, fuels, and weather on mean BP and spatial patterns in BP (i.e., BP variability) using highly simplified artificial landscapes and wildfire simulation methods. Our results showed that a limited set of inputs yielded a wide range of responses in the mean and spatial patterning of BP. The input factors contributed unequally to mean BP and to BP variability: so-called top-down controls (weather) primarily influenced mean BP, whereas bottom-up influences (ignitions and fuels) were mainly responsible for the spatial patterns of BP. However, confounding effects and interactions among factors suggest that fully separating top-down and bottom-up controls may be impossible. Furthermore, interactions among input variables produced unanticipated but explainable BP patterns, hinting at complex topological dependencies among the main determinants of fire spread and the resulting BP. The results will improve our understanding of the spatial ecology of fire regimes and help in the interpretation of patterns of fire likelihood on real landscapes as part of future wildfire risk assessments.

An overriding feature of freshwater ecosystems is connectedness, which has been compromised by a wide range of human actions. Strong connections between terrestrial watersheds and receiving waters, and upstream and downstream linkages within river systems, make a large-scale perspective essential in conservation planning. In this chapter, we present the essential elements of large-scale aquatic conservation planning, with emphasis on stream and river ecosystems of the Northern Appalachian/Acadian Ecoregion. We review relevant aspects of the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems, discuss different approaches to aquatic conservation, and provide a case study of large-scale conservation planning and implementation in the Connecticut River basin.

The analysis is guided by discursive social psychology in which expressed meanings reflect interpretive frames campers use to explain experiences. Key elements of camping experience include nature, social interaction, and comfort/convenience. The most common associated meanings are restoration, family functioning, experiencing nature, special places, self-identity, social interaction, and children's learning. Comparing these experiences and meanings to findings from the 1960s and 1970s suggests that meanings associated with experiencing nature, social interaction, and family have evolved to reflect their greater discursive importance in contemporary society.

The delivery of consignments of deteriorated sugarcane or sugar beets to factories can detrimentally affect multiple process units, and even lead to a factory shut-down. An enzymatic factory method that is rapid, simple, and inexpensive is now, available to measure mannitol in consignment juices at both sugarcane and sugar beet factories. This will allow factory staff to know which consignments of sugarcane or Sugar beet will affect processing negatively or reject consignments that will cause unacceptable processing problems. Mannitol is directly measured on a spectrophotometer using mannitol dehydrogenase as the enzyme. The stability of the reagents, limited juice preparation, and linearity are described. The method is accurate compared to ion chromatography and precise, although precision decreases for both sugarcane and sugarbeet juices With low mannitol concentrations. A strong polynomial relationship (R(2) = 0.912) existed between mannitol and haze dextran (alpha-(1 -> 6)-alpha-D-glucan) in juices Obtained across a 3-month processing season at a sugarcane factory. Mannitol concentrations are usually higher than concentrations of monoclonal antibody dextran and Other Specific Measures of dextran, which indicates (1) the usefulness and sensitivity of mannitol. to predict sugarcane deterioration from Leuconostoc and other bacteria,and (11) the underestimation by sugar industry personnel of the relatively large amounts of mannitol present in deteriorated sugarcane. Greater than similar to 250-500 ppm/Brix of mannitol in sugarcane juice predicts downstream processing problems, but this threshold value may vary from region to region. The increasing awareness of how mannitol detrimentally effects processing, e.g., its contribution to the Louisiana hard-to-boil massecuite phenomenon, is also fully discussed.

Part 1 of this chapter reviews and discusses various manure P characterization methods including sequential fractionation, solution (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, enzymatic hydrolysis, and solid state spectroscopic techniques. We then present a case study that compares P forms in conventional and organic dairy manure identified by solution and solid state (31)P NMR spectroscopy. The results of this case study suggest that the lability of P may differ between organic and conventional dairy manures; therefore specific management practices may be required for organic dairy manure. Part II of the chapter focuses on the impacts of manure application on soil P status. For this part we present and discuss the results of laboratory aerobic incubation and field studies to evaluate short- and long-term impacts, respectively. The lack of stable organic P in relevant extracts of the laboratory or field soils with manure amendment indicates possible degradation of stable manure P. Sequential fractionation of pasture soils reveals that the levels of labile P are more closely related to the number of years receiving poultry litter, whereas the levels of stable P are related to the cumulative amount of poultry litter applied. The two different patterns imply that the impact of manure application on the environment (including runoff potential) should be gradually factored in with increasing length of application.

