TI Effect of sericea lespedeza leaf meal pellets on adult female Haemonchus contortus in goats SO VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Condensed tannins; Goats; Haemonchus contortus; Scanning electron microscopy; Sericea lespedeza ID GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODE INFECTION; TANNIN-RICH PLANTS; CONDENSED TANNINS; PARASITIC NEMATODES; ANIMAL NUTRITION; IN-VITRO; CUNEATA; SHEEP; HAY; RESISTANCE AB Sericea lespedeza (SL; Lespedeza cuneata) is a perennial warm-season forage rich in condensed tannins (CT) that has been reported to have anthelmintic activity against small ruminant gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), particularly Haemonchus contortus, a highly pathogenic blood-feeder, but the mechanism of action of CT against H. contortus is not clearly understood. An experiment with young goats was designed to study the effect of SL leaf meal pellets on (1) a mature H. contortus infection, and (2) the surface appearance of adult H. contortus female worms. Thirty-six female and castrated male Boer crossbred goats artificially infected with H. contortus larvae were fed 75% SL leaf meal pellets or alfalfa pellets (18 goats/treatment group) in a 28-day confinement feeding trial. Fecal and blood samples were collected weekly for fecal egg count (FEC) and packed cell volume (PCV) determination, respectively, and all goats were slaughtered at the end of the trial for adult GIN recovery and counting. Five adult female H. contortus were recovered from the abomasum of two goats from each treatment group and from a prior study in which 75% and 95% SL leaf meal pellets or a commercial feed pellet were group-fed to grazing goats (270 days old, Spanish males, 10/treatment group) at 0.91 kg/head/d for 11 weeks. Adult GIN collected were fixed and examined for evidence of surface damage using scanning electron microscopy. Feeding 75% SL pellets to young goats in confinement reduced (P<0.05) FEC compared with control animals, while total worm numbers and PCV were not influenced by treatment. Three out of the 5 adult H. contortus recovered from SL treatment goats in the confinement feeding trial had cuticular surface damage, while no damage was observed on worms from the control group. All five worms observed from both SL treatments in the grazing study showed a shrunken, disheveled cuticular surface, whereas this was not observed on worms from control animals. Overall, this work suggests that a possible mechanism of action of SL against female H. contortus in the animal's abomasum is a direct action of CT on the cuticle of the worm. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

TI Cellulose nanocrystal/polyolefin biocomposites prepared by solid-state shear pulverization: Superior dispersion leading to synergistic property enhancements SO POLYMER LA English DT Article DE Cellulose nanocrystals; Composites; Polyolefins ID REINFORCED POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES; POLYMER BLEND COMPATIBILIZATION; LAYERED SILICATE NANOCOMPOSITES; BEAD-FILLED POLYPROPYLENE; TEMPO-MEDIATED OXIDATION; PINEAPPLE LEAF FIBER; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; THERMAL-PROPERTIES; POLYVINYL-ALCOHOL; GREEN-COMPOSITES AB Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), a class of renewable bionanomaterials with excellent mechanical properties, have gained major interest as filler for polymers. However, challenges associated with effective CNC dispersion have hindered the production of composites with desired property enhancements. Here, composites of polypropylene (PP) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) with 5-10 wt% unmodified CNC are produced for the first time via a solventless process. In particular, we employ solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP). Optical and electron microscopy reveals excellent CNC dispersion with strongly suppressed degradation relative to composites made by melt mixing. Effective dispersion leads to major increases in Young's modulus, including a 69% increase in 90/10 wt% LDPE/CNC composites relative to neat LDPE, the highest modulus enhancement ever reported for polyolefin/CNC composites. The composites also exhibit superior creep performance with modest increment in yield strength compared to neat polymer. The LDPE/CNC composites retain elongation at break values that are equal to that of neat polymer while a decrease is observed with PP/CNC composites. The CNC thermal degradation temperature in air is close to that of PP melt processing conditions. We hypothesize that during melt-processing CNCs undergo preferential thermo-oxidative degradation in LDPE and simultaneous degradation in PP. Thus, CNC incorporation results in impaired thermal stability in LDPE and, especially, PP. Care must be taken in selecting the post-SSSP melt processing temperature and residence time in order to suppress degradation. Taking that into account, this study has produced polyolefin/CNC composites with superior dispersion and property enhancements and shown that CNC is an attractive filler for green polymer biocomposites.

Acute, but not latent, MDV infection has previously been shown to lead to downregulation of cell-surface MHC class I (Virology 282:198-205 (2001)), but the gene(s) involved have not been identified. Here we demonstrate that an MDV gene, MDV012, is capable of reducing surface expression of MHC class I on chicken cells. Co-expression of an MHC class l-binding peptide targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (bypassing the requirement for the TAP peptide transporter) partially rescued MHC class I expression in the presence of MDV012, suggesting that MDV012 is a TAP-blocking MHC class I immune evasion protein. This is the first unique non-mammalian MHC class I immune evasion gene identified, and suggests that alpha-herpesviruses have conserved this function for at least 100 million years.

TI Itraconazole treatment reduces Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis prevalence and increases overwinter field survival in juvenile Cascades frogs SO DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS LA English DT Article DE Rana cascadae; Chytridiomycosis; Amphibian; Declines ID TIME TAQMAN PCR; AMPHIBIAN-CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS; CLINICAL-TRIALS; RANA-CASCADAE; DISEASE; EXTINCTION; METAMORPHOSIS; POPULATIONS; DIAGNOSIS; TADPOLES AB The global spread of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has led to widespread extirpation of amphibian populations. During an intervention aimed at stabilizing at-risk populations, we treated wild-caught Cascades frogs Rana cascadae with the antifungal drug itraconazole. In fall 2012, we collected 60 recently metamorphosed R. cascadae from 1 of the 11 remnant populations in the Cascades Mountains (CA, USA). Of these, 30 randomly selected frogs were treated with itraconazole and the other 30 frogs served as experimental controls; all were released at the capture site. Bd prevalence was low at the time of treatment and did not differ between treated frogs and controls immediately following treatment. Following release, Bd prevalence gradually increased in controls but not in treated frogs, with noticeable (but still nonsignificant) differences 3 wk after treatment (27% [4/15] vs. 0% [0/13]) and strong differences 5 wk after treatment (67% [8/12] vs. 13% [1/8]). We did not detect any differences in Bd prevalence and load between experimental controls and untreated wild frogs during this time period. In spring 2013, we recaptured 7 treated frogs but none of the experimental control frogs, suggesting that over-winter survival was higher for treated frogs. The itraconazole treatment did appear to reduce growth rates: treated frogs weighed 22% less than control frogs 3 wk after treatment (0.7 vs. 0.9 g) and were 9% shorter than control frogs 5 wk after treatment (18.4 vs. 20.2 mm). However, for critically small populations, increased survival of the most at-risk life stage could prevent or delay extinction. Our results show that itraconazole treatment can be effective against Bd infection in wild amphibians, and therefore the beneficial effects on survivorship may outweigh the detrimental effects on growth.

TI Species composition influences management outcomes following mountain pine beetle in lodgepole pine-dominated forests SO FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Bark beetles; Mountain pine beetle; Fuel management; Lodgepole pine; Subalpine fir; Rocky mountains ID MIXED-CONIFER FOREST; POTENTIAL FIRE BEHAVIOR; COARSE WOODY DEBRIS; FUEL TREATMENT; CROWN FIRE; YELLOWSTONE FIRES; ROCKY-MOUNTAINS; PRESCRIBED FIRE; TREE MORTALITY; BLACK-HILLS AB Mountain pine beetle outbreaks have killed lodgepole pine on more than one million hectares of Colorado and southern Wyoming forest during the last decade and have prompted harvest operations throughout the region. In northern Colorado, lodgepole pine commonly occurs in mixed stands with subalpine fir, Engelmann spruce, and aspen. Variation in tree species composition will influence structure, fuel profiles and fire hazard as forests recover from bark beetle outbreaks, and this diversity has implications for design and implementation of fuel reduction treatments. We used stand inventory data to predict forest structure and fuel loads starting after needle fall through one century after bark beetle infestation for three lodgepole pine-dominated forest types (pine, pine with aspen, pine with fir and spruce), and compared simulated effects of no-action and fuel reduction treatments (thinning, broadcast burning). In pine stands mixed with significant density of fir and spruce, the high canopy bulk density and low canopy base height increases passive and active crown fire hazards compared to stands with few shade tolerant trees. In contrast, stands of pine mixed with aspen had lower canopy bulk density and active crown fire hazard. All three forest types had high snag and coarse woody debris loads. Thinning and broadcast burning reduced canopy fuels in all forest types for several decades, but had the largest effect in forests with abundant fir. Burning temporarily reduced fine woody fuel, and caused a longer-term reduction in coarse wood and duff. Overall, these simulations indicate that management aimed at reducing canopy fuels in beetle-killed lodgepole pine forests should prioritize stands with high densities of overstory and under-story fir and spruce. Forest growth following treatment requires frequent stand manipulation (as often as every 20 years) to maintain reduced fuel loads, and since such treatments are expensive and likely not analogous to natural disturbances these activities are most appropriate where resource and infrastructure protection and human safety concerns are high.

Insect epidemics, wildfires, and timber harvest have greatly affected North American C budgets in the last century. Research is needed to understand how forest C dynamics (source duration and recovery time) following disturbance vary as a function of disturbance type, severity, forest type, and initial C stocks. We used the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) to simulate total C stocks (excluding soil) for 100 years following three types of disturbance (fire, harvest, and insects) with four levels of severity. We initiated the model using empirical data from a large representative sample of forest conditions on the national forest ownership in the Rocky Mountain region (Forest Inventory and Analysis data). Unlike analyses based on stand age, an ambiguous quantity with respect to disturbance history, our approach enables explicit consideration of disturbance type and severity, as well as pre-disturbance forest C. On average, stands became a C sink after fire in 5, 6, 14, and 23 years for low to high-severity fire. Pre-fire C stocks were reached 25-55 years later. Following bark beetle epidemics, on average stands continued to be a C source for 10 years longer than fire and up to 40 years longer in some cases, but pre-disturbance C stocks were reached in a similar amount of time. C stocks following harvest showed the largest initial decline, but on average stands became a sink sooner at 1, 5, 15, and 12 years post-harvest for low to high-severity harvests. Differences in C dynamics based on disturbance type and severity, initial conditions, and forest type demonstrate the importance of considering this variability when modeling forest C dynamics. The regionally averaged models of C response quantified in this study can be combined with remotely sensed data on disturbance type and severity and used with C accounting approaches that rely on growth and yield or state and transition models.

Canopy disturbances are often classified along a gradient ranging from highly localized, gap-scale events to stand-replacing events. Wind storms such as downbursts, derechos, and low intensity tornadoes typically result in disturbance that would fall near the center of this gradient and result in intermediate-scale disturbances. Despite their frequency and widespread occurrence, relatively little is known about how intermediate-scale disturbances influence stand development and succession. On 20 April 2011, the Sipsey Wilderness in Alabama was affected by an EF1 tornado with accompanying straight-line winds. In the third growing season after the disturbance, stands were sampled in a stratified subjective sampling design to evaluate the effects of intermediate-scale wind disturbance on structural and successional development of Quercus stands. We established 109 0.04 ha plots across a gradient of disturbance grouped into three classes, control (considered to represent pre-disturbance conditions using a space-for-time substitution), light, and moderate categories, to examine the effect of the intermediate-scale wind disturbance. Basal area was reduced from 25.7 m(2) ha(-1) to 23.7 m(2) ha(-1) and 153 m(2) ha(-1) for light and moderate disturbance classes, respectively. Logistic regression revealed an increasing probability of mortality during wind disturbance with increasing tree diameter. This intermediate-scale disturbance increased intra-stand heterogeneity and altered the developmental pathway. The stands did not structurally resemble one of the four widely accepted stages of stand development. The disturbance also accelerated succession and released shade-tolerant taxa that were established in midstory and understory strata prior the event. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Demographic response of a shrubland bird to habitat creation, succession, and disturbance in a dynamic landscape SO FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Early-successional; Management; Pitch pine-scrub oak; Prairie warbler; Reproductive success; Site fidelity ID NORTHEASTERN UNITED-STATES; BREEDING DISPERSAL; REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS; FOREST FRAGMENTATION; INTERPATCH MOVEMENTS; TIMBER HARVEST; SITE FIDELITY; USA; BUNTINGS; WARBLERS AB Shrubland birds have experienced widespread declines in the eastern United States. Habitat for shrubland birds is typically dynamic, in which available habitat changes temporally and spatially in response to disturbance and succession. Despite widespread concerns among conservationists about shrubland birds, much is still poorly understood regarding fundamental demographic processes associated with the persistence of species in dynamic landscapes, such as the age of colonists, their success upon establishment, the fate of birds displaced by disturbance, and the effect of displaced birds on neighboring territories. To address these knowledge gaps, we studied prairie warblers (Setophaga discolor) between 2008 and 2012 in a pitch pine-scrub oak (Pinus rigida Quercus ilicifolia) barren consisting of newly created, maturing, and disturbed habitat patches. We found that newly created habitat patches were colonized primarily by younger, second-year males, whereas slightly older shrubland habitat was occupied by site-faithful older birds. Second-year males arrived later on the breeding grounds and had slightly lower pairing success compared to older males; however, they had similar reproductive output as older males. Based on mark-resight analyses, we calculated that 72% of adult males and 14% of banded nestlings returned to the study site in a following year. When territories were subject to high-intensity mowing, fire, or selective herbicide during the non-breeding season, only 14% of the males that returned to the study site stayed on their territories the following year. These returning males that acquired a territory within the study area had similar reproductive success to other birds in the study area and did not negatively affect the pairing or reproductive success of birds occupying adjacent areas. Disturbed territories made up a relatively small portion of the suitable habitat in the study area and disturbance affected a low number of territorial males in any given year. Overall, we found that the short-term effects of shrubland management and habitat disturbance on birds are minimal and subsequently allow young birds to colonize and breed. Moreover, the long-term effects of management are beneficial by maintaining ephemeral shrubland habitat for immigrating and site-faithful birds. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Post-fire forest dynamics and climate variability affect spatial and temporal properties of spruce beetle outbreaks on a Sky Island mountain range SO FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Dendroctonus rufipennis; Fire exclusion; Drought; Mixed-conifer; Temperature; Dendrochronology ID SUB-ALPINE FOREST; MIXED-CONIFER FORESTS; WESTERN UNITED-STATES; BALSAM BARK BEETLE; ROCKY-MOUNTAINS; FIRE HISTORY; COLEOPTERA-CURCULIONIDAE; DISTURBANCE INTERACTIONS; PINALENO MOUNTAINS; PICEA-ENGELMANNII AB The spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) is known for extensive outbreaks resulting in high spruce mortality, but several recent outbreaks in the western United States have been among the largest and most severe in the documentary record. In the Pinaleno Mountains of southeast Arizona, U.S.A., an outbreak in the mid-1990s resulted in 85% mortality of Engelmann spruce >7 cm diameter. To put this outbreak into historical perspective, we used dendrochronology to examine the effects of host species' distribution and growth rates on spruce beetle outbreak initiation, frequency and size over three centuries. We used multiproxy records of understory spruce growth release, snag death dates, failed attack scars, and historical records to identify 12 distinct outbreak events over a 319-year period of reconstruction. Outbreaks were defined by spatial criteria, affecting 25% or more of sites, instead of mortality-based criteria that could not be assessed in older outbreak events. We also tested outbreak associations with summer temperature and spring drought as they relate to thresholds associated with larval development and host stress, respectively. In the decades following fire exclusion in adjacent mixed-conifer forest, the area occupied by Engelmann spruce and corkbark fir doubled in size, coinciding with the first widespread outbreaks in the reconstructed period and a doubling of outbreak duration. Outbreaks lagged spruce establishment by 40-90 years depending on forest type and time since fire, and were correlated significantly with several years of antecedent warm summer temperatures followed by up to a decade of persistent spring drought. Mean annual growth increment, a factor associated with host susceptibility, was significantly higher in recently colonized mixed-conifer forest than in historically spruce- and fir-dominated sites. Increasing size and severity of outbreaks appears to have been influenced by host range expansion due to fire exclusion, coupled with increasing incidence of warm summer temperatures associated with persistent spring water stress. The Combined effects of expansion of spruce into mixed-conifer forest and climatic trend toward warmer, drier conditions have the potential to promote extensive spruce beetle outbreaks across the host range of the western United States.

TI Pile burning creates a fifty-year legacy of openings in regenerating lodgepole pine forests in Colorado SO FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Forest disturbance; forest management; Fire effects; Soil disturbance; Site preparation; Prescribed fire ID BEETLE INFESTATION; SLASH; SOIL; FIRE; TEXTURE; IMPACTS; STANDS AB Pile burning is a common means of disposing the woody residues of logging and for post-harvest site preparation operations, in spite of the practice's potential negative effects. To examine the long-term implications of this practice we established a 50-year sequence of pile burns within recovering clear cuts in lodgepole pine forests. We compared tree, shrub and herbaceous plant abundance and documented indicators of soil degradation in openings where logging residue was piled and burned as part of post-harvest site preparation and the adjacent forests regenerating after clear cutting. We found that pile burning creates persistent 10-15 m diameter openings with lower tree densities (<500 trees ha(-1); stems >2.54 cm diameter at 1.4 m height) compared to surrounding regenerating pine stands (2000-5000 trees ha(-1)). Low tree seedling and sapling densities (stems <2.54 cm diameter at 1.4 m height) in the openings (10-20% of regenerating forest), suggest they will remain poorly-stocked into the future. We observed evidence of high severity burning, including layers of soil charcoal and hardened red soil across the time series, but no sign that water infiltration, compaction or other indicators of soil degradation were consistent barriers to plant recolonization. Forb and graminoid cover, for example, was higher in the burn scar openings compared to regenerating forests. Pile burn openings are formed by the loss of pine seed during burning and short-term soil changes, but it is uncertain what factors maintain the openings during subsequent decades. As conducted for site preparation, the herbaceous plant-dominated openings are not extensive (<5% cover within clear cut units), and we found few invasive, non-native plants and no indication that soil conditions were sufficiently altered to explain 50 years of poor tree regeneration. Nevertheless, persistence of the openings and recent increases in the number and size of piles from fuels and bark beetle salvage treatments has prompted resource managers to consider options for utilization and on-site retention of harvest residue.

Conservation agriculture represents a set of three crop management principles that has received strong international support to help address this challenge(5,6), with recent conservation agriculture efforts focusing on smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia(7). However, conservation agriculture is highly debated, with respect to both its effects on crop yields(8-10) and its applicability in different farming contexts(7,11-13). Here we conduct a global meta-analysis using 5,463 paired yield observations from 610 studies to compare no-till, the original and central concept of conservation agriculture, with conventional tillage practices across 48 crops and 63 countries. Overall, our results show that no-till reduces yields, yet this response is variable and under certain conditions no-till can produce equivalent or greater yields than conventional tillage. Importantly, when no-till is combined with the other two conservation agriculture principles of residue retention and crop rotation, its negative impacts are minimized. Moreover, no-till in combination with the other two principles significantly increases rainfed crop productivity in dry climates, suggesting that it may become an important climate-change adaptation strategy for ever-drier regions of the world. However, any expansion of conservation agriculture should be done with caution in these areas, as implementation of the other two principles is often challenging in resource-poor and vulnerable smallholder farming systems, thereby increasing the likelihood of yield losses rather than gains. Although farming systems are multifunctional, and environmental and socio-economic factors need to be considered(14-16), our analysis indicates that the potential contribution of no-till to the sustainable intensification of agriculture is more limited than often assumed.

CO2 measurements were made over four adjacent fields of differing surface vegetation. The data illustrate the role of atmospheric intermittency as a mechanism for transferring CO2 between the surface and the atmosphere. At night, limited atmospheric mixing permits CO2 concentrations to increase to levels well above those conventionally reported (exceeding a spatial average of 450 ppm on some nights), but these high levels are moderated by a periodic intermittency that appears similar to that observed elsewhere and often associated with the presence of strong, synoptic-scale winds aloft (especially low-level jets). The availability of CO2 data with adequate time resolution facilitates investigation of the general behavior, which is suspected to be a common although rarely observed feature of the lower terrestrial atmosphere. If true, this means that the nocturnal vertical transfer of momentum, heat and mass is not solely through a constrained spectral continuum of turbulence as much as by intermittent bursts, propagating from above and penetrating the surface boundary layer.

TI Improving potato drought simulations: Assessing water stress factors using a coupled model SO AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article DE Crop modeling; Drought; Potato; Water use efficiency; Gas exchange; Carbon partitioning ID STOMATAL CONDUCTANCE; GAS-EXCHANGE; CARBON-DIOXIDE; LEAVES; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; CROP; GROWTH; IRRIGATION; LEAF; TRANSPIRATION AB Effective water management is important for drought sensitive crops like potato (Solanum tuberosum L). Crop simulation models are well suited for evaluating water limited responses in order to provide management and phenotypic-trait recommendations for more efficient production practice. There is considerable variation in how water stress components are implemented with regards to simulating soil, plant, and atmospheric relationships, thereby influencing the utility of model recommendations. Four water-stress factors were developed and implemented in the potato model SPUDIM in order to assess the contribution each factor provided for improving modeling accuracy. Iterative comparisons versus experimental data consisting of six irrigation treatments were used. Factors included F1, shifts in carbon allocation among shoot and root organs based on soil moisture availability, F2, coupled response of leaf water potential on leaf expansion, F3, and on stomatal conductance, and F4, increased tuber sink strength. F2 and F3 accounted for up to 88% of the improvement in root mean square error for total biomass. However, F1 and F4 were necessary to accurately simulate yield. F4 was also required to reproduce trends of increasing water-use efficiency and harvest index with declines in water availability. When the full 4-factor model was considered, simulated responses for total, leaf, stem, and tuber dry weights were within 11% of observed values. Daily comparisons for whole plant net photosynthesis and evapotranspiration indicated F3 was required to accurately simulate water use, but was too sensitive to very low leaf water potentials. The calibration coefficients used in the model remained stable over all six irrigation treatments, suggesting the full model can be utilized to evaluate water management strategies for potato.

TI Quantitation of protein S-glutathionylation by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry: Correction for contaminating glutathione and glutathione disulfide SO ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Protein; Glutathione; Disulfide; LC-MS/MS; Glutathionylation ID ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION; ELECTROSPRAY-IONIZATION; REDUCED GLUTATHIONE; BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES; HUMAN PLASMA; WHOLE-BLOOD; HPLC; DERIVATIZATION; CYSTEINE; ASSAY AB Protein S-glutathionylation is a posttranslational modification that links oxidative stimuli to reversible changes in cellular function. Protein-glutathione mixed disulfide (PSSG) is commonly quantified by reduction of the disulfide and detection of the resultant glutathione species. This methodology is susceptible to contamination by free unreacted cellular glutathione (GSH) species, which are present in 1000-fold greater concentration. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based method was developed for quantification of glutathione and glutathione disulfide (GSSG), which was used for the determination of PSSG in biological samples. Analysis of rat liver samples demonstrated that GSH and GSSG coprecipitated with proteins similar to the range for PSSG in the sample. The use of [C-13(2),N-5]GSH and [C-13(4),N-5(2)]GSSG validated these results and demonstrated that the release of GSH from PSSG did not occur during sample preparation and analysis. These data demonstrate that GSH and GSSG contamination must be accounted for when determining PSSG content in cellular/tissue preparations. A protocol for rinsing samples to remove the adventitious glutathione species is demonstrated. The fragmentation patterns for glutathione were determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry, and candidate ions for detection of PSSG on protein and protein fragments were identified.

However, the instability of AITC in aqueous systems restrains its applications. In this study, oil-in-water AITC nanoemulsion was prepared by the emulsion inversion point (EIP) method, aiming at improving the aqueous stability of AITC. The optimal hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLBop) value of surfactants containing Tween 80 and Span 80 was established at 11.0-13.0, yielding nanodroplets with diameters of 137-215 nm. The mechanism of droplet formation within the HLPop region was discussed in terms of the possible structure of adsorbed surfactant layers at the oil-water interface in multiple emulsion droplets. In a 6.5-month storage test, the droplet sizes and the count rates (intensity of scattered light) of nanoemulsions decreased only slightly by 4-13% (depending on surfactant-to-oil ratio), even in highly diluted status, indicating the desirable stability of the nanoemulsions. Moreover, the nanoemulsion demonstrated superior protection against AITC degradation (78% remaining after 60 d at 30 degrees C), compared with protein nanoparticles as well as non-encapsulated aqueous dispersion. This work shows for the first time that AITC can be formulated into nanoemulsions and thus obtains satisfactory aqueous solubility and chemical stability. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

To investigate the effect of cantharidin on the Arabidopsis proteome, a combination of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI/TOF) mass spectrometry was employed for protein profiling. Multivariate statistical analysis identified 75 significant differential spots corresponding to 59 distinct cantharidin-responsive proteins, which were representative of different biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions categories. The majority of identified proteins localized in the chloroplast had a significantly decreased presence, especially proteins involved in photosynthesis. Detoxification enzymes, especially glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs), were the most upregulated group (ca. 1.5-to 3.3-fold). Given that the primary role of GSTs is involved in the process of detoxification of both xenobiotic and endobiotic compounds, the induction of GSTs suggests that cantharidin promoted inhibition of PPPs may lead to defense-like responses through regulation of GST enzymes as well as other metabolic pathways.

These results showed the feasibility of using the portable spectrometer to predict the sucrose content of beet slices. Using simple correlation analysis, the study also identified important wavelengths that had strong correlation with the sucrose content. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Accurate varietal identification is essential for germplasm management and breeding. Using longan transcriptome sequences from public databases, we developed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers; validated 60 SNPs in 50 longan germplasm accessions, including cultivated varieties and wild germplasm; and designated 25 SNP markers that unambiguously identified all tested longan varieties with high statistical rigor (P<0.0001). Multiple trees from the same clone were verified and off-type trees were identified. Diversity analysis revealed genetic relationships among analyzed accessions. Cultivated varieties differed significantly from wild populations (Fst=0.300; P<0.001), demonstrating untapped genetic diversity for germplasm conservation and utilization. Within cultivated varieties, apparent differences between varieties from China and those from Thailand and Hawaii indicated geographic patterns of genetic differentiation. These SNP markers provide a powerful tool to manage longan genetic resources and breeding, with accurate and efficient genotype identification.

As a class, they have broad substrate specificity and are associated with browning of produce and other plant materials. Because PPOs are often induced by wounding or pathogen attack, they are most generally believed to play important roles in plant defense responses. However, a few well-characterized PPOs appear to have very specific roles in the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites via both tyrosinase (monophenol oxidase) and catechol oxidase activities. Here we detail a few examples of these and explore the possibility that there may be many more "biosynthetic" PPOs. C1 ARS, US Dairy Forage Res Ctr, USDA, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

TI Exergy Based Assessment of the Production and Conversion of Switchgrass, Equine Waste, and Forest Residue to Bio-Oil Using Fast Pyrolysis SO INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT; BIOMASS; ETHANOL; ENERGY; CONSUMPTION; EFFICIENCY; BIODIESEL; SYSTEMS; PLANTS; FUELS AB The resource efficiency of biofuel production via biomass pyrolysis is evaluated using exergy as an assessment metric. Three feedstocks, important to various sectors of U.S. agriculture, switchgrass, forest residue, and equine waste, are considered for conversion to bio-oil (pyrolysis oil) via fast pyrolysis, a process that has been identified as adaptable to on- or near-farm application. Biomass and biofuel production pathways are defined, material flows are determined, and exergy in- and outflows associated with biomass production and conversion are computed, including the depletion of exergy from its natural state (cumulative exergy demand, CExD). Sources of exergy depletion are quantified and categorized by energy carriers, e.g., electricity and diesel fuel, and materials, e.g., fertilizer, as well as renewable and nonrenewable resources. Yields for biomass to bio-oil conversion by fast pyrolysis are determined experimentally. Breeding factors, a measure of exergy production (the ratio of the chemical exergy of the output product to process exergy inputs), are determined for the production of biomass and bio-oil. The quantification of exergy depletion for process pathways enables the possible identification of more sustainable (resource efficient) pathways for biomass and bio-oil production. It is shown, for example, that feedstocks grown primarily for biomass such as switchgrass may be less sustainable using the exergy measure compared to use of residue (e.g., forest thinnings) or waste biomass (e.g., equine waste). With regard to the pyrolysis process, there is substantial reduction in exergy depletion when the coproducts noncondensable gases and biochar are recycled and utilized as a source of heat. The sustainability of biomass production and conversion, as measured by exergy depletion, is strongly influenced by energy carriers. The study reveals that the method of electricity production, i.e., on-site generation or grid electricity, as well as the choice of grid electricity can have a significant impact on sustainability. The exergy content of the bio-oil produced varies from 24 to 27 MJ/kg bio-oil, which is much lower than traditional fuels. However, the cumulative exergy depletion for the production and conversion to bio-oil varies from approximately 4 to 11 MJ/kg bio-oil, which is also much lower than traditional fuels. Breeding factors for biomass production and conversion to bio-oil based on cumulative exergy depletion vary from approximately 2 to 5, demonstrating the potential exergy benefit of bio-oil production using fast pyrolysis.

Covalent binding between BLG and catechin were confirmed with SDS-PAGE and ESI-MS. About 93% of beta-lactoglobulin was conjugated with catechin or catecin fragments according to the gel intensity analysis software. Far-UV CD results showed that the content of beta-sheet decreased with a corresponding increase in unordered structures after grafting. Both nanoemulsions with mean particle size between 160 and 170 nm were prepared. Both the rate of particle growth and the total beta-carotene (BC) loss at 50 degrees C were significantly greater than at 4 and 25 degrees C. The retention rates of BC in nanoemulsions were 27.8% and 48.6% for BLG and BLG-catechin conjugates, respectively, after 30 days of storage at 50 degrees C. The BC retention encapsulated in nanoemulsion was significantly improved using BLG-catechin conjugates, compared with BLG alone. The increase of BC retention in nanoemulsions encapsulated with BLG-catechin conjugates was due to the significant improvement of antioxidative properties (reducing power, free radical scavenging activity, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity) of BLG after covalent binding with catechin. The results indicated that the proteins modified with polyphenols can be widely used in a labile bioactive compounds encapsulation delivery system.

Our objectives in this study, therefore, were to evaluate the performance of stratified bait distribution models derived from resource selection functions (RSF) on uptake of placebo rabies baits by raccoons (Procyon lotor) and Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana), as well as the probability of bait uptake as a function of proximity to bait distribution areas in fragmented agricultural ecosystems. Among 478 raccoons and 108 opossums evaluated for presence of Rhodamine B (RB) across 8 sites, only 26% of raccoons and 20% of opossums exhibited marking consistent with bait consumption 14-24 days post-baiting. The effective area treated, based on 90% kernel density estimators of marked individuals, ranged from 99-240 ha larger than bait distribution zones, with RB marked individuals captured up to 753m beyond the bait zone. Despite incorporation of RSF data into bait distribution models, no differences in uptake rates were observed between treatment and control sites. These data likely reflect the underlying constraints imposed by the loss and fragmentation of habitat on animal movement in heterogeneous landscapes, forcing individuals to optimize movements at coarse (i.e., patch-level) rather than fine spatial scales in highly fragmented environments. Our data also confirm that the probability of bait acceptance decreases with increasing distance from bait zone interiors, even within the zone itself. Thus, although bait acceptance was confirmed beyond bait zone boundaries, the proportion of vaccinated individuals may comprise a small minority of the population at increasing distances from baiting interiors. These data suggest focal baiting creates a buffered area of treated individuals around bait zones or bait stations, but repeated treatments may be needed to achieve sufficient uptake to eradicate disease.

SO FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Barro Colorado Island; germination cue; physical dormancy; pioneer plants; seed dormancy loss; seed persistence; soil seed bank ID RAIN-FOREST; RECRUITMENT LIMITATION; SEEDLING SURVIVAL; CLIMATE-CHANGE; GERMINATION; DIVERSITY; LIGHT; TEMPERATURE; DISPERSAL; DYNAMICS AB Germination from the soil seed bank (SSB) is an important determinant of species composition in tropical forest gaps, with seed persistence in the SSB allowing trees to recruit even decades after dispersal. The capacity to form a persistent SSB is often associated with physical dormancy, where seed coats are impermeable at the time of dispersal. Germination literature often speculates, without empirical evidence, that dormancy-break in physically dormant seeds is the result of microbial action and/or abrasion by soil particles. We tested the microbial/soil abrasion hypothesis in four widely distributed neotropical pioneer tree species (Apeiba membranacea, Luehea seemannii, Ochroma pyramidale, and Cochlospermum vitifolium). Seeds were buried in five common gardens in a lowland tropical forest in Panama, and recovered at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after burial. Seed permeability, microbial infection, seed coat thickness, and germination were measured. Parallel experiments compared the germination fraction of fresh and aged seeds without soil contact, and in seeds as a function of seed permeability. Contrary to the microbial/soil abrasion hypothesis the proportion of permeable seeds, and of seeds infected by cultivable microbes, decreased as a function of burial duration. Furthermore, seeds stored in dark and dry conditions for 2 years showed a higher proportion of seed germination than fresh seeds in identical germination conditions. We determined that permeable seeds of A. membranacea and O. pyramidale had cracks in the chalazal area or lacked the chalazal plug, whereas all surfaces of impermeable seeds were intact. Our results are inconsistent with the microbial/soil abrasion hypothesis of dormancy loss and instead suggest the existence of multiple dormancy phenotypes, where a fraction of each seed cohort is dispersed in a permeable state and germinates immediately, while the impermeable seed fraction accounts for the persistent SSB. Thus, we conclude that fluctuations in the soil temperature in the absence of soil abrasion and microbial infection are sufficient to break physical dormancy on seeds of tropical pioneer trees.

Potential limitations of all three approaches are recognized. Here we address the congruence among these three main approaches by comparing the degree to which tundra plant community composition changes (i) in response to in situ experimental warming, (ii) with interannual variability in summer temperature within sites, and (iii) over spatial gradients in summer temperature. We analyzed changes in plant community composition from repeat sampling (85 plant communities in 28 regions) and experimental warming studies (28 experiments in 14 regions) throughout arctic and alpine North America and Europe. Increases in the relative abundance of species with a warmer thermal niche were observed in response to warmer summer temperatures using all three methods; however, effect sizes were greater over broad-scale spatial gradients relative to either temporal variability in summer temperature within a site or summer temperature increases induced by experimental warming. The effect sizes for change over time within a site and with experimental warming were nearly identical. These results support the view that inferences based on space-for-time substitution overestimate the magnitude of responses to contemporary climate warming, because spatial gradients reflect long-term processes. In contrast, in situ experimental warming and monitoring approaches yield consistent estimates of the magnitude of response of plant communities to climate warming.

TI Identification of multiple salicylic acid-binding proteins using two high throughput screens SO FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE salicylic acid; salicylic acid-binding proteins; salicylic acid signaling; plant immunity; disease resistance ID SYSTEMIC ACQUIRED-RESISTANCE; ARABIDOPSIS-THALIANA; PLANT DEFENSE; SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION; DISEASE-RESISTANCE; TOBACCO; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; IMMUNITY; INDUCERS; HORMONE AB Salicylic acid (SA) is an important hormone involved in many diverse plant processes, including floral induction, stomatal closure, seed germination, adventitious root initiation, and thermogenesis. It also plays critical functions during responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The role(s) of SA in signaling disease resistance is by far the best studied process, although it is still only partially understood. To obtain insights into how SA carries out its varied functions, particularly in activating disease resistance, two new high throughput screens were developed to identify novel SA-binding proteins (SABPs). The first utilized crosslinking of the photo-reactive SA analog 4-AzidoSA (4AzSA) to proteins in an Arabidopsis leaf extract, followed by immuno-selection with anti-SA antibodies and then mass spectroscopy-based identification. The second utilized photo-affinity crosslinking of 4AzSA to proteins on a protein microarray (PMA) followed by detection with anti-SA antibodies. To determine whether the candidate SABPs (cSABPs) obtained from these screens were true SABPs, recombinantly-produced proteins were generated and tested for SA-inhibitable crosslinking to 4AzSA, which was monitored by immuno-blot analysis, SA-inhibitable binding of the SA derivative 3-aminoethylSA (3AESA), which was detected by a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay, or SA-inhibitable binding of [H-3]SA, which was detected by size exclusion chromatography. Based on our criteria that true SABPs must exhibit SA-binding activity in at least two of these assays, nine new SABPs are identified here; nine others were previously reported. Approximately 80 cSABPs await further assessment. In addition, the conflicting reports on whether NPR1 is an SABP were addressed by showing that it bound SA in all three of the above assays.

TI Human gut Bacteroidetes can utilize yeast mannan through a selfish mechanism SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID CARBOHYDRATE-ACTIVE ENZYMES; POLYSACCHARIDE UTILIZATION; CROHNS-DISEASE; MICROBIOTA; SYMBIONT; BACTERIA; CATABOLISM; INSIGHTS; COMPLEX; FAMILY AB Yeasts, which have been a component of the human diet for at least 7,000 years, possess an elaborate cell wall alpha-mannan. The influence of yeast mannan on the ecology of the human microbiota is unknown. Here we show that yeast alpha-mannan is a viable food source for the Gram-negative bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant member of the microbiota. Detailed biochemical analysis and targeted gene disruption studies support a model whereby limited cleavage of alpha-mannan on the surface generates large oligosaccharides that are subsequently depolymerized to mannose by the action of periplasmic enzymes. Co-culturing studies showed that metabolism of yeast mannan by B. thetaiotaomicron presents a 'selfish' model for the catabolism of this difficult to breakdown polysaccharide. Genomic comparison with B. thetaiotaomicron in conjunction with cell culture studies show that a cohort of highly successful members of the microbiota has evolved to consume sterically-restricted yeast glycans, an adaptation that may reflect the incorporation of eukaryotic microorganisms into the human diet.

Carotenoids also serve as precursors for two plant hormones and a diverse set of apocarotenoids. They are colorants and critical components of the human diet as antioxidants and provitamin A. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the genes and enzymes involved in carotenoid metabolism and describe recent progress in understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying carotenoid accumulation. The importance of the specific location of carotenoid enzyme metabolons and plastid types as well as of carotenoid-derived signals is discussed.

TI Dietary sodium selenite affects host intestinal and systemic immune response and disease susceptibility to necrotic enteritis in commercial broilers SO BRITISH POULTRY SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID EIMERIA-MAXIMA INFECTION; GENE-EXPRESSION; VITAMIN-E; CHICKEN LINES; SUPPLEMENTATION; PATHOGENESIS; PERFRINGENS; VACCINATION; MEAT; ALTERNATIVES AB This study was to evaluate the effects of supplementary dietary selenium (Se) given as sodium selenite on host immune response against necrotic enteritis (NE) in commercial broiler chickens. Chicks were fed from hatching on a non-supplemented diet or diets supplemented with different levels of Se (0.25, 0.50, and 1.00Semg/kg). To induce NE, broiler chickens were orally infected with Eimeria maxima at 14 d of age and then with Clostridium perfringens 4 d later using our previously established NE disease model. NE-associated clinical signs and host protective immunity were determined by body weight changes, intestinal lesion scores, and serum antibodies against alpha-toxin and necrotic enteritis B (NetB) toxin. The effects of dietary Se on the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines e.g., interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8LITAF (lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF alpha-factor), tumour necrosis factor (TNF) SF15, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), glutathione peroxidase 7 (GPx7), and avian beta-defensins (AvBD) 6, 8, and 13 (following NE infection) were analysed in the intestine and spleen. The results showed that dietary supplementation of newly hatched broiler chicks with 0.25Semg/kg from hatch significantly reduced NE-induced gut lesions compared with infected birds given a non-supplemented diet. The levels of serum antibody against the NetB toxin in the chicks fed with 0.25 and 0.50mg/kg Se were significantly higher than the non-supplemented control group. The transcripts for IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, iNOS, LITAF, and GPx7, as well as AvBD6, 8, and 13 were increased in the intestine and spleen of Se-supplemented groups, whereas transcript for TNFSF15 was decreased in the intestine. It was concluded that dietary supplementation with optimum levels of Se exerted beneficial effects on host immune response to NE and reduced negative consequence of NE-induced immunopathology.

We investigated whether GRBaV infection was present in 156 table grape accessions of Vitis vinifera that included 53 accessions exhibiting leafroll-like symptoms and 81 accessions from diverse geographic origins. Cane samples were collected during the dormant season in 2012 and analysed for GRBaV infection by PCR. A total of 73 accessions showed presence of GRBaV and these included raisin and table grape accessions with black, green and red berries. A 557 bp amplicon obtained by PCR was purified and sequenced, and the phylogenetic relationship among GRBaV isolates was examined by the maximum likelihood method. The maximum genetic variability among the isolates was only 8% and they belonged to two clades. Although it is not yet known if GRBaV is present outside of North America, 54 accessions from sources originating outside of North America tested positive for the virus.

Naturalised populations in the Driftless Area of the American Midwest may be beneficial for the conservation and agronomic improvement of the species. Aims: We explored the population structure and genetic diversity of Driftless Area meadow fescue populations, inferring their introduction histories to evaluate their potential contribution to conservation and breeding. Methods: We assigned plants sampled from 71 grasslands throughout the Driftless Area to genetically defined subpopulations based on neutral nuclear (nSSR) markers. Inter-population hybridisation and genetic diversity were combined with chloroplast haplotype scoring to infer introduction history. Results: We identified four subpopulations with distinct geographic distributions and haplotype composition, with 28% of sampled individuals representing admixtures of two or more subpopulations. There was moderate differentiation among subpopulations and sampling sites, with nonetheless high within-site diversity. Three chloroplast haplotypes were detected, occurring in different frequencies among subpopulations. Subpopulations appeared to have been derived from separate introductions of heterogeneous genetic material. Conclusions: Driftless Area meadow fescue populations are unlikely to contribute to conservation of locally adapted European varieties, but represent a valuable resource for the development of novel varieties and for preserving species-level genetic diversity.

TI Characterization of the cytopathic BVDV strains isolated from 13 mucosal disease cases arising in a cattle herd SO VIRUS RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Bovine viral diarrhea virus; Mucosal disease; RNA recombination; DnaJ; Cytopathogenicity; Insertion ID VIRAL DIARRHEA VIRUS; UBIQUITIN-CODING SEQUENCES; RNA RECOMBINATION; LETHAL DISEASE; MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION; PERSISTENT INFECTION; PESTIVIRUS; CYTOPATHOGENICITY; PROTEIN; GENOME AB Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a positive single stranded RNA virus belonging to the Pestivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family. BVDV has a wide host range that includes most ruminants. Noncytopathic (ncp) BVDV may establish lifelong persistent infections in calves following infection of the fetus between 40 and 120 days of gestation. Cytopathic (cp) BVDV strains arise from ncp strains via mutations. The most common cp mutations are insertions of RNA derived from either host or a duplication of viral sequences into the region of the genome coding for the NS2/3 protein. Superinfection of a persistently infected animal with a cp virus can give rise to mucosal disease, a condition that is invariably fatal. A herd of 136 bred 3-year old cows was studied. These cows gave birth to 41 PI animals of which 23 succumbed to mucosal disease. In this study, we characterized the ncp and cp viruses isolated from 13 of these animals. All viruses belonged to the BVDV type 2a genotype and were highly similar. All the cp viruses contained an insertion in the NS2/3 coding region consisting of the sequences derived from the transcript encoding a DnaJ protein named Jiv90. Comparison of the inserted DnaJ regions along with the flanking viral sequences in the insertion 3' end of the 13 cp isolates revealed sequence identities ranging from 96% to 99% with common borders. This suggested that one animal likely developed a cp virus that then progressively spread to the other 12 animals. Interestingly, when the inserted mammalian gene replicated within viral genome, it showed conservation of the same conserved motifs between the different species, which may indicate a role for these motifs in the insertion function within the virus genome. This is the first characterization of multiple cp bovine viral diarrhea virus isolates that spread in a herd under natural conditions. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

As compared to conventional heating, this new synthetic procedure saves energy, significantly reduces reaction time, and yet entails product yields that are comparable to those of the conventional heating procedure. The reaction products were characterized with NMR, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. From these analyses, the polyurethanes made with the conventional and microwave methods are shown to be similar in chemical structure and physical morphology. Furthermore, the H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of the starch polyurethanes have been fully assigned for the first time.

Recent trends in the earth's climate can create abrupt changes in precipitation, which can alter the impact of nonpoint sources on water quality. A 2-year study [dry (2009) and wet (2010) year] was initiated to assess the impact of nitrate nitrogen (N) loss from the Roca watershed on water quality in Salt Creek. The water flow and nitrate N concentration was determined weekly in Salt Creek. The predicted average nitrate N concentration in runoff during the dry year (38.3 mg L-1) was almost five times greater than that (7.9 mg L-1) for the wet year. However, the predicted amount of nitrate N in runoff was similar for both years because the runoff for the wet year (51.8 million m(3)) was about five times greater than that for the dry year (10.7 million m(3)). The total amount of nitrate N found in Salt Creek was 18 and 127 metric tons for the dry and wet years, respectively. These data implied that 95% (dry year) and 69% (wet year) of the nitrate N has been removed from streams water in Salt Creek. Factors responsible for removing nitrate N from water include heavy growth of algae, weeds, and aquatic plants as well as denitrification and volatilization reactions. The predicted amount of nitrate N lost from soils by leaching was almost seven times greater for the wet (1,037 metric tons) than the dry year (156 metric tons). It was concluded that high precipitation for the wet year raised both the amount of nitrate N in runoff and loading into Salt Creek and could increase the negative impact on water quality.

The meals were incorporated into the soil 2 weeks before crop planting at two rates (1.24 and 4.48 t ha(-1)). Weed densities and hand-weeding time were recorded twice during the growing seasons and weed biomass was measured at crop harvest. Compared to the 1.24 t ha(-1) soybean treatment, weed densities were 52 to 95% and 41 to 45% less at 3 and 6 weeks after planting, respectively, in both crops with the 4.48 t ha(-1) white mustard seed meal treatment. Time required for hand weeding at these times was also reduced by up to 82% and 48%, respectively. Broccoli yield was similar in all the treatments, but spinach yield was greatest in the 4.48 t ha(-1) treatments for both seed meals. Petiole nitrate and nutrient concentrations in both crops were generally similar in all the treatments. C1 [Shrestha, Anil] Calif State Univ Fresno, Dept Plant Sci, Fresno, CA 93740 USA.

In this study, we assess potential changes in fire weather conditions for the contiguous United States using the Haines Index (HI), a fire weather index that has been employed operationally to detect atmospheric conditions favorable for large and erratic fire behavior. The index summarizes lower atmosphere stability and dryness into an integer value with higher values indicting more fire-prone conditions. We use simulations produced by the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) from multiple regional climate models (RCMs) driven by multiple general circulation models (GCMs) to examine changes by midcentury in the seasonal percentage of days and the consecutive number of days with high (values >= 5) HI across the United States. Despite differences among the six RCM-GCM combinations in the magnitude and location of the projected changes, the results consistently suggest an increase in the number of days with high HI values over most of the United States during the summer season, with the dryness factor of the HI contributing more than the stability parameter to the projected changes. In addition, the consecutive number of days with high HI is projected to increase in summer. Together, these results suggest that future summers might be more conducive to large and dangerous fires. The projections for other seasons are inconsistent among the model combinations. C1 [Tang, Ying; Zhong, Shiyuan; Luo, Lifeng; Winkler, Julie] Michigan State Univ, Dept Geog, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA.

The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of adults at urban campuses and parks. Participants: Participants were individuals observed on campuses and parks in April 2011. Methods: The System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities was used to assess physical activity at 3 campuses and parks, 3times/day, for 4days. Results: Greater proportions of individuals (parks, campuses) were observed in vigorous (28.7%, 11.9%) and sedentary (25%, 18.3%) activities at parks than campuses and a greater proportion observed in walking (69.8%, 46.3%) intensity on campuses than parks. More men than women were observed at both parks and campuses, and paths and sport courts were most frequently used for physical activity. Conclusions: Physical activity intensities differ across college campuses and parks that provided similar physical activity amenities. Efforts should focus on increasing awareness of outdoor campus amenities that promote physical activity and understanding the outdoor amenities that of promote physical activity of women.

Song, Jae-Young Lee, Kyung-Woo TI Enhanced adipogenic differentiation of bovine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED ANIMAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE bovine; bone marrow; mesenchymal stem cell; adipogenic differentiation ID ADIPOSE-TISSUE; PLURIPOTENCY AB Until now, the isolation and characterisation of bovine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bBM-MSCs) have not been established, which prompted us to optimise the differentiation protocol for bBM-MSCs. In this study, bBM-MSCs were freshly isolated from three six-month-old cattle and used for pluripotent or phenotypic characterisation by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and flow cytometer. Initially, the cells were adherent to plastic surfaces and exhibited spindle-like morphology. The cells expressed pluripotent as well as typical MSC markers. In addition, bBM-MSCs were differentiated into chondrocytes and osteocytes, but less efficiently into adipocytes. Accordingly, we conducted this study to establish the optimal adipogenic differentiation protocol under specific culture conditions. For this purpose, we formulated the basal differentiation medium using low-glucose Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% (v/v) foetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin (P/S), 1 mu M dexamethasone, 0.5 mM indomethacin and 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine, and added with three levels of insulin at 10, 15 and 20 mu g/mL as insulin is the key adipogenesis inducer. The level of differentiation was evaluated by Oil Red O staining and by analysing the expression of adipocyte lineage-specific genes by a quantitative real time RT-PCR. In this study, we found that the bBM-MSCs were effectively differentiated into adipocytes as manifested by the presence of Oil Red O-stained lipid droplets. The mRNA levels of adipocyte-specific genes in the differentiated cells were highly expressed as compared with the non-differentiated bBM-MSCs. In conclusion, we successfully isolated and characterised bBM-MSCs with multipotent and differentiation potential. Additionally, enhanced in vitro adipogenic differentiation protocol for bBM-MSCs was established.

The experimental board was exposed in Vancouver, British Columbia, for more than 8 years, and the commercial board was exposed near Hilo, Hawaii, for 2 years. Both boards were characterized in terms of wood content, density, water uptake properties and voids content. The experimental board was additionally destructively analysed for water absorption of the WPC and MC calculated based on the wood content for verification of MRI results. MRI detected the presence of free water and its distribution in both of the WPC boards. Fibre saturation in the experimental board was found to be about 22-24%, in comparison to 25-30% present in most wood species. There was good correlation between the detection of free water by MRI and by destructive testing. Magnetic resonance images showed various major points of water entry in the WPC boards such as the support area, the cut ends, the dripping edge and the sides of the boards. For the experimental board, significant water entry also occurred at the upper exposed surface.

Romaine seedlings were grown with or without AM fungi. Soil surrounding plants was inoculated with ca. 8 log CFU/plant of either Salmonella enterica or E. coli EHEC composites. Samples (soil, root, and shoot) were analyzed on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for Salmonella and EHEC by direct plating and selective enrichment. Twenty-four hours after inoculation, populations of Salmonella and EHEC, respectively, were 4.20 and 3.24 log CFU/root, 2.52 and 1.17 log CFU/shoot, and 5.46 and 5.17 log CFU/g soil. By selective enrichment, samples tested positive for Salmonella or EHEC at day 22 at rates of 94 and 68% (shoot), 97 and 56% (root), and 100 and 75% (soil), respectively, suggesting that Salmonella has a greater propensity for survival than EHEC Salmonella populations in soil remained as high as 4.35 log CFU/g by day 22, while EHEC populations dropped to 1.12 log CFU/g in the same amount of time. Ninety-two percent of all Romaine leaves in our study were positive for internalized Salmonella from days 8 to 22 and remained as high as 1.26 log CFU/shoot on day 22 in AM fungi + Romaine plants. There were no differences (P > 0.05) between the survival of either pathogen based on the presence or absence of mycorrhizal fungi. Results of this study suggest that AM fungi do not affect the internalization and/or survival of either S. enterica or E. coli O157:H7 in Romaine lettuce seedlings. Our results should provide Romaine lettuce farmers confidence that the presence and/or application of AM fungi to crop soil is not a contributing factor to the internalization and survival of Salmonella or E. coli O157:H7 within Romaine lettuce plants.

Consequently, strategies are sought to reduce the carriage of C. jejuni in food animals before they arrive at the abattoir. Thymol is a natural product that reduces survivability of Campylobacter in vitro, but its rapid absorption from the proximal alimentary tract limits its bactericidal efficacy in vivo. Thymol-beta-d-glucopyranoside is more resistant to absorption than free thymol, but its administration to chickens has not been reported. In the present studies, 1mM thymol-beta-d-glucopyranoside was shown to exhibit near equal anti-Campylobacter activity as 1mM thymol when incubated anaerobically in avian crop or cecal contents in vitro, resulting in reductions of 1.10-2.32 log(10) colony forming units mL(-1) in C. jejuni concentrations after 24h incubation. In a follow-up live animal study, oral administration of thymol-beta-d-glucopyranoside, but not free thymol, significantly lowered (>10-fold) recovery of Campylobacter from the crop of market-aged broilers when compared to placebo-treated controls (n = 6 broilers/treatment). Neither thymol-beta-d-glucopyranoside nor thymol affected recovery of Campylobacter from cecal contents of the treated broilers. These results indicate that rapid absorption or passage of free thymol from the crop precluded its anti-Campylobacter activity at this site and throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. Conversely, lower recovery of Campylobacter from the crop of birds treated with thymol-beta-d-glucopyranoside indicates this conjugate was retained and able to be hydrolyzed to biologically active free thymol at this site as intended, yet was not sufficiently protected to allow passage of efficacious amounts of the intact glycoside to the lower gut. Nevertheless, these results warrant further research to see if higher doses or encapsulation of thymol-beta-d-glucopyranoside or similar glycosides may yield an efficacious additive to reduce carriage of Campylobacter as well as other pathogens throughout the avian gut.

High K-F coefficients for chlorpyrifos (15.78) and TCP (6.54) were determined for the Entisol soil, while low K-F coefficients for chlorpyrifos (5.32) and TCP (3.93) were observed in the Alfisol soil. In all four soils, adsorption of chlorpyrifos was higher than that of TCP. A surface complexation model, the constant capacitance model, was well able to fit the adsorption isotherms of both chlorpyrifos and TCP on all four soils. The results showed that specific surface area affected adsorption of both chlorpyrifos and TCP. Among the soil properties, specific surface area could be a better indicator than organic matter content alone for adsorption of chlorpyrifos and TCP by soils that contained low organic matter.

The core objectives of this study are to: i) evaluate the use of dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) and Paulownia wood (PW) flour in high density polyethylene-composites (LPC); ii) assess the benefit of chemically modifying DDGS and PW flour through chemical extraction and modification (acetylation/malation); and iii) to evaluate the benefit of mixing DDGS with Pine wood (PINEW) in a hybrid LPC. Injection molded test specimens were evaluated for their tensile, flexural, impact, environmental durability (soaking responses), and thermal properties. All mechanical results from composites are compared to neat high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to determine their relative merits and drawbacks. HDPE composites composed of various percentage weights of fillers and either 0% or 5% by weight of maleate polyethylene (MAPE) were produced by twin screw compounding and injection molding. Chemical modification by acetylation and malation of DDGS and PW fillers prior to compounding was done to evaluate their potential in making an improved lignocellulosic material. Composite-DDGS/PINEW mixture blends composed of a majority of PINEW were superior to composites containing DDGS only. Composites containing MAPE had significantly improved tensile and flexural moduli compared to neat HDPE. Impact strength of all composites were significantly lower than neat HDPE. Chemical modification substantially improved the tensile, flexural, water absorbance, and thermal properties of the resultant composites compared to untreated composites. Differential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetric analysis were conducted on the HDPE composites to evaluate their thermal properties as this may indicate processing limitations with conventional plastics processing equipment due to the exposure of the bio-material to elevated temperatures. Finally, because exposure to the moisture in the environment can affect the physical and color properties of wood, changes in the size and color of test specimens after prolonged soaking were evaluated.

Multiple challenges confront the rising demand for poultry food products, including governmental restrictions on the use of antibiotic growth promoters and novel feedstuffs, high-density production conditions, waste management, and the emergence of infectious pathogens, particularly those that cause intestinal diseases. There is little doubt that in-feed antibiotics has dramatically increased the efficiency of commercial poultry production over the last 50 years. However, antibiotic usage in chickens has raised concerns regarding chemical residues in the poultry food products, and has directly led to the appearance of antibiotic resistance among avian pathogens that has the potential to be transferred to humans pathogens. Much interest, therefore, has focused on the development of alternative, antibiotic-free methods of commercial poultry production. Additionally, identification of new chicken genetic markers opens the door for the development of novel chicken breeds with increased resistance to infectious diseases through gene modifications and DNA-based selection strategies. This chapter addresses alternatives to antibiotics in the context of avian coccidiosis, a prototypical intestinal disease of chickens. First, the biology of Eimeria, the causative agent of coccidiosis, is briefly reviewed, followed by a summary of the chicken immune response to Eimeria infection, and finally an appraisal of recent advances in nontraditional coccidiosis control strategies.

Here, we show that DEA and bilevel optimization can also be used together as part of an integrated solution framework. We work with a policy-oriented problem in which the regulator's multi-objective optimization problem at the upper level is constrained by the profit-maximizing decisions of individual firms at the lower level. Each firm's response to the policy is a prori unknown to the regulator, and depends on the underlying production technology. Rather than assuming a common production relationship across firms, DEA allows us to model each firm's response to the policy without imposing a functional form on the production technology. We use DEA to estimate the technology facing each producer, based on observed practices of other producers. Doing so endogenizes the cost of responding to prospective policies at the lower level, providing a more realistic solution set at the upper level. Our application addresses the design of a policy to reduce fertilizer runoff from agriculture, an important problem in environmental economics. We employ a multi-objective bilevel evolutionary algorithm to solve for the approximate optimal frontier. C1 [Bostian, Moriah] Lewis & Clark Coll, Dept Econ, Portland, OR 97219 USA.

This is the case for certain clonal apple rootstocks, which were recognized for their ability to dwarf apple trees and increase the fruit/wood ratio produced by the same trees. Increased understanding of how dwarfing rootstocks can be used in orchard production systems has shaped the notion that rootstocks are the foundation of a healthy and productive apple orchard, and that as the interface between the scion and the soil, and by providing vital elements such as anchorage, water, nutrients, and disease protection, they ultimately affect the sustainability of the orchard. Therefore, it was realized that breeding of new productive, disease-resistant, dwarfing apple rootstocks using modern selection techniques could have positive impact on apple production by increasing orchard productivity, which in turn translates into increased profit margins for growers. Cornell University's Geneva. Apple Rootstock Breeding program initiated in 1968 is one of a handful still in activity out of a dozen initiated in the same period. What made this breeding program unique in the world was the focus on disease resistance to biotic stresses common in northeast America such as fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) and soil-borne diseases common to all apple growing regions such as crown and root rot (Phytophthora spp.), which was fueled by the vast genetic resources available in Geneva, NY. In 1998, the apple rootstock breeding program was converted to a joint breeding program with the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with a USDA breeder as the lead scientist. Breeding apple rootstocks is a lengthy and resource-intensive endeavor (research occurs in greenhouse, laboratory, nursery, and orchards) that features a multistage 20-30-year breeding process that starts with a large number of seeds from planned crosses and is whittled down to a handful of " elite selections" by multiple rounds of inoculation with diseases, the application of molecular markers for important orchard traits, and multiple evaluations in replicated orchard experiments of annual data for yield, yield efficiency, tree vigor, suckering, nutrient uptake efficiency, and response to any other unique stress events. The breeding program applies genomic and bioinformatic tools for marker-assisted breeding of apple rootstocks while leveraging discoveries in whole tree phenomics and metabolomics. Elite selections are increased to perform highly replicated tests including exposure to extreme soil temperatures, replant soils, multiple strains of fire blight, wooly apple aphids, crown rot, viruses, and graft union strength with multiple scion varieties. At the same time, the elite rootstocks are also distributed to cooperating commercial nurseries to bulk up production and evaluate propagation potential in preparation for nationwide and worldwide evaluation. During this stage, a particular rootstock may be tested in 30+ different locations and for 7-12 years at each location providing about 200 combined years of replicated data. The best elite selections are then increased in production for commercial level tests (large orchards, few rootstocks), followed by intellectual property protection and final release to nurseries and orchard growers. For most Geneva. apple rootstocks released so far, this multistage process has taken on average more than 30 years. In addition to advances in whole tree physiology, apple rootstock genomics, transcriptomics, and phenomics, the ongoing 40+-year effort in apple rootstock breeding described below has yielded a dozen of disease-resistant and productive apple rootstock varieties that are being deployed in all apple growing regions of the world. These new rootstocks are allowing growers to plant where fire blight and replant disease pressure made it virtually impossible to plant new apple orchards.

Post-fire flooding and erosion can pose a serious threat to life, property and municipal water supplies. Increased runoff and sediment delivery due to the loss of surface cover and fire-induced changes in soil properties are of great concern. Remediation plans and treatments must be developed and implemented before the first major storms in order to be effective. One of the primary sources of information for making remediation decisions is a soil burn severity map derived from Earth Observation data (typically Landsat) that reflects fire induced changes in vegetation and soil properties. Slope, soils, land cover and climate are also important parameters that need to be considered. Spatially-explicit process-based models can account for these parameters, but they are currently under-utilized relative to simpler, lumped models because they are difficult to set up and require spatially-explicit inputs (digital elevation models, soils, and land cover). Our goal is to make process-based models more accessible by preparing spatial inputs before a fire, so that datasets can be rapidly combined with soil burn severity maps and formatted for model use. We are building an online database (http://geodjango.mtri.org/geowepp /) for the continental United States that will allow users to upload soil burn severity maps. The soil burn severity map is combined with land cover and soil datasets to generate the spatial model inputs needed for hydrological modeling of burn scars. Datasets will be created to support hydrological models, post-fire debris flow models and a dry ravel model. Our overall vision for this project is that advanced GIS surface erosion and mass failure prediction tools will be readily available for post-fire analysis using spatial information from a single online site.

Each genotype was planted in three replicates in RCBD on the same land area for three consecutive years as an additional edaphic stress [Phase I], followed by three more years in a crop rotation [Phase II]. Annually, three random plants per genotype and replicate were sampled at vegetative and physiological maturity stages. All samples were assayed for 10 nutrients, using LECO analyzer and ICP instrument. Temporal variation in nutrient density and stability were estimated using several multivariate statistical methods. Validation coefficients of determination [Q(2)] increased steadily from 25 [Phase I] to 53% [Phase II]. Invariably, Sulfur, Phosphorus, Zinc, and Copper, in decreasing order, were most important in determining the amount of explained variance. Abiotic stress significantly increased nutrient densities in 32, decreased it in 46, and did not affect it in 22% of the 50 nutrient-Product combinations. Temporal variation of nutrient densities decreased in 48, increased in 34, and remained stable in 18% of these nutrient-Product combinations. Carbon: Nitrogen ratio, as covariate, impacted nutrient densities, and stability of all nutrients; increased in carbohydrates, protein, and oil-protein; and decreased in oil. Nutrient densities averaged over Products discriminated between Phase I and Phase II [91.1 vs. 96.0% correct classification]. Discrimination between Products decreased from 73.5% in Phase I to 62.5% in Phase II. Carbohydrates, oil, carbohydrates-protein, and oil-protein, in decreasing order, exhibited the largest misclassification. Largest variation in nutrient densities was explained by Year x Product (Phase) [10-73%], followed by Year x Genotype (Products x Phase) [9-25%], thus illustrating the dynamic nutrient response to abiotic stress.

Crops were subjected to two phases, three years each, of multiple abiotic stresses by manipulating length of the growing season and population density under typical management practices of each crop in the upper Midwest, USA. In Phase II, crops were rotated to release the additional edaphic stress of no-rotation in Phase I. Nutrient densities were estimated using LECO analyzer (Carbon and Nitrogen) or ICP instrument (Calcium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur and Zinc). Comparisons of functional relationships among nutrients were based on statistics (a, 3, and R-2) derived from 1000-permutations using reduced major axis (RMA) regression analyses. Genotypic differences in nutrients functional relationships were modulated, in decreasing order, by Carbon:Nitrogen ratio, stress treatments, and storage macromolecules. Comparisons between the beta statistics for each nutrient in Phases I and II suggested that differences in nutrient functional relationships between crop species were significantly larger than differences between genotypes within species. Nitrogen, rather than Carbon content, followed by plant density, but not short growing season, influenced some (Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, and Zinc) nutrient relationships and their allocations to leaves, stems and seed of crop species. Functional relationships between Copper, Iron, Sulfur and Zinc, at the seed storage macromolecules level in Phase I and II indicated that oil and protein producing crop species are more prone to larger adverse effects of abiotic stresses than those producing carbohydrates alone or in combination with protein. A thorough understanding of these relationships is critical for screening genetic diversity and designing nutritionally-balanced crop genotypes under abiotic stress. Published by Elsevier B.V.

However, It is time-consuming and challenging to carry the hand-held crop sensors and walk across large paddy fields. Satellite remote sensing is potentially more efficient for monitoring crop growth status across large areas, but is often limited by bad weather conditions, spatial resolution of the sensors, or repeat cycle of the satellite systems. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing is a promising approach to overcoming the limitations of ground sensing and satellite remote sensing. The objective of this study was to evaluate an UAV-based remote sensing system for estimating rice N status in Northeast China. Two N rate experiments including 11-leave variety Longjing 31 and 12-leave variety Longjing 21 were conducted in 2014 at Jiansanjiang Experiment Station of China Agricultural University, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China. An Octocopter UAV equipped with a Mini Multi-Camera Array (Mini-MCA) imaging system was used in this study. Fifteen vegetation indices were evaluated to estimate aboveground biomass, plant N uptake, and leaf area index (LAI) at the panicle initiation and the stem elongation growth stages of the rice varieties. The preliminary results indicated that the Red Edge Difference Vegetation Index (REDVI) was best for estimating aboveground biomass (R-2=0.85) and plant N uptake (R-2=0.87), and the Difference Vegetation Index (DVI) was best for estimating LAI (R-2=0.80) at panicle initiation stage. At stem elongation stage, the Red Edge Simple Ratio Index (RESRI) explained 75% and 69% of aboveground biomass and LAI variability respectively. The MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) explained 69% and 68% of plant N concentration and uptake variability, respectively. The UAV-based remote sensing system has good potential for estimating in-season rice N status and guiding topdressing N application. More studies are needed to develop UAV remote sensing-based precision N management strategies to improve N use efficiency of large scale rice farming in Northeast China C1 [Lu, Junjun; Miao, Yuxin; Shi, Wei; Hu, Xiaoyi; Wang, Xinbing; Wan, Jun] China Agr Univ, Coll Resources & Environm Sci, ICASD, Beijing 10093, Peoples R China.

Advances in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technologies have enabled remote sensing-based studies of vegetation canopies by capturing three-dimensional structures, yielding information not available in two-dimensional images of the landscape provided by traditional multi-spectral remote sensing platforms. However, the large volume data sets produced by airborne LiDAR instruments pose a significant computational challenge, requiring algorithms to identify and analyze patterns of interest buried within LiDAR point clouds in a computationally efficient manner, utilizing state-of-art computing infrastructure. We developed and applied a computationally efficient approach to analyze a large volume of LiDAR data and characterized the vegetation canopy structures for 139,859 hectares (540 sq. miles) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This study helps improve our understanding of the distribution of vegetation and animal habitats in this extremely diverse ecosystem.

The seed grower also has resources that are available from university experts and from the organizations that certify the seed potatoes. Systems that exist for the production of seed potatoes have similar but slightly different structures in individual states, although the basic principles for producing quality seed potatoes are followed in each state. Each state is signatory to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the national regulatory agency (United States Department of Agriculture Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA-APHIS). This allows trade between states and between the USA and other countries. The MOU requires a quality manual to be developed for each certifying state. This quality manual is a procedural manual. An audit of each certifying agency is conducted to ensure compliance with the approved quality manual. The MOU is a recent document and serves to unify practices of multiple certification agencies. This allows for a set of minimum seed standards that helps to facilitate international trade. An example of how certification practices can change to improve seed health occurred in Idaho starting in 2007. At this time, an outbreak of potato virus Y (PVY) necrotic strains occurred in ware fields planted with infected seed. Prior to this time, 95% of the varieties were visually inspected for PVY. The other 5% of varieties were serologically tested with ELISA because of latent symptom expression. This PVY outbreak led to a change requiring ELISA testing of all seed lots and all varieties. Over the next 4 years the number of seed lots with PVY was reduced by 10%. The change in the seed regulations was formulated by growers and university researchers and then approved by a grower advisory committee and finally a foundation seed stocks committee which consists of the certification agency and university scientists.

Similarly, 13 RapidEye scenes were acquired. The synthetic Landsat product was correlated to the RapidEye imagery on a class-wise basis for the 12 crops that most frequently occur in the region. The results vary strongly between the Day of Year and the crop type. As conclusion it can be stated that the pairing date of a synthetic scene should not deviate strongly from the date of interest within the time-series. Moreover, classes with a stable phenological development can be predicted with a higher precision compared to classes with rapid changes mostly due to multiple harvest or swath per year.

The large-scale identification of erosion hotspots as well as the simulation of protection measures require up-to-date information about vegetation coverage which can be provided by the analysis of high resolution remote sensing data. In this study, we present an approach which couples modeled phenological phases with NDVI profiles derived from synthetically generated Landsat time-series of high temporal resolution based on the STARFM algorithm. The approach is applied on a phenological spring phase of Winter Wheat in 2011. On the example of a study site in Central Germany, we show how data sets of up-to-date FVC degrees can be derived.

An optimal pacing policy was estimated from a Markov decision process that balanced the goals of the movement task and the thermal-work strain safety constraints. The machine guided pace was based on current physiological strain index (PSI), the time, and the distance already completed. Fourteen healthy and fit young subjects participated in the study (9 men, 5 women). Each participated in an unguided exercise session followed by a guided one. In the unguided session, they were instructed to complete 5 miles in 60 minutes and to try to finish at the lowest body temperature possible; in the guided sessions, participants were instructed to match machine-provided pacing guidance provided every 2 minutes. Continuous real-time measures of heart rate and core body temperature were obtained from a wearable Hidalgo EquivitalTM EQ-02 and the MiniMitter Jonah thermometer pill. Of the fourteen subjects, 13 completed the 5 miles in one hour for the unguided session; at least three different self-pacing strategies were observed, with an alternating speed proving to be most effective. In the guided sessions, 6 subjects were stopped by the machine guidance for exceeding the algorithms PSI "safety" limit. Eight subjects were guided to complete the task with significantly lower PSIs. The results indicate that machine guided advice shows promise for preventing hyperthermia and improving outcomes for performers of an unfamiliar task.

Feed efficiency is a multivariate phenotype that is characterized by a variety of phenotypic variables, such as dry matter intake, body weight gain, and milk yield. Currently, there is no consensus method for quantifying the feed efficiency of lactating dairy cattle for the purpose of breeding selection. Residual feed intake, which is the difference between actual feed intake and predicted intake, has been one of the commonly used measures for feed efficiency. However, such a measure is heterogeneous showing substantial variation in the cow population and has relatively low heritability (0.01 similar to 0.38). Hence, its utility in breeding selection is limited. In particular, no prior study has utilized genetic data directly in the development of feed efficiency measures. In this paper, we aim to identify cattle clusters with homogeneous feed efficiency features that are ready to link to genetic variants, and thus can have greater utility in breading selection. In order to achieve this goal, we explore a new multi-view clustering method that jointly analyzes two views of data: phenotypic measures and genotypes, and identifies cattle clusters that are characterized by specific phenotypic features and also associated with genetic markers. Using a set of feed efficiency data collected by USDA, three cattle subgroups have been identified by our analysis, and they offer instructive insights into future feed efficiency studies.

However, netting did not effectively protect the vegetables against small insects such as aphids and whiteflies, although a visual barrier could delay outbreaks. Hence, opening the nets during the day could be an alternative option to conserve the natural enemies for small insects. Moreover, the efficacy of the visual barrier may be complemented by a repellent compound impregnated in the net. The small-holder growers adopting the nets in Benin and Kenya have reduced the number of pesticide applications required by 70-100%. They have also increased the yield in quality and quantity of production due to microclimate modification. Cost-benefit analyses of the technology showed that with insect proof nets profitability rates of up to three times could be achieved when compared to the farmers' practices observed in the real environment. Hence, this technology could be a promising way to develop an agro-ecological approach for sustainable management of key horticultural crop pests.

A central tenet of the SPS Agreement is that measures affecting trade are technically justified based on scientific principles and evidence of risk. This emphasis on evidence has resulted in risk analysis and decision making processes that largely ignore the role of uncertainty or respond to it inconsistently and ambiguously. The lack of discipline on the role of uncertainty in the SPS framework has resulted in wide-ranging interpretations that provoke trade tension, including formal disputes. A history of jurisprudence emanating from SPS-based disputes in the WTO provides useful insights into the most troublesome aspects of the relationship of uncertainty to evidence in risk analysis and decision making, including; (1) the potential for biasing risk conclusions, (2) the possibility to invoke precaution as a guiding principle, (3) the "rational relationship" between risk and the strength of measures, and (4) the distinction between the possibility and probability of adverse events. The lessons learned from these challenges help to translate the conceptual background of the SPS Agreement into practical terms and begin to better define appropriate disciplines on the interpretation of uncertainty.

It is effective against all life stages of insects and against both external and internal feeders. Nitric oxide fumigation comes with additional but acceptable costs associated with nitrogen gas supply needed to establish ultralow oxygen conditions. It is more effective against pests and less toxic to mammals than phosphine.

Immature fruits are cooked or eaten raw. In this paper we review the wealth of genetic resources in Indian snapmelon landraces for resistance to fungal and viral diseases, nematodes, and insects, and tolerance to drought, soil salinity, and high temperature. Global melon breeding programs have transferred many of these qualities into open-pollinated and hybrid cultivars of sweet melons cultivated in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. Snapmelon is a source of high fruit acidity, a trait that has been utilized to breed uniquely flavored melon cultivars. Resistance genes to combat pathogens and pests, and to strengthen crop resilience against climate change have been identified in snapmelon collections from various parts of India. More effort is needed to collect, characterize, evaluate and preserve snapmelon diversity in genebanks. C1 [Dhillon, N. P.

A management option for control and meeting consumer demand for chemical-free, environmentally friendly fruit production is the development of resistant or tolerant cultivars. Resistance to bacterial spot in peach cultivars is apparently under polygenic control. Several controlling loci in the peach genome conferring quantitative resistance were recently discovered in an F-2 population. The two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with the largest effects on bacterial spot resistance in peach fruit, Xap. Pp. OC-1.2 and Xap. Pp. OC-6.1, were validated here in a large collection of U.S. peach breeding germplasm (Prunus persica and some closely related species). High-resolution genome scans of this germplasm conducted within the RosBREED project were associated with phenotypic data on fruit bacterial spot resistance to determine effects and distributions of functional alleles. This resulting predictive DNA information has immediate application in U.S. peach breeding. C1 [Gasic, K.; Reighard, G.] Clemson Univ, SAFES, Clemson, SC 29634 USA.

The incorporation of exotic germplasm and breeding of new varieties is hindered by the labor required to generate large segregating populations. Hand pollinations are characterized by a high failure rate with only 25% of pollinations resulting in fruit set. Additionally, peach fruit typically produce a single seed, further reducing the potential seedling population size. Two mechanisms that facilitate outcrossing, self-incompatibility and male sterility, exist in peach and closely related species. Fruit set in self-incompatible and male sterile genotypes is facilitated via insect pollination. In this presentation we describe procedures for the establishment and maintenance of a male sterility facilitated random mating breeding population. C1 [Odom, R.; Chaparro, J.

These two areas have distinctly different climates and, consequently, require different priorities for the breeding of new peach cultivars. While the main season production areas in central Georgia and South Carolina have been supported for nearly 75 years by the breeding programs at the USDA-Byron location in central Georgia and Clemson University South Carolina, the lower coastal plain production area has never enjoyed focused breeding support and, instead, had to rely on the occasional 'spin-off' from other peach breeding programs, many of which are now shuttered. In 1991, a cooperative, moderate chill peach breeding program was established by the University of Georgia, the University of Florida and the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (Byron, Georgia) to address the unique needs of this industry. A novel aspect of this program has been its utilization of non-melting (i.e., "canning") flesh germplasm for the fresh market where melting flesh cultivars have traditionally reigned supreme. Non-melting flesh germplasm was utilized to take advantage of its slower rate of softening as fruit approaches maturity compared to melting types. This has made possible the breeding of peaches that can be harvested at a more mature stage, allowing the development of significantly improved eating quality, larger size and more red blush without sacrificing the firmness required for long distance shipping. To date, this program has released seven cultivars including five non-melting peaches, several of which are being planted widely. C1 [Beckman, T.

Historically peach tree short life (PTSL), aka 'Bacterial Canker Complex', and Armillaria root rot (ARR) have been the two most important causes of premature mortality of commercial peach trees in the southeastern United States. However, following the cooperative release of Guardian rootstock by the USDA-Agricultural Research Service and Clemson University in 1993 the southeastern peach industry has enjoyed a marked decline in incidence of PTSL. Unfortunately, Guardian, like most other peach seedling rootstocks, is very susceptible to ARR. As a result, ARR has now moved to the forefront as the primary cause of premature peach tree death in the Southeast. Since its inception in 1988, the Byron rootstock program has focused on the breeding and development of new peach, plum and plum x peach interspecific hybrid rootstocks with resistance to PTSL, ARR and several species of root-knot nematode including Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica and M. floridensis. M. floridensis is a recently identified nematode species with demonstrated ability to attack many of the current commercial peach rootstocks with resistance to M. incognita, including Okinawa, Nemared, Nemaguard and Guardian. Our breeding and evaluation work has recently culminated in the release of two clonal rootstocks with broad disease and nematode resistance. 'Sharpe', a semi-dwarf, clonal, plum hybrid, was released in 2007 for commercial testing and as a germplasm line. 'MP-29', a semi-dwarf, clonal, plum x peach hybrid, was released in 2011 for commercial testing. 'MP-29's broad disease and nematode resistance in combination with its dwarfing ability and excellent productivity offers great promise for use in this production area and others worldwide suffering from similar maladies.