TI CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SELECTED FOOD-GRADE SORGHUM VARIETIES GROWN UNDER TYPICAL MEDITERRANEAN CONDITIONS SO MAYDICA LA English DT Article DE Sorghum hybrid; Sorghum pure line; Chemical composition; Energy value; Amino acids ID CELIAC-DISEASE AB Sorghum is a staple food grain in many semi-arid and tropical areas of the world, notably in Sub-Saharan Africa due to its good agronomic properties in harsh environments. At present, sorghum is widely found in the dry areas of Asia (India and China), the Americas and Australia. Due to its properties as a wheat-free food, interest is increasing in cultivating sorghum in Mediterranean countries. However, little is known about how the environment of Mediterranean countries would influence the chemical composition of sorghum. Thus, research has been conducted to compare the composition of selected food-grade white sorghum hybrids grown in Foggia (southern Italy) to hybrids grown in one of the primary sorghum growing regions of the US; Kansas. The sorghum grown in Italy were found to have a higher protein content than the sample grown in Kansas, though overall grain quality was comparable between the two regions. Immunosorbent assays (RASA) showed for all sorghum flour samples analyzed, the absence of proteins that are toxic for celiac patients. C1 [Pontieri, P.; Del Giudice, L.; Massardo, D.

SINGH, B. ZEMAN, and G. M. DAVIS, Effect of Progressive Resistance Training oil Muscle Performance after Chronic Stroke. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc.. Vol. 42. No. 1, pp. 23-34 2010. Purpose: This study investigated the effects of high-intensity progressive resistance training (PRT) and high-intensity cycling (cycling) On muscle performance and the time Course of strength gains in a chronic stroke population. Methods: Forty-eight individuals with chronic stroke sequelae (mean +/- SD; age = 63 +/- 9 yr, time since stroke = 57 +/- 54 months) were randomly allocated to one of four treatment groups: PRT + cycling, PRT + sham cycling, sham PRT + cycling, or sham PRT + sham cycling groups in a fully factorial clinical trial. Thirty exercise sessions were Conducted over a 10- to 12-wk period. The Main outcomes investigated were Measures of unilateral muscle strength, peak power, and Muscle endurance. Results: Those undergoing PRT improved their lower limb muscle strength, peak power, and endurance compared with participants receiving sham PRT or cycling only (P < 0.05), and combined exercise was not superior to PRT alone. Strength improvements occurred primarily during the first 6 to 8 wk (98%-100% of total gain) and then reached a plateau during the final 2 to 4 wk. Conclusion: We have shown for the first time in a direct comparison study that high-intensity PRT, but not cycling or sham exercise, can improve muscle strength, peak power, and muscle endurance in both affected and unaffected lower limbs after chronic stroke by a significant and clinically meaningful amount. Although strength gains plateaued earlier than anticipated, adherence to the intended Continuous high-intensity progressive overload protocol was largely achieved (average load of 84% +/- 4% of one repetition maximum).

The impact of metagenomics is witnessed in the development of commodity and fine chemicals, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals where the benefit of enzyme-catalysed chiral synthesis is increasingly recognized. Recovery of metabolic pathways and gene clusters involved in biosynthesis of antibiotics and bioactive molecules has increased the prospect of identifying useful natural and synthetic products for drug development. The discovery of biocatalysts operating optimally with high efficiency in conditions amenable to industrial processes requirements are key to successful development of food products, detergent additives, bioactive compounds, fuel alcohol and biodiesel, as well as optically active intermediates for chemical and drug synthesis.

In the in vitro experiment, intestinal contents were incubated with the individual prebiotics (0.5% by weight) at 25A degrees C for 24 and 48 h. Analysis of volatile fatty acids in the supernatant showed that GroBioticA (R)-A, MOS, and GOS tended to produce lower acetate levels but higher butyrate levels at 48 h compared to diet alone. However, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis failed to detect any differences in the composition of the microbial community among treatments. DNA sequencing of a common band for all inoculated samples revealed close similarity to the anaerobic Fusobacteria bacterium. An 8-week feeding trial also was conducted to evaluate the four prebiotics looking at growth performance; weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, whole-body ash, moisture, and lipid did not vary among fish fed the various diets. However, DGGE analysis revealed that all prebiotics produced a different type of microbial community in the intestinal tract of hybrid striped bass compared to fish fed the basal diet. Thus, GroBioticA (R)-A, FOS, GOS, and MOS exhibited prebiotic effects in hybrid striped bass.

Before UHT treatment, bulk tank raw milk was categorized into groups according to SCC and TBC. To study the effect of SCC, four groups of raw milk were selected: Group A (<100,000 cells mL(-1)), Group B (100,000-400,000 cells mL(-1)), Group C (400,000-800,000 cells mL(-1)) and Group D (800,000-1,200,000 cells mL(-1)). All groups had a low TBC (<100,000 cfu mL(-1)). To study the effect of TBC, two groups of raw milk were selected: Low TBC (<100,000 cfu mL(-1)) and high TBC (1-2 million cfu mL(-1)). The SCC of both groups was less than 100,000 cells mL(-1). UHT-processed milk prepared from each group was analyzed for casein fractions through Reversed-Phase HPLC. Somatic cell count and TBC in raw milk increased the proteolysis of UHT processed milk. High SCC caused a decrease (P<0.05) in the concentrations of the alpha(s)- and beta-casein, while high TBC caused a decrease (P<0.05) in kappa-, beta- and alpha(s)-casein. An increase (P<0.05) in the gamma-casein concentration was observed for milk with either a high SCC or a high TBC.