After four years at 14 locations, significant differences among rootstocks and sites were found for survival, root suckers, growth, bloom date, fruit maturity date, fruit size, cumulative yield, and yield efficiency. Tree survival was high (>96%) in the states MA, CA, SC and UT and low (<78%) in MO and NC (bacterial canker). Imperial California had the lowest overall survival (48%) followed by Fortuna and Krymsk (R) 1. Rootstock suckering was excessive on Prunus americana seedlings with Krymsk (R) 1 a distant second. The largest trees were in CA, NY, MO and SC, while the smallest trees were in CO and UT, both high elevation mountain states with calcareous soils. Tree TCSAs were largest on Bright's Hybrid #5, Guardian (R), Viking, Krymsk (R) 86 and Atlas, whereas TCSAs of trees on Krymsk (R) 1, Controller 5, P. americana and Fortuna were the smallest. The earliest bloom by 1-2 days in both years occurred on Bright's Hybrid #5 and KV010127 rootstocks. Trees on P. americana and Fortuna bloomed 1-3 days later than the average in 2011 and 2012. Fruit maturity dates varied by 59 and 52 days across sites in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Among rootstocks and years, fruit maturity was advanced up to 2.5 days and delayed as much as 3.5 days, when compared to Lovell. Bright's Hybrid #5 and KV010127 advanced maturity, and Penta and HBOK 32 delayed maturity in both years. Fruit size was largest (192 to 231 g) in SC, UT and CA and smallest (117 to 154 g) in GA and NC for both years. Empyrean (R) 3, Atlas, Empyrean (R) 2, Bright's Hybrid #5, Guardian (R) and Viking produced the largest fruit and Fortuna the smallest. Cumulative yields were highest in CA, NY, MO and MA and lowest in CO and IL. The highest yields were on the vigorous peach and peach hybrid rootstocks. Also, rootstocks with the highest yield efficiency were Krymsk (R) 1, HBOK 10, P. americana, HBOK 32, and Controller (TM) 5. C1 [Reighard, G.; Bridges, W., Jr.] Clemson Univ, Clemson, SC 29634 USA.

All trees were grafted on 'Lovell' rootstock and came from the same nursery. Five trees of each cultivar were planted at a spacing of 6 m by 5 m at each location. In 2012, eight locations were able to participate in the study. In order to obtain maximum fruit growth, trees were thinned to about 40-50 fruit within 30-40 days of bloom, were irrigated when needed and kept free of diseases and pests. When fruit started to soften (tree ripe), a first harvest was initiated. The second, and last, harvest occurred about one week later. Individual fruit were weighed and a composite sample per tree was used to measure percent soluble solids content (SSC) with a refractometer. Daily weather parameters of maximum and minimum temperatures, solar radiation, precipitation and average humidity were measured in close proximity to the orchard. Full bloom dates ranged from early March to early May for the different locations. Time from full bloom to harvest varied by about 30 days among locations for all three cultivars. This parameter correlated very well with average temperature (average of daily maximum and minimum) for 60 days after bloom. Correlation coefficients were -0.94, -0.96 and -0.98 for the three cultivars, respectively. Average fruit weight varied among sites from 141 g to 216 g for 'Crimson Lady', 159 g to 313 g for 'Redhaven' and 152 g to 413 g for 'Cresthaven'. This parameter correlated well with average solar radiation from bloom to harvest for 'Redhaven' (r = 0.87) and 'Cresthaven' (r = 0.73), but not 'Crimson Lady'. The relationship with 'Cresthaven' was significantly improved by adding in the factor of average temperature for 20 days after bloom (r(2) = 0.91). Cooler temperatures were associated with larger fruit. No weather parameters correlated well with 'Crimson Lady' fruit weight or with SSC for any of the three cultivars. The study will continue for at least 2 more years to obtain more robust relationships. C1 [Johnson, R. S.] Univ Calif Davis, Kearney Agr Ctr, Parlier, CA 93648 USA. [Reighard, G.

Typically, grapevine breeders use midwinter bud hardiness measures as the descriptive phenotype for cold tolerance. Historical practices of bud cutting and more modern day differential thermal analysis of low temperature exotherms allows for an accurate, quantitative measure of bud hardiness. In our recent studies we have examined the relationship between cold hardiness and dormancy requirements, and our results preliminarily suggest a geographic pattern associated with dormant tissue temperature response and midwinter hardiness in Vitis riparia. The data presented here represent two years of hardiness measures for different Vitis riparia and Vitis vinifera genotypes.

Lateral meristems complicate rootstock cutting production, since tendrils are removed from rootstock cuttings prior to propagation and since tendrils clinging to wires, canes, or other tendrils make collecting cuttings more time consuming and expensive. To develop improved grapevine rootstocks with reduced lateral meristems, an elite nematode resistant rootstock selection ((Vitis berlandieri x V. riparia) x V. biformis) was crossed with 'Roger's Red' (Vitis hybrid), and 'Roger's Red' was also self-pollinated. Seedlings from controlled pollinations were grown in a greenhouse and trained up a stake. Starting at the first node in alternate phyllotaxy (that is, a node with a lateral meristem) and continuing for twelve nodes, the presence or absence of lateral meristems was observed and the type of lateral meristem was reported. There were 141 cross-pollinated seedlings. There were 83 seedlings from 'Roger's Red' self-pollination. The expected pattern of lateral meristem distribution was wild type: two successive lateral meristem bearing nodes, followed by a single lateral meristem-free node. However, 43 of 83 seedlings from 'Roger's Red' self-pollination showed two or more successive lateral meristem-free nodes (flanked by lateral meristem-bearing nodes), and 12 of these 43 showed at least two sets of two successive lateral meristem-free nodes. One self-pollinated seedling showed three successive lateral meristem-free nodes in the alternate phyllotaxy. In contrast, in the hybrid population only 33 of 141 seedlings showed the non-wild type pattern of two successive lateral meristem-free nodes, and only 6 of these 33 showed at least two sets of two successive lateral meristem-free nodes. Tendril distribution is under genetic control and the production of extra tendril-free nodes was segregating in these populations. Dominant alleles at two genes are required for the mutant phenotype. A genetic model and the gene names Successive Tendril free Node-1 and Successive Tendril free Node-2 are proposed. C1 [Cousins, P.] E&J Gallo Winery, Modesto, CA USA.

Citrus originated in south eastern Asia. Many of the forests in this region where natural populations of wild citrus likely occur have been developed for agriculture. Climate change threatens to further reduce the remaining habitat of wild citrus. The spread of modern citrus cultivars to these areas is displacing local selections and landraces. Therefore conservation of citrus germplasm is a priority, as recognized by development of a global citrus germplasm network in 1997. The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) has recognized Citrus as an Annex 1 crop, and an initial meeting in 2012 began work to establish a global conservation strategy for citrus. To characterize the current state of citrus germplasm collections, a survey of citrus genebanks was developed and distributed worldwide. Eleven germplasm collections responded to the survey. These collections vary in size, age, location in developed vs developing countries, and emphasis of the collection. Most collections are expanding, but they vary in rates of turnover of accessions, with some having high rates of loss. Most collections maintain germplasm primarily as field collections, but greenhouses, nurseries, and cryopreservation are used by some. Pest and disease problems are an economic problem for most collections and affect a wide range of accessions. Loss of accessions due to these problems affects only two collections. Relatively few collections distribute germplasm beyond the country in which they are located. Most collections report having inadequate funding, and need new trained staff to better manage citrus germplasm. We conclude that a global citrus germplasm network is needed with resources to provide stable funding to important but imperilled collections. C1 [Roose, M.

While global conservation strategies were developed for banana and plantain (Musa L.), strawberry (Fragaria L.), breadfruit (Artocarpus), and coconut (Cocos L.), those for citrus (Citrus L.), apple (Malus L.) and grape (Vitis L.) are under development or just beginning to be considered. The horticultural crop in the most immediate need is Citrus, where growing regions are currently plagued with serious pests and diseases such as huanglongbing. Through a combined effort of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, the International Society for Horticultural Science, and scientific expert committees, the state of conservation of these horticultural crops, and gaps in the collections are being assessed. Funding is being sought in support of strategy implementation. These strategies, once implemented, will improve international plant exchange and help conserve genetic resources of horticultural crops in perpetuity. C1 [Hummer, K.

The NCGR genebank includes more than 1700 accessions, with representatives of 81 Vaccinium taxa from around the world. The primary collection of clonal blueberries and their wild relatives are maintained as plants in containers in greenhouses and screenhouses. While the primary genepool for highbush blueberry (V. corymbosum L.), the main crop of economic importance, is within Section Cyanococcus, breeders wish to expand gene accessibility to include representatives of the rich diversity present in other sections. Knowledge of ploidy level is paramount for this task, but has been limited. The objective of this research was to evaluate ploidy levels of approximately 50 species within the NCGR collection. Ploidy was evaluated through flow cytometry using cell preparations from leaf samples. The base haplotype for Vaccinium is x=12. Many species native to the South Pacific and Southeast Asia were diploid (2n=2x=24). Sections Cyanococcus and Myrtillus each included diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid members. Section Oxycoccus had diploids and hexaploids. The clones of V. dependens (G. Don) Sleumer (sect. Brachyceratium) and V. poasanum (Donn. Sm.) (synonym = Symphysia poasanum (Donn. Sm.) Vander Kloet) were triploid. Pyxothamnus members from Meso-and South America, V. consanguineum Klotzsch and V. corymbodendron Dunal, were tetraploid. These two species are candidates for direct crosses with V. corymbosum. Ploidy levels from other species representatives and standards are reported. C1 [Hummer, K. E.; Bassil, N.

Traditionally-used Native American edible plants are thought to be rich sources of phytonutrients, antioxidants, and biologically active components, however, research reports providing data on content and processing impacts are sparse. The objective of the study was to measure nutritional and compositional attributes of selected Native American edible plants and plant parts from Southern California including Yucca whipplei fruit pods and blossoms, and Urtica dioica leaves (commonly known as stinging nettle) in fresh, roasted and parboiled samples. Sample analyses of pH, moisture, total soluble solids (TSS), total chlorophyll, total carotene, antioxidant activity and phenolic content were conducted. HPLC chromatographic overlays were also made to illustrate the difference in antioxidant components in the fresh compared to processed plant samples. Total phenolic content was higher in both the fresh blossoms (548.8 mg GAE g(-1) DW) and pods (254.7 mg GAE g(-1) DW) as compared to cooked blossoms (459.1 mg GAE g(-1) DW) and pods (198.1 mg GAE g(-1) DW). These results were supported by the HPLC chromatograms that demonstrated differences in type of phenolic compounds and consequent reduced levels following cooking treatments. These plants were found to be rich sources of antioxidant activity and phenolic content, and influenced by processing under the conditions of this study. C1 [Barth, M.

As described, the genus is split into three sections and includes more than 50 species, several of which are grown for lumber in Asia and the Philippines. Three species, L. indica, L. fauriei, and L. speciosa, are cultivated as ornamental trees. Crapemyrtle breeding in the United States began with L. indica but is now dominated by interspecific hybrids between L. indica and L. fauriei, mostly to improve resistance to powdery mildew. Recently interspecific hybrids have been created between L. indica and L. speciosa to increase flower size. Resulting progeny were sterile, suggesting a need to find bridging species or use embryo rescue. While most Lagerstroemia species lack the hardiness to be grown as ornamentals in colder temperate zones, there is potential for interspecific combinations to improve growth habit, disease resistance, and flower size. We used SSRs to assess genetic diversity and relatedness, and predict wide hybridization success. C1 [Rinehart, T.; Pounders, C.] USDA ARS, Thad Cochran Southern Hort Lab, Poplarville, MS USA.

Its future is threatened however, especially by an invasive fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus, Chalara fraxinea). The current study is focused on the health of ash in the Krkonose Mountains National Park, Czech Republic. On permanent research plots containing mixtures of ash and other species, the stands' health condition was evaluated annually in 2009-2015, by using radial increment and foliage of 350 trees as indicators, with emphasis on the cenotic arrangement and morphological type of the crown. The results show mean annual decrease in foliation of 1.6-2.7% for live trees and 2.4-4.6% in all live and dead trees, with an overall mortality of 16.3% of trees. During the latter half of the study, the defoliation dynamics and dieback accelerated, especially at lower altitude and waterlogged sites. In 2012-2015, the mean annual decrease in foliation reached 3.9% in live trees and 6.3% in all trees. The mean radial increment was significantly lower 2 years after the purported fungi attack and the mean foliage density was significantly lower 6 years after the attack compared to healthy trees. Based on the evaluation of the results and the literature, a set of practical guidelines was established for management strategies and conservation of threatened European ash in similar stand conditions.

Until recently, most blueberry plantings in northwestern United States were grown with a mulch of douglas fir sawdust, with additional nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied to compensate for N immobilized by sawdust decomposition. A field trial was established in Oct. 2006 in Aurora, Oregon, USA to evaluate alternative mulches (as partial or full replacement for sawdust) within a certified Organic system. Mulch treatments were: sawdust alone (9 cm depth); yard debris compost (4 cm) covered with sawdust (5 cm); and geotextile weed mat. The treatments were applied at planting and comprised one component of a factorial trial that included two cultivars ('Duke' and 'Liberty'), two bed configurations (raised and flat), two fertilizer sources (fish emulsion and feather meal), and two fertilizer rates (low and high). The organic mulches were reapplied, and the weed mat was replaced, after four growing seasons. Average cumulative yields over the first 5 years of fruit production (2008-12) were 9.0 kg/plant with sawdust, 9.3 kg/plant with 'compost + sawdust', and 9.6 kg/plant with weed mat; and the treatment with the highest cumulative yield, regardless of mulch, was 'Liberty' fertilized with either a low or high rate of feather meal. By 5-6 years after planting, soil OM was 37 g.kg(-1) with 'compost + sawdust', 32 g.kg(-1) with sawdust, and 30 g.kg(-1) with weed mat. Soil pH remained in the optimum range for blueberry in each treatment (pH 4.5-5.5), but soil K at a depth of 0-20 cm was higher with 'compost + sawdust' (400 mg.kg(-1)) than with sawdust or weed mat (250 mg.kg(-1) each). Leaf nutrient concentrations, including K, Ca, and Mg, were nonresponsive to the mulch treatments. Overall, this study demonstrated that application of yard debris compost provided a large benefit to soil OM maintenance and increased soil test K, but had no effect in 6 years on tissue nutrient concentrations in the blueberry leaves.

Crown gall symptoms on walnut are characterized by large tumors located near the crown of the tree but can occur near wounds, e.g., at the graft union on younger trees. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is ubiquitous in all California walnut growing regions surveyed to date. This information, coupled with the fact that the most widely used rootstock, Paradox, is susceptible to crown gall, highlights the importance of locating a genetic source of crown gall resistance for use in commercial walnut production. Several wild walnut species including Juglans microcarpa, J. cathayensis, J. ailantifolia and Pterocarya species were examined in an attempt to identify a source of crown gall resistance. Select Juglans microcarpa genotypes have consistently produced open pollinated seedlings which exhibited stable tolerance to crown gall disease as revealed by rescreening clonal copies of resistant individuals.

Currently the repository holds over 6500 accessions of germplasm of Actinidia (kiwi fruit), Diospyros (persimmon), Ficus (fig), Juglans (walnuts), Morus (mulberry), Olea (olive), Pistacia (pistachio), Prunus (stonefruits and almond), Punica (pomegranate), Vitis (grape), and other minor genera. Wild relatives are widely represented in these collections with about 91% of the taxa and 43% of the total accessions representing the wild gene pools. Research at the repository is mainly focused on genetic characterization of germplasm using molecular markers and morphological traits to quantify and describe genetic structure and differentiation within and among species and gene pools. Promoting the use of crop wild relatives (CWR) germplasm in genetic improvement of tree fruit and nut crops is our top priority. Presently, at the Davis repository, we are extensively utilizing Prunus and Juglans wild relatives for developing improved rootstocks with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. We will review and discuss the results of ongoing programs highlighting the importance of different CWRs as donors of genes for resistance to major soil borne diseases such as crown gall, Phytophthora rots, and nematodes in the rootstock improvement programs. Breeding for drought tolerance is another major thrust for which we are screening CWR germplasm to identify novel sources of drought tolerance to infuse into ongoing rootstock breeding programs.

AB Commercial production of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) in California has increased in recent years and the planted area reached 12,148 ha in 2011. The majority of the pomegranate trees are grown in the southern San Joaquin Valley which has a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and insignificant rainfall, irrigation is the only source of water for crop growth. As a new emerging minor crop, water and fertilization requirements for young and maturing pomegranate trees are not well understood. The purpose of this project is to determine water and nitrogen requirements of a developing pomegranate crop and follow it until full production. A replicated field experiment is used with two irrigation treatments (surface and subsurface drip) and three nitrogen levels (low, medium, and high). The pomegranate orchard was established in 2010 with a density of 558 trees/ha. A weighing lysimeter is used for irrigation management of the young trees. Leaf and soil sampling are carried out periodically for nitrogen analysis. In 2011, the trees were irrigated and fertilized uniformly to ensure uniform plant development. The first year of production was 2012, and cumulative applied water was 456 mm for the surface drip and 441 mm for the subsurface drip treatment. Nitrogen was applied by continuous injection of urea-sulphuric acid (10% N) and ammonium nitrate (20% N) at 52, 166, 279 kg N/ha. Total nitrogen levels in leaf tissue showed a rapid decline during leaf out, started to recover slowly after flowering but did not fully recover prior to harvest. Soil nitrate concentrations showed a gradual decrease from surface to 50 cm depth then remained nearly constant to 120 cm depth. No yield difference was observed between the nitrogen levels, however, significantly higher yield and larger fruit size was found in the subsurface drip irrigation treatment. C1 [Wang, D.; Ayars, J.

Eight standard cultivars were chosen from the UK collection and freeze-dried leaves were provided to the US group to allow harmonization of calling amplification product sizes. Comparison of the data from 61 accessions revealed 41 pairs of individuals with the same name and with identical allele sizes. Twelve accessions from Brogdale were different from those with the same name at NCGR at more than six of the 12 microsatellite loci indicating the possibility of mis-identified trees. Six accessions from Brogdale were identical to those with the same name at NCGR at 11 of the 12 microsatellite loci. Detailed comparisons of electropherograms revealed that three of these were in fact mis-scored and consequently these accessions can also be added to the original 41 identical pairs. Two accessions from Brogdale were identical to those with the same name at NCGR at 10 of the 12 microsatellite loci. Further comparison of electropherograms and comparison of phenotypic data is required before these accessions can be confirmed as different. Characterization of germplasm collections at this level should result in more accurate identification of accessions reducing the possibility of error when attempting to compare results between cultivars that may be mis-labeled.

It was also an important medicinal plant in the Middle Ages. The center of origin for Mespilus is the Trans-Caucasus region and traditional uses for the fruit extend through the Middle East, Central Asia and western Europe. The Mespilus collection at the USDA National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) at Corvallis, Oregon, USA, includes 60 seed and plant accessions with origins in 10 countries. Several ancient cultivars with different names and sources have indistinguishable phenotypes and synonymy has long been suspected. Twenty-one simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from apple and two from pear were tested for polymorphism in eleven medlar accessions. Nine apple SSRs were polymorphic in medlar. Five easy-to-score SSRs from apple were used to genotype 41 clones of M. germanica and one accession of the intergeneric hybrid species M. canescens growing at the NCGR. Seven very large fruited clones with five different countries of origin were genetically indistinguishable from 'Monstreuse d'Evreinoff'. Four clones from western Oregon sources with similar phenotypes also produced identical SSR profiles. Two other pairs of synonyms were also documented. One of the five SSRs (NZ05g8) distinguished 'Marron' and 'Macrocarpa' from the ancient English cultivar 'Nottingham'. Flow cytometry confirmed M. canescens as triploid and showed all M. germanica accessions to be diploid. The relationships determined in this study document the diverse genetic backgrounds represented in the NCGR medlar collection. These results also will permit the removal of unnecessary duplication and improve the efficient management of this collection.

The collection is represented by one tree per accession on a 0.5-ha orchard in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. We previously used nine apple-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs to determine genetic relationships in 92 European quince clones, but were unable to differentiate several groups of accessions. In this study, we replaced four of the less informative SSRs with four SSRs reported to amplify at least four alleles. This new fingerprinting set improved the power of differentiation, was amplified in two multiplex PCR reactions and was used to identify 106 European and four Chinese (Pseudocydonia sinensis) quince accessions. Some previously suspected synonyms were confirmed including several clones identical to the Quince A rootstock, cultivars that grouped with 'Portugal', and a 'Meech's Prolific'/'Bourgault' group. Unlike the previous SSR set, this improved panel distinguished a 'Tevloskaya' seedling from the 'Quince A' group. 'Gamboa' is the Portuguese cultivar known as 'Portugal' elsewhere, and their SSR fingerprints were identical. 'Champion', 'Smyrna' and 'Van Deman' at NCGR had the same fingerprint as 'Portugal' and are likely mislabeled. 'Lisle' from a nursery source had the same fingerprint as 'Pineapple'. Assorted seedlings and clones from Bulgaria formed a clade, and other seedlings from the same seed lot grouped close to each other and to their parent cultivar. Several quince cultivars have phenotypes consistent with putative polyploidy such as very large fruit and very large and thick leaves. However, flow cytometry showed all NCGR quince accessions to be diploid. The SSR fingerprints revealed large genetic diversity in the USDA Cydonia genebank and will be very useful management tools for eliminating mislabeled and redundant accessions.

Flow cytometry was performed on young leaf tissue from 1,284 genebank accessions to assess ploidy, and 93% were found to be diploid (2n=2x=34). All pear wild relative species examined were diploid. The European and interspecific hybrid cultivar collections included 85 triploid trees out of 997 tested. Only three Asian cultivars of 166 were found to be triploid. One European cultivar was tetraploid and one was aneuploid (2.3x). Six pear clones received as purported tetraploids were determined to be diploid, and two were chimeral, having both tetraploid and diploid tissue. Many of the pear cultivars identified as triploid were not previously known as such. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) or microsatellite-based profiles were generated for 19 triploid accessions and reference pear cultivars using a standard fingerprinting set of 12 SSR markers. Two to nine of the 12 SSRs generated three alleles in the triploid accessions, thus supporting the triploid determination. The use of flow cytometry to determine ploidy combined with SSR markers for genetic fingerprinting helped to confirm synonymy in several pear accessions. Ploidy results permitted the elimination of misidentified accessions that should have represented triploid or tetraploid genotypes. Knowledge about the ploidy of genebank accessions will help growers avoid using triploids as pollinizers and breeders avoid using sterile pollen when making crosses. The NCGR genebank provides propagation material for breeding and genetic research by on-line request through the USDA Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN).

Fruit were grown at the University of Maryland Extension Wye Research and Education Center in Queenstown, Maryland and transported to the USDA-ARS research facility in Beltsville, Maryland. Data from pears harvested in 2012 and 2013 were combined and mean values were calculated. Force required to puncture the epidermis varied from 11.3 ('Kosui') to 28.8 N ('Olympic'). Soluble solids ranged from 10.9 ('Atago') to 15.9 degrees Brix ('Shinsui'), and titratable acidity from 0.09 ('Kosui') to 0.18% malic acid equivalents ('Hosui'). All cultivars were susceptible to blue mold decay; mean lesion diameters ranged from 28.9 ('Isiiwase') to 39.1 mm ('Yoinashi') after 7 days storage at 25 degrees C. Variation in fruit quality and susceptibility to blue mold decay was observed among the nine cultivars. This information will help both small scale niche growers and commercial pear producers decide whether to immediately market or store fruit of specific Asian pear cultivars depending on their quality parameters and susceptibility to blue mold.

The objective of this study was to model the effect of replacing FJ with WF in children's diets. Methods: Data from children 2-18 years of age (n=6,090) participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2010 were examined. Usual intake (UI) of nutrients was determined from the two 24-hour dietary recalls using the National Cancer Institute method. The percent of the population above the Adequate Intake (AI) or below the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) were determined by two FJ replacement models: 1) FJ was replaced with a composite of the 20 most commonly consumed WF and 2) individual FJs were replaced by the same WF; both models were replaced with cup equivalents. The models were compared to no FJ replacement. Values with non-overlapping 95th confidence limits between no FJ replacement and each of the models were used to assess differences. Results: Model 1 resulted in decreased UI of total sugars (-5.7 grams/day) and vitamin C (-19.8 mg/day), and a higher percentage with intakes below the EAR for vitamin C (+7.7% units). Model 2 resulted in lower UI for vitamin C (-8.4 mg/day), higher UI for dietary fiber (+1.0 grams/day), and a higher percentage with UI above AI for dietary fiber (+1.6 % units). Conclusions: Replacing FJ with WF had only a limited impact on nutrient intake, with a "trade-off" for fiber with vitamin C and total sugars.

When possible management responses to an invader include costly or socially sensitive activities, decision makers tend to follow a more certain (i.e. risk-averse) course of action. We present a new mapping technique that assesses pest invasion risk from the perspective of a risk-averse decision maker. We demonstrate the approach by evaluating the likelihood that an invasive forest pest will be transported to one of the continental US states or Canadian provinces in infested firewood that may be carried by visitors to US federal campgrounds. We test the impact of the risk aversion assumption using distributions of plausible pest arrival scenarios generated with a geographically explicit model developed from data documenting camper travel across the study area. Next, we prioritize regions of high and low pest arrival risk via application of two stochastic ordering techniques that employ, respectively, first-and second-degree stochastic dominance rules, the latter of which incorporates the notion of risk aversion. We then identify regions in the study area where incorporating risk aversion changes a region's pest risk value considerably. While both methods identified similar areas of highest and lowest risk, they differed in how they demarcated moderate-risk areas. Each method provides a tractable way to incorporate decision-making preferences into final risk estimates, and thus helps to better align these estimates with particular decision-making scenarios about an organism of concern. Overall, in corporation of risk aversion helps to refine the set of locations that could be confidently targeted for costly inspections and outreach activities.

We first develop a framework of outbreak dynamics that emphasizes transitions from states dominated by negative feedback to those dominated by positive, density-dependent feedback. We then consider mechanisms by which temperature and precipitation changes can allow populations to breach critical thresholds, and the empirical data relating outbreaks to weather. Finally, we consider how anticipated climatic change, and relationships with new hosts and natural enemy guilds, may influence dynamics in new habitats. There is strong evidence that elevated temperature can increase over-wintering survival and decrease generation times of bark beetles, although evolved traits can also constrain response to warming in some habitats. Moreover, combinations of phenotypic plasticity, genotypic variation and physiological thresholds yield a broad range of conditions under which adults emerge synchronously, and thus can mass attack trees. There is likewise strong evidence that severe drought reduces tree defences against attack. Drought stress can occur through lower precipitation and/or higher temperatures that reduce soil moisture and/or raise vapour pressure deficit. We also delineate three categories of range modifications: increased and more persistent establishment in areas where trees experienced only intermittent exposure historically; establishment in areas dominated by host species but where local populations experienced little or no pressure historically; and movement into new areas containing susceptible species that have not been exposed previously. Each of these has been documented for bark beetles. Trees in areas that experienced minor or no exposure generally had lower defences than their more historically exposed counterparts. However, there can be lags in beetle behavioural responses. In some cases, more heterogeneous forest structure, more abundant local predators and competitors and low host nutritional quality could potentially lessen risk in new habitats. Direct comparative studies are needed to evaluate outbreak potentials following range expansions driven by climate warming. C1 [Raffa, Kenneth F.] Univ Wisconsin, Dept Entomol, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

Ruminant nutritionists seek to modify fermentation, specifically by in creasing ruminal propionic acid yield, reducing methanogenesis and decreasing ruminal proteolysis and deamination of dietary proteins in order to improve production efficiency. To date, a variety of methods have been investigated in an effort to meet these objectives. Carboxylic polyether compounds, 'ionophores', are an effective means of decreasing enteric CH4 emissions when included in ruminant diets. Although ruminant nutritionists have historically focused on feeding ionophores to increase efficiency and profitability, recent attention has focused on the ability of ionophores to impact global greenhouse gas production. This chapter examines the use of ionophores in cattle diets for the mitigation of enteric CH4 production. Issues like ionophore resistance and the impact of ionophore feeding on human health are also addressed. C1 [Bell, Natasha; Wickersham, Tryon] Texas A&M Univ, College Stn, TX 77843 USA.

Biosecurity measures seek to protect those systems from accidental or intentional introductions of species that might become injurious. Pest risk maps convey how the probability of invasion by an alien species or the potential consequences of that invasion vary spatially. These maps inform strategic and tactical decisions for invasive species management. Pest risk modellers must contend with the challenges of developing models that forecast the course or consequence of invasions and are more meaningful than could be obtained by chance, of demonstrating the validity of those models and of portraying results on maps in ways that will be useful for decision makers. Frequently, these forecasts depend on extrapolations from limited information to project how a species might be affected, for example, by changes in commerce, exposure to novel environments or associations with new dispersal vectors, or how these species might affect resident species or ecological processes. Consequently, pest risk maps often focus on one phase of the invasion process: arrival, establishment, spread or impact. Risk assessors use different analytical tools and information sources to address each phase. To be certain that pest risk models and maps are fully fit for purpose, models and maps must be critically evaluated at each stage of the development process. Invariably, errors will be revealed. The International Pest Risk Mapping Workgroup has offered a number of suggestions to improve the development of pest risk models and maps. In addition, short-term improvements are likely to be achieved through critical, objective assessments of model performance and greater transparency about model development.

Identifying the final destination of imports is critical in determining the likelihood of introduction by invasive alien species. In this chapter, we used the Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) database to model freight transport of imports to the USA with urban areas as their final destination. We also used FAF-based projections for the year 2040 for 20 pathways consisting of four commodities from five world regions of origin. After modelling the final distribution of imports among urban areas in the USA, we characterized the distribution patterns of imports and assessed the introduction potential of invasive alien species to urban forests. Freight pattern analyses were conducted for one category of agricultural products and three categories of imports whose products or packaging materials are associated with invasive alien species: wood products, non-metallic mineral products and machinery. We found that the type of import and the world region of origin greatly influenced the final distribution of imported products. A simple pest risk assessment model for invasive alien species in urban forests was built based on the percentage of forestland and volume of imports for each urban area. We found that several urban areas are potentially highly vulnerable to introductions from invasive alien species, regardless of import pathway. We conclude that inclusion of freight movement information is critical for proper risk assessment of invasive alien species.

The weather databases include historical daily weather databases for North America and the world. The templates include degree-days, generic empirical models, infection periods and the Generic Pest Forecast System (GPFS). The GPFS, currently in development, is a model that uses hourly inputs and includes modules for development rate, hot and cold mortality, population and potential damage. In this chapter, three examples illustrate the capabilities of nappfast: (i) pathway analysis for Lymantria dispar asiatica (Asian gypsy moth); (ii) epidemiological modelling for Phytophthora ramorum (the cause of sudden oak death and other plant diseases); and (iii) simple population modelling for Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly). One advanced feature of nappfast is cyber-infrastructure that supports the sharing of products and data between modellers and end users. The infrastructure includes tools for managing user access, uploading and correcting geographic coordinates for pest observations, and an interactive geographic information system environment for viewing input data and model products. NAPPFAST was used by the US Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine, although access has been granted to government and university cooperators working on risk analysis of invasive alien species.

Critical needs to estimate spread rates include the availability of surveys to characterize the spatial distribution of an invading species and the application of analytical methods to interpret survey data. In this chapter, we demonstrate the use of three methods, (i) square-root area regression, (ii) distance regression and (iii) boundary displacement, to estimate the rate of spread in the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, in the USA. The gypsy moth is a non-native species currently invading North America. An extensive amount of spatial and temporal distributional data exists for this invader. Consequently, it provides an ideal case study to demonstrate the use of methods to estimate spread rates. We rely on two sources of data: (i) polygonal data obtained from county quarantine records describing the geographical extent of gypsy moth establishment; and (ii) point data consisting of counts of male gypsy moths captured in pheromone-baited traps used to detect and monitor newly established gypsy moth populations. Both data sources were compiled during the gypsy moth's invasion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, USA. We show that even with spatially crude county records of infestation, spread rates can still be estimated using relatively simple mathematical approaches. We also demonstrate how the boundary displacement method can be used to characterize the spatial and temporal dynamics of spread.

This chapter explores how increased uncertainty in a risk model's numeric assumptions (i.e. its principal parameters) might affect the resulting risk map. We used a spatial stochastic model, integrating components for entry, establishment and spread, to estimate the risks of invasion and their variation across a two-dimensional gridded landscape for Sirex noctilio, a non-native woodwasp detected in eastern North America in 2004. Historically, S. noctilio has been a major pest of pine (Pinus spp.) plantations in the southern hemisphere. We present a sensitivity analysis of the mapped risk estimates to variation in six key model parameters: (i) the annual probabilities of new S. noctilio entries at US and Canadian ports; (ii) the S. noctilio population-carrying capacity at a given location; (iii) the maximum annual spread distance; (iv) the probability of local dispersal (i.e. at a distance of 1 km); (v) the susceptibility of the host resource; and (vi) the growth rate of the host trees. We used Monte Carlo simulation to sample values from symmetric uniform distributions defined by a series of nested variability bounds around each parameter's initial values (i.e. +/-5%, ..., +/-50%). The results show that maximum annual spread distance, which governs long-distance dispersal, was the most sensitive of the tested parameters. At +/-15% uncertainty in this parameter, mapped risk values shifted notably. No other parameter had a major effect, even at wider bounds of variation. Th e methods presented in this chapter are generic and can be used to assess the impact of uncertainties on the stability of pest risk maps or to identify any geographic areas for which management decisions can be made confidently, regardless of uncertainty.

In this chapter, we explore how the perceptions of that uncertainty can be incorporated into the pest risk assessment process. Uncertainty changes a decision maker's perceptions of risk; therefore, the direct incorporation of uncertainty may provide a more appropriate depiction of risk. Our methodology borrows basic concepts from portfolio valuation theory that were originally developed for the allocation of financial investments under uncertainty. In our case, we treat the model-based estimates of a pest invasion at individual geographical locations as analogous to a set of individual investment asset types that constitute a 'portfolio'. We then estimate the highest levels of pest invasion risk by finding the subset of geographical locations with the 'worst' combinations of a high likelihood of invasion and/or high uncertainty in the likelihood estimate. We illustrate the technique using a case study that applies a spatial pest transmission model to assess the likelihood that Canadian municipalities will receive invasive forest insects with commercial freight transported via trucks. The approach provides a viable strategy for dealing with the typical lack of knowledge about the behaviour of new invasive species and generally high uncertainty in model-based forecasts of ecological invasions. The technique is especially useful for under taking comparative risk assessments such as identification of geographical hot spots of pest invasion risk in large landscapes, or assessments for multiple species and alternative pest management options.

Although other methods have emerged as an effective alternative for the generation of monoclonal antibodies, the use of hybridoma technology remains a viable technique that is accessible to a wide number of laboratories that perform basic cell biological research. Hybridoma technology represents a relatively simple procedure at minimal cost for the continuous production of native whole immunoglobulins. This chapter will describe the materials and methodologies needed for the successful generation of monoclonal antibody (mAb)-producing hybridoma cell lines against target antigens.

Being one of the most sensitive immunoassays, ELISA offers commercial value in laboratory research, diagnostic of disease biomarkers, and quality control in various industries. This technique utilizes an enzyme-linked antibody binding to a surface-attached antigen. Subsequently, a substrate is added to produce either a color change or light signal correlating to the amount of the antigen present in the original sample. This chapter provides the procedures required for carrying out indirect ELISA, one of the many forms of ELISA, to detect polystyrene-immobilized antigen.

Besides routine laboratory usage, ELISA has been utilized in medical field and food industry as diagnostic and quality control tools. Traditionally performed in 96-well or 384-well polystyrene plates, the technology has expanded to other platforms with increase in automation. Depending on the antigen epitope and availability of specific antibody, there are variations in ELISA setup. The four basic formats are direct, indirect, sandwich, and competitive ELISAs. Direct ELISA is the simplest format requiring an antigen and an enzyme-conjugated antibody specific to the antigen. This chapter describes the individual steps for detection of a plate-bound antigen using a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody and luminol-based enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) substrate. The methodological approach to optimize the assay by chessboard titration is also provided. C1 [Lin, Alice V.] ARS, Produce Safety & Microbiol Unit PSM, PWA,WRRC, USDA, Albany, CA USA.

This is an important and routine method for protein analysis that depends on the specificity of antibody-antigen interaction and is useful for the qualitative or semiquantitative identification of specific proteins and their molecular weight from a complex mixture. This chapter will outline the requisite steps including gel electrophoresis of a protein sample, transfer of protein from a gel to a membrane support, and immunodetection of a target antigen.

Here we describe sandwich immunoassays performed in suspension on spectrally unique microspheres developed by Luminex. Luminex assays offer the benefit of multiplex analysis of large numbers of analytes in a single reaction. Because the microspheres are spectrally unique, many microspheres, each attached to various antibodies, can be added to a single sample. Luminex instruments can distinguish each microsphere and detect the intensity of a reporter signal for each microsphere. Results are reported in Median Fluorescent Intensities for each analyte. Luminex assays can be used to detect up to 500 analytes in a high-throughput format. Luminex refers to this technology as xMAP (R). Here we describe a routine protocol for a Luminex immunoassay. Other Luminex assays would have to be optimized for specific conditions according to their use. C1 [Lin, Andrew] US FDA, Alameda, CA USA. [Salvador, Alexandra; Carter, J.

Typically, IPCR allows a 10-1,000-fold increase in sensitivity over the analogous enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This is achieved by replacing the signal-producing antibody-enzyme conjugate of an ELISA with an antibody-DNA conjugate that serves as a marker for PCR amplification. The amplification power of the PCR allows for the detection of even single molecules of nucleic acid templates, making it well suited for a broad range of applications. Here, we describe the application of an IPCR assay for detection of trace amount of antigens using ricin as an example.

Four ecological seral stages representing early to late succession were identified quantitatively with a classification accuracy of 95%. All seral stages were significantly different (P < 0.001). Information required to predict seral stages within 0.2 acre or 0.08 ha macroplots by the model includes DBH of plains cottonwood trees >1 inch, stem number <1 inch and tree number. These are the only measurements required for seral stage classification and monitoring. Resource managers will be able to use this model to evaluate management actions by monitoring changes within and among seral stages. This model is simple to use, reliable, repeatable, accurate, and cost effective to meet resource management objectives and monitoring plans.