A collection of 411 Belgian P. ramorum isolates was established during a 7-year survey. Our main objectives were genetic characterization of this population to test for sexual reproduction, determination of population structure, evolution and spread, and evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of control measures. Novel, polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed after screening 149 candidate loci. Eighty isolates of P. ramorum, broadly representing the Belgian population, were analyzed using four previously described and three newly identified polymorphic microsatellite loci as well as amplified fragment length polymorphisms. SSR analysis was most informative and was used to screen the entire Belgian population. Thirty multilocus genotypes were identified, but 68% of the isolates belonged to the main genotype EU1MG1. Although accumulated mutation events were detected, the overall level of genetic diversity within the Belgian isolates of P. ramorum appears to be limited, indicating a relatively recent clonal expansion. Based on our SSR analysis there is no evidence of sexual recombination in the Belgian population of P. ramorum. Metalaxyl use decreased the genetic diversity of P. ramorum until 2005, when the majority of the isolates had become resistant. Most genotypes were site-specific and despite systematic removal of symptomatic and neighbouring plants, some genotypes were detected over a period of several years at a single site, sometimes discontinuously, indicating (latent) survival of the pathogen at those sites.

Aspergillus flavus has two self/nonself recognition systems, a sexual compatibility system and a vegetative incompatibility system, and both play a role in directing gene flow in populations. Aspergillus flavus reproduces clonally in wild and agricultural settings, but whether a cryptic sexual stage exists in nature is currently unknown. We investigated the distribution of genetic variation in 243 samples collected over 4 years from three common vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) in Arizona and Texas from cotton using 24 microsatellite loci and the mating type locus (MAT) to assess population structure and potential gene flow among A. flavus VCGs in sympatric populations. All isolates within a VCG had the same mating type with OD02 having MAT1-2 and both CG136 and MR17 having MAT1-1. Our results support the hypothesis that these three A. flavus VCGs are genetically isolated. We found high levels of genetic differentiation and no evidence of gene flow between VCGs, including VCGs of opposite mating-type. Our results suggest that these VCGs diverged before domestication of agricultural hosts (> 10 000 yr bp). C1 [Grubisha, L. C.; Cotty, P.

To address this need, we wrote a spatially explicit, individual-based population genetics model (cdpop). The model implements individual-based population modelling with Mendelian inheritance and k-allele mutation on a resistant landscape. The model simulates changes in population and genotypes through time as functions of individual based movement, reproduction, mortality and dispersal on a continuous cost surface. This model will be a valuable tool for the study of landscape genetics by increasing our understanding about the effects of life history, vagility and differential models of landscape resistance on the genetic structure of populations in complex landscapes.

Meanwhile, this question is but one of a whole set of related questions that invasion biologists are attempting to answer. Pathogen release is of interest to both sets of scientists because it provides a measure of the extent to which previously isolated mycobiotas have undergone cryptic homogenization, and at the same time it is the basis for a promising hypothesis to explain plant invasions. We argue that only a fraction of all first encounters between novel pathogens and evolutionarily naive plants could result in susceptible outcomes. This is analogous to the fact that only a fraction of all plant introductions result in plant invasions. C1 [Newcombe, George] Univ Idaho, Dept Forest Resources, Moscow, ID 83844 USA.

Chen, Weidong BE Gherbawy, Y Voight, K TI Applications of Molecular Markers and DNA Sequences in Identifying Fungal Pathogens of Cool Season Grain Legumes SO MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF FUNGI LA English DT Article; Book Chapter ID POLYMERASE-CHAIN-REACTION; SCLEROTINIA-TRIFOLIORUM; POWDERY MILDEWS; CICER-ARIETINUM; IDENTIFICATION; CHICKPEA AB Molecular techniques have now been widely applied in many disciplines of biological sciences including fungal identification in microbial ecology and in plant pathology. In plant pathology, it is now common to use molecular techniques to identify and study plant pathogens of many agronomical and horticultural crops including cool season grain legume crops. In this chapter, we present two examples in which molecular techniques have been applied in order to identify and investigate multiple fungal pathogens causing two important diseases of chickpea and lentil. In each case, molecular techniques improved over traditional morphological identification and allowed timely and unambiguous identification of fungal pathogens. The first example involves identification of two Sclerotinia species (S. sclerotiorum and S. trifoliorum) causing stem rot of chickpea. Traditional method requires induction of carpogenic germination and observation of dimorphic ascospores in S. trifoliorum, which takes up to eight weeks. Taking advantage of the group I introns present in the nuclear small subunit rDNA of S. trifoliorum but absent in the same DNA region of S. sclerotiorum, a simple PCR amplification of the targeted DNA region allowed timely and reliable differentiation and identification of the species. The second example is of powdery mildew of lentil. Identification of powdery mildew fungi requires observing the teleomorphic (sexual) state of the pathogens, but this is not always available. In studying lentil powdery mildew in the US Pacific Northwest, we found that the powdery mildew on lentil does not fit previously reported species (Erysiphe pisi and E. diffusa). Further investigation confirmed that the lentil powdery mildew in the US is E. trifolii, a new pathogen of lentil. This discovery was mainly based on the rDNA ITS sequences and further confirmed by morphological and pathogenicity studies. These two examples demonstrate the important role of modern molecular techniques in solving practical agricultural problems. The ITS and adjacent rDNA could be ideal target regions for developing DNA barcodes for identifying these and related fungal species.

We found that synthetic single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides (oligos) introduced into bacteria by transformation can site-specifically recombine with bacterial chromosomes in the absence of any additional phage-encoded functions. Oligo recombination was tested in four genera of Gram-negative bacteria and in all cases evidence for recombination was apparent. The experiments presented here were designed with an eye towards learning to use oligo recombination in order to bootstrap identification and development of phage-encoded recombination systems for recombineering in a wide range of bacteria. The results show that oligo concentration and sequence have the greatest influence on recombination frequency, while oligo length was less important. Apart from the utility of oligo recombination, these findings also provide insights regarding the details of recombination mediated by phage-encoded functions. Establishing that oligos can recombine with bacterial genomes provides a link to similar observations of oligo recombination in archaea and eukaryotes suggesting the possibility that this process is evolutionary conserved.

Nor is much known about how folate levels impact the expression of other genes. These points were addressed using wild-type tomato fruit and fruit engineered for high folate content. In wild-type fruit, the expression of genes specifying early steps in folate biosynthesis declined during development but that of other genes did not. In engineered fruit overexpressing foreign GTP cyclohydrolase I and aminodeoxychorismate synthase genes, the expression of the respective endogenous genes did not change, but that of three downstream pathway genes-aminodeoxychorismate lyase, dihydroneopterin aldolase, and mitochondrial folylpolyglutamate synthase-respectively increased by up to 7.8-, 2.8-, and 1.7-fold, apparently in response to the build-up of specific folate pathway metabolites. These results indicate that, in fruit, certain folate pathway genes are developmentally regulated and that certain others are subject to feedforward control by pathway intermediates. Microarray analysis showed that only 14 other transcripts (of 11 000 surveyed) increased in abundance by two-fold or more in high-folate fruit, demonstrating that the induction of folate pathway genes is relatively specific.

TI PR10 expression in maize and its effect on host resistance against Aspergillus flavus infection and aflatoxin production SO MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article ID PATHOGENESIS-RELATED PROTEIN; ARABIDOPSIS-THALIANA; MEDIATED TRANSFORMATION; KERNEL INFECTION; TRANSGENIC MAIZE; GENE-EXPRESSION; CORN KERNELS; EAR ROT; IDENTIFICATION; ACCUMULATION AB P>Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major crop susceptible to Aspergillus flavus infection and subsequent contamination with aflatoxins, the potent carcinogenic secondary metabolites of the fungus. Protein profiles of maize genotypes resistant and susceptible to A. flavus infection and/or aflatoxin contamination have been compared, and several resistance-associated proteins have been found, including a pathogenesis-related protein 10 (PR10). In this study, RNA interference (RNAi) gene silencing technology was employed to further investigate the importance of PR10. An RNAi gene silencing vector was constructed and introduced into immature Hi II maize embryos through both bombardment and Agrobacterium infection procedures. PR10 expression was reduced by 65% to more than 99% in transgenic callus lines from bombardment. The RNAi-silenced callus lines also showed increased sensitivity to heat stress treatment. A similar reduction in PR10 transcript levels was observed in seedling leaf and root tissues developed from transgenic kernels. When inoculated with A. flavus, RNAi-silenced mature kernels produced from Agrobacterium-mediated transformation showed a significant increase in fungal colonization and aflatoxin production in 10 and six, respectively, of 11 RNAi lines compared with the non-silenced control. Further proteomic analysis of RNAi-silenced kernels revealed a significant reduction in PR10 production in eight of 11 RNAi lines that showed positive for transformation. A significant negative correlation between PR10 expression at either transcript or protein level and kernel aflatoxin production was observed. The results indicate a major role for PR10 expression in maize aflatoxin resistance.