Two key variables, green ash basal area (ft(2)/acre) and Prunus species (% canopy cover) (Prunus species = chokecherry + American plum (P americana Marshall)), provide all the information required for the model to classify seral stages and to be used to monitor trends within the ecological type. The model quantitatively identified four seral stages (early to late succession), all significantly different (P < 0.001), with an overall accuracy of seral stage assignment of 95%. It also showed that succession is not linear, but goes through multiple states among the four seral stages. These four defined seral stages provide resource managers with options to quantitatively evaluate and manage resources to meet objectives and monitoring plans. The model provides coefficients for application and input to qualitative state and transition models and is simple to use, reliable, repeatable, accurate and cost effective.

It sits at the crossroads of interconversions of glutamate and arginine on the one hand and the production of proline, polyamines and several alkaloids on the other: all products of tremendous importance to living cells. While ornithine is typically not an abundant amino acid, the metabolic flux of nitrogen through this amino acid is presumably quite rapid because of the cellular contents of the products for which it serves as the substrate. Our current knowledge of the regulation of ornithine biosynthesis is rather limited and mostly dependent upon the research targeted at understanding arginine and proline metabolism, and to some extent polyamine and alkaloid biosynthesis. Whereas most of the ornithine biosynthesis in animals occurs on the way to the production of glutamate, proline and putrescine from dietary arginine, in plants the pathway works in the reverse order, i.e. glutamate, the first product of nitrogen assimilation is the primary source of arginine, proline and putrescine. An understanding of the regulation of ornithine metabolism could help us in the genetic manipulation of plants for stress tolerance (via manipulation of proline and gamma-aminobutyric acid, and the polyamine pathway), as well as in nutritional improvement (the cellular contents of important amino acids - arginine and citrulline among others). Based upon the recent observations of a strong connection between polyamine biosynthesis, ornithine metabolism and glutamic acid metabolism, it can be proposed that ornithine may act as a controlling metabolite to enhance nitrogen assimilation and, consequently, increased carbon assimilation.

Therefore, there is continued interest in understanding the biosynthesis and functional roles of polyamines in regulating plant metabolism, physiology and development. The role of polyamines in plant responses to environmental stresses has also elicited considerable interest in recent years. Four major biogenic amines and their derivatives commonly found in plants are putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), spermine (Spm) and thermospermine (T-Spm). The biosynthesis of these polyamines derives from arginine (Arg) and/or ornithine (Orn). This chapter's focus is on the Arg pathway. Genes encoding enzymes in the various steps of polyamine biosynthesis from Arg have been identified and characterized from a number of plants. The enzymes catalysing different steps in Arg pathway are: Arg decarboxylase, agmatine iminohydrolase/agmatine deiminase, N-carbamoylputrescine amidase/ N-carbamoyl Put amido hydrolase, S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, Spd synthase, Spm synthase and T-Spm synthase. Many of these have been purified and studied using heterologous expression systems. Advanced genetics tools and mutants have been used, including production of loss-of-function and gain-of-function plants. Thus far, the studies have provided unequivocal evidence of polyamine role in diverse aspects of plant life. Characterizations of isogenic mutants varying in their endogenous levels of different polyamines have revealed that polyamines are central to important signalling and metabolic pathways, and affect grain filling, senescence, nodulation, root development and fruit ripening, as well as having a role in the abiotic stress responses of plants.

Some are amino acid analogues, but most are not. This review covers a number of specific natural phytotoxic compounds by molecular target site. The inhibition of glutamine synthetase is of particular interest because a major herbicide is based on the microbial inhibitor of this enzyme, i.e. phosphinothricin. Natural inhibitors of plant asparagine, glutamate, ornithine, methionine and lysine synthesis are also discussed. Glutamate is one of the most abundant and significant amino acids in living organisms. Ornithine is a key intermediate in the urea cycle and is a precursor of polyamines. Methionine is an essential amino acid for animals and humans, but its metabolism to cysteine and use as a sulfur and methyl donor is of universal importance. Lysine is also an essential amino acid for animals and humans. The discussion includes the secondary effects of inhibitors on various aspects of plant physiology. Finally, natural compounds that may cause toxicity at a L-phenylalanine binding site, that appear to interfere with amino acid transporters and that can cause specific photodegradation of L-phenylalanine are mentioned.

This study investigated the impacts of past and future rainfall and air temperature variations upon water discharge, water outflow (from the watershed outlet), and evaporative loss in the Lower Yazoo River Watershed (LYRW), Mississippi, USA using the Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) model. Four future climate change (i.e., rainfall and air temperature change) scenarios, namely the CSIROMK35A1B, HADCM3B2, CSIROMK2B2, and MIROC32A1B scenarios, were used as input data to perform simulations in this study. Results showed that monthly variations of water discharge, evaporative loss, and water outflow were primarily due to the monthly fluctuations of rainfall rather than air temperature. On average, for all of the four scenarios, a 6.4% decrease in rainfall amount resulted in, respectively, 11.8 and 10.3% decreases in water outflow and evaporative loss. Our study demonstrated that rainfall had profound impacts upon water outflow and evaporative loss. In light of this predicted future decrease in water outflow, water resource conservation practices such as reducing ground and surface water usages that help to prevent streams from drying are vitally important in mitigating climate change impacts on stream flow in the LYRW.

In modern berry cultivars, viruses tend to be asymptomatic in single infections and symptoms only develop after plants accumulate multiple viruses. Most certification programs are based on visual observations. Infected, asymptomatic material may be propagated in the nursery system and shipped to farms where plants acquire additional viruses and develop symptoms. This practice may result in disease epidemics with great impact to producers and the natural ecosystem alike. In this chapter we present work that allows for the detection of known and discovery of new viruses in elite germplasm, having the potential to greatly reduce virus dispersal associated with movement of propagation material.

Using brood deliberately infested with marked mites, we investigated the association between the removal of mite-infested brood and the removal of exposed foundress mites in Italian (IHB) and Russian honey bee (RHB) colonies. Our results showed that RHB colonies removed more mite-infested brood in significantly less time (average=87.92.0% for 2.6 +/- 0.1days) than IHB colonies (average=61.9 +/- 7.3% for 3.2 +/- 0.1days or 19.3% per day). For the inoculated brood that was not removed, RHB colonies had lower proportions of brood cells containing: (a) live marked mites regardless of reproductive status (RHB=4.4 +/- 1.3%; IHB=17.7 +/- 5.9%); (b) dead marked mites (RHB=1.1 +/- 0.5%; IHB=7.1 +/- 2.2%); (c) lost introduced marked mites (RHB=6.6 +/- 1.6%; IHB=13.3 +/- 2.8%); and (d) reproductive marked mites (RHB=8.3 +/- 6.3%; IHB=23.8 +/- 6.9%) than IHB colonies did. These observations suggest that RHB colonies indiscriminately remove mite-infested brood regardless of mite status. Regarding trapped mites (i.e., those found below a modified queen excluder), the number of mite-infested brood cells removed positively correlated with the number of mites that were trapped in both honey bee stocks. The majority of the trapped mites fell during the first three days post mite inoculation, which coincided with the highest rates of brood removal. The highest proportions of trapped gravid foundress mites were also recorded during this time, when host bees were early in their development. The comparatively strong and rapid hygienic response of RHB to mite-infested brood and the associated removal of infesting foundresses are probably parts of a suite of factors responsible for suppressing V. destructor populations in RHB colonies.

Manual entry and analysis of DR is time-consuming and expensive. New electronic tools for diet entry by clients and research participants may reduce the cost and effort of nutrient intake estimation. Objective: To determine the validity of electronic diet recording, we compared responses to 3-day DR kept by Tap & Track software for the Apple iPod Touch and records kept on the Nutrihand website to DR coded and analyzed by a research dietitian into a customized US Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient analysis program, entitled GRAND (Grand Forks Research Analysis of Nutrient Data). Methods: Adult participants (n=19) enrolled in a crossover-designed clinical trial. During each of two washout periods, participants kept a written 3-day DR. In addition, they were randomly assigned to enter their DR in a Web-based dietary analysis program (Nutrihand) or a handheld electronic device (Tap & Track). They completed an additional 3-day DR and the alternate electronic diet recording methods during the second washout. Entries resulted in 228 daily diet records or 12 for each of 19 participants. Means of nutrient intake were calculated for each method. Concordance of the intake estimates were determined by Bland-Altman plots. Coefficients of determination (R-2) were calculated for each comparison to assess the strength of the linear relationship between methods. Results: No significant differences were observed between the mean nutrient values for energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fatty acids, total fiber, or sodium between the recorded DR analyzed in GRAND and either Nutrihand or Tap & Track, or for total sugars comparing GRAND and Tap & Track. Reported values for total sugars were significantly reduced (P<.05) comparing Nutrihand to GRAND. Coefficients of determination (R-2) for Nutrihand and Tap & Track compared to DR entries into GRAND, respectively, were energy .56, .01; carbohydrate .58, .08; total fiber .65, .37; sugar .78, .41; protein .44, .03; fat .36,.03; saturated fatty acids .23,.03; sodium .20, .00; and for Nutrihand only for cholesterol .88; vitamin A .02; vitamin C .37; calcium .05; and iron .77. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrates high variability in individual responses for both electronic capture programs with higher 95% limits of agreement for dietary intake recorded on Tap & Track. Conclusions: In comparison to dietitian-entered 3-day DR, electronic methods resulted in no significant difference in mean nutrient estimates but exhibited larger variability, particularly the Tap & Track program. However, electronic DR provided mean estimates of energy, macronutrients, and some micronutrients, which approximated those of the dietitian-analyzed DR and may be appropriate for dietary monitoring of groups. Electronic diet assessment methods have the potential to reduce the cost and burden of DR analysis for nutrition research and clinical practice.

Pyrogenic trees also dominated during the middle Holocene Thermal Maximum period, associated with increasing indigenous populations and high charcoal abundance on most sites. During Neoglacial Cooling (3300 to 150 BP) charcoal levels and pyrogenic trees remained high in the central and southern regions apparently due to Native American and early European burning trumping colder climate. In northern regions, oak-pine and charcoal abundance were distributed on intermittent dry and/or Native American sites. High levels of charcoal and pyrogenic species during the early Holocene and Neoglacial Cooling represent important anomalies in the ecological history of the eastern U.S. While the importance of warmer and drier climate is evident throughout, the Early Anthropocene burning hypothesis is plausible for the eastern U.S. where extensive lightning fires are rare, outside of the southeast coastal plain. The cessation of Native American burning and other early European disturbances were transformative to the ecology of the eastern U.S. C1 [Abrams, Marc D.] Penn State Univ, Dept Ecosyst Sci & Management, 307 Forest Resources Bldg, University Pk, PA 16802 USA.

Fuels management activities are directly linked to carbon (C) storage and rates of C sequestration by forests. To evaluate the effects of prescribed burning on forest C dynamics, we quantified consumption and accumulation of the forest floor and understory vegetation and measured net CO2 exchange in upland forest stands in the New Jersey Pinelands burned with prescribed fires. Prescribed fires released an average of 470 +/- 137 g C m(-2) from the litter layer and understory, equivalent to approximately 2-3 yr of sequestered C in undisturbed upland forests. Canopy and understory foliage averaged 85% of preburn periods, and CO2 uptake at near-full sunlight conditions averaged 79% of preburn levels during the following growing season. On an annual basis, stands lost C during the year of the burn, but released C was recovered within 2-3 yr. Field measurements and model simulations suggest that continued prescribed burning in upland fire-dependent pine-dominated stands would have little appreciable effect on long-term forest C dynamics at the landscape scale.

Resource managers with three background types were surveyed. All participants generally considered themselves to be well-informed on climate change issues, although each resource manager group had different perceptions of climate change effects on natural resources. They shared similar views on the most potentially useful sources of information and that there was less concern at the Ranger District level about climate change. Administrative issues, including funding, were viewed by all participants as serious obstacles inhibiting agency action. Results of these surveys should provide insight for increasing science delivery efforts, providing educational opportunities, and developing guidance and training for FS resource managers. As a result, the agency can continue to provide science-based tools which assist in conserving and maintaining healthy, resilient ecosystems.

We performed a detailed survey of financial and production parameters for 30 of the approximately 992 CFEs in Mexico in order to estimate costs, income, profits, and sustainability of harvest levels for forest management, harvest, and sawmilling. Fourteen of the 30 CFEs harvested more timber than they grew in 2011, suggesting issues with sustainability, but only two of these had harvest far above annual growth, and five of those were only a fraction more than annual growth. All of the 30 CFEs except one made profits in forest management and timber growing. For timber harvesting, 22 of 30 CFEs made profits, but the losses were small for the other CFEs. For the 23 CFEs with sawmills, 18 made profits and five had losses; the greatest returns for the CFEs accrued to those with sawmills for lumber production. On average, the CFEs surveyed had high costs of production relative to other countries, but the CFEs were still profitable in national lumber markets. If Mexico were to begin importing large amounts of lumber from lower cost countries, this could pose a threat to CFE profitability.

The first policy is the traditional harvesting of pine beetle-killed trees and burning of the slash piles of residual materials on-site. The second involves harvesting but moving the residual material off-site and converting it into biochar, thus reducing some of the risk and environmental effects associated with burning on-site. A contingent valuation method mail survey was used to evaluate these two management options. The survey achieved a 47% response rate. We used a nonparametric Turnbull estimator to calculate the willingness to pay (WTP) for burn on-site and off-site biochar conversion. The calculated WTP for burn on-site and off-site biochar conversion options (beyond the cost of the status quo level of forest treatment) is $411 and $470 per household per year, respectively.

In common with many other developing countries, this has been driven by a combination of population increases and the related effects on consumption as well as a demand for increased food security. Inevitably, the sector growth has come at the expense of a parallel increase in water consumption. Indeed, it is estimated that more than 80% of all of the water used in the Kingdom relates to agricultural production. More concerning is that the vast majority of this water is derived from non-renewable fossil groundwater extraction. To exacerbate the problem, groundwater extraction is largely unmonitored, meaning that there is very little accounting of water use on a routine basis. In the absence of techniques to directly quantify abstractions related to agriculture at large spatial scales, a mechanism for inferring crop water use as an indirect surrogate is required.

This paper aims to estimate VWC using L band active and passive radar/radiometer datasets obtained from a NASA ground-based Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) simulator known as ComRAD (Combined Radar/Radiometer). Several approaches to derive vegetation information from radar and radiometer data such as HH, HV, VV, Microwave Polarization Difference Index (MPDI), HH/VV ratio, HV/(HH+VV), HV/(HH+HV+VV) and Radar Vegetation Index (RVI) are tested for VWC estimation through a generalized linear model (GLM). The overall analysis indicates that HV radar backscattering could be used for VWC content estimation with highest performance followed by HH, VV, MPDI, RVI, and other ratios.

Time series of high temporal resolution, up to daily, satellite remotely sensed data are used in establishing crop growth estimation model and estimate the growth stages. The daily surface reflectance data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is used as the base data to calculate indices, form condition profiles, construct crop growth model, and estimate crop growth stage. Different crops have different condition profiles. To take into consideration of crop differences, models are built on each crop type. In the United States, ten major crops have been chosen to build crop growth stage estimation models using historical date tracing back to 2000 when MODIS launched. A kernel, double sigmoid model, is used to model the single mode crop growth season. The basic core model is double sigmoid model. The Best Index Slope Extraction (BISE) is applied to pre-filter the daily crop condition index. Estimated results have reasonably high accuracy, with root mean square error less than 10% on the state level evaluation.

In order to better estimate mangrove biomass, carbon dynamics and land coverage changes, mangrove canopy height is a key parameter. However, there is a surprisingly absence of information needed for global-scale mangrove height mapping because of the lack of high spatial resolution data, available spaceborne data sets, and modeling techniques. In recent studies, the first single-pass TanDEM-X data showed a great possibility of mangrove canopy height estimate with accuracies comparable to airborne lidar canopy height model with single- and dual-Pol-InSAR techniques. Based on the method mentioned in [2], we here generated large-scale mangrove canopy height map with a 12-m spatial resolution over Sundarbans, the world largest mangrove forest, from existing global TDX acquisitions. The inversion result for mangrove canopy height was validated against field measurement data; a correlation coefficient of 0.852 and a RMSE of 0.774 m.

South Dakota U.S. geospatial crop frequency (2008-2013) and cultivation (2013) data layers created from NASS Cropland Data Layers are utilized to develop a novel area sampling frame (ASF) stratification design. Eight corn planting frequency strata are derived using a k-means clustering method based on mean corn planting frequency calculated at the NASS ASF primary sampling unit level. The corn planting frequency strata are then sub stratified based on percent cultivation, which, together, provide more crop specific information than the current NASS ASF based on percent cultivation alone. Using 2014 Farm Service Agency Common Land Unit Data as in situ validation, it is found that this novel ASF design predicts crop specific planting patterns well. These results indicate that the new stratification method has potential to improve ASF accuracy, efficiency and crop estimates.

Crop residues and soils are spectrally different in the absorption features associated with cellulose and lignin. Our objectives were to: ( 1) assess the effects of soil and crop residue water contents on the remotely sensed estimates of crop residue cover and ( 2) propose a method to mitigate these effects. Reflectance spectra of diverse crops and soils were acquired in the laboratory and the analyses was extended to agricultural fields with different crop residue covers and a wide range of moisture conditions. The slope of the linear relationship with the Cellulose Absorption Index was very sensitive to moisture conditions, whereas the slope of the Shortwave Infrared Normalized Difference Residue Index was altered in a lesser extent. Water indices that provided reliable estimates of the water content could be used to estimate crop residue cover corrected by moisture conditions.

A large fraction of this crop condition assessment is based on satellite imagery and ground data analysis. The baseline soil moisture estimates that are currently used for this analysis are based on output from the modified Palmer two-layer soil moisture model, updated to assimilate near-real time observations derived from the Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite. The current data assimilation system is based on a 1-D Ensemble Kalman Filter approach, where the observation error is modeled as a function of vegetation density. This allows for offsetting errors in the soil moisture retrievals. The observation error is currently adjusted using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) climatology. In this paper we explore the possibility of utilizing microwave-based vegetation optical depth instead. C1 [Mladenova, Iliana E.; Bolten, John. D.] NASA, Goddard Space Flight Ctr, Greenbelt, MD USA.

In this paper, we discuss the robot-world, hand-eye calibration problem which has been modeled as the linear relationship AX = ZB, where X and Z are the unknown calibration matrices composed of rotation and translation components. While there are many different approaches to determining X and Z, including linear and iterative methods, we parameterize the rotation components using Euler angles and find a solution using Levenberg-Marquadt iterative approach. We also offer a method to determine A, X, and Z, by formulating the robot-world, hand-eye calibration problem in terms of camera reprojection error. We compare both of these approaches to the state-of-the-art and conclude that our approaches yield lower values of camera reprojection error. In addition, we demonstrate the improved reconstruction accuracy when using the robot-world, hand-eye calibrations produced from our methods.

In this work, considering a selection of 31 reference papers, we assessed how the scientific community is using different methods to map treeline position and/or shifts using spatial datasets. We found that a significant number of published studies suffer from a low degree of awareness of processed data, which outcomes in potentially unreliable results that may compromise the validity of inference from the studies. Moreover, we propose an operational approach for easily incorporating consideration of spatial data quality, so as to improve reliability of results and better support ecological conclusions. Finally, we present a simulation of potential treeline vertical error for the Alpine region of Northern Italy, as driven by primary data quality.

TI Cotton Half-Seed Selection Strategy for Gossypol and Its Plus Isomer SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Review ID ENANTIOMERS; ACCUMULATION; ACID; L. AB Successful breeding programs optimize time and resources to produce elite lines. Selecting individual plants in the F-2 generation is an efficient strategy if the trait is highly heritable and nondestructive methods exist to analyze the seed. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seed has limited uses because of gossypol, a toxic compound found in the seed. Gossypol exists in two enantiomeric forms with the (+) less toxic than the (-) form. Reducing gossypol or increasing the (+) enantiomer in the seed would increase the amount that could be fed to livestock, chicken, or fish. Rapid, cost-effective methods were developed to measure (+) and (-) gossypol in the cotyledon (chalazal) half of a seed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a reduced scale. Techniques were also developed to propagate the embryo (micropylar) half of the seed. The techniques were used to develop elite lines with varied gossypol levels produced one year earlier than possible with more conventional breeding strategies. The half-seed methods combined with a modified HPLC gossypol assay provided a simple, cost-effective method to breed for modified gossypol content and enantiomer composition. These methods can be combined with other testing or evaluation techniques to further optimize selection efficiency.

TI Assessing a Pneumatic Fractionator as a Lint Cleaning Device SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Review AB A pneumatic fractionator was assessed as a lint cleaning device for ginned lint. Results from a test that used two line pressures and three fractionation times showed that higher line pressure and longer fractionation time produced fiber that was shorter in staple length, contained more neps, and had less dust, trash, and visible foreign matter (including leaf). Short fiber content was not different among fractionator treatments, and all treatments had varying degrees of classer prep calls. The fractionator was effective in removing foreign matter. Overall, the least aggressive treatment had the best fiber properties, and the most aggressive fractionator treatment did the most cleaning. Results from a lint cleaning test that compared the least and most aggressive fractionator treatments with a conventional saw-type lint cleaner showed that the fractionator did not preserve fiber length any better than conventional lint cleaning. The most aggressive fractionator treatment was more effective in removing foreign matter, but had considerably more neps than conventional lint cleaning. The fractionator treatments received prep calls and the conventional lint cleaner treatments did not. The most aggressive fractionator treatment was more harmful to fiber than conventional lint cleaning, and the least aggressive treatment had fiber properties similar to one saw-type lint cleaner. The most aggressive fractionator treatment had the highest cleaning efficiency, largest amount of lint cleaner waste, and lowest bale value. The highest bale value was achieved with either no lint cleaning or with the least aggressive fractionator treatment. Further work is needed to determine the interactions of the fractionator with different cultivars and cottons of varying foreign matter content as well as determine any effects of the fractionator on spinning performance.

TI Twin-Row Production of Cotton Genotypes Varying in Leaf Shape SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Review ID SINGLE-ROW; CANOPY CHARACTERISTICS; LIGHT INTERCEPTION; PLANT-POPULATION; GROWTH; YIELD; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; MORPHOLOGY; MIDSOUTH AB Twin-row planting for soybean and maize has proliferated in Mid-South production systems during the past decade. Knowledge of cotton production with twin-row planting is limited. The objective of this research was to determine how cotton leaf-type isolines (varying in size and the degree of lobing) performed in both twin-row and single-row planting patterns. Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012. Four genotypes (MD 65-11 normal, MD 65-11 okra, MD 65-11 super okra, and ST 4554B2RF) were grown in both twin-row and single-row planting patterns. Dry matter partitioning, leaf area index, light interception, nodes above white bloom, lint yield, and fiber quality data were collected. The response to twin-row planting when compared to single-row planting was consistent across all the cotton genotypes evaluated in this study. Twin-row canopies produced a greater early season leaf area index that intercepted more sunlight than the single-row pattern, but these differences diminished as the season progressed. Twin-row plots reached cutout approximately two days earlier than the single-row plots. Despite increased early season leaf area production and sunlight interception, no differences between planting patterns were detected for lint yield, the yield components, or fiber quality traits. Convenience of using a standard planting configuration across multiple crops may be the only justification for twin-row planting in cotton because neither lint yield nor fiber quality were impacted.

TI Cotton Population and Yield Following Different Cover Crops and Termination Practices in an Alabama No-Till System SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID CONSERVATION TILLAGE; WEED SUPPRESSION; ROLLER-CRIMPER; IMPACT; SOIL AB In Alabama, typically, a three-wk period is required after rolling down a cover crop to achieve termination rates >90%, and to eliminate competition for water between the cover crop and cash crop. Cover crop termination can be sped up by applying herbicides during the rolling process. However, for organically grown cotton, synthetic herbicides cannot be used. This experiment evaluated the effectiveness of terminating two cover crops using a roller/crimper alone and with glyphosate, or two organic herbicides at different application rates to determine the effects of cover crop termination practices on cotton population and yield. In the three growing seasons, rye termination rates were between 99% and 100% for all rolling treatments three wk after rolling. Similar rates were generated for crimson clover but only in 2011, as crimson clover termination rates in two yr were lower. Organic herbicides did not increase cover crop termination compared with glyphosate and roller alone. In 2009 there was no difference in cotton population following rye and crimson clover. In 2010, cotton population following clover was higher than with cereal rye, although, in 2011, cotton population following rye was higher compared to crimson clover. In three growing seasons, seed cotton yield following rye was significantly higher compared to crimson clover. In 2010, rainfall deficit and high temperatures negatively impacted cotton growth and substantially reduced yields compared to 2009. Overall, rolling treatments did not affect cotton population and yield. In contrast, cotton population and yield were affected by different weather conditions during 2009, 2010, and 2011 growing seasons.

TI First Stage Seed-Cotton Cleaning System Particulate Emission Factors for Cotton Gins: Particle Size Distribution Characteristics SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID MATTER; DUST AB This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of total particulate stack sampling and particle size analyses. In 2006 and again in 2013, the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a more stringent National Ambient Air Quality Standard for particulate matter with nominal diameter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m (PM2.5). This created an urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues, because EPA AP-42 cotton gin PM2.5 emission factors were limited. In addition, current EPA AP-42 emission factor quality ratings for cotton gin PM10 (particulate matter with nominal diameter less than or equal to 10 mu m) data are questionable, being extremely low. The objective of this study was to characterize particulate emissions for 1st stage seed-cotton cleaning systems from cotton gins across the cotton belt based on particle size distribution analysis of total particulate samples from EPA-approved stack sampling methods. Average measured PM2.5, PM6, and PM10 emission factors based on the mass and particle size analyses of EPA Method 17 total particulate filter and wash samples from seven gins (18 total test runs) were 0.0045 kg/227-kg bale (0.010 lb/500-lb bale), 0.042 kg/bale (0.092 lb/bale), and 0.072 kg/bale (0.159 lb/bale), respectively. The 1st stage seed-cotton cleaning system particle size distributions were characterized by an average mass median diameter of 10.7 mu m (aerodynamic equivalent diameter). Based on system average emission factors, the ratio of PM2.5 to total particulate was 2.99%, PM6 to total particulate was 27.5%, and PM10 to total particulate was 47.5%.

During cotton harvesting, ginning, and processing, trash size reduction occurs, thus complicating its removal and identification. This trash causes problems by increasing ends down in yarn formation and thus processing efficiency. The Uster (R) High Volume Instrument (HVI) and Shirley Analyzer are extensively used to determine trash levels in cotton lint, but they do not specifically identify its origin. This study was performed to determine the potential for recognizing differences between botanical cotton trash mixtures via near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR/FT-IR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A "proof of concept" was demonstrated that showed the promise of NIR and ATR/FT-IR spectroscopy along with TGA to be employed to identify binary mixtures of botanical cotton trash. In the case of the ATR/FT-IR results, the leaf and seed coat mixtures in the presence of cotton yielded the lowest accuracy of the trash mixtures. This might have arisen from the presence of noncellulosics in the samples.

Crop Sci 27: 639-648, 1987; Paterson et al. Nature 335: 721-726, 1988), but earlier studies were often hindered by the expense and time required to identify large numbers of polymorphic genetic markers that differentiated the parental genotypes and then to genotype them on large segregating mapping populations. High-throughput sequencing has provided an efficient means to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can then be assayed rapidly on large populations with array-based techniques (Gupta et al. Heredity 101: 5-18, 2008). Alternatively, high-throughput sequencing methods such as restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq) (Davey et al. Nat Rev Genet 12: 499-510, 2011; Baird et al. PloS ONE 3: e3376, 2008) and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) (Elshire et al. PLoS One 6: 2011; Glaubitz et al. PLoS One 9: e90346, 2014) can be used to identify and genotype polymorphic markers directly. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers and causal variants is needed to detect QTL. The earliest QTL mapping methods used backcross and F-2 generations of crosses between inbred lines, which have high levels of linkage disequilibrium (dependent entirely on the recombination frequency between chromosomal positions), to ensure that QTL would have sufficiently high linkage disequilibrium with one or more markers on sparse genetic linkage maps. The downside of this approach is that resolution of QTL positions is poor. The sequencing technology revolution, by facilitating genotyping of vastly more markers than was previously feasible, has allowed researchers to map QTL in situations of lower linkage disequilibrium, and consequently, at higher resolution. We provide a review of methods to identify QTL with higher precision than was previously possible. We discuss modifications of the traditional biparental mapping population that provide higher resolution of QTL positions, QTL fine-mapping procedures, and genome-wide association studies, all of which are greatly facilitated by high-throughput sequencing methods. Each of these procedures has many variants, and consequently many details to consider; we focus our chapter on the consequences of practical decisions that researchers make when designing QTL mapping studies and when analyzing the resulting data. The ultimate goal of many of these studies is to resolve a QTL to its causal sequence variation. C1 [Jamann, Tiffany M.] N Carolina State Univ, Dept Crop Sci, Raleigh, NC 27695 USA.

Therefore, we used capillary electrophoresis-and fluorescence-based DNA fingerprinting together with single pollen collection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to investigate simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker segregation among 964 single pollens and 288 self-progenies (S-1) of sugarcane cultivar LCP 85-384. Twenty SSR DNA fragments (alleles) were amplified by five polymorphic SSR markers. Only one non-parental SSR allele was observed in 2392 PCRs. SSR allele inheritance was in accordance with Mendelian laws of segregation and independent assortment. Highly significant correlation coefficients were found between frequencies of observed and expected genotypes in pollen and S-1 populations. Within the S-1 population, the most frequent genotype of each SSR marker was the parental genotype of the same marker. The number of genotypes was higher in pollen than S-1 population. PIC values of the five SSR markers were greater in pollen than S-1 populations. Eleven of 20 SSR alleles (55%) were segregated in accordance with Mendelian segregation ratios expected from pollen and S-1 populations of a 2n = 10x polyploid. Six of 20 SSR alleles were segregated in a 3: 1 (presence: absence) ratio and were simplex markers. Four and one alleles were segregated in 77: 4 and 143: 1 ratios and considered duplex and triplex markers, respectively. Segregation ratios of remaining alleles were unexplainable. The results provide information about selection of crossing parents, estimation of seedling population optimal size, and promotion of efficient selection, which may be valuable for sugarcane breeders.

Peanut drying is an essential task for safe peanut storage. The rate at which peanuts are dried can also affect the flavor and milling qualities. Current peanut drying processes require substantial human interaction and often lack efficiency. Therefore, a quarter-scale peanut drying system was developed to study automation of the drying process. This development led to the implementation of a portable peanutdrying monitoring system, capable of measuring drying parameters in real-time on 45-ft semi-trailers. The monitoring system uses a sensor network containing five sensors, one of which is a microwave moisture sensor, capable of in-shell kernel moisture content determination, to monitor drying parameters. These parameters include temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air, temperature and kernel moisture content of the peanut bed, and the temperature of the inlet air. Appropriate signal conditioning was applied to each sensor output so that all voltages would be suitable for the analog to digital converter of the microcontroller. Such implementation would reduce overdrying and underdrying, preserve peanut quality, and provide more efficient control of the heater, minimizing energy consumption and labor requirements.

Solid biomass can be formed from the waste products of many different products. In this study, the effects of temperature and pellet material type on the dielectric properties were investigated. Temperatures of peanut hull pellets were increased in 10 degrees C increments ranging from 0 -50 degrees C and dielectric properties at various moisture contents were determined. Further work was performed in investigating the dielectric properties of pine compared to those of peanut-hull pellets to determine whether a "unified" calibration for moisture content could be developed. Finally, the effect of pine-pellet degradation into sawdust was investigated to determine whether this would cause a change in the dielectric properties. Results showed that a temperature compensated calibration for moisture content could be developed for peanut-hull pellets. Additionally, a unified calibration for moisture content was achieved at 10 GHz. C1 [McKeown, Murat Sean; Tollner, Ernest William] Univ Georgia, Coll Engn, Athens, GA 30602 USA.

When either error is present, we call the problem the Shape from Inconsistent Silhouette (SfIS) problem. In this paper, we show how small camera calibration error can be corrected when using a previously-published SfIS technique to generate a reconstruction, by using an Iterative Closest Point (ICP) approach. We give formulations under two scenarios: the first of which is only external camera calibration parameters rotation and translation need to be corrected for each camera and the second of which is that both internal and external parameters need to be corrected. We formulate the problem as a 2D-3D ICP problem and find approximate solutions using a nonlinear minimization algorithm, the Levenberg-Marquadt method. We demonstrate the ability of our algorithm to create more representative reconstructions of both synthetic and real datasets of thin objects as compared to uncorrected datasets.

To assess productivity trends, total factor productivity (TFP) is generally preferred to partial productivity indexes as an indicator of technical and efficiency changes because it is more closely related to the unit costs of production. But measuring TFP is demanding of data, and developing comprehensive and comparable indexes of international agricultural TFP has been challenging. This study proposes a growth accounting approach, using FAO data on quantity changes in inputs and outputs and aggregating input changes using cost shares derived from other sources, as a consistent way of constructing agricultural TFP indexes for world agriculture. This produces aggregate growth rates for agricultural output, input and TFP at the country, regional and global levels. Results suggest that the rate of agricultural TFP growth accelerated in recent decades, especially in developing countries. Most regions of the world now rely on productivity-based growth rather than resource-based growth to raise agricultural output. C1 [Fuglie, Keith] Econ Res Serv, USDA, Washington, DC USA.

The history of cotton cultivation is at least 3000 yr old. There are four cultivated cotton species, two diploid species and two tetraploid species. In this chapter, the origin and history of these four species as a crop were discussed based on theoretical consideration and archaeological evidence. Domestication of wild tetraploid cotton as an annual day-neutral crop was a big step toward cotton agriculture. Spread of cotton to the United States and its wide cultivation in this country facilitated cotton becoming a world crop. Technology advancements in cultivation, ginning, and spinning solidified the important role of cotton in the world economy. New technologies such as transgenic varieties are revolutionizing the cotton industry. This chapter provides a historical view of how cotton has become as a world crop.

CULTIVARS; BARBADENSE L; IN-SITU; RESISTANCE; GENOME AB The US National Cotton Germplasm Collection (NCGC) is distinct in that it is the largest publicly available cotton (Gossypium L.) collection in the world, with a history of support and interaction from federal, state, private, university, and international institutions. In the last century, the rapid rise of mechanization and the resulting profitability of cotton production in the United States contributed directly to the early and rapid development of the NCGC, which in turn has been a foundation for continued success in cotton research and breeding, nationally and worldwide. Coordination and collaboration with national and international collections and institutions have contributed significantly to the growth, maintenance, distribution, and conservation of germplasm resources of the NCGC. Efforts to characterize the genetic and phenotypic diversity of the collection have contributed greatly to its utility as a resource in cotton improvement efforts.

As such, its flowering structures are sympodial axillary branches. The plant produces both vegetative and flowering structures throughout the productive season. The vegetative axis is composed of a tap root and vertical stem with alternate leaves, with a 3/8 turn, which continues to produce nodes as long as moisture and temperature allow. Flowering branches are sympodial and arise from the first (and sometimes second) axillary branch position at leaves above about the fifth node on the stem. Flowers develop with three floral bracts, a calyx whorl, five petals, and a 4- or 5-locule capsule in which six to nine ovules develop. Seeds require 35 to 60 d to mature. The epidermis of the seed develops two types of fibers: short (5 mm or less) linters and long (25-35 mm.) lint fibers. C1 [Mauney, Jack R.] ARS, USDA, Mesa, AZ USA.

Approximately 2 mo of developmental process are required to produce fully mature fibers. The temporal occurrences of four distinct fiber developmental stages consisting of initiation, elongation, secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis, and maturation are tightly regulated and determine the yield and physical properties of the cotton fibers. With the advent of cutting edge genomics along with conventional genetic and breeding tools, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks controlling fiber development has been dramatically expanded in recent years. The acquired knowledge is being used for improving cotton fibers. To overview the recent advances and provide potential strategies for improving cotton fiber, the chapter covers (i) commonly used techniques for elucidating regulatory mechanisms on fiber development; (ii) morphological and physiological changes during cotton fiber development; and (iii) recent advances in cotton functional genomics.

Mauney and is written to extend basic information regarding the morphological adaptations to the wide diversity of cotton production regions. Our goal, similar to the previous edition of this book, is to outline the fundamental vegetative framework of the cotton plant and discuss its phenotypic plasticity in terms of production regions and management schemes. Additionally, we attempt to highlight the key limiting factors across broad regions of production and primary mitigation strategies employed by growers across those regions, focusing specifically on season length, water requirements and availability, and key climate characteristics. Not included in this chapter is detailed information about soil types, which can vary significantly within each production region.

Crop management includes making decisions on planting date, plant population, irrigation, and the use of plant growth regulators for managing canopy size and preparing the crop for harvest. In-season monitoring of the growth and nutrient status of the crop is used to help make some of these decisions. Sustainability of soils for cotton production includes minimizing losses to erosion and maintenance and enhancement of soil productivity. Conservation tillage is a proven technique to reduce erosion. Recent literature and grower use suggests management with conservation tillage can provide improved soil productivity, especially in locales where soil water limitations exist during the season. Winter cover crops with conservation tillage systems provide the potential to enhance productivity. Economic and environmental concerns are driving the development of improved nutrient management techniques for crop production. Site-specific application of nutrients is being developed for improved nutrient use efficiency in cotton. In addition, considerable research has been conducted recently on the use of animal manures as nutrient sources for the crop.

From then on, agricultural remote sensing has developed gradually until the introduction of precision farming technologies in the late 1980s and biotechnological innovations in the early 21st century. Remote sensing technologies for crop production management have advanced rapidly since then and are being developed for cotton growth monitoring, estimation of evapo-transpiration and irrigation scheduling, nitrogen efficiency analysis, pest management (weeds, insects, and diseases), application of harvesting aids, and prediction of yield. In the next 10 yr or so, more specialized remote sensing analysis techniques for cotton management will be developed with improvements in unmanned aerial technologies and dual uses for agricultural aircraft. This chapter begins with the history of agricultural remote sensing, then discusses precision farming and the biotechnology interface for remote sensing on cotton, presents several research aspects of remote sensing for cotton, presents two research cases for remote sensing of cotton, discusses limitations of remote sensing for support of cotton management, and presents a perspective on remote sensing for cotton farming in the future.

Advances in arthropod control technologies and improved insect and crop management systems have dramatically reduced levels of arthropod damage and the need for insecticidal control of several key pests in cotton over the past 30 yr. The near-complete eradication of boll weevil (Anthonomous grandis Boheman) from the United States and the worldwide deployment of transgenic cottons expressing insecticidal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt cotton) are among the most notable advances. Insects and mites are highly adaptable, and new pest problems have emerged that continue to challenge or limit cotton production and profitability. In this update of cotton insect pest management, we review evolving technologies for cotton arthropod management, the purposeful deployment of resistance management programs, dynamic responses of arthropod pests to management actions, and improved integration of insect and crop management systems. We emphasize ecological context, including varying spatial scales of management, and the adaptive capacity of the arthropods impacted by management decisions as continuing influences on humankind's effort to limit arthropod damage to cotton.