The fungi most often recovered from naturally infected sorghum grain, Fusarium thapsinum and Curvularia lunata, were used to inoculate a set of resistant and susceptible cultivars at anthesis in both field and glasshouse trials. In the field, 12 cultivars were inoculated with a mixture of F. thapsinum and C. lunata and, in the glasshouse, individual panicles from four selected cultivars were inoculated with spore suspensions of C. lunata, F. thapsinum, a mixture of the two or water to serve as a control. Based on grain mould severity ratings and germination tests on the seed from the field trial, Tx2911, Sureno, SC719-11E and SC650-11E displayed a high level of resistance to grain mould. To determine whether resistant and susceptible lines differed in response to the pathogens, PR-10 mRNA levels were measured using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. PR-10 is a protein with antifungal properties that has been associated with defence responses in sorghum and other plant species. In field tests, most, but not all, cultivars showed significant induction of normalized relative quantities of PR-10 after dual inoculation with spores of both C. lunata and F. thapsinum. Under glasshouse-controlled conditions, glumes of inoculated plants showed the clear induction of PR-10 mRNA, and the response was greater in resistant (Tx2911 and Sureno) than in susceptible (RTx430 and SC170-6-17) cultivars. Inoculation with spores from a single mould-inducing pathogen generally induced greater responses than when spores were combined. For RTx430, SC170-6-17 and Sureno, the response to C. lunata was greater, whereas Tx2911 showed a stronger response to F. thapsinum. The results indicate that the induction of PR-10 in sorghum glumes may be a factor useful in breeding programmes designed to combine multiple factors for resistance.

By mixing with pectin, both nisin and Nisaplin (R) were able to inhibit microbial growth, even after heating to 160 degrees C. In contrast, without pectin, the nisin was totally inactivated after heat treatment. Nisin and pectin in solution were complexed, as shown by atomic force microscopic analysis. Probably, the complex formation between the polysaccharide and the polypeptide contributed to improve the thermostability of nisin; however, a detailed mechanism remains to be resolved. Thin membranes were prepared by co-extrusion of poly(lactic acid) and microparticles of pectin-Nisaplin (R). Despite the high extrusion temperatures, the presence of pectin protected the biological activity of the nisin and the resultant membranes were antimicrobial and could be used as an inner layer of multi-layer packaging materials for active packaging.

One candidate fungus for biological control of R. repens is Puccinia acroptili, which causes a rust disease. Understanding the life cycle of candidate rust fungi for weed biological control is an essential component in risk assessments and evaluations, and for P. acroptili such was unknown. For this reason greenhouse studies were undertaken to clarify the life cycle of P. acroptili under artificial conditions. Spermogonia with spermatia developed on R. repens following plant Inoculation with teliospores, Artificial transfer of spermatia between spermogonia resulted in the development of aecia with uredinioid aeciospores. Inoculation with aeciospores or urediniospores resulted in uredinia containing urediniospores and occasional amphispores. Telia with teliospores and occasional mesospores developed later. Teliospores produced typical basidia with four basidiospores. These results suggest that the life cycle of R acroptili is macrocyclic and autoecious. Inoculation with teliospores also frequently resulted in production of sori that were morphologically similar to aecia but which were not associated with spermogonia or the classical transfer of spermatia. The ontology of these sori is unknown. This is the first description of spermogonia and the first report and description of basidiospores, aecia, aeciospores, amphispores and mesospores of P. acroptili.

The asexual phase of this species is characterized by the production of umbellate sporangiophores and papillate sporangia that are ellipsoid and obpyriform with conspicuously tapered bases and possess caducous, medium to long pedicels. The sexual phase is characterized by the production of oogonia with tapered bases, small amphigynous antheridia and thick-walled, plerotic oospores. The morphology of the taxon does not match any of the valid 95 Phytophthora. species described to date. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer rDNA region (ITS) and the translation elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) of this taxon and those from other Phytophthora species from GenBank and the Phytophthora. database indicates that the new taxon is most closely related to species in ITS clade 10, including P. kernoviae, P. boehmeriae and the recently described P. gallica. The most closely related species is R kernoviae, an invasive plant pathogen causing bleeding stem lesions on forest trees (beech, Fagus sylvatica) and foliar necrosis of ornamentals (rhododendron, pieris and magnolia) in the UK, and isolated in New Zealand from necrotic cherimoya shoots and fruits and soil. Although the morphological characters of the sexual phase of P. morindae and P. kernoviae are similar, the umbellate sporangiophores produced by the new taxon marks the main morphological distinction. In this paper we describe the morphological characteristics, the phylogenetic relationships and pathogenicity characteristics that support the description of this taxon as a new species with the proposed name Phytophthora morindae sp. nov.

Species assigned to Debaryomyces partitioned into three clades and species assigned to Pichia were distributed among six clades. These well-supported clades were interpreted as genera, and from this analysis, the following new genera are proposed: Babjeviella, Meyerozyma, Millerozyma, Priceomyces, and Scheffersomyces. The genus Schwanniomyces was reinstated and emended, and the genus Yamadazyma was phylogenetically defined. From this study, 23 new combinations and 3 new ranks are proposed.

(Bionectriaceae, Hypocreales) is described and illustrated based on a collection from Bambusa vulgaris in Martinique. The asexual state was obtained in culture and identified as Gliomastix fusigera. Gliomastix fusigera is an anamorphic species that occurs on members of the Arecaceae and Poaceae throughout the tropics and for which no sexual state is known. Hydropisphaera bambusicola is distinctive in having aseptate, striate ascospores. All other species of Hydropisphaera and most species of the Bionectriaceae have one or more septate ascospores. Hydropisphaera bambusicola and eight other species in Hydropisphaera are unusual in having fasciculate hairs near the perithecial apex. A key to the species of Hydropisphaera with hairs is presented.

Cultural morphology, sporulation pattern and cluster analyses of combined RAPD, RAMS (microsatellite), and AFLP fingerprints of A. cerasidanica and 167 strains of Alternaria spp. support the placement of A. cerasidanica within the A. infectoria species-group sensu Simmons and its segregation from other members of this group. A. cerasidanica is currently monotypic and known only from preharvest sweet cherry fruit in Denmark.

Six Raffaelea species were recovered: R. lauricola, R. arxii, and four new species: R. subalba, R. ellipticospora, R. fusca and R. subfusca. Phylogenetic analyses of LSU rDNA sequences placed these mycangial inhabitants and other species of Raffaelea, as well as some species of Ambrosiella associated with ambrosia beetles, into a monophyletic, asexual clade within Ophiostoma. New combinations in Raffaelea are made for some Ambrosiella species and Dryadomyces amasae. Ambrosia beetle symbionts with Ceratocystis affinities, including A. trypodendri comb. nov., are retained in Ambrosiella, but Ambrosiella species associated with bark beetles are transferred to the anamorph genus Hyalorhinocladiella as H. ips, H. macrospora, and H. tingens.

TI High Oxygen Nanocomposite Barrier Films Based on Xylan and Nanocrystalline Cellulose SO NANO-MICRO LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Nanocomposites; Xylan; Nanocrystalline cellulose; Oxygen barrier ID WHISKERS; HEMICELLULOSE; STARCH AB The goal of this work is to produce nanocomposite film with low oxygen permeability by casting an aqueous solution containing xylan, sorbitol and nanocrystalline cellulose. The morphology of the resulting nanocomposite films was examined by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy which showed that control films containing xylan and sorbitol had a more open structure as compared to xylan-sorbitol films containing sulfonated nanocrystalline cellulose. The average pore diameter, bulk density, porosity and tortuosity factor measurements of control xylan films and nanocomposite xylan films were examined by mercury intrusion porosimetry techniques. Xylan films reinforced with nanocrystalline cellulose were denser and exhibited higher tortuosity factor than the control xylan films. Control xylan films had average pore diameter, bulk density, porosity and tortuosity factor of 0.1730 mu m, 0.6165 g/ml, 53.0161% and 1.258, respectively as compared to xylan films reinforced with 50% nanocrystalline cellulose with average pore diameter of 0.0581 mu m, bulk density of 1.1513 g/ml, porosity of 22.8906% and tortuosity factor of 2.005. Oxygen transmission rate tests demonstrated that films prepared with xylan, sorbitol and 5%, 10%, 25% and 50% sulfonated nanocrystalline cellulose exhibited a significantly reduced oxygen permeability of 1.1387, 1.0933, 0.8986 and 0.1799 cm(3).mu m/m(2).d.kPa respectively with respect to films prepared solely from xylan and sorbitol with a oxygen permeability of 189.1665 cm(3).mu m/m(2).d.kPa. These properties suggested these nanocomposite films have promising barrier properties. C1 [Saxena, Amit; Ragauskas, Arthur J.] Georgia Inst Technol, Sch Chem & Biochem, Atlanta, GA 30332 USA.

TI Stand Dynamics of an Old-Growth Eastern Hemlock-Hardwood Forest in West Virginia SO NATURAL AREAS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Adelges tsugae; eastern hemlock; forest stand dynamics; hemlock woolly adelgid; old-growth forest; Tsuga canadensis AB Cathedral State Park (CSP) is a 54-ha, old-growth, eastern hemlock-hardwood forest located in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) (Adelges tsugae Annand) is an exotic insect that currently threatens eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.) in its native range, and was found in CSP in 2002. In 2006, field plots established in 2000 were re-measured to assess adelgid-induced changes to forest structure and species composition. The herbaceous plant community was also measured during the 2006 growing season to describe how the ground flora has changed since it was originally surveyed in 1965. In addition, characteristics of snags and downed dead wood in CSP were compared to published data on 25 old-growth hemlock-hardwood stands in the eastern United States. From 2000 to 2006, little HWA-induced change occurred in CSP. Density and basal area of overstory hemlock did not change, while snag density and basal area decreased over time. However, more than 10% of measured overstory hemlock trees were infested with HWA, with plot infestations ranging from 0 to 93% of stems. CSP had 1.5 times the volume of downed dead logs compared to other old-growth hemlock-hardwood stands. This study serves as a reference of forest structure and species composition in CSP prior to HWA-induced mortality.