Cotton harvesting in the United States is completely mechanized and is accomplished by two primary machines, the spindle picker and the brush-roll stripper. Significant advances with regard to harvesting and in-field storage systems have occurred over the last 40 yr, which have resulted in substantial increases in harvest productivity. State-of-the-art cotton harvesters are able to harvest at a rate exceeding 4 ha/h (10 ac/h). Harvesting efficiency of pickers and strippers is influenced by a host of production, environmental, design, and operating factors. Thus, adoption of each type of harvester varies by geographic region across the US Cotton Belt. Careful attention to harvester configuration and operation by cotton producers has helped to develop the reputation of the United States as a dependable source of high-quality and contaminant-free cotton.

The original ginning process used a simple manually operated device that took hand-harvested seed cotton and separated the cotton fiber from the cottonseed so that the fiber could then be manually spun into yarn and woven into cloth. Today's modern cotton gin has evolved into a complex mechanical system that takes in mechanically harvested seed cotton to condition, clean, and separate its components, further clean and then package the cotton fiber, and handle the seed and trash for marketing. The modern cotton gin produces four products that have market value: the cotton fiber, the cottonseed, motes (small, immature seed with attached short fiber), and the trash. Currently the two most valuable products are the fiber and the seed, but the motes and trash also have market value. The fiber, also sometimes referred to as lint, is the most valuable product, and the basic design and operation of the ginning process is aimed at producing fiber and maintaining its value. Cottonseed also has significant value and is primarily used either as a feed supplement for cattle or is processed by oil mills into various food products. Some cottonseed is specially ginned and handled to be used as planting seed for the next cotton crop. Motes are separately baled and sold to be used in nonwoven-lint-based products. Gin trash is of relatively small value but is utilized for many purposes that range from compost to manufactured construction materials. The modern cotton gin takes a raw material, mechanically harvested seed cotton, and gives it market value by separating the fibers from the seed, separating foreign material, and packaging and handling all of these for commerce.

The seed is either extracted for oil (producing meal, hulls, and linters as co-products) or is used whole as a protein feed ingredient for ruminant animals. The oil is the most valuable product and is widely used as a food ingredient or in food preparation. Different methods have been used to extract cottonseed oil, but the preferred technique is to form porous collets of the kernels that allow for efficient solvent extraction of the oil. Meal and hulls are used as animal feed ingredients, although some industrial uses are being explored. Hulls are also valued as a component of drilling mud and are a preferred substrate for the production of some mushrooms. Linters are often pulped and used in product applications that require high cellulose purity. The recent genetic development of low gossypol seed has the potential to alter both the processes used to extract the oil and the use of the seed protein.

The objectives of this chapter are to review and summarize recent advancement in ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopies and to identify the information gaps for future research. The search for causes of rising DOC in rivers and lakes in Europe and North America has led to no exclusive conclusion, especially from DOC exported from arable land. More studies are still needed in this area. Most of UV-Vis and fluorescence methods developed in the past are still widely used in current studies in the literature, such as specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA), spectral slope for UV-Vis, and excitation and emission matrix (EEM), fluorescence indexes (i. e., FI, F-eff) for fluorescence spectroscopy. New methods have been developed and tested, such as ratio of tryptophan-like to fulvic-humic-like, self-organizing map and classification/regression tree for EEM data analysis, and UV spectral deconvolution. Nevertheless, these new methods are tested in limited sites and studies. Critics on current fluorescence methods can also be found in the literature, such as quenching agents in DOC solutions and interaction of DOC fluorophores. Future research should include standardizing test conditions (e. g., pH, ionic strength, ion composition), as such parameters would affect fluorescence yield of DOC. In addition, new data analysis methods should be developed and tested.

In this chapter, we present two case studies on the multiple spectral features of whole and water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) of cattle manure affected by differing management practices. Using wet chemistry and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic techniques, Case Study I demonstrated that the composition and contents of OM and nutrients in beef cattle manure differ depending on the location on a feedyard (i. e., unconsolidated surface manure and the underlying manure pack in feedyard pens, settling basin, and retention pond sediments), with higher concentrations of available nutrients in recently excreted materials and increased molecular weight and humification as manure aged during its on-feedyard life cycle. Using multiple spectroscopic techniques, Case Study II compared structural and functional groups in dairy manure between dairies under conventional and organic management. Primary findings were that cutin-and cutan-related C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) peaks were useful for tracing dietary management to distinguish grass-fed from grain-fed animals. Furthermore, pharmaceutical-related pyrolysis gas chromatograph-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) peaks can monitor use of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals in cattle. Thus, spectral features are traceable markers that may be useful to certify that dairy and beef cattle are managed according to standards for grass-fed or organic products. Confirmation of the relationships between NMR and pyrolysis GC-MS features with forage ingredients and pharmaceutical additives using manure from controlled studies (i. e., specific diet and management information are known) will provide scientific basis for authentication of organic and alternative cattle management practices.

Characterization of P associated with humic substances may shed light on the function of humic substances in P cycling and nutrition. In this chapter, we review and discuss the forms and lability of humic-bound P based on our own and colleagues' research on various humic fractions obtained from the International Humic Substances Society and extracted from different agricultural soils. Solution P-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy reveals that the majority of humic-bound P are present in the forms of orthophosphate, monoesters, and diesters. Spiking with phytate confirms no phytate present in the examined humic fractions. The biotic and abiotic lability of humic-bound P was evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis and ultraviolet irradiation. The wet chemistry analysis shows that 10 to 63% of humic-bound P is labile. The impact on lability of humic-bound P is in the order: sample origin > humic fraction type > management factors. Application of the knowledge gained from the comprehensive characterization by solution NMR spectroscopy and wet chemistry analysis in future research may lead to improved understanding of the dynamics and mechanisms of transformations of humicbound P from unavailable to bioavailable forms in soil and the environment.

Mobile humic acid is extracted by dilute NaOH, and CaHA is subsequently extracted by dilute NaOH from the dilute HCl-washed soil residues of the first extraction. This chapter reviews the recent advance in characterization of the structural and functional groups of MHA and CaHA fractions of agricultural soils by sophisticated instrumental techniques. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) separates MHA and CaHA fractions into three or two major peaks, mainly superimposed on a characteristic humic "hump." The greater difference in the CE profiles between soils than between cropping management practices reflects the distinct "fingerprint" CE features of these soil humic fractions. Modeling analysis of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectral data reveals four general fluorophore components. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectral data reveal a linear correlation between the aliphatic band (3020-2800 cm(-1)) and the carboxyl band (1720-1600 cm(-1)) in the same types (i. e., MHA or CaHA) of humic fractions from 10 agricultural soils, suggesting that these two functional groups may be associated with the same backbone or matrix in these humic fractions. Correlation analysis of C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) peak area and intensity of fluorophore components of these humic samples suggests that the fluorophore Component 4 is enriched with nonpolar alkyl, NCH and OCH3 functional groups. Comparison of C-13 NMR and ultrahigh resolution mass spectral data reveals that proteinaceous material in these humic fractions is associated with the nonpolar alkyl groups, but competitively bound to the humic backbone structure against aromatic groups.

The water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) fraction is the most labile and mobile fraction of organic matter. In this chapter, we reviewed and discussed spectroscopic and wet-chemical work on the characterization, decomposition, and soil mineral P sorption effects of WEOM solutions derived from the roots and shoots of several agriculturally relevant crop plants. In contrast to its relatively minor proportion in soil, the content of WEOM in plant biomass is high. These plant-derived WEOM samples contained, on average, 27.9% lipids, 21.8% protein, 36.7% lignin, 7.1% carbohydrates, 3.1% unsaturated hydrocarbons, and 3.3% condensed aromatic compounds. In general, WEOM from decomposed materials inhibited P sorption to a greater extent than did WEOM derived from fresh materials. This increased inhibition highlights the contribution of WEOM decomposition (as well as relevant microbial processes) to the release of soluble soil P. Information in this chapter is helpful in providing a better understanding of the relationship between plant-derived WEOM composition and its behavior in soil environments and can contribute to the overall goal of better management of plant residues for agricultural sustainability.

In this chapter, the impact of crop rotation and fertilizer N management on soil water-extractable organic C (WEOC) and N (WEON) is demonstrated in two case studies. In studies on double (e. g., potato [Solanum tuberosum L.]-barley [Hordeum vulgare L.]) and triple (e. g., potato-timothy [Phleum pratense L.]-rape [Brassica napus L.]) crop rotations, both quantity and quality of WEOM were different among crop-rotation systems. The continuous-potato monocropping yielded a higher (p < 0.05) level of WEOC than most triple-crop rotations. This WEOC appeared to have a higher fluorescence humification index (HIX) but less double-bonded C as shown by the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra. The impact of a continuous-potato rotation on properties of WEOM diminished when other crops were added to the rotation, especially with the triple-crop rotations. In a study on N fertilizer management, some of the applied N in a pasture field remained in soil as WEON, which could be used by grasses in the subsequent year. Further studies on crop rotation are required to link WEOM with disease suppression mechanisms and with functional soil microbial communities. Furthermore, future studies on N management are needed to quantify fertilizer N retained as WEON and to include this fraction in N fertilizer recommendations and management.

In this chapter, we examine three labile organic matter fractions: light fraction (LF), humic acid (HA), and fulvic acid (FA) of Alabama cotton soils (Ultisol) amended with chemical fertilizer (NH4NO3) and poultry litter and managed as no-till, conventional-till, and mulch-till practices. Light fraction was significantly affected by management practices. On average, the LF in the no-till soils was slightly higher (42.02 +/- 5.62 [SD, n = 4] g) than in the conventional-till (39.52 +/- 1.58 g) and mulch-till (37.71 +/- 0.61 g) per kilogram of dry soil. The C, N, and S contents of the LF from the amended and till soils were higher than the control (bare fallow [BF]) sample. Elemental analysis of HA and FA revealed that HA had greater aromatic functional groups and lower aliphatic functional groups than FA. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and solid-state C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were applied to evaluate the effects of cropping management practices on the composition of soil humic substances (HS). These spectral data show that the impacts of management practices were mainly on the carbonyl group from amide and carboxylic acid or ketone compounds for HA and both carbonyl and aliphatic groups for FA. In HA, cropping management practices also increased ketone, quinone, or aldehyde, and decreased aromatic C-C and C-H groups in all treatments compared with those of the BF sample. The aromaticity of HA samples decreased with cropping managements and fertilizer applications, suggesting incorporation of aliphatic crop residues to the HAs.

Soil organic matter also represents an important pool of C that can be increased to help mitigate global climate change. Our understanding of how agricultural management practices foster soil organic C (SOC) sequestration, however, is limited by gaps in our knowledge of the relationships among SOM structure, composition, and sequestration. Unraveling these connections is challenging because SOM is comprised of a complex mix of substances with various functional groups in various stages of decomposition, usually bonded with the soil mineral fraction. Recent application of infrared (IR) spectroscopy and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PY-GC-MS) analysis to soil C fractions is helping uncover some of these relationships. In this chapter, we review these methods and our evolving understanding of SOM structure and composition. We use IR and PY-GC-MS data from a long-term agricultural research (LTAR) site in Maryland, USA, to explore management impacts on SOC structure and composition. The diverse cropping systems of the Farming Systems Project (FSP) LTAR differ in tillage, crop rotation, and source of fertility (mineral fertilizers vs. poultry litter [PL] and legume cover crops) as the factors that affect SOC structure and composition. Results from mid-IR analysis showed that differences in the C structure of occluded and free particulate organic matter (oPOM and fPOM, respectively) seem related to PL inputs in that degree of humification to the 20-cm depth was greater in systems receiving PL. At 20 to 30 cm, the degree of humification of oPOM and fPOM were greater in systems that were conventionally tilled than in a no-till system, suggesting that SOC sequestration at these depths may be facilitated by tilling organic matter into soils. The PY-GC-MS analysis suggests that fPOM composition is related to particular crops included in a crop rotation. The FSP cropping system that includes a perennial forage (alfalfa [Medicago sativa L.]) had the most unique set of pyrolysates; a system that included hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) had the second-most unique set of pyrolysates. Combined use of IR spectroscopy and PY-GC-MS revealed different aspects of SOC structure and composition.

In this chapter, a case study with the sediments of a Chinese eutrophic lake is presented to demonstrate the bioavailability and preservation of P-o in the freshwater sediments and their role in lake eutrophication. Sequential extraction and phosphatase hydrolysis were used to identify the bioavailability of different P pools in these sediments. Those data show that the biogeochemical cycling of bioavailable P-o in sediments might be playing an important role in maintaining the eutrophic status of lakes after external input of P has been reduced. Sediment organic matter can affect the bioavailability and preservation of P-o in sediments by formation of P-o-metal-humic acid or P-o-metal complexes. Furthermore, the adsorption of P-o by minerals would be the other mechanism for some P-o preservation in sediments. The observations and insight derived from this chapter contribute to a better understanding of the biological cycles of sediments P-o in freshwater lakes and their contribution in lake eutrophication.

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient that is required to meet global food requirements and make crop and livestock production profitable. While adequate levels of phosphorus in the soil are essential to grow crops, phosphorus has the potential to induce eutrophication in our water systems. Controlling phosphorus inputs is the thus considered the key to reducing eutrophication and managing ecological integrity. Forage -based cow -calf operations may have detrimental impacts on the chemical status of groundwater and streams and consequently on the ecological and environmental status of surrounding ecosystems. Relatively, little information exists regarding possible magnitudes of phosphorus losses from grazed pastures. Whether or not phosphorus losses from grazed pastures are significantly greater than background losses and how these losses are affected by soil, forage management, or stocking density are not well understood. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the various effects of differing pasture fertility, animal behavior, and grazing management systems on the levels and changes of soil P in subtropical beef cattle pastures that will improve our understanding of P dynamics, cycling, and management in the agroecosystem. From our Florida experience perspectives, the following critical results are worthwhile mentioning: (1) environmentally, soil phosphorus in Florida pastures are declining; (2) soil phosphorus in pasture fields with no phosphorus fertilization were consistently lower than those of the fertilized fields by about 49.1 % to 40.9 % from 1988 to 2000, respectively; (3) soil phosphorus concentrations in 1988 of about 94.1 mg kg -1 and in 2000 of about 69.2 mg kg -1 were not high enough to be of environmental concern, so annual additions of phosphorus -fertilizer would be still practical to sustain plant and animal productivity in subtropical beef cattle pastures; (4) congregation zones in pastures with beef cattle operations in three regions of Florida are not phosphorus -rich, therefore may not contribute more phosphorus to surface and groundwater supply; and (5) slope aspect and slope position could be of relative importance in controlling spatial distribution of soil phosphorus. Effective use and cycling of phosphorus therefore is critical for pasture productivity and environmental stability in subtropics. This will help to renew the focus on improving inorganic fertilizer efficiency in subtropical beef cattle systems, and maintaining a balance of phosphorus removed to phosphorus added to ensure healthy forage growth and minimize phosphorus runoff. Additionally, if the overall goal is to reduce phosphorus losses from animal-based agriculture then there is a crucial need to balance off-farm phosphorus inputs in feed and fertilizer with outputs to the environment. Consequently, this paper has provided fundamental information on the source and transport control strategies that can provide the basis to increase phosphorus efficiency in agroecosystem with cow calf operation.

In this study the Atmosphere-land Exchange Inverse (ALEXI) model was used. The ALEXI model uses the morning surface temperature (LST) rise and provides information on the surface moisture status. In this paper correlations between yields and satellite indicators of crop water use or evapotranspiration (ET) were studied for the period 2002-2014. Correlations were studied for winter wheat at district scale in Vysocina, Jihomoravsky and Olomoucky regions since winter wheat is one of the traditional and most important crops grown in these regions. The Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) was used for these correlations as an ET-based index. Time series of Pearson correlation coefficient (r) computed between ESI and winter wheat yields at district scale were analysed. Strongest correlations are associated with districts within the Southern Moravian lowlands in Jihomoravsky and Olomoucky region, where frequency of occurrence of severe drought was highest over the period of record. Severe drought resulted in significant yield impacts, particularly in years 2003 and 2012. Correlations tend to be lower over the highlands districts of Vysocina and surroundings. In these districts, yields are more temperature than moisture limited and were more stable over the period of record.

The structural integrity of this infrastructure is of concern to the nation and to those directly impacted should failure occur. There are some 88,000 dams and 110,000 miles of levees in the USA. Many of those are earthen embankments and structures subject to failure by seepage and overtopping especially under extreme conditions of rainfall, runoff from contributing source areas, and snowmelt. They require routine inspection and the availability of technologies to assess their stability and safety conditions. This chapter discusses in a comprehensive manner the various geophysical and geotechnical techniques, and related technologies that are capable of rapidly assessing the integrity and stability of dams and levees. This chapter also discusses the underlying principles of these techniques. Finally, it presents case studies in which these techniques were used.

It is a worldwide problem, the severity of which varies from location to location depending on weather, soil type, topography, cropping practices, and control methods. Research to address and predict soil loss from agricultural land and in watersheds began in earnest in the 1930s following the events of the Dust Bowl. Early research primarily consisted of monitoring of soil loss from natural runoff plots and small watersheds. Gradually and over time, the focus shifted toward the development of prediction equations based on the acquired soil loss database. With computer technology, modeling watershed erosion and sedimentation processes became routine. Also, fundamental research was conducted to acquire a better understanding of the complex aspects of soil erosion and sediment transport processes and to fill in knowledge gaps in cases where data were not readily available. In recent years, most soil loss from upland areas occurs as gully erosion. This chapter presents a background of the knowledge that was systematically acquired in predicting soil erosion from upland areas and the technology that was developed and is used today. This chapter does not address all the aspects of upland soil erosion, but focuses primarily on the erodibility (K-factor) and hydrological aspects (R-factor) of the most widely used erosion prediction equations: the revised universal soil loss equation, version 2 (RUSLE2) and water erosion prediction project model (WEPP) models-based formulae. This chapter also includes a presentation of the Chinese approach of adapting gully erosion predictions according to the universal soil loss equation (USLE) format. Finally, ongoing research and technology development using light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and photogrammetry in gully erosion predictions is discussed. C1 [Roemkens, Mathias J.

Current and future satellite missions with L-band passive microwave radiometers can provide valuable information for monitoring the global soil moisture. A factor that can play a significant role in the modeling and inversion of microwave emission from land surfaces is the surface roughness. In this study, an L-band parametric emission model for exponentially correlated surfaces was developed and implemented in a soil moisture retrieval algorithm. The approach was based on the parameterization of an effective roughness parameter of Hp in relation with the geometric roughness variables (root mean square height s and correlation length l) and incidence angle. The parameterization was developed based on a large set of simulations using an analytical approach incorporated in the advanced integral equation model (AIEM) over a wide range of geophysical properties. It was found that the effective roughness parameter decreases as surface roughness increases, but increases as incidence angle increases. In contrast to previous research, Hp was found to be expressed as a function of a defined slope parameter m = s(2)/l, and coefficients of the function could be well described by a quadratic equation. The parametric model was then tested with L-band satellite data in soil moisture retrieval algorithm over the Little Washita watershed, which resulted in an unbiased root mean square error of about 0.03 m(3)/m(3) and 0.04 m(3)/m(3) for ascending and descending orbits, respectively.

We evaluated tree mortality rates, changes in the density of recently-dead trees and the amount of insect and disease damage on live trees from comprehensive forest inventories. The annual mortality rate for red fir was 1.8%, while the rates for Jeffrey pine, lodgepole pine and white fir were 1.9, 1.1 and 3.0%, respectively. The proportion of recently-dead red fir trees increased over time, suggesting an increase in mortality; however, stage-transition models suggested the current population structure of red fir is stable. Dwarf mistletoe and drought-stressed sites were significant predictors of red fir mortality. Trees with substantial damage had a higher probability of experiencing mortality in five years. Our results are consistent with others, but the timeframe is too short to make conclusions about long-term declines. Our results suggest that the most significant of multiple biotic factors involved in red fir mortality processes is dwarf mistletoe, while tree age and the proportion of forest in old-growth may also influence mortality rates.

Current control strategies against PRRSV are still inadequate and there is a need for new antiviral therapy method. Forsythoside is a compound derived from fruit of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb). Vahl suspensa, a traditional antiviral Chinese medicine. The effect of forsythoside on the infection of Marc-145 cells by PRRSV was investigated through the in vitro antivirus action and cytopathic change assay, It was found that forsythoside had a significant protective effect on Marc-145 cells pathological changes, the protective activity from high to low was treatment prior infection, treatment of infected cells, direct virucidal effect, respectively. Furthermore, its effect on the PRRSV RNA capacity and secretion of IFN-alpha was also evaluated via measurement of the cytopathic changes, real time PCR and ELISA assay. It indicated that forsythpside A inhibited PRRSV RNA synthesis and promoted secretion of IFN-alpha and in infected Marc-145 cells at a certain concentrations. The research has prepared the ground for later development of forsythoside as an anti-virus agent.

A total of 270 soil samples were collected. Seven populations of CCN were found in the rhizosphere area of various cereal plants that showed symptoms of nematode disease in Saratov and Chelyabinsk regions. The highest nematode population density was found in Chelyabinsk Region, with a mean density of 100 cysts (100 g soil) -1. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of these populations are presented showing variations in cyst body width, underbridge and vulval slit length, and in the vulva -anus distance. The morphometrics of second -stage juveniles showed minor differences between Saratov and Chelyabinsk populations compared with those of the paratypes and the population from the Republic of Bashkortostan (Bashkiria). The body lengths of the Saratov and Chelyabinsk populations were smaller than those of Bashkiria and longer than those of the paratypes. The pharynx lengths of the Saratov and Chelyabinsk populations were shorter than the paratypes. For molecular characterisation, DNA was extracted from cysts of each population. Species specific primers for H. avenae, H. filipjevi and H. latipons were developed for conventional PCR amplification of the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal RNA (ITS1-rRNA). Primer pairs developed for H. filipjevi and H. latipons amplified PCR products only from the target species, whereas primers for H. avenae amplified H. pratensis in addition to the target species. Molecular data confirmed the identity of the seven populations as H. filipjevi.

Bt crops have improved yields and their use reduces the risks associated with the application of conventional insecticides. However, the evolution of resistance to Bt toxins by target pests threatens the long-term success of such transgenic crops. Insects resistant to Bt Cry toxins have been selected in the laboratory and field-evolved resistance has been reported for economically important insects in several regions of the world. Although the mechanisms of resistance have not been reported for all cases, the most common mechanism involves changes in larval midgut target sites that probably reduce binding to Bt toxins. The binding of Cry toxins to midgut cadherin represents an important step in Bt intoxication for many insects and mutations in the cadherin gene can result in resistance to Bt toxins. Here, we highlight the roles that insect midgut cadherins play in Bt Cry intoxication and review cases where changes in cadherin are involved with resistance to Cry toxins. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying molecular basis of Bt intoxication and resistance to Bt, and the implications of fundamental knowledge for resistance management strategies.

The delta-endotoxins of Bt are functionally active in the insect gut and interact with and are processed by proteolytic enzymes. The structure of Cry proteins has specific features that not only permit them to retain their biological activity in the hostile environment of the insect gut, but also to use the process of proteolysis in the solubilization and activation of Cry protoxins. Because the proteolysis of Cry proteins is critical to their biological activity, we review the literature on studies related to insect and mammalian proteases and their effects on toxin structure and toxicity.

As such, rapid and non-destructive detection methods must be developed for the industry and consumers to ensure seed quality and safety. Among currently available non-destructive detection methods, optical sensing is one of the most promising technologies and has been used in seed evaluation for several years. This review primarily focuses on three widely used optical sensing technologies, namely, machine vision, near-infrared spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging. Fundamental and essential instruments of the three technologies are introduced, followed by techniques in image and spectral processing, multivariate data analysis and commonly used software. Classification and prediction methods for attribute assessment of external or internal quality of various seeds are also compared. Result shows that optical sensing technologies are accurate non-destructive detection methods with great potential for quality control and safety assessment of seeds. C1 [Huang, M.; Wang, Q.

Here, we examined the geographic pattern of genetic variation across the species entire range, to study its evolution process and give implication needed for the conservation. Nine haplotypes were detected on the basis of three chloroplast spacers. The most common haplotype was central in the haplotype network and was distributed widely from the Yili Valley to the eastern Tianshan Mountains. Genetic variation primarily occurred among populations and SAMOVA groups and the analysis of genetic structure showed a significant correlation between genetic and geographical distance. The fragmented distribution of F. walujewii in deep valleys may cause gene-flow barriers among distant populations and, along with genetic drift, has caused high genetic structure in the species. We identified Xinyuan County as the centre of diversification of F. walujewii, and speculated that populations in the eastern Tianshan Mountains were colonised from the Yili Valley. In relation to conservation management, we identified Xinyuan and Zhaosu County as having a high degree of genetic diversity and these should be the areas of the greatest focus for conservation.

RNA isolated from draining TBLN from 5-week-old pigs, either clinically infected with a feral isolate of Pseudorabies virus or uninfected, was interrogated using Illumina Digital Gene Expression Tag Profiling. More than 100 million tag sequences were observed, representing 4,064,189 unique 21-base sequences collected from TBLN at time points 1, 3, 6, and 14 days post-inoculation (dpi). Multidimensional statistical tests were applied to determine the significant changes in tag abundance, and then the tags were annotated. Hive plots were created to visualize the differential expression within the swine transcriptome defined by the Broad Institute's GSEA reference datasets between infected and uninfected animals, allowing us to directly compare different conditions.

Enhancing resistance to MD in poultry is an attractive method to augment MD vaccines. Because the inadequacy in immune system occurs as a result of vaccine, the other method for avoiding from MD is to breed the chickens that are resistant to MD. In this study, ENO1, TPT1 and RBBP4 genes in chickens were screened whether they played a role in resistance to MD by using allele-specific expression (ASE). The F-1 progeny of reciprocal intermatings between highly inbred chicken line 6 (MD resistant) and line 7 (MD susceptible) were sampled for this study. RNA was isolated from three organ tissues (Bursa fabricius, thymus and spleen) and the relative expression levels of each allele were monitored by using pyrosequencing method. The results suggested that TPT1 and RBBP4 genes have the cis-acting regulatory elements but these cis-acting elements do not play any role in conferring genetic resistance to MD.

TI DISSOLVED NITROGEN, CHLORIDE, AND POTASSIUM LOSS FROM FIELDS IN CONVENTIONAL AND CONSERVATION TILLAGE SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Agricultural runoff; Conservation tillage; Infiltration; Water quality ID SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL-PLAIN; LATERAL SUBSURFACE FLOW; SHALLOW GROUNDWATER; NUTRIENT BUDGETS; SURFACE RUNOFF; UNITED-STATES; SOIL; WATER; COTTON; SEDIMENT AB Losses of soluble nutrients from cropland and their transport to surface and groundwater are a continuing water quality concern. In this study, we evaluated tillage impacts on dissolved losses of ammonium (NH4-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N), chloride (Cl), and potassium (K) during rotational cotton and peanut production. Tillage treatments were strip tillage (ST), in which crops were planted into 15 cm strips tilled into cover crop residue mulch, and conventional tillage (CT), in which all crop residues were turned into the soil prior to planting. Winter cover crops were used in both tillage systems. Tillage and irrigation treatments were uniformly applied within two 0.6 ha fields located on a moderately sloping hillslope in the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain region of south-central Georgia. Tile drains were installed at the base of the slope of each field to capture and measure lateral subsurface flow. Each field was subdivided into three 0.2 ha plots, with the three plots making up a single tillage block. H-flumes were used for flow measurement and sample collection. During the five-year study, annual precipitation ranged from 910 to 1488 mm, with an annual average of 1201 mm. Annual surface runoff averaged 17% of annual rainfall from the CT field and 11% from the ST field. Because of relatively low variability in concentrations, surface runoff loads closely tracked surface runoff volumes. Annual surface runoff loadings of NH4-N, NO3-N, and Cl from the ST treatment were found to be significantly less than those from the CT treatment. The total five-year load of N (NH4-N and NO3-N) in surface runoff from CT was 8.3 kg ha(-1), while it was 5.6 kg ha(-1) from ST, equivalent to 1.5% of the total N applied to CT and 1.0% of that applied to ST. Annual subsurface flow averaged 12% of annual precipitation for CT and 21% for ST. Annual average subsurface flow loadings of NH4-N, NO3-N, and K from ST were significantly greater than from CT. The total five-year load of N (NH4-N and NO3-N) in subsurface flow was 45 kg ha(-1) from CT and 99 kg ha(-1) from ST, equivalent to 8.3% and 18.4% of the total N applied to CT and ST, respectively. Data showed that subsurface flow was the primary hydrologic pathway for dissolved N and Cl loss in both tillage systems. Overall, ST was found to be an effective method for reducing surface runoff and associated soluble losses, but increased infiltration with this practice significantly increased subsurface losses. This introduces a challenge to nitrogen management in reduced tillage systems such as ST in the region. C1 [Bosch, D. D.; Potter, T. L.; Strickland, T. C.; Hubbard, R.

TI HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY MODELS: KEY CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION TOPICS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE ASABE; Calibration; Guidelines; Hydrologic models; Recommendations; Synthesis; Validation ID GOODNESS-OF-FIT; UNCERTAINTY; PERFORMANCE; SOIL; METHODOLOGY; GUIDELINES; SCIENCE AB As a continuation of efforts to provide a common background and platform for development of calibration and validation (C/V) guidelines for hydrologic and water quality (H/WQ) modeling, ASABE members worked to determine critical topics related to model C/V, perform a synthesis of a previously published special collection of articles and other relevant literature, and provide topic-specific recommendations based on the synthesis as well as personal modeling expertise. This article introduces a special collection of nine research articles covering key topics related to calibration and validation of H/WQ models. The topics include: terminology, hydrologic processes and model representation, spatial and temporal scales, model parameterization, C/V strategies, sensitivity, uncertainty, performance measures and criteria, and documentation and reporting. The main objective of this introductory article is to introduce and summarize key aspects of these topics, including recommendations. Individually, the articles provide model practitioners with detailed topic-specific recommendations related to model calibration, validation, and use. Collectively, the articles present recommendations to enhance H/WQ modeling. C1 [Moriasi, D. N.] USDA ARS, Grazinglands Res Lab, 7207 W Cheyenne St, El Reno, OK 73036 USA. [Zeckoski, R.

TI HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES AND MODEL REPRESENTATION: IMPACT OF SOFT DATA ON CALIBRATION SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Calibration; Field-scale models; Point models; Validation; Watershed models ID LOWLAND WET GRASSLAND; WATER-QUALITY MODEL; MIKE SHE MODEL; DRAINMOD-N-II; NITROGEN DYNAMICS; SOIL-EROSION; SIMULTANEOUS HEAT; COASTAL-PLAIN; CROP GROWTH; SWAT MODEL AB Hydrologic and water quality models are increasingly used to determine the environmental impacts of climate variability and land management. Due to differing model objectives and differences in monitored data, there are currently no universally accepted procedures for model calibration and validation in the literature. In an effort to develop accepted model calibration and validation procedures or guidelines, a special collection of 22 research articles that present and discuss calibration strategies for 25 hydrologic and water quality models was previously assembled. The models vary in scale temporally as well as spatially from point source to the watershed level. One suggestion for future work was to synthesize relevant information from this special collection and to identify significant calibration and validation topics. The objective of this article is to discuss the importance of accurate representation of model processes and its impact on calibration and scenario analysis using the information from these 22 research articles and other relevant literature. Models are divided into three categories: (1) flow, heat, and solute transport, (2) field scale, and (3) watershed scale. Processes simulated by models in each category are reviewed and discussed. In this article, model case studies are used to illustrate situations in which a model can show excellent statistical agreement with measured stream gauge data, while misrepresented processes (water balance, nutrient balance, sediment source/sinks) within a field or watershed can cause errors when running management scenarios. These errors may be amplified at the watershed scale where additional sources and transport processes are simulated. To account for processes in calibration, a diagnostic approach is recommended using both hard and soft data. The diagnostic approach looks at signature patterns of behavior of model outputs to determine which processes, and thus parameters representing them, need further adjustment during calibration. This overcomes the weaknesses of traditional regression-based calibration by discriminating between multiple processes within a budget. Hard data are defined as long-term, measured time series, typically at a point within a watershed. Soft data are defined as information on individual processes within a budget that may not be directly measured within the study area, may be just an average annual estimate, and may entail considerable uncertainty. The advantage of developing soft data sets for calibration is that they require a basic understanding of processes (water, sediment, nutrient, and carbon budgets) within the spatial area being modeled and constrain the calibration.

TI HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY MODELING: SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL CONSIDERATIONS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Calibration; Hydrologic modeling; Scale; Spatial; Temporal ID SWAT MODEL; ASSESSMENT-TOOL; STREAM-FLOW; UNITED-STATES; RIVER-BASIN; SENSITIVITY-ANALYSIS; EROSION PREDICTION; DATA RESOLUTION; SEDIMENT YIELD; BACTERIA FATE AB Hydrologic and water quality models are used to help manage water resources by investigating the effects of climate, land use, land management, and water management on water resources. Water-related issues are investigated over a range of scales, i.e., the extent and resolution of the spatial and temporal contexts, which can vary spatially from point to watershed and temporally from seconds to centuries. In addition, models' formulations may place scale restrictions on their use. In 2012, ASABE published a collection of 22 articles on the calibration, validation, and use of 25 hydrologic and water quality models. Each article detailed the process to follow and the issues that could arise during calibration or application of a specific model. The objective of this article is to synthesize those articles with regard to common spatial and temporal scale principles that should guide selecting, parameterizing, and calibrating a hydrologic model. This article describes how the spatio-temporal extent and resolution of a model application should relate to the modeling objectives, the processes simulated, the parameterization and calibration process, data available for parameterization and calibration, and interpretation of results. Overall, the intended scale of the model should match the scale of the processes that need to be simulated given the modeling objectives, the scale of input and calibration data should be compatible with the scale of the model and with the objectives of the study, and the model should be calibrated at the scale at which the results will be analyzed and interpreted.

TI PARAMETERIZATION GUIDELINES AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR HYDROLOGIC MODELS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Hydrologic processes; Model calibration; Multiple criteria; Optimization; Parameters; Validation ID SOIL HYDRAULIC-PROPERTIES; LEAF-AREA INDEX; WATER ASSESSMENT-TOOL; EVAPOTRANSPIRATION CROP COEFFICIENTS; CAROLINA COASTAL-PLAIN; MIKE SHE MODEL; SENSITIVITY-ANALYSIS; CURVE NUMBER; SWAT MODEL; CLAYPAN SOILS AB Imparting knowledge of the physical processes of a system to a model and determining a set of parameter values for a hydrologic or water quality model application (i.e., parameterization) are important and difficult tasks. An exponential increase in the literature has been devoted to the use and development of these models over the years. Few articles, however, have been devoted to developing general parameterization guidelines to assist in hydrologic model application, which is the main objective of this article along with discussing a few important parameters and extracting several case studies from the literature. The following guidelines were extracted from reviewing a special collection of 22 articles along with other relevant literature: (1) use site-specific measured or estimated parameter values where possible, (2) focus on the most uncertain and sensitive parameters, (3) minimize the number of optimized parameters, (4) constrain parameter values to within justified ranges, (5) use multiple criteria to help optimize parameter values, (6) use "soft" data to optimize parameters, and (7) use a warm-up period to reduce model dependence on initial condition state variables. A few soil and hydrology related parameters common to many models are briefly described along with a discussion of measurement and estimation methods and parameter sensitivity (curve number, Manning's "n", soil bulk density and porosity, soil hydraulic conductivity, soil field capacity and wilting point, and leaf area index). Weather and management inputs are also discussed, as they are critical hydrologic system information that must be imparted to the model. Several case studies from previously reported research illustrate implementation of the parameterization guidelines. This research will help improve model parameterization, resulting in more consistency, better representation of the field or watershed, and a reduced range of parameter value sets resulting in acceptable model simulations.

Uncertainty associated with such models may affect the ability of the models to accurately evaluate the response of complex systems, leading to misguided assessments and risk management decisions. Current well-known HWQMs contain numerous input parameters, many of which are not known with certainty, and in other cases model users can hardly recognize the genesis of uncertainty. Uncertainty in data, model structure, and model parameters can propagate throughout model runs, causing the model output to substantially deviate from the expected response of the natural system. Various uncertainty assessment methods have been used with different HWQMs, creating concerns about an adequate approach for handling uncertainty in these models and how such an approach can be implemented across various discretization complexities and scales. In this article, our primary intention is to review uncertainty in the currently used HWQMs and to provide guidance and useful information for researchers and investigators. In this regard, we explore the genesis of uncertainty in hydrologic and water quality modeling (i.e., spatiotemporal scales, model representation, model discretization, model parameterization) and provide strategies for assessing uncertainty in hydrologic and water quality modeling on local and global scales when interpreting the model output.

TI HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY MODELS: PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND EVALUATION CRITERIA SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Guidelines; Model calibration and validation; Performance measures and evaluation criteria ID ASSESSMENT-TOOL; SWAT MODEL; AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION; RIVER-BASIN; VALIDATION; SOIL; UNCERTAINTY; SIMULATIONS; CATCHMENT; INDEX AB Performance measures (PMs) and corresponding performance evaluation criteria (PEC) are important aspects of calibrating and validating hydrologic and water quality models and should be updated with advances in modeling science. We synthesized PMs and PEC from a previous special collection, performed a meta-analysis of performance data reported in recent peer-reviewed literature for three widely published watershed-scale models (SWAT, HSPF, WARMF), and one field-scale model (ADAPT), and provided guidelines for model performance evaluation. Based on the synthesis, meta-analysis, and personal modeling experiences, we recommend coefficient of determination (R-2; in conjunction with gradient and intercept of the corresponding regression line), Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), index of agreement (d), root mean square error (RMSE; alongside the ratio of RMSE and standard deviation of measured data, RSR), percent bias (PBIAS), and several graphical PMs to evaluate model performance. We recommend that model performance can be judged "satisfactory" for flow simulations if monthly R-2 > 0.70 and d > 0.75 for field-scale models, and daily, monthly, or annual R-2 > 0.60, NSE > 0.50, and PBIAS <= +/- 15% for watershed-scale models. Model performance at the watershed scale can be evaluated as "satisfactory" if monthly R-2 > 0.40 and NSE > 0.45 and daily, monthly, or annual PBIAS <= +/- 20% for sediment; monthly R-2 > 0.40 and NSE > 0.35 and daily, monthly, or annual PBIAS <= +/- 30% for phosphorus (P); and monthly R-2 > 0.30 and NSE > 0.35 and daily, monthly, or annual PBIAS <= +/- 30% for nitrogen (N). For RSR, we recommend that previously published PEC be used as detailed in this article. We also recommend that these PEC be used primarily for the four models for which there were adequate data, and used only with caution for other models. These PEC can be adjusted within acceptable bounds based on additional considerations, such as quality and quantity of available measured data, spatial and temporal scales, and project scope and magnitude, and updated based on the framework presented herein. This initial meta-analysis sets the stage for more comprehensive meta-analysis to revise PEC as new PMs and more data become available. C1 [Moriasi, D.