TI A stochastic Forest Fire Model for future land cover scenarios assessment SO NATURAL HAZARDS AND EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SELF-ORGANIZED CRITICALITY; POWER-LAW DISTRIBUTIONS; UNITED-STATES; CRITICAL-BEHAVIOR; WILDFIRE REGIMES; LANDSCAPES AB Land cover is affected by many factors including economic development, climate and natural disturbances such as wildfires. The ability to evaluate how fire regimes may alter future vegetation, and how future vegetation may alter fire regimes, would assist forest managers in planning management actions to be carried out in the face of anticipated socio-economic and climatic change. In this paper, we present a method for calibrating a cellular automata wildfire regime simulation model with actual data on land cover and wildfire size-frequency. The method is based on the observation that many forest fire regimes, in different forest types and regions, exhibit power law frequency-area distributions. The standard Drossel-Schwabl cellular automata Forest Fire Model (DS-FFM) produces simulations which reproduce this observed pattern. However, the standard model is simplistic in that it considers land cover to be binary - each cell either contains a tree or it is empty - and the model overestimates the frequency of large fires relative to actual landscapes. Our new model, the Modified Forest Fire Model (MFFM), addresses this limitation by incorporating information on actual land use and differentiating among various types of flammable vegetation. The MFFM simulation model was tested on forest types with Mediterranean and sub-tropical fire regimes. The results showed that the MFFM was able to reproduce structural fire regime parameters for these two regions. Further, the model was used to forecast future land cover. Future research will extend this model to refine the forecasts of future land cover and fire regime scenarios under climate, land use and socio-economic change.

TI Measuring the effect of fuel treatments on forest carbon using landscape risk analysis SO NATURAL HAZARDS AND EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID FIRE SEVERITY; UNITED-STATES; WILDLAND FIRE; PINE FOREST; WILDFIRE; GROWTH; CALIFORNIA; VEGETATION; REDUCTION; SPREAD AB Wildfire simulation modelling was used to examine whether fuel reduction treatments can potentially reduce future wildfire emissions and provide carbon benefits. In contrast to previous reports, the current study modelled landscape scale effects of fuel treatments on fire spread and intensity, and used a probabilistic framework to quantify wildfire effects on carbon pools to account for stochastic wildfire occurrence. The study area was a 68 474 ha watershed located on the Fremont-Winema National Forest in southeastern Oregon, USA. Fuel reduction treatments were simulated on 10% of the watershed (19% of federal forestland). We simulated 30 000 wildfires with random ignition locations under both treated and untreated landscapes to estimate the change in burn probability by flame length class resulting from the treatments. Carbon loss functions were then calculated with the Forest Vegetation Simulator for each stand in the study area to quantify change in carbon as a function of flame length. We then calculated the expected change in carbon from a random ignition and wildfire as the sum of the product of the carbon loss and the burn probabilities by flame length class. The expected carbon difference between the non-treatment and treatment scenarios was then calculated to quantify the effect of fuel treatments. Overall, the results show that the carbon loss from implementing fuel reduction treatments exceeded the expected carbon benefit associated with lowered burn probabilities and reduced fire severity on the treated landscape. Thus, fuel management activities resulted in an expected net loss of carbon immediately after treatment. However, the findings represent a point in time estimate (wildfire immediately after treatments), and a temporal analysis with a probabilistic framework used here is needed to model carbon dynamics over the life cycle of the fuel treatments. Of particular importance is the long-term balance between emissions from the decay of dead trees killed by fire and carbon sequestration by forest regeneration following wildfire. C1 [Ager, A.

Infectivity as rated by a gall index was significantly reduced on both G. max and C. annuum. In C. annuum, nematode egg masses were recovered from 48% of the plants inoculated with BITC-treated J2 compared with 98% for the controls, and egg mass scores were reduced. Egg mass production was reduced in C. annuum by 69% and mean total eggs/plant was reduced by 97% in G. max. When plants were inoculated with treated J2, two measures of plant health, root weight and shoot weight, were reduced in C. annuum but not in G. max. However, root and shoot weights were not correlated with egg production for either host plant, irrespective of treatment. There were strong interactions between egg production, as measured by mean total eggs/plant (G. max) or mean total eggs/egg mass (C. annuum), and hatching of J2 from eggs obtained from all combinations of plant host and J2 treatment. Hatch of J2 from eggs obtained from G. max was significantly lower when plants had been inoculated with BITC-treated J2 than when plants had been inoculated with control J2. Such effects were not observed with C. annuum. BITC may have important residual consequences on the progeny of M. incognita not directly exposed to the chemical.