The objectives of this work were to determine the minimum meal interval and to assess changes in feeding behavior of feedlot heifers when exposed to various temperatures with and without access to shade. Feeding behavior data from feedlot cattle with and without access to shade were evaluated. Prior to evaluating feeding behavior data, the time between two eating events that should be considered a single meal (minimum meal interval) was determined. The length of this minimum meal interval impacts the interpretation of meal data. The minimum meal interval was first determined by analyzing feeding behavior data to determine the number of meals, average meal length, and total time spent eating at minimum meal intervals ranging from 1 to 60 min. These data were evaluated using rate of change based on interval differencing. A subsequent analysis identified the inflection point of the rate of change graph. A minimum meal interval of 10 min for finishing feedlot cattle was determined using this method. Feeding behavior data from 256 feedlot heifers (of four different breed types) were evaluated over two summer periods (128 heifers each year). Cattle were penned in one of 16 pens (eight shaded and eight unshaded). Individual feeding behavior data were collected every 30 s throughout the six-week summer period. Cattle decreased the time spent eating, average meal size, and number of meals as the THI increased. In addition, cattle provided with shade spent more time eating, with longer meal lengths over all THI categories. C1 [Brown-Brandl, T. M.; Eigenberg, R.

TI OPTIMIZATION OF TOMATO POMACE SEPARATION USING AIR ASPIRATOR SYSTEM BY RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Air aspirator; Response surface methodology; Separation; Tomato pomace AB Tomato pomace contains seeds and peel, which are rich in protein and fat, and in dietary fiber and lycopene, respectively. Developing a suitable method to separate the seeds and peel in tomato pomace is important for achieving value-added utilization of tomato pomace. The objectives of this research were to study the feasibility of air separation of tomato pomace using a laboratory-scale fluidized-bed dryer; to evaluate the effect of moisture content, air velocity, and feeding rate on the separation of tomato pomace using an air aspirator; and to optimize the separation conditions using response surface methodology (RSM). Separation in the fluidized-bed dryer at 3.3 m s(-1) air velocity resulted in 80.49% separation efficiency with more than 85% purity of peel and seeds. Single-factor experiments with the aspirator showed that moisture content (5.7% to 23.0% on dry basis) of tomato pomace, air velocity (5.3 to 7.1 m s(-1)), and feeding rate (15 to 90 kg h(-1)) significantly affected the purity of both the peel and seed fractions and the separation efficiency. The optimal separation conditions using the aspirator were tomato pomace moisture content of 8.0%, air velocity of 6.4 m s(-1), and feeding rate of 40 kg h(-1), which achieved purities of 82.20% +/- 3.26% and 86.11% +/- 3.65% for the peel and seed fractions, respectively, with a separation efficiency of 68.56% +/- 6.52%. The predicted separation results were highly fitted with the experimental data, which indicated the high accuracy of the quadratic models. The results of this study showed that an air aspirator could be used for industrial separation of tomato pomace.

From the beginning (the 1971 discovery of Potato spindle tuber viroid) technology has played a key role in viroid discovery. Rapid and sensitive biological assays remain important, but the introduction of, first, molecular cloning and, later, RT-PCR has greatly facilitated viroid identification and characterization. Gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions has proven to be a particularly useful tool for viroid discovery because it is both sequence-independent and especially sensitive to the presence of circular RNAs. More recently, bioinformatic tools designed to scan the data sets generated by large-scale RNA sequencing projects for sequences derived from small circular RNA genomes have begun to appear. Using these techniques, it has become possible to systematically investigate the origin of different viroid diseases. Thanks to data generated using these newer technologies, the natural host ranges of several viroids now appear to be considerably wider than initially believed. C1 [Owens, R.

The observed symptoms were chlorotic spots or rings, chlorotic mottling, and in some cases, vein necrosis in older leaves and early leaf yellowing and drop. A total of 125 samples were collected from cultivated plants of different cultivars and 13 imported cutting lots imported from elsewhere in Europe, Africa or Asia. Additionally, leaf samples of H. moscheutos, H. syriacus and some wild species commonly used for breeding were included in this study. All samples were assayed for Hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus, Hibiscus latent Singapore virus and Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus by single-step RT-PCR using specific primers designed to the coat protein gene for each virus. The obtained amplicons of the expected sizes were sequenced and analysed to confirm virus species identity. Further, the sequences were analysed and phylogenetically compared with available sequences of the same viral species in GenBank. The results showed that all three viruses are widely distributed in hibiscus in nurseries and commercial gardens surveyed in Italy and in imported cuttings. In this study, preliminary molecular characteristics of the isolates of the aforementioned viruses are also provided.

They belong to the family of Betaflexiviridae with the type member Carnation latent virus (CLV). 43 members are listed by the latest ICTV taxonomy report (Adams et al., 2012). Samples obtained in Germany in 2006 to 2012 included monocot host plants comprising the families Alliaceae and Convallariaceae as well as dicot host plants of the families of Cactaceae, Ericaceae, Passifloraceae, Ranunculaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Solanaceae. Twelve different carlaviruses have been identified, for two of which no published record for Germany existed so far. In Alliaceae, Cactaceae, Ranunculaceae and Solanaceae mixed infections were frequent. Those consisted of two different carlaviruses or of Carlavirus accompanied by Poty- or Allexi-, or Potex- or Tobamo-, or Cucumovirus infection. Thus, symptom expression was variable and visual diagnosis was limited. Additional methods were employed to increase reproducibility and to generate reliable results. Synergy of electron microscopy and molecular biology tools were used to improve virus detection. Doing so we obtained evidence for the presence of three different isolates of Shallot latent virus in Allium sativum and for at least three Potato virus M isolates in Solanaceae. In addition, we identified the presence of Helleborus net necrosis virus and Blueberry scorch virus in Germany. C1 [Richert-Poeggeler, K.

Phylogenetic comparison of the amino acid sequences of the various gene products of these AltMV isolates and other AltMV sequences from GenBank reveals that there are two main groups of AltMV isolates. 'phlox-type' isolates are differentiated from 'portulaca-type' isolates, and both are clearly distinguished from both the serologically-related Papaya mosaic virus (PapMV) and from Potato virus X (PVX). A US isolate from nandina is 'phlox-type', whereas isolates from hybrid annual phlox and from cineraria are 'portulaca-type'. Partial RdRp sequences are available for several other isolates. Within this partial RdRp region a New Zealand isolate from nandina is identical to AltMV-PA, whereas Brazilian isolates from torenia, and a 'portulaca-type' Florida isolate share several variant residues, one of which is also present in a Russian portulaca isolate. Many other residues differ between AltMV and both PapMV and PVX. These comparisons suggest that portulaca may have been the source of infection of AltMV for most ornamentals other than perennial phlox species and nandina. C1 [Hammond, J.; Reinsel, M.

To better understand the role of different hormone signaling pathways in disease induction, microarray analysis was used to compare changes in tomato gene expression associated with PSTVd infection in two tomato cultivars plus a third transformed line expressing small PSTVd siRNAs in the absence of viroid replication. Changes in mRNA levels for the sensitive cultivar 'Rutgers' were extensive, involving more than half of the ca. 10,000 genes present on the array. Effects on mRNAs encoding enzymes involved in gibberellin and brassinosteroid biosynthesis were accompanied by numerous changes affecting their respective signaling pathways. In the dwarf cultivar 'MicroTom', a marked up-regulation of genes involved in response to stress and other stimuli was observed only when exogenous brassinosteroid was applied to infected plants, thereby providing the first evidence for the involvement of brassinosteroid-mediated signaling in viroid disease induction.

Software initially developed for these animal virus microarrays has been further refined for both design and analysis of a Universal Plant Virus Microarray (UPVM). The UPVM is based on 9,600 60-mer oligonucleotides, including at least four genus-level and four family-level probes per taxonomic group, and 44 control probes for highly conserved plant genes. These probes together represent all characterized plant viruses for which significant genomic sequence was publically available in GenBank as of January 2010, and additional sequences made available to us prior to public GenBank release. Associated methods have been developed for high quality total nucleic acid extraction, applicable to a broad range of plant tissues containing metabolites such as phenolics, polysaccharides, latex, and resins that can interfere with nucleic acid extraction or subsequent amplification. Validation of the UPVM with a broad range of DNA and RNA plant viruses is in progress. Many high-titer viruses can be detected by direct labeling of total RNA extracts. Amplification and subtractive hybridization protocols to increase the sensitivity of detection of low titer viruses are being examined. C1 [Hammond, J.; Henderson, D. C.; Jordan, R.

In following years, the disorder was widely reported in other European countries and more recently also in the United States and in New Zealand. The presence of the Freesia sneak virus (FreSV, Ophiovirus genus) has been widely associated with the necrotic disease, but some uncertainty remains. Freesia leaves showing necrotic disease were subjected to Ophiovirus purification and the product obtained was analyzed. Several differently shaped virus particles were visualized by TEM and a new virus-like agent, with a ca. 30 kDa coat protein was detected by western blotting. Previously uncharacterized viruses, possibly transmitted by the same vector, might have a role in the disease, at least in mixed infection, and are now thickening the plot about the necrotic disease causal agent.

First, the most recent studies regarding the application of non-destructive NIR spectroscopy-methods for the assessment of external olive quality are reviewed. External defects including mechanical damage, bruising, ground origin and insect infestation, and the consequences of these defects for finished products are reported. Second, research regarding chemical parameters of olive fruits is reviewed; in particular, the use of portable instruments to measure quality parameters such as moisture, oil and phenolic content while the fruit is on the tree, with the goal of monitoring the trends in these parameters during olive development. Finally, research on intact olive authenticity, an important aspect for legal and economic reasons, is reviewed. As most studies cited indicate the feasibility of NIR spectroscopy for non-destructive evaluation of many quality parameters, this review stresses the urgent need for technology transfer to olive facilities to enhance product quality while reducing production costs.

This contribution synthesizes extant literature and analysizes the data for biological patterns. Myrmecophily is more common in the tribe Clytrini than in Cryptocephalini, but not documented for Fulcidacini or the closely-related Lamprosomatinae. Myrmecophilous cryptocephalines (34 species in 14 genera) primarily live among formicine and myrmecines ants as hosts. These two ant lineages are putative sister-groups, with their root-node dated to between 77-90 mya. In the New World tropics, the relatively recent radiation of ants from moist forests to more xeric ecosystems might have propelled the association of cryptocephalines and ant nests. Literature records suggest that the defensive behavioral profile or chemical profile (or both) of these ants has been exploited by cryptocephalines. Another pattern appears to be that specialized natural enemies, especially parasitoid Hymenoptera, exploit cryptocephaline beetles inside the ant nests. With the extant data at hand, based on the minimum age of a fossil larva dated to 45 mya, we can infer that the origin of cryptocephaline myrmecophily could have arisen within the Upper Cretaceous or later. It remains unknown how many times myrmecophily has appeared, or how old is the behavior. This uncertainty is compounded by incongruent hypotheses about the origins of Chrysomelidae and angiosperm-associated lineages of cryptocephalines. Living with ants offers multiple advantages that might have aided the colonization of xeric environments by some cryptocephaline species.

Stem discs of teak were collected in Ivory Coast at two sites, a non-managed plantation (Gagnoa) and a managed plantation (Seguie). All stem discs were processed using the standard dendrochronological methods in order to unravel the relationships between growth and climate. Results showed that growth is slower in Gagnoa compared to the Seguie plantation that is being thinned regularly. In Gagnoa, trees responded positively to April rainfall, i.e., during the early stage of tree-ring formation, and negatively to September-October rainfall, i.e., during the short dry period. In Sgu, trees responded positively to July rainfall, i.e., during latewood formation, under decreasing rainfall. At both sites, tree growth was influenced by sea-surface temperature anomalies during the summer in the Gulf of Guinea. Teak growth in Sauie could be additionally linked to El Nino events, specifically during three major episodes (1976-77, 1982-83 and 1997-98). C1 [Die, A.; Toirambe, B.

While a variety of insecticide options have been adopted for protection against EAB attacks, little has been reported on the success of insecticide treatments on EAB-infested trees. This is particularly important because EAB is difficult to detect in early stages of its infestation and protective treatment may be undertaken on trees already in decline. Here, we investigated the effectiveness over a four-year period of biennial emamectin benzoate injections in trees exhibiting different initial EAB infestation levels (estimated using visual ash canopy condition metrics) in an ash forest in central Ohio. Results indicate that emamectin benzoate treated trees exhibited less canopy decline relative to non-treated control trees over the course of the experiment. In fact, all untreated trees died over the course of the four-year experiment, while on average treated trees did not exhibit a significant decline. Furthermore, initially healthy and moderately EAB impacted trees treated with insecticide either maintained or improved their canopy condition, while initially heavily EAB impacted trees stabilized, declined slightly, or died. Our results suggest that by using trunk injections of emamectin benzoate, private and public landowners may effectively be able to preserve lightly or moderately EAB infested trees or delay the replacement of ash trees at varying levels of EAB infestation.

In particular, cavity-nesting birds nest in the dead and decayed stems and branches of these trees. The same dead and decayed stems and branches also have a greater likelihood of failure, which, in some circumstances, increases risk. We examined 1760 trees in Baltimore, MD, USA and western MA, USA, assessing tree risk and, for a sub-sample, noting the presence of cavity nests excavated by birds. In Baltimore, most trees were in areas of frequent use and had no visible defects. In western MA, most trees were in areas of infrequent use and 70% had visible defects. The most common defect in both locations was dead branches and stubs between 10 and 51 cm in diameter. Trees with a cavity nest had a greater likelihood of failure than trees without a cavity nest. Our data provide an overview of tree risk assessment and mitigation, a baseline understanding of risk parameters for common street trees in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, and insight into whether a balance can be struck between tree risk and provision of wildlife habitat.

Tree mortality is relatively high during the establishment phase, the first few years after planting. Qualitative assessments of programs with particularly high establishment survival can indicate best management practices for other programs to emulate. We present two case studies of high survival for young urban trees, from planting projects in East Palo Alto, CA and Philadelphia, PA, with the non-profit organizations Canopy and University City Green, respectively. The Philadelphia case consists of two neighborhood planting projects: Kingsessing and Powelton. These trees were located mostly in streetside soil strips and sidewalk cut-outs. We used longitudinal tree survival and growth data, combined with detailed information about planting project characteristics and tree care practices, to make inferences about the underlying causes of establishment success. Annual survival during approximately six years after planting was 99.4% in East Palo Alto, 98.4% in the Kingsessing and 95.4% in Powelton. The East Palo Alto and Kingsessing outcomes are among the highest establishment survival ever reported. Our results indicate that planting and maintenance practices, program management and site characteristics contributed to establishment success. Stewardship was essential, both in terms of specific tree care activities and program processes to support those activities. These planting projects were implemented by small nonprofits which enhanced their staffing capacity through intensive volunteer and youth internship programs. Experienced volunteers, including professional arborists and landscape architects, served as leaders and trainers for other volunteers and interns. Climate-appropriate species selection and site conditions may have also played a role in East Palo Alto's exceptionally high survival. The survival and growth observed in these planting projects can be considered best case scenarios for neighborhood tree planting. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

TI Importance of plant sources of magnesium for human health SO CROP & PASTURE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID C-REACTIVE PROTEIN; PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL; LOW SERUM MAGNESIUM; DIETARY MAGNESIUM; METABOLIC SYNDROME; CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; OBESE SUBJECTS; US ADULTS; SUPPLEMENTATION IMPROVES; ATHEROSCLEROSIS-RISK AB Based on established dietary reference intakes (DRIs) (e.g. estimated average requirements, recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), and reference nutrient intakes), magnesium (Mg) deficiency in the range 50-99% of the requirement commonly occurs throughout the world. Yet, Mg is not often considered a major nutrient of concern for health and wellbeing, although deficient intakes and serum concentrations have been associated with numerous pathological conditions including atherosclerosis, diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers. Probable reasons for this dichotomy are that evidence of Mg deficiency is not consistently found in pathological conditions with which it has been associated, and not all individuals considered Mg-deficient consistently exhibit these pathological conditions. These inconsistencies could be the outcome of chronic inflammatory stress exacerbated or induced by Mg deficiency being alleviated or prevented by other factors that have anti-inflammatory action (e.g. long-chain n-3 fatty acids). Questionable DRIs resulting in the incorrect conclusion that individuals are Mg-deficient when they are not also may be responsible for the inconsistencies. Since 1997, improved balance data have been reported for the determination of DRIs, which suggest that the RDA for a 70-kg healthy adult would be similar to 250 mg day(-1). Based on the finding that neutral Mg balance was determined to be 2.36 mg day(-1) kg(-1) bodyweight, the RDA would vary by bodyweight. Even with changed DRIs, a significant number of adults who do not eat recommended amounts of foods of plant origin would not achieve the suggested adequate intake of Mg. Foods of plant origin, including green vegetables, nuts, pulses and whole grains, are good sources of Mg. However, Mg in these foods can be influenced by the availability of Mg to plants from the soil, and plant genotype. Thus, crop breeding and cultural practices, through modifying the amount of Mg in plant-origin foods, can have a significant impact on achieving an adequate dietary intake of Mg for health.

Edible plant tissue Ca : Mg at various soil ratios has not been robustly studied. Such studies are appropriate because high Ca : Mg dietary ratios may be associated with increased risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and human dietary Ca : Mg ratio is rising as populations integrate more processed foods into traditional diets. This review explores whether increasing the soil Ca : Mg ratio is likely to increase edible plant tissue Ca : Mg ratio, a result that could, if substantial, affect human health. A literature search gathered published articles reporting Ca and Mg values for plants grown in soils or nutrient solutions with various Ca : Mg ratios. For each study, soil or solution ratio was plotted against plant ratio, and Pearson's r and 2-tailed P values were calculated. Findings reveal that reporting Ca and Mg content of edible plant tissues is rare in studies assessing the impact of soil Ca : Mg on crop yields, nutrient uptake or crop quality; Ca : Mg of whole plants and most shoots increases as soil Ca : Mg rises; leaf Ca : Mg of some but not all crops increases as soil Ca : Mg rises; Ca : Mg ratios of edible grain, fruit and root tissues are smaller than those of leaves or shoots of the same crop; and Ca : Mg of grain, bean and fruit tissue may not respond to changes in soil Ca : Mg as much as Ca : Mg of plants, shoots and leaves. However, the data are too sparse for conclusions or even speculation. Further measurements of Ca and Mg in edible tissues destined for human consumption are necessary to asses any impact of soil Ca : Mg on the rising dietary Ca : Mg of humans and its health consequences.

In this report we describe rheological properties of oleoresins produced by mature trees of four southern pines native to North America (loblolly, slash, longleaf, shortleaf). Results indicate that these oleoresins are structured fluids that exhibit viscoelastic behavior, but differ in flow behavior. Slash pine oleoresin exhibited Newtonian flow behavior while the oleoresin from the longleaf and shortleaf pines showed pseudoplastic behavior and the loblolly pine oleoresin showed Bingham fluid behavior with a yield stress of about 1.980 Pa. Temperature-dependent viscosities for the oleoresin samples studied were well described by the Arrhenius model, yielding flow activation energies ranging from 153.5 to 219.7 kJ/mol. The viscosity of the slash pine oleoresin sample was found to be less sensitive to temperature than that of the shortleaf or longleaf pine samples. The time-temperature superposition principle was successfully applied to pine oleoresins to show behavior over the temperature range of 25-65 degrees C typical for a thermorheologically simple system. Such behavior is consistent with the temperature dependent viscoelastic properties found for these complex fluids, and supports the effective use of rheological evaluations for describing physical properties of pine oleoresins.

However, an overall assessment of plant performance can only be made by testing transgenic plants in the field environment. Thus, the effects of pyramided rice cystatin genes OCI and OCII on morphological parameters of transgenic potato cv. Desiree, Dragacevka and Jelica lines were compared under in vitro, greenhouse, and field conditions. All analyzed OC co-expressing transgenic lines exhibited normal phenotype, both in vitro and in greenhouse conditions. In the field environment, eight of nine OCI/OCII lines were similar to the wild-type control plants in their general phenotypic appearance. Yield parameters, such as tuber number and tuber weight for these phenotypically normal OCI/OCII lines, were also comparable to the controls. Only transgenic cv. Jelica line 4 plants exhibited slightly reduced growth, atypical leaf morphology and, contrary to the plants of other transgenic lines and untransformed controls, failed to flower. However, despite the phenotypic and developmental changes under field conditions, the OCI/OCII Jelica line 4 did not exhibit a significant decrease in tuber yield. Stacking of OCI and OCII genes preserves important attributes of the parental lines, confirming that this approach could be suitable for improving agronomical traits in potato.

TI Piecemeal Reform of Trade and Environmental Policy When Consumption Also Pollutes SO ECONOMICS BULLETIN LA English DT Article AB We incorporate endogenous (price-responsive) consumption pollution into a dual trade model to assess welfare effects of coordinated trade and environmental piecemeal reform in a small, open and distorted economy. Pollution is generated by production and consumption. Producers control the level of pollution and face incentives to abate both types of pollution. We identify sufficient conditions for welfare-improving reforms of trade and environmental policies. An additional domestic environmental policy instrument must be imposed on exportables because of their supply response to foreign environmental taxes.

Because juvenile hormone (JH) plays an important role in adult and nymphal development, we studied the final steps in JH biosynthesis in D. citri. A putative JH acid methyltransferase ortholog gene (jmtD) and its cognate cDNA were identified by searching D. citri genome database. Expression analysis shows expression in all life stages. In adults, it is expressed in the head-thorax, (containing the corpora allata), and the abdomen (containing ovaries and male accessory glands). A 3D protein model identified the catalytic groove with catalytically active amino acids and the S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-binding loop. The cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli cells and the purified enzyme showed high preference for farnesoic acid (FA) and homoFA (k(cat) of 0.752 x 10(-3) and 0.217 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively) as compared to JH acid I (JHA I) (cis/trans/cis; 2Z, 6E, 10cis), JHA III (2E, 6E, 10cis), and JHA I (trans/cis/cis; 2E, 2Z, 10cis) (k(cat) of 0.081 x 10(-3), 0.013 x 10(-3), and 0.003 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively). This suggests that this ortholog is a DcFA-o-methyl transferase gene (fmtD), not a jmtD, and that JH biosynthesis in D. citri proceeds from FA to JH III through methyl farnesoate (MF). DcFA-o-MT does not require Ca2+, Mg2+ or Zn2+, however, Zn2+ (1 mM) completely inhibits the enzyme probably by binding H115 at the active groove. This represents the first purified FA-o-MT from Hemiptera with preferred biological activity for FA and not JHA. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

To continue to use fire while complying with air quality regulations, land managers are often tasked with modeling emissions from fire during the planning process. To populate such models, the Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools (LANDFIRE) program has developed raster layers representing vegetation and fuels throughout the United States; however, there are limited studies available comparing LANDFIRE spatially distributed fuel loading data with measured fuel loading data. This study helps address that knowledge gap by evaluating two LANDFIRE fuel loading raster options. Fuels Characteristic Classification System (LANDFIRE-FCCS) and Fuel Loading Model (LANDFIRE-FLM) layers. with measured fuel loadings for a 20 000 ha mixed conifer study area in northern Idaho, USA. Fuel loadings are compared, and then placed into two emissions models. the First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) and Consume. for a subsequent comparison of consumption and emissions results. The LANDFIRE-FCCS layer showed 300 % higher duff loadings relative to measured loadings. These led to 23 % higher total mean total fuel consumption and emissions when modeled in FOFEM. The LANDFIRE-FLM layer showed lower loadings for total surface fuels relative to measured data, especially in the case of coarse woody debris, which in turn led to 51 % lower mean total consumption and emissions when modeled in FOFEM. When the comparison was repeated using Consume model outputs, LANDFIRE-FLM consumption was 59 % lower relative to that on the measured plots, with 58 % lower modeled emissions. Although both LANDFIRE and measured fuel loadings fell within the ranges observed by other researchers in US mixed conifer ecosystems, variation within the fuel loadings for all sources was high, and the differences in fuel loadings led to significant differences in consumption and emissions depending upon the data and model chosen. The results of this case study are consistent with those of other researchers, and indicate that supplementing LANDFIRE-represented data with locally measured data, especially for duff and coarse woody debris, will produce more accurate emissions results relative to using unaltered LANDFIRE-FCCS or LANDFIRE-FLM fuel loadings. Accurate emissions models will aid in representing emissions and complying with air quality regulations, thus ensuring the continued use of fire in wildland management.

This article reports the durability of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) posts pressure treated with ammoniacal copper arsenate (ACA), cbromated copper arsenate (CCA), creosote, or pentachlorophenol and exposed for 50 years in southern Mississippi. During inspections, posts were subjected to a pass/fail evaluation by applying a load to the top of the post. No failures occurred in any of the 125 posts treated with CCA or in any of the 75 posts treated with pentachlorophenol. Three of 25 ACA-treated posts and 5 of 25 creosote-treated posts failed. Estimated times to 50 percent failure in the ACA- and creosote-treated posts were calculated as 96 and 78 years, respectively. The estimated years to failure for the CCA- and pentachlorophenol-treated posts could not be calculated because of the lack of failures but presumably would be greater than that calculated for the ACA- and creosote-treated posts. The durability of the posts is notable because the exposure site presents a severe biodeterioration hazard. The results of this study indicate that in-service posts, poles, and piles treated to standardized retentions with these industrial preservatives will be highly durable.

TI Thermal Insulation System Made of Wood and Paper for Use in Residential Construction SO FOREST PRODUCTS JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID BUILDINGS AB This article introduces an insulation system that takes advantage of the low thermal conductivity of still air and is made of wood and paper. The insulation, called the Mirrorpanel, is constructed as a panel of closely spaced layers of coated paper and held together in a frame of wood or fiberboard. Panels have been fabricated and tested at the laboratory scale, whole wall scale, and the building scale. A 1.2-m by 2-m by 0.185-m-thick wall section had an apparent thermal conductance of only 0.204 W m(-2) K-1 including the structural wood frame, which is equivalent to a US R-value of 27.9 h ft(2) degrees F Btu(-1) (3.8 h ft(2) degrees F Btu(-1) in.(-1) for the 7.3-in.-thick wall section). The Mirrorpanel could be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to foam insulation in high-performance residential buildings and would fulfill the continuous insulation requirements in the 2012 version of the International Energy Conservation Code.

(Diptera: Muscidae), are common pests on equine farms. The use of pupal parasitoids as biological control agents for filth flies is becoming more common on equine farms; however, there is a lack of information on the execution of augmentation programs for these farms. This review of biological control of filth fly pests on equine farms provides an overview of the life history and identification of filth fly pests and common commercially available parasitoids. Additionally, recommendations for use of pupal parasitoids based on known literature are provided, and the importance of continued research in this area is highlighted. When coupled with cultural control practices and other manure management techniques, pupal parasitoids offer an environmentally sound option for mitigating on-farm fly breeding.

Native to Asia, this beetle has hitchhiked several times in infested wood packaging used in international trade, and has established breeding populations in five U.S. states, Canada, and at least 11 countries in Europe. It has a broad host range for a cerambycid that attacks living trees, but in the introduced ranges it prefers maples. Identification, classification, and life history of this insect are reviewed here. Eradication is the goal where it has been introduced, which requires detection of infested trees using several approaches, including ground and tree-climbing surveys. Several agencies and researchers in the United States and Europe are evaluating the use of pheromone- and kairomone-baited traps. Control options beyond cutting down infested trees are limited. To date, the parasitoids and predators of this beetle have broad host ranges and are unlikely to be approved in the United States or Europe. An effective delivery system under development for entomopathogenic fungi appears promising. Systemic insecticides have been widely used in the United States, but the ability of these chemicals to reach lethal doses in the crown of large trees is disputed by some scientists, and the potential nontarget effects, especially on pollinators, raise concerns. The most practical approach for eradicating Asian longhorned beetle is to optimize trapping methods using semiochemicals for early detection to eliminate the insect before it spreads over large areas.

Thereafter, intensive research was conducted to develop pest control methods in table olives grown for canned fruit. The life history of olive fruit fly was elucidated, and the distribution and abundance of the adults determined through trapping programs. Olive samples from noncommercial trees were collected from 2002 through 2013 in different locations to determine the maximum number of larvae per fruit. Larvae were most abundant in September and October and ranged from <0.5 to 10 per fruit. The date of maximum fruit infestations may differ annually due to the amount of fruit set, fruit size, and weather. Very high numbers of larvae were collected from large green fruit (>= 4 g), whereas smaller fruit (similar to 2-3 g) supported fewer insects. High larval numbers were found in fruit from areas with cooler summer weather than in fruit from the hot inland valleys. Olive fruit fly larval populations were prevalent in locations with high summer temperatures when buffered by cool marine air flow or slightly higher elevations from the inland valley floor. High larval infestations were found at an arid location with hot summers, suggesting that olive fruit fly may adapt to such conditions. Infested fruit was collected from the same locations in subsequent years, and the proximity of commercial olive orchards may enhance susceptibility to future infestation. Control methods are summarized, including intensive biological control programs and new techniques such as bait stations considered for pest management programs.

TI The Effect of a Mycotoxin Deactivation Product on Growth of Juvenile Rainbow Trout Fed Distillers Dried Grains SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AQUACULTURE LA English DT Article ID ONCORHYNCHUS-MYKISS; APPARENT DIGESTIBILITY; SCREW EXTRUSION; DIETS; INGREDIENTS; FEEDSTUFFS; SOLUBLES; DDGS; COEFFICIENTS; NUTRIENTS AB Distillers dried grains (DDG) with solubles (DDGS) is a product that has shown potential as a protein source for some fish species, but high inclusion rates of DDGS have not always been successfully achieved for Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Our objective was to determine whether inclusion of a mycotoxin deactivation product (Biofix Plus) could improve the ability of high-protein DDG (HPDDG) to replace a portion of the fish meal in diets for Rainbow Trout. The 2 x 2 factorial feeding trial examined protein source (menhaden fish meal [ MFM] or HPDDG) with or without Biofix Plus. Acontrol diet (42% digestible protein, 20% crude lipid, 25% MFM) was compared to a test diet in which HPDDG replaced 12% of the total MFM on a digestible-protein basis (24% HPDDG inclusion). Diets were fed to juvenile RainbowTrout (initial weight: mean +/- SE = 30.5 +/- 1.6 g) in four replicate tanks per treatment for 9 weeks in a 15 degrees C recirculating system. At the conclusion of the feeding trial, we observed no negative effects of fish meal replacement on growth or feed conversion ratio; no benefit of Biofix Plus supplementation was observed. These data indicate that when Rainbow Trout diets containing a high-quality DDGS product are balanced for digestible protein, lysine, methionine, and threonine, dietary fishmeal levels can be successfully reduced to 13% without compromising growth and without the need for mycotoxin deactivator inclusion.

Fish were fed a 28% protein diet to apparent satiation once daily. Ponds were equipped with electric paddlewheel aerators (12.5 hp/ha) that were turned on when dissolved oxygen (DO) levels reached <5.0 mg/L; additional aeration was provided by power-takeoff tractor-driven paddlewheels at DO <2.5 mg/L. Feeding was terminated at the end of October and fish were harvested and weighed. Stocking density had no significant effect on feed conversion (overall average, 1.97), survival (>= 93% in all treatments), or processing yield (carcass yield = 66.2%, shank fillet yield = 34.8%, nugget yield = 10.5%). Harvest weight was not significantly different between 7,425 and 22,275 fish/ha (average, 0.85 kg) but was less at 27,225 fish/ha (0.72 kg). Net production increased significantly with increased density from 7,425 to 22,275 fish/ha but was not different between 22,275 and 27,225 fish/ha. Percentage of submarketable fish (<0.45 kg) was not significantly different from pond densities of 7,425 through 22,275 fish/ha (average, 2.3%), but was higher at 27,225 fish/ha (8.8%). Aeration hours increased and minimum DO levels decreased significantly as stocking density increased. The smaller average weight at 27,225 fish/ha may have been due to fish behavior associated with crowding, lack of equal access to feed, or degraded water quality. However, past research has demonstrated a "threshold" relationship between minimum DO levels and catfish feeding and growth. Data from this study indicate a similar DO threshold-growth relationship, suggesting the observed effect of density on growth may have been at least partially due to minimum DO levels being below that needed for optimal growth at 27,225 fish/ha.

Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus x male Blue Catfish I. furcatus) were reared as single-batch crops during the growing season (June-September) of two years under two different dissolved oxygen (DO) regimes each year: (1) a high-DO (control) treatment with minimum daily DO maintained above 3.8 ppm in both years and (2) a low-DO (test) treatment with minimum DO maintained at 1.6 ppm in the first year and 1.3 ppm in the second year. Fish were fed daily to apparent satiation with a 32% protein commercial feed and harvested each year. In both years, dissolved oxygen concentration significantly impacted gross and net production, final fish weight, and mean fish weight gain due to reduced feed intake. Feed intake was reduced in the low-DO treatment by 26.6% in year 1 and 29.2% in year 2. Food conversion ratios averaged 1.83 overall and were not affected by minimum DO. Fish in high-DO treatments gained an average of 44% more weight (1.50 lb/fish) than fish in low-DO treatments (1.04 lb/fish). Initial weight at stocking also had a significant impact on weight gain: fish stocked at a 0.16-lb average weight (year 2) gained 37% more weight than fish stocked at a 0.11-lb average weight (year 1), even though the stocking rate of the larger fish was 50% higher. Hybrid catfish had less reduction in feed intake at reduced DO compared with reported values for Channel Catfish and Blue Catfish.

The extended conformation of chitosan in a pH 4.0 solution increased the intermolecular interactions with pullulan compared to the more compact coiled form, resulting in higher tensile strength and barrier properties of the Pul-Chi film and higher viscosity of the film-forming solution. The water solubility (W-s) of the Pul-Chi film decreased to 35% above pH 4.0. Water content, thickness and percentage elongation (E%) all decreased with decreasing pH. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis suggested that the formation of -NH3+ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds increased the amide II bending mode. At pH values below 4.0, shielding of the protonated amine groups caused a decrease in bending frequency. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak for crystallite chitosan was not observed in Pul-Chi films. The properties of Pul-Chi films depended on the conformation changes of chitosan molecules and can be controlled by pH.

Estuarine habitat usage by fish, including juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp., was characterized by sampling with a modified tow net in Willapa Bay, Washington, where 20% of the intertidal area is utilized for shellfish aquaculture and thus is difficult to sample with conventional gear. Our goal was to compare fish use of relatively undisturbed habitats (open mudflat, seagrass, and channel habitats) with the use of nearby oyster culture habitat. Although many species showed significant temporal and spatial trends within the estuary, only Shiner Perch Cymatogaster aggregata exhibited a significant association with habitat. Juveniles of three salmonid species exhibited few associations with the low intertidal habitats over which they were captured or in the prey types they consumed there. Chinook Salmon O. tshawytscha, likely hatchery-released ocean-type fish, were the most common salmonid captured, and they utilized low intertidal areas throughout the summer as their mean size increased from 85 to 100 mm FL. Diets consumed by these larger juvenile Chinook Salmon were not associated with benthic habitat but instead consisted primarily of (1) insects from nearby marsh or terrestrial habitats and (2) planktonic prey, like decapod larvae and tunicate larvaceans. Juvenile Coho Salmon O. kisutch and Chum Salmon O. keta were captured earlier (April and May) and fed on a slightly different suite of prey taxa, which were also primarily pelagic rather than associated with the intertidal benthos. Our findings suggest that in this relatively shallow coastal estuary, the role of benthic habitat is not closely linked to its value as a source of food for large juvenile salmon out-migrants utilizing the low intertidal areas where aquaculture occurs.

TI Effects of Spatial Extent on Modeled Relations between Habitat and Anadromous Salmonid Spawning Success SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID INDIVIDUAL-BASED MODEL; INSTREAM FLOW; PHABSIM; FISH; POPULATIONS; DECISIONS; RULES; SPACE; LOST AB We address the question of spatial extent: how model results depend on the amount and type of space represented. For models of how stream habitat affects fish populations, how do the amount and characteristics of habitat represented in the model affect its results and how well do those results represent the whole stream? Our analysis used inSalmo, an individual-based model of anadromous salmonid spawning, incubation, and juvenile rearing. The model was applied to 12 sites, totaling 4.0 km in length, on Clear Creek, California, treating the simulated 4.0 km as a synthetic whole stream. Simulation experiments examined responses of anadromous salmonid spawning and rearing success to habitat variables, such as flow and temperature, when the model included each individual site, all sites, and random combinations of two to nine sites. Some responses, such as temperature effects on egg incubation, were insensitive to spatial extent. Other responses, including the effects of flow on the production of large juveniles, varied sharply among sites and varied with spatial extent. Most small sites had little effect on overall results, but one small site provided exceptionally good juvenile rearing habitat and strongly affected the responses of the entire stream. Larger sites (length > 15 channel widths) in distinct habitat types (e.g., highly disturbed and recently restored) also had strong effects. Including more or longer sites generally increased model representativeness but not consistently. Results highly representative of the entire stream could also be obtained by combining large sites in typical habitat with "hot spots" of especially productive habitat. Finally, sites lower in the watershed appear to be more important to model results and anadromous salmonid spawning success because more juveniles migrate through them.

MOENCH; COLLETOTRICHUM-SUBLINEOLUM; MOLECULAR DIVERSITY; GENETIC DIVERSITY; TRAITS; REGISTRATION; GRAMINICOLA; INHERITANCE; ASSOCIATION; COLLECTION AB Sorghum is an important worldwide crop whose yield can be significantly reduced by anthracnose (Colletotrichum sublineola) and grain mold diseases (multiple fungi). The identification of new genetic sources of resistance to both diseases is imperative for the development of new sorghum varieties. To this end, a total of 80 exotic germplasm accessions from Burkina Faso (BFA) and South Africa (ZAF) were evaluated for anthracnose and grain mold resistance during two planting periods in 2012 at the USDA-ARS experimental farms in Isabela, Puerto Rico. Twelve accessions were resistant to anthracnose during both evaluations of which 10 are originally from BFA. The anthracnose resistant accessions identified herein had a hypersensitive reaction characterized by lesions having red and purple color. Likewise, 9 accessions exhibited grain mold resistance after being inoculated with a mixture of a conidial suspension of Fusarium thapsinum, Fusarium semitectum, and Curvularia lunata during both periods. Eight of these accessions (PI 586182, PI 586186, PI 647705, PI 647706, PI 647707, PI 647708, PI 647710, and PI 647712) originated from BFA, while one (PI 61666) is from ZAF. The PI 586186 was the only accession that exhibited resistance to both anthracnose and grain mold. The grain mold resistant accession PI 61666 has a panicle shape that resembles a standard United States commercial type sorghum and is also photoperiod insensitive. The results presented herein indicate that the BFA germplasm could be an important source for anthracnose and grain mold resistance genes. The integration of these anthracnose and grain mold resistant germplasm into sorghum breeding programs should aid in expanding the genetic diversity and in the development of new resistant varieties.