An increased zinc concentration can initiate the deposition of A beta. The present study aimed to study the expression and distribution patterns of six members of the zinc transporter (ZnT) family, ZnT1, ZnT3, ZnT4, ZnT5, ZnT6, and ZnT7, in the APPswe/PS1dE9 transgenic mouse brain. Our results demonstrated a statistically significant (P<0.05) increase of ZnT1, ZnT3, ZnT4, ZnT6, and ZnT7 in both hippocampus and neocortex using Western blot method and an abundant distribution of zinc ions in the plaques and amyloid angiopathic vessels using immersion autometallography. Furthermore, all ZnT immunoreactions were detected in most amyloid plaques and amyloid angiopathic vessels. ZnT1 and ZnT4 were extensively expressed in all parts of the plaques. ZnT3, ZnT5, and ZnT6 were expressed most prominently in the degenerating neurites in the peripheral part of the plaques, while ZnT7 was present in the core of the plaques. The amyloid angiopathic vessels showed a strong ZnT3 immunoreactivity. These results might suggest multiple roles of ZnTs in the deposition and organization of the A beta composition.

They have been associated with the regulation of such diverse processes as hindgut contraction, diuresis and the release of digestive enzymes. In this chapter, the chemical, conformational and stereochemical aspects of the activity of the insect kinins with expressed receptors and/or biological assays are reviewed. With this information, biostable analogs are designed that protect peptidase-susceptible sites in the insect kinin sequence and demonstrate significant retention of activity on both receptor and biological assays. The identification of the most critical residue of the insect kinins for receptor interaction is used to select a scaffold for a recombinant library that leads to identification of a nonpeptide mimetic analog. C-terminal aldehyde insect kinin analogs modify the activity of the insect kinins leading to inhibition of weight gain and mortality in corn earworm larvae and selective inhibition of diuresis in the housefly. Strategies for the modification of insect neuropeptide structures for the enhancement of the topical and oral bioavailability of insect neuropeptides and the promotion of time-release from the cuticle and/or foregut are reviewed. Promising mimetic analog leads for the development of selective agents capable of disrupting insect kinin regulated processes are identified that may provide interesting tools for arthropod endocrinologists and new pest insect management strategies in the future.

These forests develop naturally after deforestation, agricultural use and land abandonment, and there are many questions as to their ecological characteristics. We sampled structure and species composition of large, small, and juvenile trees (a parts per thousand yen10, a parts per thousand yen2.5 to < 10, and < 2.5 cm diameter at breast height, respectively) in nine secondary forests dominated by S. campanulata on alluvial, karst, and volcanic substrates in northcentral Puerto Rico. No differences were found in S. campanulata forest structure between substrates. Of a total of 79 species found, 17 were introduced. Forests on karst and alluvium had the highest and lowest global species richness, respectively. Species richness increased from large to small to juvenile trees in most sites, but more so on karst. The percentage of introduced species was inversely related to species richness of tree size classes on all substrate types. The dominance of S. campanulata in the large tree size class was highest and lowest in alluvial and volcanic sites, respectively, and decreased from large to small to juvenile trees on all substrate types. Species richness of S. campanulata forests is lower than that of native forests on equivalent substrates. Although land use history affects composition, the juvenile tree species established in S. campanulata forests seems to correspond to the geological substrate were sites are found. This study shows S. campanulata restores forest structure and native tree species on abandoned agriculture and grazing lands in Puerto Rico. Management of these novel forests should consider them as resources were natural processes have the potential of making them more diverse. C1 [Martinez, Oscar J.

A flux-partitioning algorithm was applied to fit the photosynthesis model to net ecosystem exchange data for 12 evergreen coniferous forests from northern temperate and boreal regions. The model accounted for much of the variation in photosynthetic production, with modeling efficiencies (mean > 67%) similar to those of more complex models. The parameter describing the rate of acclimation was larger at the northern sites, leading to a slower acclimation of photosynthesis to temperature. The response of the rates of photosynthesis to air temperature in spring was delayed up to several days at the coldest sites. Overall photosynthesis acclimation processes were slower at colder, northern locations than at warmer, more southern, and more maritime sites. Consequently, slow changes in photosynthetic capacity were essential to explaining variations of photosynthesis for colder boreal forests (i.e. where acclimation of photosynthesis to temperature was slower), whereas the importance of these processes was minor in warmer conifer evergreen forests.