Here we tested combinations of Trichoderma sp. Tri-1, formulated with oilseed rape seedcake and straw, with reduced application rates of the recommended chemical pesticide carbendazim for control of this pathogen on oilseed rape. The treatment containing the recommended rate of carbendazim provided the greatest reduction in disease when compared with treatments containing individual applications of lower rates of this pesticide or the formulated Tri-1 treatment in all field experiments. Treatments containing formulated Tri-1 combined with carbendazim applied at 50% or 75% the recommended rate reduced incidence of disease to levels statistically similar to the treatment containing carbendazim applied at the recommended rate in two field experiments conducted at the Wuxue County field site where a rice-oilseed rape rotation was used. The treatment containing formulated Tri-1 combined with carbendazim applied at 75% the recommended rate reduced incidence of disease to levels statistically similar to the treatment containing carbendazim applied at the recommended rate in two field experiments conducted at the Wuhan field site where a soybean-oilseed rape rotation was used. Experiments reported here using two oilseed rape production rotations indicate that integration of a biologically based control tactic, such as formulated Tri-1, into a disease management strategy can increase oilseed rape production sustainability through reduction in the use of chemical pesticides.

Rapidly increasing evolution of resistance to herbicides with these MOAs has greatly increased the need for herbicides with new MOAs. Combinatorial chemistry and gene knockout approaches have not led to commercial herbicides with new MOAs. The question arises as to how many good herbicide MOAs exist. The relatively little that we know of the MOAs of natural phytotoxins that can effectively kill plants suggests that there are herbicide MOAs yet to be exploited. Some of these targets are questionable because of potential toxicological problems, but many others are not. The MOAs of natural phytotoxins are discussed and strategies to maximize discovery of new MOAs with natural products that might be used as herbicides are presented.

Conophthorin has recently gained attention as a semiochemical for navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae); yet, other lepidopterans also have reported semiochemical behavior to conophthorin. Sources of conophthorin are diverse and include plants, insects, fungi, and bacteria. Until recently, conophthorin production was generally believed to be from plants and insects. The recent inclusion of microbes as a source of conophthorin has expanded its current role as mediator of plant-insect interactions to include mediating discrete insect-microbe interactions. Recent investigations into a host plant-based attractant for navel orangeworm have indicated a mutualism between conophthorin-producing fungal spores and navel orangeworm, specifically when considering almond orchards as the host plant for both. The diverse role of conophthorin as a semiochemical for such a wide range of insects suggests that conophthorin is a critical chemical cue. These studies also suggest that the bioactivity of conophthorin is enhanced or defined by the associated background odors of the relevant host plant. Provided herein is an overview of the source and role of conophthorin as it relates to lepidopteran insect pests. Also included are data on a blend of volatiles that contains conophthorin and the blend's efficacy to attract both male and female navel orangeworm in mating disruption environments.

Intravenous (IV) administration of BC-containing PLG-ANPs (BC-PLGA-NPs) coated with polysorbate 80 (PS80) has been shown to effectively deliver BC to the brain. However, the whole-body distribution profile of BC is still not clear. Therefore, we investigated the accumulation of BC in various organs, including the brain, following IV administration of PS80-coated BC-PLGA-NPs in rats. Methods: PS80-coated and uncoated BC-PLGA-NPs were prepared by solvent evaporation, and administered intravenously to Sprague Dawley rats at a BC dose of 8.5 mg/rat. Accumulation of BC in various organs (brain, heart, liver, lungs, and spleen) and blood plasma was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet (UV) detection, 1 hour after administration. Results: We prepared PS80-coated BC-PLGA-NPs with an entrapment efficiency of 14%, a particle size of 260 nm, and a zeta potential of -26 mV. Coating with PS80 was found to result in significant accumulation of BC in the lungs, rather than in the brain and other tissues. Further, plasma levels of BC in the PS80-coated BC-PLGA-NP group were much lower than those of the uncoated BC-PLGA-NP group. Conclusion: Following IV administration, PS80-coated BC-PLGA-NPs are quickly transferred from plasma circulation to the lungs, rather than the brain. Significant accumulation of BC in the lungs may be useful for health-related applications.

Developed by(1,2), PRI evolved from laboratory reflectance measurements of individual leaves. Yet in a remotely sensed image, a pixel measurement may include light from both reflecting and transmitting leaves. We compared values of PRI based upon polarized reflectance and transmittance measurements of water and nutrient stressed leaves. Our results show the polarized leaf surface reflection should be removed when calculating PRI and that the leaf physiology information is in leaf interior reflectance, not leaf transmittance.

The processes (e.g. photosynthesis) account for most of the fluxes of carbon and water cycling in the models. It is thus clear that errors in solar radiation inputs cause key model outputs to deviate from observations, parameters to become suboptimal, and model predictions to loose confidence. However, errors in solar radiation inputs are unavoidable for most model predictions since models are often run with observations with spatial or / and temporal gaps. As modeled processes are non-linear and interacting with each other, it is unclear how much confidence most model predictions merits without examining the effects of those errors on the model performance. In this study, we examined the effects using a terrestrial ecosystem model, DayCent. DayCent was parameterized for annual grassland in California with six years of daily eddy covariance data totaling 15,337 data points. Using observed solar radiation values, we introduced bias at four different levels. We then simultaneously calibrated 48 DayCent parameters through inverse modeling using the PEST parameter estimation software. The bias in solar radiation inputs affected the calibration only slightly and preserved model performance. Bias slightly worsened simulations of water flux, but did not affect simulations of CO2 fluxes. This arose from distinct parameter set for each bias level, and the parameter sets were surprisingly unconstrained by the extensive observations. We conclude that ecosystem models perform relatively well even with substantial bias in solar radiation inputs. However, model parameters and predictions warrant skepticism because model parameters can accommodate biases in input data despite extensive observations.

The performance of the traditional calibration method, Langley Analysis (LA), varies with MFRSR channels and sites, resulting in less confidence in some irradiance products. A two-stage calibration method is developed. We attributed the variation in Langley Analysis performance to the monotonically changing total optical depth (TOD) in the cloud screened points. Constant TOD is an assumption in LA. Since (1) aerosol is the main source of TOD variation at the 368nm channel and (2) UV-MFRSR measures direct normal and diffuse horizontal simultaneously, we used the radiative transfer model (i.e. MODTRAN) to create the look-up table of the ratio of direct normal and diffuse (DDR) with respect to aerosol optical depth (AOD) and solar zenith angle to evaluate the quality of the Langley Offset (V-LO) by giving lower weights to V-LO generated from points with monotonic AOD variation. With one or two calibrated channels as Reference Channels (RC), the most stable points in RC were selected and LA was applied on those time points to generate V-LO at the adjacent un-calibrated channel. The test of this method on the UV-B program site at Homestead, Florida showed that (1) The long-term trend of the original LA V-LO is impacted by the monotonic changing in AOD at 368nm channel; and (2) more clustered and abundant V-LO at all channels are generated compared with the original Langley method.

At present it is an ideal data source in simulative monitoring of regional-scale changes in surface energy and water. However, the spatial resolution of its thermal infrared band is relatively low (1 km). The Landsat TM/ETM+ data have high spatial resolutions, but their single thermal infrared bands can lead to the fact that the inversion accuracy for the surface temperature is not high, and the time resolution is low. This limits its application in the surface evapotranspiration (ET) monitoring. Combining TM/ETM + visible wave band with MODIS thermal infrared wave band, this paper discusses a multi-scale remote sensing method to estimate regional surface ET. Based on the space enhancement method, the vegetation index estimated by TM/ETM + enhances the surface temperature scale with the inversion of MODIS to a 30-meter resolution, which aims to improve the estimation accuracy of ET in the non-uniform surface mixed-pixel. The results show that this method has a higher accuracy of ET estimation compared with the method only using MODIS or ETM+ data. Moreover, it can obtain a more obvious effect on scale correction in the uneven land surface or various surface covering types, and the corrected ET is close to the observation result.

Surface reflectance of a typical Upper Midwest corn /soybean region in central Iowa across multiple years reveal subtle dynamics in vegetative surface response to a continually varying climate. From 2006 through 2014 remotely sensed data have been acquired over production fields of corn and soybeans in central IA, U.S.A. with the fields alternating between corn and soybeans. The data have been acquired using ground-based radiometers with 16 wavebands covering the visible, near-infrared, shortwave infrared wavebands and combined into a series of vegetative indices. These data were collected on clear days with the goal of collecting data at a minimum of once per week from prior to planting until after fall tillage operations. Within each field, five sites were established and sampled during the year to reduce spatial variation and allow for an assessment of changes in the vegetative indices throughout the growing season. Ancillary data collected for each crop included the phenological stage at each sampling date along with biomass sampled at the onset of the reproductive stage and at physiological maturity. Evaluation of the vegetative indices for the different years revealed that patterns were related to weather effects on corn and soybean growth. Remote sensing provides a method to evaluate changes within and among growing seasons to assess crop growth and development as affected by differences in weather variability. C1 [Prueger, J.

Between 1948 and 2011, average annual input growth in US agriculture averaged approximately 0.07% while annual average output growth averaged roughly 1.5%. That translates into an annual average agricultural TFP growth rate of approximately 1.43%. That growth has led to a remarkable expansion of the productive ability of the US agricultural sector. However, climate change poses unprecedented challenges to U.S. agricultural production because of the sensitivity of agricultural productivity and costs to changing climate conditions. Some studies have examined the effect of climate change on U.S. agriculture. But none has investigated how climate affects the overall U.S. agricultural productivity. This study intends to find out climate change impacts on U.S. agricultural TFP change (TFPC). By correlation analysis with data in 1979-2005, we found that precipitation and temperature had significant positive or negative correlations with U.S. agricultural TFPC. Those correlation coefficients ranged from -0.8 to 0.8. And significant correlations, whether positive or negative, existed in different regions and different seasons. This is important information for policy-makers in decisions to support U.S. agriculture sustainability.

The conclusions are as follows: The coastline of this study area showed a rising trend during 1980 to 2010, the silty coastline showed a reduction trend while the artificial coastline showed an increasing trend, natural and social factors together determined the evolution of coastline. The reclamation area was the largest during 1980 to 1990 and the area was the smallest during 1990 to 2000, demographic factors and economic factors are the most prominent driving reasons of the reclamation. This paper can provide data support and services for the study area to implement management and sustainable development more efficiently.

In the Tephritidae family several species complexes have received particular attention as they include important agricultural pests such as the Ceratitis fasciventris (Bezzi), Ceratitis anonae (Graham) and Ceratitis rosa Karsch (FAR) complex, the Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) complex and the Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) complex. Here the value and usefulness of a methodology that uses walk-in field cages with host trees to assess, under semi-natural conditions, mating compatibility within these complexes is reviewed, and the same methodology to study the role of chemical communication in pre-mating isolation among A. fraterculus populations is used. Results showed that under the same experimental conditions it was possible to distinguish an entire range of different outcomes: from full mating compatibility among some populations to complete assortative mating among others. The effectiveness of the methodology in contributing to defining species limits was shown in two species complexes: A. fraterculus and B. dorsalis, and in the case of the latter the synonymization of several established species was published. We conclude that walk-in field cages constitute a powerful tool to measure mating compatibility, which is also useful to determine the role of chemical signals in species recognition. Overall, this experimental approach provides a good source of information about reproductive boundaries to delimit species. However, it needs to be applied as part of an integrative taxonomic approach that simultaneously assesses cytogenetic, molecular, physiological and morphological traits in order to reach more robust species delimitations.

Despite significant work on a few key pest species within the complex, little has been published on the majority of non-economic species in the complex, other than basic descriptions and illustrations of single specimens regarded as typical representatives. To elucidate the species relationships within the B. dorsalis complex, we used 159 sequences from one mitochondrial (COI) and two nuclear (elongation factor-1a and period) genes to construct a phylogeny containing 20 described species from within the complex, four additional species that may be new to science, and 26 other species from Bactrocera and its sister genus Dacus. The resulting concatenated phylogeny revealed that most of the species placed in the complex appear to be unrelated, emerging across numerous clades. This suggests that they were placed in the B. dorsalis complex based on the similarity of convergent characters, which does not appear to be diagnostic. Variations in scutum and abdomen color patterns within each of the non-economic species are presented and demonstrate that distantly-related, cryptic species overlap greatly in traditional morphological color patterns used to separate them in keys. Some of these species may not be distinguishable with confidence by means other than DNA data.

TI LSA SAF Meteosat FRP products - Part 1: Algorithms, product contents, and analysis SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID ACTIVE FIRE DETECTION; BIOMASS BURNING EMISSIONS; RADIATIVE POWER; ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION; CENTRAL-AFRICA; SOUTH-AMERICA; AIR-QUALITY; MODIS; SATELLITE; SEVIRI AB Characterizing changes in landscape fire activity at better than hourly temporal resolution is achievable using thermal observations of actively burning fires made from geostationary Earth Observation (EO) satellites. Over the last decade or more, a series of research and/or operational "active fire" products have been developed from geostationary EO data, often with the aim of supporting biomass burning fuel consumption and trace gas and aerosol emission calculations. Such Fire Radiative Power (FRP) products are generated operationally from Meteosat by the Land Surface Analysis Satellite Applications Facility (LSA SAF) and are available freely every 15 min in both near-real-time and archived form. These products map the location of actively burning fires and characterize their rates of thermal radiative energy release (FRP), which is believed proportional to rates of biomass consumption and smoke emission. The FRP-PIXEL product contains the full spatio-temporal resolution FRP data set derivable from the SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) imager onboard Meteosat at a 3 km spatial sampling distance (decreasing away from the west African sub-satellite point), whilst the FRP-GRID product is an hourly summary at 5 degrees grid resolution that includes simple bias adjustments for meteorological cloud cover and regional underestimation of FRP caused primarily by under-detection of low FRP fires. Here we describe the enhanced geostationary Fire Thermal Anomaly (FTA) detection algorithm used to deliver these products and detail the methods used to generate the atmospherically corrected FRP and perpixel uncertainty metrics. Using SEVIRI scene simulations and real SEVIRI data, including from a period of Meteosat-8 "special operations", we describe certain sensor and data preprocessing characteristics that influence SEVIRI's active fire detection and FRP measurement capability, and use these to specify parameters in the FTA algorithm and to make recommendations for the forthcoming Meteosat Third Generation operations in relation to active fire measures. We show that the current SEVIRI FTA algorithm is able to discriminate actively burning fires covering down to 10(-4) of a pixel and that it appears more sensitive to fire than other algorithms used to generate many widely exploited active fire products. Finally, we briefly illustrate the information contained within the current Meteosat FRP-PIXEL and FRP-GRID products, providing example analyses for both individual fires and multi-year regional-scale fire activity; the companion paper (Roberts et al., 2015) provides a full product performance evaluation and a demonstration of product use within components of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS).

TI A non-equilibrium model for soil heating and moisture transport during extreme surface heating: the soil (heat-moisture-vapor) HMV-Model Version 1 SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID POROUS-MEDIA; WATER-RETENTION; THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY; HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY; CHARACTERISTIC CURVE; HIGH-TEMPERATURE; CONDENSATION; FORMULATION; DIFFUSION; AIR AB Increased use of prescribed fire by land managers and the increasing likelihood of wildfires due to climate change require an improved modeling capability of extreme heating of soils during fires. This issue is addressed here by developing and testing the soil (heat-moisture-vapor) HMV-model, a 1-D (one-dimensional) non-equilibrium (liquid-vapor phase change) model of soil evaporation that simulates the coupled simultaneous transport of heat, soil moisture, and water vapor. This model is intended for use with surface forcing ranging from daily solar cycles to extreme conditions encountered during fires. It employs a linearized Crank-Nicolson scheme for the conservation equations of energy and mass and its performance is evaluated against dynamic soil temperature and moisture observations, which were obtained during laboratory experiments on soil samples exposed to surface heat fluxes ranging between 10 000 and 50 000 W m(-2). The Hertz-Knudsen equation is the basis for constructing the model's non-equilibrium evaporative source term. Some unusual aspects of the model that were found to be extremely important to the model's performance include (1) a dynamic (temperature and moisture potential dependent) condensation coefficient associated with the evaporative source term, (2) an infrared radiation component to the soil's thermal conductivity, and (3) a dynamic residual soil moisture. This last term, which is parameterized as a function of temperature and soil water potential, is incorporated into the water retention curve and hydraulic conductivity functions in order to improve the model's ability to capture the evaporative dynamics of the strongly bound soil moisture, which requires temperatures well beyond 150 degrees C to fully evaporate. The model also includes film flow, although this phenomenon did not contribute much to the model's overall performance. In general, the model simulates the laboratory-observed temperature dynamics quite well, but is less precise (but still good) at capturing the moisture dynamics. The model emulates the observed increase in soil moisture ahead of the drying front and the hiatus in the soil temperature rise during the strongly evaporative stage of drying. It also captures the observed rapid evaporation of soil moisture that occurs at relatively low temperatures (50-90 degrees C), and can provide quite accurate predictions of the total amount of soil moisture evaporated during the laboratory experiments. The model's solution for water vapor density (and vapor pressure), which can exceed 1 standard atmosphere, cannot be experimentally verified, but they are supported by results from (earlier and very different) models developed for somewhat different purposes and for different porous media. Overall, this non-equilibrium model provides a much more physically realistic simulation over a previous equilibrium model developed for the same purpose. Current model performance strongly suggests that it is now ready for testing under field conditions. C1 [Massman, W. J.] US Forest Serv, Rocky Mt Res Stn, Ft Collins, CO 80526 USA.

Wheat has many wild relatives in which to source new resistance genes, including the cereal crop of rye in the tertiary genepool. The aim of this study was to assess the reaction of 1BL.1RS and 2RL.2BS double wheat-rye translocation lines to virulent stem rust races from Africa and North America. BC1F3 and BC1F4 populations from a cross between the line KR99-139 (a double wheat-rye translocation line with 1BL.1RS and 2RL.2BS) and the bread wheat cultivar Topper were used in the study. Several of the populations homozygous for 1BL. 1RS and heterozygous for 2RL.2BS showed resistance and low severity adult plant resistance (20RMR-50MSS) to the African stem rust race TTKSK in the field. None of the tested populations with varying chromosome combinations showed seedling resistance to any of the tested stem rust races. Thus, these resistant populations likely carry gene/s effective at the adult plant stage since all stage resistance genes with major effect appear to be absent based on the seedling assays. Resistant lines combined three chromosomes (1RS, 2RS and 2BS) which make their direct use in breeding more complicated. Mapping studies followed by potential transfer of genes between 2R and 2B will make the identified minor genes more useful in wheat breeding.

Research is being conducted in several areas within this field, including: 1) green catalysis, 2) diverse feedstock base, 3) degradable polymers and waste minimization, 4) recycling of polymer products and catalysts, 5) energy generation or minimization during use, 6) optimal molecular design and activity, 7) benign solvents, and 8) improved syntheses or processes in order to achieve atom economy, reaction efficiency, and reduced toxicity. Advances have been made in many areas, including new uses of biobased feedstock, green reactions, green processing methodologies, and green products. A selected review is made in this article, focusing particularly on biobased materials and biocatalysis. Some recent developments and examples are provided, taken particularly from the presentations made at the American Chemical Society (ACS) national meeting in San Francisco in August 2014 and the articles included in this symposium volume.

Most of these glucans are water-soluble, except for a few notable exceptions from cariogenic Streptococcus spp. and a very small number of Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains. The ability to produce water-insoluble glucans in situ may be of value in enhanced oil recovery, encapsulation technology and in the production of biocompatible films and fibers. There are several different ways in which these enzymes can be exploited to produce water-insoluble glucans with varying properties. In previous work, we found that modifying a single amino acid from a L. mesenteroides glucansucrase significantly altered the proportions of linkage types, with correlating changes in the physical properties of the polysaccharide. Here we present results of our studies on factors affecting the structures and yields of these insoluble glucans. For example, addition of soluble dextran or an enzyme that produces a soluble dextran can increase the yield of insoluble glucan. However, the insoluble glucan product contains a lower proportion of alpha(1 -> 3) linkages. We also show that the yield is drastically affected by both substrate and enzyme concentrations. Studies using cloned enzymes indicate no significant differences between the insoluble-glucan producing enzymes from L. mesenteroides strains NRRL B-523 and B-1118.

The reactions include Diels-Alder, ene reaction, transesterification, acid or enzymatic hydrolysis, heat-bodying reaction, hydrogenation, epoxidation, formation of acetonide, aminohydrin, and azidohydrin, click reaction, and polymerization. A wide range of products have been made from plant oils and their epoxidized derivatives. Many of these reaction pathways produce new triglyceride structures not previously reported.

There is a wealth of US wildfire activity data available for such analyses, but users must be aware of inherent reporting biases, inconsistencies and uncertainty in the data in order to maximise the integrity and utility of their work. Data for analysis are generally acquired from archival summary reports of the federal or interagency fire organisations; incident-level wildfire reporting systems of the federal, state and local fire services; and, increasingly, remote-sensing programs. This paper provides an overview of each of these sources and the major reporting biases, inconsistencies and uncertainty within them. Use of national fire reporting systems by state and local fire organisations has been rising in recent decades, providing an improved set of incident-level (documentary) data for all-lands analyses of wildfire activity. A recent effort to compile geospatial documentary fire records for the USA for 1992-2013 has been completed. The resulting dataset has been evaluated for completeness using archival summary reports and includes a linkage to a widely used, remotely sensed wildfire perimeter dataset.

S.; PERSPECTIVE; PROJECTIONS; CALIFORNIA; SCENARIOS AB Very large fires (VLFs) have important implications for communities, ecosystems, air quality and fire suppression expenditures. VLFs over the contiguous US have been strongly linked with meteorological and climatological variability. Building on prior modelling of VLFs (>5000ha), an ensemble of 17 global climate models were statistically downscaled over the US for climate experiments covering the historic and mid-21st-century periods to estimate potential changes in VLF occurrence arising from anthropogenic climate change. Increased VLF potential was projected across most historically fire-prone regions, with the largest absolute increase in the intermountain West and Northern California. Complementary to modelled increases in VLF potential were changes in the seasonality of atmospheric conditions conducive to VLFs, including an earlier onset across the southern US and more symmetric seasonal extension in the northern regions. These projections provide insights into regional and seasonal distribution of VLF potential under a changing climate, and serve as a basis for future strategic and tactical fire management options.

Herein we used a decade (2003-12) of NFDRS indices and US Forest Service (USFS) fire reports to examine daily relationships between fire danger and the number and growth rate of wildfires burning within a single predictive service area (PSA) in the Northern Rockies, USA. Results demonstrate that daily associations can be used to: (1) extend the utility of the NFDRS beyond the discovery date of new fires; (2) examine and justify the temporal window within which daily fire danger indices are averaged and related to total burned area; (3) quantify the probability of managing an active incident as a function of fire danger; and (4) quantify the magnitude and variability of daily fire growth as a function of fire danger. The methods herein can be extended to other areas with a daily history of weather and fire records, and can be used to better inform fire management decisions or to compare regional responses of daily fire activity to changes in fire danger.

From 2000 to 2008, five wildfires burned a large portion of the area in and surrounding the Linville Gorge Wilderness in North Carolina. Areas were burned either once or twice. The response of acid cove and thermic oak plant communities (structure, cover, richness, diversity) was measured in 78 vegetation monitoring plots, established in 1992 and remeasured in 2010-11. Fire altered forest structure in both communities, resulting in the mortality of larger trees and increases in the abundance of smaller (<5cm diameter at breast height (DBH)) stems. Burning twice decreased stem counts for mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) in both communities, whereas oaks (Quercus spp.) responded positively to burning twice in the thermic oak community. Table Mountain pine stem counts increased in acid cove and thermic oak communities burned once. Fire appears to promote princesstree (Paulownia tomentosa) invasion. Herbaceous species cover responded positively to fire (once or twice; both communities), with concurrent increases in woody species richness and diversity. Tree species composition in acid cove plots was not affected by burning, although some slight changes occurred in thermic oak plots burned twice.

As part of their continuing study of fires in Mediterranean shrub, F. Morandini and X. Silvani reported experimental temperatures, heat fluxes, flame characteristics and other fire behaviour variables measured on five wind-slope-aided fires. Calculating convection numbers and several convective Froude numbers, the authors concluded that these dimensionless variables for their two wind-dominated fires did not satisfy criteria identified in previous studies for determining mechanisms of heat transfer during fuel preheating. The present paper describes a re-analysis of the data based on a triangular flame model and alternative definitions of flame tilt angle and height. This new analysis has shown that the influence of slope on the fire behaviour was not accounted for; thus, the conclusion of Morandini and Silvani is questionable. Of the five dimensionless variables studied using criteria in the literature, the squared flame height convective Froude number best describes modes of heat transfer to unburned fuels during the experimental fires. Though these results come indirectly from field measurements, they confirm the need to include slope effects in descriptions of wind-slope-aided fire behaviour.

This article provides an overview of the issues of jobs, collaborations, and women leaders of the global chemistry enterprise. The availability of jobs is a significant contributor to the attractiveness of chemistry and chemical engineering as a career and ongoing job satisfaction of professionals working in this area. Included in this article are the issue of supply and demand of chemistry jobs, women as professors and professionals, and increased access to international career opportunities offered by ACS International Activities. Collaboration has always been known to be an effective method to stimulate and accelerate innovation. With increasing globalization, international collaboration is becoming increasingly important. A large number of successful international collaborations are provided in the chapters in this book and summarized in this article. The chemistry profession has often been difficult for women because of various forms of bias and competing priorities of family and career. Yet, a number of women scientists over the years have overcome difficulties and achieved notable success in scientific scholarship and/or professional leadership. Examples of successful women scientists, engineers, and leaders are cited in this article and described in detail in this book. All the information has been taken from the lectures given in two international symposia at the ACS national meeting in San Francisco in August 2014. C1 [Cheng, H.

TI Site-specific temporal and spatial validation of a generic plant pest forecast system with observations of Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly) SO NEOBIOTA LA English DT Article ID INVADENS DIPTERA TEPHRITIDAE; THERMAL DEATH KINETICS; POPULATION-DYNAMICS; 3RD INSTARS; QUARANTINE DISINFESTATION; POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION; COLD DISINFESTATION; DISTRIBUTION MODELS; CERATITIS-CAPITATA; TRYONI FROGGATT AB This study introduces a simple generic model, the Generic Pest Forecast System (GPFS), for simulating the relative populations of non-indigenous arthropod pests in space and time. The model was designed to calculate the population index or relative population using hourly weather data as influenced by developmental rate, high and low temperature mortalities and wet soil moisture mortality. Each module contains biological parameters derived from controlled experiments. The hourly weather data used for the model inputs were obtained from the National Center of Environmental Prediction Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (NCEP-CFSR) at a 38 km spatial resolution. A combination of spatial and site-specific temporal data was used to validate the GPFS models. The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), was selected as a case study for this research because it is climatically driven and a major pest of fruit production. Results from the GPFS model were compared with field B. dorsalis survey data in three locations: 1) Bangalore, India; 2) Hawaii, USA; and 3) Wuhan, China. The GPFS captured the initial outbreaks and major population peaks of B. dorsalis reasonably well, although agreement varied between sites. An index of agreement test indicated that GPFS model simulations matched with field B. dorsalis observation data with a range between 0.50 and 0.94 (1.0 as a perfect match). Of the three locations, Wuhan showed the highest match between the observed and simulated B. dorsalis populations, with indices of agreement of 0.85. The site-specific temporal comparisons implied that the GPFS model is informative for prediction of relative abundance. Spatial results from the GPFS model were also compared with 161 published observations of B. dorsalis distribution, mostly from East Asia. Since parameters for pupal overwintering and survival were unknown from the literature, these were inferred from the distribution data. The study showed that GPFS has promise for estimating suitable areas for B. dorsalis establishment and potentially other non-indigenous pests. It is concluded that calibrating prediction models with both spatial and site-specific temporal data may provide more robust and reliable results than validations with either data set alone.

This study reports on ten years of eddy covariance measurements over groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) in New Mexico, USA, to compare the role of drought and flooding on radiation, water, and energy budgets of forests differing in species composition (native cottonwood versus nonnative saltcedar) and flooding regime. After net radiation (700-800 Wm(-2)), latent heat flux was the largest energy flux, with annual values of evapotranspiration exceeding annual precipitation by 250-600%. Evaporative cooling dominated the energy fluxes of both forest types, although cottonwood generated much lower daily values of sensible heat flux (< -5MJ m(-2) d(-1)). Drought caused a reduction in evaporative cooling, especially in the saltcedar sites where evapotranspiration was also reduced, but without a substantial decline in depth-to-groundwater. Our findings have broad implications on water security and the management of native and nonnative vegetation within semiarid southwestern North America. Specifically, consideration of the energy budgets of GDEs as they respond to fluctuations in climatic conditions can inform the management options for reducing evapotranspiration and maintaining in-stream flow, which is legally mandated as part of interstate and international water resources agreements.

Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is one such alternative showing great promise for use in the control of soilborne pathogens and pests. This method involves the application of a carbon source, irrigation to field capacity, and covering the soil with a plastic tarp. While the mechanisms of ASD are not completely understood, they appear to be a combination of changes in the soil microbial community composition, production of volatile organic compounds, and the generation of lethal anaerobic conditions. The variety of materials and options for ASD application, including carbon sources, soil temperature, and plastic tarp type, influence the efficacy of pathogen suppression and disease control. Currently, both dry (e.g., rice bran) and liquid (e.g., ethanol) carbon sources are commonly used, but with different results depending on environmental conditions. While solarization is not an essential component of ASD, it can enhance efficacy. Understanding the mechanisms that mediate biological changes occurring in the soil during ASD will facilitate our ability to increase ASD efficacy while enhancing its commercial viability.

We lay out basic system levels and inter-relations. We include a 'human' level, and address the different affects human activities are exerting on the other levels and interrelations. We point out that in more recent times; man's affects have extended more deeply into the lowest levels of earths systems, such as atmosphere and energy. Since our objectives are to discover, organize, deliver and evaluate new knowledge to better govern the anthropocene, we look at simple cybernetic concepts of effector and feedback via controller. The chances of effective governance can be increased if the important source properties can be identified and their dynamics be used by the cybernetic controller - to lower the level of complexity encountered. Research in the anthropocene needs to ensure that research; from the experimental design, the data collection, the analyses and models; maintain an understanding of the triangle of systems, the interactions and the feedbacks to the systems. Only this way can research support the governance in the Anthropocene, based on environmental data, use of cutting edge research and understanding of the theory of systems.

Increasing evidence exhibits the relevance of aquaporins to tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought, nutrient deficiency, and herbivore attack. With the accumulation of crop genome sequencing, it is suggested that several aquaporin genes are conserved in subchromosomal locations as tandem duplicated members. In this review, we will discuss the compelling nature of aquaporins as multifunctional transport channels that are often encoded in clustered regions of genomes and relevant to stress resistance in plants.

TI Representing northern peatland microtopography and hydrology within the Community Land Model SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID WATER-TABLE DEPTH; CLIMATE-CHANGE; RAISED BOG; MOISTURE CONDITIONS; CENTRAL MINNESOTA; SPHAGNUM MOSSES; CARBON BALANCE; WETLAND; FLUXES; SOIL AB Predictive understanding of northern peatland hydrology is a necessary precursor to understanding the fate of massive carbon stores in these systems under the influence of present and future climate change. Current models have begun to address microtopographic controls on peatland hydrology, but none have included a prognostic calculation of peatland water table depth for a vegetated wetland, independent of prescribed regional water tables. We introduce here a new configuration of the Community Land Model (CLM) which includes a fully prognostic water table calculation for a vegetated peatland. Our structural and process changes to CLM focus on modifications needed to represent the hydrologic cycle of bogs environment with perched water tables, as well as distinct hydrologic dynamics and vegetation communities of the raised hummock and sunken hollow microtopography characteristic of peatland bogs. The modified model was parameterized and independently evaluated against observations from an ombrotrophic raised-dome bog in northern Minnesota (S1-Bog), the site for the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change experiment (SPRUCE). Simulated water table levels compared well with site-level observations. The new model predicts hydrologic changes in response to planned warming at the SPRUCE site. At present, standing water is commonly observed in bog hollows after large rainfall events during the growing season, but simulations suggest a sharp decrease in water table levels due to increased evapotranspiration under the most extreme warming level, nearly eliminating the occurrence of standing water in the growing season. Simulated soil energy balance was strongly influenced by reduced winter snowpack under warming simulations, with the warming influence on soil temperature partly offset by the loss of insulating snowpack in early and late winter. The new model provides improved predictive capacity for seasonal hydrological dynamics in northern peatlands, and provides a useful foundation for investigation of northern peatland carbon exchange.

In a model of prednisolone-induced susceptibility to FHS, the changes in plasma proteins and peptides were analyzed to find possible biomarkers. Plasma samples from control and FHS-susceptible birds were depleted of their high abundance proteins by acetonitrile precipitation and were then subjected to cation exchange and reverse-phase (RP) fractionations. Analysis with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) showed several differentially expressed peptides, two of which were isolated by RP-HPLC and identified as the fragments of apolipoprotein A-I. The acetonitrile fractionated plasma proteins were subjected to reduction/alkylation and trypsin digestion followed by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry, which showed the absence of protocadherin 15, vascular endothelial growth factor-C, and certain transcription and ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic factors in FHS-prone birds. It appears that prednisolone-induced dyslipidemia, vascular, and tissue adhesion problems may be consequential to FHS. Validity of these biomarkers in our model and the natural disease must be verified in future using traditional approaches. BIBIOMARKER INSIGHTS: Lameness because of femoral head separation (FHS) is a production and welfare problem in the poultry industry. Selection against FHS requires identification of the birds with subclinical disease with biomarkers from a source such as blood. Prednisolone can induce femoral head problems and predisposition to FHS. Using this experimental model, we analyzed the plasma peptides and proteins from normal and FHS-prone chickens by mass spectrometry to identify differentially expressed peptides and proteins. We found two peptides, both derived from apolipoprotein A-I, quantitatively elevated and two proteins, protocadherin 15 and VEGF-C, that were conspicuously absent in FHS-susceptible birds.

Specifically, artificial lighting, including road lighting, poses negative effects on plant and animal physiology, animal behaviour and predation rates. These effects are cumulative as multiple. artificial light sources contribute. 18.1 Light functions as a natural stimulus. 18.2 Metrics used to quantify artificially produced light are generally not biologically relevant. 18.3 Species response to artificial light varies by visual system. 18.4 Light emitted varies relative to the type of lighting technology. 18.5 Planning for road lighting must include zoning relative to light levels and light-fixture placement. 18.6 Mitigating the negative effects of road lighting requires research collaboration. Negative effects of artificial lighting, including road lighting, are manageable. By better understanding the ecosystems through which roads pass and how light affects resident organisms, we can adapt lighting fixtures, fixture design and zoning to minimise site-specific effects, as well as contributions to cumulative light pollution.

Some bird species have biological features and life history traits that make them particularly vulnerable to habitat loss from roads and mortality due to wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC). Road planning that proactively considers the biological needs of birds will help avoid project delays and extra costs for mitigation, as well as achieve positive outcomes for birds. Several strategies effectively avoid or mitigate the negative effects of roads on birds. 33.1 Roads can adversely affect birds despite the common assumption that birds avoid mortality and barrier effects because they can fly. 33.2 Wildlife-vehicle collisions kill millions of birds annually. 33.3 Planning the timing and location of road construction and maintenance is crucial for the survival and conservation of birds. 33.4 Flight diverters may reduce the likelihood of vehicle collisions with birds. 33.5 Wildlife crossing structures can decrease the barrier effect. 33.6 Structural changes along roads can reduce noise impacts. 33.7 Roadsides should be managed to make them less attractive to birds. Implementing design features that separate birds from traffic, reducing resources that attract birds to the roadway and minimising disruptive light and noise emanating from the roadway are the main mitigation measures for birds. However, more research is needed to quantify the various effects of roads and the cumulative effect of road networks on birds and, perhaps more critically, to explore ways to prioritise and effectively mitigate the most negative impacts.

The biological processes leading up to pregnancy establishment, maintenance, and birth are complex and dependent on the coordinated timing of a series of events at the molecular, cellular, and physiological level. The ability to ovulate a competent oocyte, which is capable of undergoing fertilization, is only the initial step in achieving a successful pregnancy. Once fertilization has occurred and early embryonic development is initiated, early pregnancy detection is critical to provide proper prenatal care (humans) or appropriate management (domestic livestock). However, the simple presence of an embryo, early in gestation, does not guarantee the birth of a live offspring. Pregnancy loss (embryonic mortality, spontaneous abortions, etc.) has been well documented in all mammals, especially in humans and domestic livestock species, and is a major cause of reproductive loss. It has been estimated that only about 25-30 % of all fertilized oocytes in humans result in birth of a live offspring; however, identifying the embryos that will not survive to parturition has not been an easy task. Therefore, investigators have focused the identification of products in maternal circulation that permit the detection of an embryo and assessment of its well-being. This review will focus on the advances in predicting embryonic presence and viability, in vivo. C1 [Pohler, K. G.] Univ Tennessee, Dept Anim Sci, Knoxville, TN 37901 USA. [Green, J. A.; Smith, M.

Sorption coefficients were determined using a batch equilibrium method to evaluate relative differences in binding among the three herbicides. Based on water solubility values, we would have expected the relative order of binding to be dimethenamid-p (1450.mg L-1 at 20 degrees C), s-metolachlor (530.mg L-1 at 20 degrees C), and pyroxasulfone (3.49.mg L-1 at 20 degrees C) in order of increasing binding. However, when sorption coefficients were calculated, we observed the order of pyroxasulfone = dimethenamid-p1, National Program 211: Water Availability and Watershed Management (project no. 2036-61000-015-00), and by the University of California Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives (MRPI).

TI Rainfall erosivity estimation based on rainfall data collected over a range of temporal resolutions SO HYDROLOGY AND EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID NE SPAIN; R-FACTOR; EROSION; AUSTRALIA; ISLAND; INDEX; CHINA AB Rainfall erosivity is the power of rainfall to cause soil erosion by water. The rainfall erosivity index for a rainfall event (energy-intensity values - E I-30) is calculated from the total kinetic energy and maximum 30 min intensity of individual events. However, these data are often unavailable in many areas of the world. The purpose of this study was to develop models based on commonly available rainfall data resolutions, such as daily or monthly totals, to calculate rainfall erosivity. Eleven stations with 1 min temporal resolution rainfall data collected from 1961 through 2000 in the eastern half of China were used to develop and calibrate 21 models. Seven independent stations, also with 1 min data, were utilized to validate those models, together with 20 previously published equations. The models in this study performed better or similar to models from previous research to estimate rainfall erosivity for these data. Using symmetric mean absolute percentage errors and Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficients, we can recommend 17 of the new models that had model efficiencies >= 0.59. The best prediction capabilities resulted from using the finest resolution rainfall data as inputs at a given erosivity timescale and by summing results from equations for finer erosivity timescales where possible. Results from this study provide a number of options for developing erosivity maps using coarse resolution rainfall data.

Two methods of preparation were employed. In the first method, a controlled amount of IL was added to preassembled dry matrix of cotton and Aspen wood with a burlap weave reinforcement. In the second method, IL solvent, cotton, and Aspen wood were mixed to produce a thick paste matrix that was subsequently pressed into the burlap weave reinforcement. The IL-based solvent was removed via water soaking, and the flexural and tensile properties of the LCs were examined. In this study, the matrix paste method produced a superior LC. Variables such as processing time (IL interaction time) and fabric weaves were found to influence the mechanical properties of the LCs. Although significant process optimization can still be realized, the mechanical properties of several of the LCs fabricated in this study were comparable to injection molded test specimens of neat high density polyethylene or neat polypropylene.

The Notes section provides the seminal citations, data and/or commentary to all changes since 1983 for easy and future reference. In addition, this list proposes seven new generic combinations, the transfer of a phycitine species, Salebria nigricans (Hulst), to Epipaschiinae and its syn. n. with Pococera fuscolotella (Ragonot), and three new records for the United States. Purposefully, no new taxa are described here, but we found a gradual increase of 10% in the number of species described since 1983. Finally, we also include a list of thirteen species not included or removed from the MONA list. Many higher-level changes have occurred since 1983 and the classification is updated to reflect research over the last 30 years, including exclusion of Thyrididae and Hyblaeidae from the superfamily and recognition of Crambidae and Pyralidae as separate families. The list includes multiple changes to subfamilies based on morphology such as the synonymization of the Dichogamini with the Glaphyriinae, but also incorporating recent molecular phylogenetic results such as the synonymization of the Evergestinae with the Glaphyriinae.

Five new species of Urgleptes from the Dominican Republic are described herein: U. charynae Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (La Vega province), U. conjunctus Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Peravia Prov.), U. curtipennis Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Independencia Prov.), U. marionae Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Monsenor Nouel Prov.), and U. obliteratus Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Pedernales Prov.). Two additional, previously described species are newly recorded for Hispaniola: U. puertoricensis Gilmour and U. sandersoni Gilmour. It is established that U. haitiensis Gilmour is a new synonym of U. sandersoni. Thus there are seven species of Urgleptes recorded for Hispaniola. For all species photographs, illustrations, full descriptions, distribution maps, and a dichotomous key are included for their identification.

Both random and fixed effects estimates are derived using a generalised gravity model and data from 2000-2012. Findings show that the distance between importing and exporting countries has a negative effect on poultry imports into Africa. The importing country's gross domestic product (GDP) has a positive effect on the poultry trade to Africa, while short-and long-term exchange rate risk causes a reduction in poultry trade to African countries. Also, an increase in the total poultry exported by a country has a positive impact on the importing African country.

The increasing greenhouse gas emission and global warming during climate change result in the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Climate change is expected to have important consequences for sugarcane production in the world, especially in the developing countries because of relatively low adaptive capacity, high vulnerability to natural hazards, and poor forecasting systems and mitigating strategies. Sugarcane production may have been negatively affected and will continue to be considerably affected by increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme environmental conditions due to climate change. The degree of climate change impact on sugarcane is associated with geographic location and adaptive capacity. In this paper, we briefly reviewed sugarcane response to climate change events, sugarcane production in several different countries, and challenges for sugarcane production in climate change in order for us to better understand effects of climate change on sugarcane production and to propose strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of climate change and improving sugarcane production sustainability and profitability.

TI Maternal Deworming Research Study (MADRES) protocol: a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial to determine the effectiveness of deworming in the immediate postpartum period SO BMJ OPEN LA English DT Article ID BREAST-FED INFANTS; CHILD UNDERNUTRITION; TERM INFANTS; PREGNANCY; ANEMIA; MILK; SUPPLEMENTATION; HEALTH; IMPACT; CONSEQUENCES AB Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminth infections are endemic in 114 countries worldwide, and cause the highest burden of disease among all neglected tropical diseases. The WHO includes women of reproductive age as a high-risk group for infection. The primary consequence of infection in this population is anaemia. During lactation, anaemia may contribute to reduced quality and quantity of milk, decreasing the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and lowering the age at weaning. To date, no study has investigated the effects of maternal postpartum deworming on infant or maternal health outcomes. Methods and analysis: A single-centre, parallel, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial will be carried out in Iquitos, Peru, to assess the effectiveness of integrating single-dose 400 mg albendazole into routine maternal postpartum care. A total of 1010 mother-infant pairs will be randomised to either the intervention or control arm, following inhospital delivery and prior to discharge. Participants will be visited in their homes at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months following delivery for outcome ascertainment. The primary outcome is infant mean weight gain between birth and 6 months of age. Secondary outcomes include other infant growth indicators and morbidity, maternal soil-transmitted helminth infection and intensity, anaemia, fatigue, and breastfeeding practices. All statistical analyses will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Ethics and dissemination: Research ethics board approval has been obtained from the McGill University Health Centre (Canada), the Asociacion Civil Impacta Salud y Educacion (Peru) and the Instituto Nacional de Salud (Peru). A data safety and monitoring committee is in place to oversee study progression and evaluate adverse events. The results of the analyses will be published in peer-reviewed journals, and presented at national and international conferences.

Generation 100 is a randomised, controlled study where the primary aim is to evaluate the effects of 5 years of exercise training on mortality in an elderly population. Methods and analysis: All men and women born in the years 1936-1942 (n=6966), who were residents of Trondheim, Norway, were invited to participate. Between August 2012 and June 2013, a total of 1567 individuals (790 women) were included and randomised to either 5 years of two weekly sessions of high-intensity training (10 min warm-up followed by 4x4 min intervals at similar to 90% of peak heart rate) or, moderate-intensity training (50 min of continuous work at similar to 70% of peak heart rate), or to a control group that followed physical activity advice according to national recommendations. Clinical examinations, physical tests and questionnaires will be administered to all participants at baseline, and after 1, 3 and 5 years. Participants will also be followed up by linking to health registries until year 2035. Ethics and dissemination: The study has been conducted according to the SPIRIT statement. All participants signed a written consent form, and the study has been approved by the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics, Norway. Projects such as this are warranted in the literature, and we expect that data from this study will result in numerous papers published in world-leading clinical journals; we will also present the results at international and national conferences.

The salinity levels of the irrigation water were -0.03, -0.15, -0.30, -0.45, and -0.60 MPa osmotic pressure (corresponding to specific electrical conductivity values of 1.2, 4.0, 8.5, 12, and 15.8 dS m(-1), respectively). We salinized the irrigation water with either a mixture of salts with a predominant composition consisting of Na+-Ca2+-Cl- salts, a composition typical of coastal Mediterranean ground waters or, alternatively, a salt composition that was of mixed Na+-Ca2+-SO42- -Cl- ions, a water composition more typical of interior continental basin ground waters such as those of the California Central Valley in the US. We determined that there were no statistically significant differences in tomato salt tolerance (fruit yield) relative to water type. This result indicates that in the range of Cl-concentrations tested in our experiment (up to 150 mmol L-1), Cl- is not an important factor in tomato yield reduction associated with salinity. The grafted Big Dena on Maxifort tomato plants exhibited increased yield both under control and elevated salinity levels relative to the nongrafted Big Dena plants. In contrast to absolute yield relationships, expression of salt tolerance in terms of relative yield, as salt tolerance is commonly expressed, provides the conclusion that grafted Big Dena on Maxifort tomato plants are slightly less salt tolerant than nongrafted Big Dena plants. Our data also indicate that, for tomato, decreased yield under saline conditions is well related to increased leaf Na+ concentrations.

Soil Cd pollution, resulting from both anthropogenic and geogenic sources, has posed an increasing challenge to soil quality and food security as well as to human health. Compared with other heavy metals such as copper (Cu) and lead (Pb), Cd demonstrates greater mobility along food chain and in the environment. Cd is harmful to human health and potentially toxic to biota at lower concentrations. Therefore, it is imperative to develop management strategies for control of pollution sources and remediation of contaminated soils. Extensive studies have been conducted in recent years to understand biogeochemical processes of Cd in soils, its cycle in agroecosystems, impacts on soil quality and food security, and the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils. Phytoremediation as an emergent technology has stimulated refreshed interest since it is cost effective and ecofriendly, especially the use of metal hyperaccumulating plants to extract or mine heavy metals from contaminated soils. Progress has been made in the understanding of mechanisms that govern Cd accumulation and detoxification in accumulating plants. This review provides recent progress in soil biogeochemistry and plant physiology of Cd, mechanisms of hyperaccumulation of Cd in plant, remediation strategies including chemical and microbiological enhancement, and optimization of field management practices, in the hope to stimulate more research in the future.

TI Assessment of the potential for hybridisation between Laricobius nigrinus (Coleoptera: Derodontidae) and Laricobius osakensis, predators of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) SO BIOCONTROL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE hemlock woolly adelgid; Laricobius; hybridisation ID EASTERN NORTH-AMERICA; DNA; SPECIATION; FECUNDITY; BEETLES AB In 2003, Laricobius nigrinus Fender was introduced into the eastern United States as a biological control agent of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae Annand). Following its release, it was discovered that L. nigrinus was hybridising and producing viable progeny with Laricobius rubidus LeConte, a species native to eastern North America. Recently, Laricobius osakensis Montgomery and Shiyake was imported from Japan into the USA as a potential biological control agent of hemlock woolly adelgid. Hybridisation between L. nigrinus and L. rubidus led to interest in the outcome of interactions between L. osakensis and the other two Laricobius spp. The purpose of this study was to determine if L. osakensis could mate with L. nigrinus, if they could produce hybrid progeny, and whether mating interferes with reproductive output. Laricobius spp. were observed mating directly following emergence and found to be capable of producing sterile eggs in the absence of a mating event. Laboratory and confined field studies found no evidence that L. osakensis and L. nigrinus could produce hybrid progeny and the interaction between the two species did not result in a lower reproduction associated with interspecific mating attempts. Interbreeding should therefore not have an impact on biological control using these species. Fecundity experiments showed that L. osakensis produced eggs earlier in the season and at a higher rate than L. nigrinus, suggesting that L. osakensis may have the potential to be an even more successful biological control agent than L. nigrinus.

TI Interfacial improvements in biocomposites based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) bioplastics reinforced and grafted with alpha-cellulose fibers SO GREEN CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITES; BIODEGRADATION BEHAVIOR; POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITES; RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; POLY(LACTIC ACID); GREEN COMPOSITES; POLYMER BLENDS; POLYHYDROXYBUTYRATE; POLYESTERS AB In this study, alpha-cellulose fibers reinforced green biocomposites based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and the copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were prepared and characterized. The alpha-cellulose fibers were isolated from at-risk intermountain lodgepole pine wood by successive removal of extractives, lignin and hemicellulose. Grafting of PHB or PHBV onto cellulose was conducted using reactive extrusion with dicumyl peroxide free radical initiation at high temperature. It is postulated that the grafted copolymers at the interfaces of cellulose and the polymer matrix performed as an interfacial coupling agent. Grafting tended to interact with both the hydrophilic fibers and the hydrophobic PHB or PHBV matrix. The biocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and indicated good interfacial bonding and compatibility between the two phases. The mechanical properties of the biocomposites were improved by grafting due to improved stress transfer between the two interphases of the fiber/polymer matrix as compared to the blend control composite. The crystallinity of PHB, PHBV and cellulose in the biocomposite were reduced as determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. This in situ reactive extrusion process offers an effective approach to improve the properties of biocomposite materials from sustainable resources.

This bacterium tolerates normally lethal concentrations of SeO32- in liquid culture, where it also produces Se nanoparticles. Structure and cellular ultrastructure of the Se nanoparticles as determined by cellular electron tomography shows the nanoparticles as intracellular, of narrow dispersity, symmetrically irregular and without any observable membrane or structured protein shell. Protein mass spectrometry of a fractionated soluble cytosolic material with selenite reducing capability identified nitrite reductase and glutathione reductase homologues as NADPH dependent candidate enzymes for the reduction of selenite to zerovalent Se nanoparticles. In vitro experiments with commercially sourced glutathione reductase revealed that the enzyme can reduce SeO32- (selenite) to Se nanoparticles in an NADPH-dependent process. The disappearance of the enzyme as determined by protein assay during nanoparticle formation suggests that glutathione reductase is associated with or possibly entombed in the nanoparticles whose formation it catalyzes. Chemically dissolving the nanoparticles releases the enzyme. The size of the nanoparticles varies with SeO32- concentration, varying in size form 5 nm diameter when formed at 1.0 mu M [SeO32-] to 50 nm maximum diameter when formed at 100 mu M [SeO32-]. In aggregate, we suggest that glutathione reductase possesses the key attributes of a clonable nanoparticle system: ion reduction, nanoparticle retention and size control of the nanoparticle at the enzyme site.

A series of magnetic bamboo charcoal composites (MBC800, MBC1000 and MBC1200) with high saturation magnetization (M-s) was fabricated in this work by mixing bamboo charcoal powder with an aqueous ferric chloride solution and subsequently pyrolyzing under different temperatures (800, 1000 and 1200 degrees C) in a tube furnace. All the products were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDAX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The results show that the pyrolytic temperature plays a significant role in determining the final structures and magnetic properties of the products. The magnetite (Fe3O4) and a certain amount of amorphous hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) coexist in MBC800. However, zerovalent iron (ZVI) is the only detectable magnetic phase in both MBC1000 and MBC1200. The M-s values of MBC1000 and MBC1200 are 118.1 and 122.7 emu g(-1), respectively. Excellent magnetic properties of the two ZVI/bamboo charcoal composites not only facilitate the separation of solid phase, but also indicate that these materials could have high potential for other applications, such as in the biomedical or ferrofluid fields.

TI Factors affecting long-term mortality of residential shade trees: Evidence from Sacramento, California SO URBAN FORESTRY & URBAN GREENING LA English DT Article DE Monitoring; Residential; Survivorship; Tree mortality; Urban ecosystem; Yard tree ID INTERVAL-CENSORED-DATA; SOCIOECONOMIC-STATUS; COST-EFFECTIVENESS; SURVIVAL; IMPACTS; BENEFITS; CITIES; USA AB Urban tree survival is essential to sustain the ecosystem services of urban forests and monitoring is needed to accurately assess benefits. While some urban forestry studies have reported street tree survival, little is known about the factors influencing residential yard tree survival, especially over the long-term. We assessed residential shade tree survival in Sacramento, California over 22 years. Tree survival data were collected through field surveys and aerial photointerpretation. Survival analysis was used to evaluate longitudinal tree survivorship. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with mortality at the property- and tree-level. Our results showed that 22-year survivorship was 42.4% with 96.2% annual survival rate and 3.82% annual mortality rate. Our observed mortality was substantially higher than initial projections that were used to estimate long-term energy saving performance of the Sacramento Shade program. We found that higher mortality during the establishment phase was associated with greater number of trees delivered and with planting in low and high net property value properties (compared to those with medium net property value). For the post-establishment phase, trees with small mature size those planted in backyards and those in properties with very unstable homeownership were more likely to die. This study has implications for the development of data-driven urban forestry programs and provides more realistic assumptions to accurately estimate the long-term benefits of tree planting initiatives.

Aerial photo interpretation with ground-truthing was used to identify and catalog vacant parcels of land within the city limits and the results mapped using the i-Tree Canopy and i-Tree Eco models to define land cover classes and quantify ecosystem structure and services. An analysis of urban forest cover in Roanoke's vacant land reveals that this area has about 210,000 trees, with a tree cover of 30.6%. These trees store about 97,500 t of carbon, valued at $7.6 million. In addition, these trees remove about 2090 t of carbon (valued at $164,000), and about 83 t of air pollutants (valued at $916,000) every year, which is high relative to other land uses in Roanoke. Trees on vacant land in the city are estimated to reduce annual residential energy costs by $211,000 for the city's 97,000 residents. The structural value of the trees growing on vacant land is estimated at $169 million. Information on the structure and functions of urban forests on vacant land can be used to evaluate the contribution made by urban vacant land's green infrastructure to improving environmental quality. The methodology applied to assess ecosystem services in this study can also be used to assess ecosystem services of vacant land in other urban contexts. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Major drivers have been new commercial opportunities afforded by scientific advances and liberalization of agricultural input markets. Along with rising private R&D investment, agricultural input industries have undergone significant structural changes. These developments have been pronounced in both high-income and developing countries. The rising importance of private R&D, however, does not imply a diminished role of the public sector, as most empirical evidence points to complementarities between public and private agricultural R&D.

MCLas-A was suggested as an active MITE because of its mobility. The immediate upstream gene of the two MITEs was predicted to be a putative transposase. The goal of this study is to analyze the sequence variation in the upstream putative transposase of MITEs and explore the possible correlation between sequence variation of transposase gene and MITE activity. PCR and sequence analysis showed that 12 sequence types were found in six major amplicon types from 43 representative 'Ca. L. asiaticus' isolates from China, the United States and Brazil. Out of the 12 sequence types, three (14, T5-2, T6) were reported for the first time. Recombination events were found in the two unique sequence types (T5-2 and 16) which were detected in all Brazilian isolates. Notably, no sequence variation or recombination events were detected in the upstream putative transposase gene of MCLas-A, suggesting the conservation of the transposase gene might be closely related with the MITE activity. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated two well supported clades including five subclades were identified, clearly reflecting the geographical origins of isolates, especially that of Ruili isolates, Sao Paulo isolates and a few Florida isolates.

TI A study of the 2013 Western European issue of aflatoxin contamination of maize from the Balkan area SO WORLD MYCOTOXIN JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE mycotoxin; ochratoxin A; corn; slurry; sampling strategy; fungal characterisation ID TESTING SHELLED CORN; ASPERGILLUS SECTION CIRCUMDATI; OCHRATOXIN-A; PARASITICUS; COMPONENTS; FUMONISIN; HUNGARY; FLAVUS; FUNGI AB In March 2013 a large shipment of maize, intended for feed was subject of an alert in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed of the European Commission (EC) because the aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)) level in the load exceeded the EC regulated maximum level of 20 mu g/kg. Since the shipment had passed import controls and was already distributed (mainly to German farms), a massive recall followed. The aim of the current study was to investigate questions, raised by authorities and industry, related to the effectivity of EU sampling procedures, the influence of sample homogenisation procedures and sample storage conditions on the test results, and fungal identification as unexpected mycotoxins were identified during this study. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority seized a shipload of maize in July 2013, suspected to be contaminated with AFB(1). The shipload was sampled according to the 2009 and 2013 EC Sampling Regulations to compare the outcomes of both sampling protocols. Mycotoxin analysis of the incremental samples showed high mean levels of AFB(1), aflatoxin G(1) (AFG(1)), and ochratoxin A (OTA). Also an extreme inhomogeneous distribution of aflatoxins and OTA was proven. Analysis of samples homogenised according to the slurry method showed improved performance as compared to samples homogenised through dry homogenisation. Sampling and sample homogenisation according to the Regulation from 2013 showed a closer estimate of the 'true' AFB(1) content as compared to sampling according to the Regulation from 2009. No influence of laboratory storage conditions on AFB(1) concentration could be determined. Fungal identification revealed Aspergillus flavus as the main source of AFB(1) in this shipment. Infrequent occurrence of Aspergillus parasiticus might have been the source of AFG(1). The occurrence of sometimes large amounts of OTA could not be explained, however it was suggested that Aspergillus welwitschiae might have played a role. C1 [de Rijk, T. C.; van Egmond, H.

Ray TI Impact of Soil Variability on Irrigated and Rainfed Cotton SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID WATER-STRESS; YIELD AB Cotton is a vital component of the economies of Mid-South states. Producers and landowners are looking for ways to reduce the variability of irrigated yields, and soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) is a readily obtained parameter that can indicate soil variability. A study was conducted in 2011 and 2012 at the Fisher Delta Research Center in Portageville, MO, with the objective to determine the impact of soil spatial variability on yield and irrigation water use efficiency for cotton. Observed ECa values were low, consistent with average sand contents that ranged from 59 to 82% in the upper 0.76 m of the soil profile. Spatial autocorrelation was present in the data and thus spatial analyses were used. In 2011, yields for two treatments were not significantly different from the mean field effect; however, the ECa effect was significant, indicating that soil variability impacted yield more than irrigation differences for the two treatments. In 2012, yields for four of the six treatments were significantly different from the mean field effect; however, the ECa effect was not significant. A quadratic equation was fit to the combined data from irrigated and rainfed plots in 2012. The resulting equation had a maximum of 3,372 kg ha(-1) at 135 mm total irrigation and the median observed ECa value (3.0 mS m(-1)). Future efforts will include additional fields and environments, which should increase the understanding of the impact of soil variability and allow for improved selection of optimum management zones for site specific application of water and other inputs.

TI Impact of Gin Saw-tooth Design on Fiber and Textile Processing Quality SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article AB Toothed gin saws have been used to separate cotton fiber from the seed for more than 200 years. A scientific analysis of saw-tooth design has never been published and the optimum saw-tooth design has not been found. Initial laboratory ginning evaluations of some modern gin saw teeth have shown differences among designs in ginning rate, fiber length measurements, and textile processing quality. The saw gin stand used for testing was a Continental Double Eagle that had been cut down to 46 saws. Four different sets of 16-in diameter, commercially available replacement saws were obtained from independent suppliers. These four sets, along with the standard Continental saw set, were used for five test saw treatments. The test saws varied in the number of teeth per saw from 328 to 352. Testing of the five saw treatments was replicated four times for a total of 20 ginning lots. Each ginning lot was analyzed for raw fiber quality and textile spinning performance. Most of the raw fiber properties were not significantly affected by the saw treatments. However, HVI length and length uniformity after one stage of lint cleaning and seed cotton processing rate were significantly different among saw treatments. The ginning rates varied by 34% from the lowest to the highest at 75% gin stand motor load. The ginned fiber was processed into both open-end and ring-spun yarns. There were few significant differences among saw treatments for the open-end yarn, but there were significant differences for the ring-spun yarn in ends down (a measure of spinning efficiency), yarn evenness, and yarn strength. This indicates that gin saw-tooth design might significantly affect spinning efficiency and yarn quality. Research is currently being done to further understand how gin saw-tooth design affects ginned fiber quality and textile processing quality factors. C1 [Hughs, S.

TI Unloading System Total Particulate Emission Factors and Rates for Cotton Gins: Method 17 SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article AB This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of stack sampling. The impetus behind this project was the urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues. A key component of this study was focused on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) total particulate emission factors. EPA AP-42 emission factors generally are assigned a rating, from A (excellent) to E (poor), to assess the quality of the data being referenced. Current EPA total particulate emission factor quality ratings for cotton gins are extremely low. Cotton gin data received these low ratings because the data were collected almost exclusively from a single geographical region. The objective of this study was to collect additional total particulate emission factor data for unloading systems from cotton gins located in regions across the cotton belt using EPA-approved stack sampling methodology, Method 17. The project plan included sampling seven cotton gins. Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems, and 4) abatement technologies. Three gins with unloading system exhausts were sampled. The average production rate during testing for the three gins was 24.7 bales/h. The unloading system average total particulate emission factor based on three tests (nine total test runs) was 0.134 kg/227-kg bale (0.296 lb/500-lb bale). This average total particulate emission factor was higher than that currently published in 1996 EPA AP-42, which was 0.13 kg/bale (0.29 lb/bale). The unloading system emission rate test averages ranged from 1.56 to 3.93 kg/h (3.43-8.67 lb/h). C1 [Whitelock, Derek P.] ARS, USDA, Southwestern Cotton Ginning Res Lab, Mesilla Pk, NM 88047 USA.

TI Battery Condenser System Total Particulate Emission Factors and Rates for Cotton Gins: Method 17 SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article AB This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of stack sampling. The impetus behind this project was the urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues. A key component of this study was focused on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) total particulate emission factors. EPA AP-42 emission factors generally are assigned a rating, from A (excellent) to E (poor), to assess the quality of the data being referenced. Current EPA total particulate emission factor ratings for cotton gins are extremely low. Cotton gin data received these low ratings because the data were collected almost exclusively from a single geographical region. The objective of this study was to collect additional total particulate emission factor data for battery condenser systems from cotton gins located in regions across the cotton belt using EPA-approved stack sampling methodology. The project plan included sampling seven cotton gins. Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems, and 4) abatement technologies. Six gins with battery condenser system exhausts equipped with cyclones were sampled. The average production rate during testing for the six gins was 30.8 bales/h. The average battery condenser system total particulate emission factor based on six tests (18 total test runs) was 0.032 kg/227-kg bale (0.070 lb/500-lb bale). This average total particulate emission factor was higher than that currently published in 1996 EPA AP-42, which was 0.018 kg/bale (0.039 lb/bale).

There is no standard method for equilibrium moisture content by oven drying (OD). The KFT technique is specific for water; in the OD procedure the weight of the loss volatiles at 105 to 110 degrees C is the measure of moisture content, all of which is incorrectly attributed to water. The results from OD we call "moisture content" and from KFT "water content". Different OD procedures, with dissimilar sample conditioning systems, drying ovens, size, and number of weighing bottles in the oven, currently are used to make measurements. Yet, no comprehensive study of the multiple causes of the difference between equilibrium water and moisture content has been reported. To assist with explaining the observed disparity, the present effort develops a list of six potential OD biases. The origin of these biases is incomplete drying and weight change due to side reactions in opposite directions. Using a control cotton, the biases were measured at moisture equilibrium in four different OD procedures. The corrections were applied to the moisture content data from a dozen Mississippi cotton samples analyzed by the same OD methods. Method grand mean results were 7.73% water compared to moisture content before/after bias correction, respectively: 7.19/7.80, 7.50/7.80, 7.42/7.69, and 7.79/7.92. By changing OD features it was possible to suppress one bias over the other. Samples were conditioned to more stringent specifications to provide precise data to test the hypotheses in this research.

The spatial impact and sustainability of dairy lagoon water reuse from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) has not been evaluated at field scale. The objective of this study is to monitor the impact of dairy lagoon water blended with recycled water on a 32 ha field near San Jacinto, CA from 2007 to 2011. Spatial monitoring was based on soil samples collected at locations identified from apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) directed sampling. Soil samples were taken at depth increments of 0-0.15, 0.15-0.3, 0.3-0.6, 0.6-0.9, 0.9-1.2, 1.2-1.5, and 1.5-1.8 m at 28 sample sites on 7-11 May 2007 and again on 31 May -2 June 2011 after 4 years of irrigation with the blended waters. Chemical analyses included salinity (electrical conductivity of the saturation extract, ECe), pH(e) (pH of the saturation extract), SAR (sodium adsorption ratio), trace elements (As, B, Mo, Se), and heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn). Results indicate a decrease in mean values of pH(e) at all depth increments; a decrease in ECe and SAR above a depth of 0.15 m, but an increase below 0.15 m; a decrease in all trace elements except B, which increased throughout the 1.8 m profile; and the accumulation of Cd, Mn, and Ni at all depth increments, while Cu was readily leached from the 1.8 m profile. Zinc showed little change. The results focused concern on the potential long-term agronomic effect of salinity, SAR, and B, and the long-term environmental threat of salinity and Cu to detrimentally impact groundwater. The accumulation of Cd, Mn, and Ni in the soil profile raised concern since it provided a potential future source of metals for leaching. The long-term sustainability of dairy lagoon water reuse hinges on regular monitoring to provide spatial feedback for site-specific management.

We hypothesized that the replacement of culverts with bridges would restore ecosystem connectivity via remediation of dispersal barriers. Our study objectives were to (1) characterize fish assemblages in three Michigan streams before and after culvert replacement by bridges, and (2) determine the effect of fish sample size on our ability to quantify fish assemblage similarity. To address the first objective, we surveyed the fish assemblages of the three study streams (upstream and downstream of the culvert) prior to, 1 year after, and 3 years after culvert removal via standardized electrofishing. The similarity of upstream and downstream fish assemblages increased by 9-25% following culvert removal. Relative fish abundance decreased but biomass of fishes remained constant, indicating a shift in size structure toward larger individuals. To address the second objective, we conducted a bootstrap analysis for all samples. Large sample sizes of fishes (150-350 individuals) were necessary to accurately and precisely measure community similarity. However, changes in community similarity could be detected with relatively small samples (50-100 individuals). Our study illustrates the ecological potential of culvert removal for restoring stream connectivity. C1 [Evans, Nathan T.; Lamberti, Gary A.] Univ Notre Dame, Dept Biol Sci, Notre Dame, IN 46556 USA.

A key to genera and notes on biology are provided. Multiple species of most genera are illustrated. Based on its distinct nymphal morphology, Vanduzea laeta nolina Ball is elevated to specific rank as Vanduzea nolina stat. n., and Bajulata, despite the superficial similarity of its adults to those of Vanduzea, is confirmed as warranting generic rank based on its unique nymphal morphology. Colombia is a new country record for Tynelia. C1 [McKamey, Stuart H.] ARS, USDA, Systemat Entomol Lab, Smithsonian Inst, Washington, DC 20560 USA.

Apples are the second most commonly consumed fruit in the United States; however, no studies have examined the impact of apple consumption on nutrient intake and adequacy in children's diets. Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the association between apple (various forms) consumption with nutrient intake and nutrient adequacy in a nationally representative sample of children. Design: Participants were children aged 2-18 years (n = 13,339), from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2010. Least square means of total energy and nutrient intake, and the percentage of the population below the estimated average requirement (EAR) or above the adequate intake (AI) among apple consumers and non-consumers were examined. Results: Consumers of total apple products had higher (p<0.01) total intakes of fiber, magnesium, and potassium and lower intakes of total fat, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acid, and sodium than non-consumers. Apple consumers had higher (p<0.01) total sugar intake, but lower intake of added sugars compared to non-consumers. A lower (p<0.01) percentage of apple consumers were below the EAR for 13 of the 16 nutrients studied. Apple consumers had approximately a 10 percentage unit difference below the EAR for calcium and magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E, than non-consumers. The percentage above the AI for fiber was significantly (p<0.0001) higher among total apple consumers (6.24 +/- 0.45 g) compared to non-consumers (0.57 +/- 0.07 g). The results were similar for individual apple products (i.e. apple juice, applesauce, and whole apples). Conclusion: Consumption of any forms of apples provided valuable nutrients in the diets of children.

In contrast, unilinear transmission leads to simpler network structures (trees). The genetic exchange in multilinear transmission is further influenced by migration, incubation, mixing and so on. The task we address in the paper is to tease apart subtle admixtures from the usual interrelationships of related populations. We present a combinatorial approach based on persistence in topology to detect admixture in populations. We show, based on controlled simulations, that topological characteristics have the potential for detecting subtle admixture in related populations. We then apply the technique successfully to a set of avocado germplasm data indicating that the approach has the potential for novel characterizations of relatedness in populations. We believe that this approach also has the potential for not only detecting but also discriminating ancient from recent admixture.

The increment of H2SO4 concentration resulted in decreased water holding capacity that ultimately enhanced the oil binding capacity due to the partial removal of starch, protein and hemicelluloses. The starch and hemicelluloses were hydrolyzed exponentially by sequential increments of H2SO4 while protein was mainly dissolved by KOH for all samples. Moreover, higher H2SO4 concentration improved the porosity and crystallinity that led to higher thermal stability of the fiber as evident from XRD and TGA analysis. Furthermore, decreased monosaccharide linkages and increases of porosity with H2SO4 regimes were confirmed by FT-IR and SEM. The change in composition and microstructure of insoluble rice bran fiber (IRBF) induced significant physicochemical changes that might be suitable for their application in the food industry as an anti-diabetic and cholesterol lowering functional ingredient.

However, private investment in these technologies is driven primarily by financial performance, which is often unknown for new technologies with limited industrial deployment. In this paper, we use shift-level production data collected during a 25-day field study to characterize the conversion rate and system productivity and costs for a commercially available pyrolysis system co-located at a sawmill, and then evaluate the net present value (NPV) of the operation in light of a cost structure that is realistic for the industry. Baseline costs on a feedstock throughput basis were estimated as $16.41 t(-1) for feedstock preparation, $ 308.14 t(-1) for conversion, and $ 65.99 t(-1) for biochar bagging. The NPV estimated for the worst-case scenario of observed productivity and conversion rate was -$536,031 for a 10-year project period, while the best case scenario generated an NPV of $467,353. In general, NPV is highly sensitive to labor costs and biochar price, and less sensitive to fuel cost and interest rate. Results also show clear opportunities for technical and operational improvements that are expected to increase the financial viability of this system.

Current protocols provide an average retention value but no estimate of uncertainty. Here we describe a statistical method for calculating uncertainty estimates using the standard sampling regime with minimal additional chemical analysis. This tool can be used by wood treaters to generate lower prediction intervals that with a certain level of confidence give lower bounds on preservative retention estimates for a future analysis (e.g., by a customer) indicating whether the treated wood charge would result in a below-target retention value.

TI FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF CITES-PROTECTED DALBERGIA TIMBER FROM THE AMERICAS SO IAWA JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Wood identification; illegal logging; DART; TOFMS ID FLIGHT MASS-SPECTROMETRY; REAL-TIME; WOOD IDENTIFICATION; ANATOMY; ENFORCEMENT; TRADE; NIGRA AB Species identification of logs, planks, and veneers is difficult because they lack the traditional descriptors such as leaves and flowers. An additional challenge is that many transnational shipments have unreliable geographic provenance. Therefore, frequently the lowest taxonomic determination is genus, which allows unscrupulous importers to evade the endangered species laws. In this study we explore whether analysis of wood using a Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (TOFMS) can assist in making unequivocal species determinations of Dalbergia. DART TOFMS spectra were collected from the heartwood of eight species of Dalbergia and six other look-alike species. In all, fourteen species comprising of 318 specimens were analyzed and the species chemical profiles were examined by statistical analysis. Dalbergia nigra (CITES Appendix I) was differentiated from D. spruceana; D. stevensonii (Appendix II) was distinguished from D. tucurensis (Appendix III), and all the look-alike timbers could be readily distinguished. Surprisingly, D. retusa (Appendix III) could not be differentiated from D. granadillo, and we postulate that they are synonymous. We conclude that DART TOFMS spectra are useful in making species identifications of American Dalbergia species, and could be a valuable tool for the traditional wood anatomist.

TI Germination response of Apocynum venetum seeds to temperature and water potential SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED BOTANY AND FOOD QUALITY LA English DT Article ID HYDROTHERMAL TIME MODEL; THERMAL TIME; DORMANCY; THERMOINHIBITION; PRODUCTIVITY; EXPLAINS; CHINA; RATES; SOIL AB Apocynum venetum (commonly known as luobuma or rafuma) is a shrub that is native to Eurasia. It is economically important for sand fixation, forage production, honey production, and for the production of medicine, fiber and fuel. Rapid and uniform seed germination is critical for successful crop establishment and vegetation restoration. The purpose of this study was to determine the germination responses of A. venetum seeds to temperature and water availability using hydrotime, thermal time and hydrothermal model analysis. Seed germination was relatively high for A. venetum from 25 degrees C to 30 degrees C. The base (T-b), optimum (T-o) and ceiling temperatures (T-c(50)) of A. venetum seed germination were 16.6, 27.0 and 45.9 degrees C, respectively. Values of base water potential (Psi(b)(g)) shifted to zero with increasing temperature, which was reflected in the greater effect of low Psi on germination for temperatures above 30 degrees C. Hydrotime analysis suggested that T-b may not be independent of Psi, and Psi(b)(g) may change as a function of temperature at temperatures below 30 degrees C. The interaction effects of Psi and temperature reduced the ability of the hydrothermal time model to predict germination performance across temperature and Psi conditions.

The association of host grass and endophyte is known to influence herbivore behavior and host plant competition for resources. Establishing legumes into existing tall fescue sods is a desirable means to acquire nitrogen and enhance the nutritive value of forage for livestock production. Competition from existing tall fescue typically must be controlled to ensure interseeding success. We used a soil-on-agar method to determine if soil from intact, living (L), or an herbicide killed (K) tall fescue sward influenced germination and seedling growth of three cultivars of tall fescue (E+, MaxQ, and E-) or legumes (alfalfa, red clover, and white clover). After 30 days, seedlings were larger and present in greater numbers when grown in L soil rather than K soil. Root growth of legumes (especially white clover) and tall fescue (especially MaxQ) were not as vigorous in K soil as L soil. While shoot biomass was similar for all cultivars of tall fescue in L soil, MaxQ produced less herbage when grown in K soil. Our data suggest establishing legumes or fescue cultivars may not be improved by first killing the existing fescue sod and seedling performance can exhibit significant interseasonal variation, related only to soil conditions.

TI MULTISPECTRAL FLUORESCENCE IMAGING TECHNIQUE FOR DISCRIMINATION OF CUCUMBER SEED VIABILITY SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Cucumber seed; Fluorescence; Germination; Hyperspectral imaging; Quality AB In this study, we developed a nondestructive method for discriminating viable cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seeds based on hyperspectral fluorescence imaging. The fluorescence spectra of cucumber seeds in the 425-700 nm range were extracted from hyperspectral fluorescence images obtained using 365 nm ultraviolet excitation. Four kinds of algorithms, using single-waveband images or multi-waveband images, were developed to discriminate viable and nonviable seeds. The optimal wavebands for each algorithm to use were determined using correlation analysis. The single-waveband image (SWI) algorithm based on images at 684 nm yielded discrimination accuracies of 99.0% and 97.0% for viable seeds and nonviable seeds, respectively. The discrimination accuracies of the algorithms based on the subtraction image (S621-425), the ratio image (R-602/530), and the ratio-subtraction image (R520-698/602-698) were 100% and 99.0% for viable and non-viable seeds, respectively. The results demonstrate that hyperspectral fluorescence imaging has potential for quality sorting of cucumber seeds based on viability.

TI DYNAMICS OF WATER DROPLET IMPACT AND SPREAD ON SOYBEAN LEAVES SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Droplet dispersion; Droplet rebound; High-speed image; Soybean; Spray retention ID IMPROVE SPRAY DEPOSITION; LEAF SURFACES; CANOPY OPENER; RETENTION; EVAPORATION; COVERAGE; SYSTEM; MODELS; DRIFT; AREA AB Soybeans are often sprayed to prevent significant yield loss from damage by insect pests and plant diseases. Understanding interactions of spray droplet reactions on soybean plant surfaces can lead to development of improved application strategies to enhance efficacy of pesticides. In this research, dynamics of impact and spread of water droplets of 185 to 693 mu m at 1.85 to 6.4 m s(-1) impact speeds and 28 degrees to 75 degrees impact angles on two soybean leaf surface orientations (horizontal and 30 degrees inclination) were investigated with two high-speed digital video cameras and a mono-sized droplet generator under laboratory-controlled conditions. Within the test ranges of the variables, droplet rebound was not observed after impact on leaf surfaces, while droplets larger than 300 mu m were observed to slide on the 30 degrees inclined surface. Droplet spread factors increased with droplet diameters and impact speeds but decreased with impact angles. Isoline distributions of droplet spread factors on a horizontal surface were established to provide visual observations for estimating spray coverage areas with different droplet impact speeds and impact angles. At similar impact speeds and angles, droplet spread factors on inclined leaf surfaces were greater than those on horizontal surfaces. These discoveries elucidate that careful selection of controllable spray parameters to maximize droplet spread area and retention on soybean plants is possible for efficient soybean spray applications with minimal amounts of spray mixtures.

TI DETERMINATION OF FOLIAR UPTAKE OF WATER DROPLETS ON WAXY LEAVES IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Cuticle; Instrumentation; Penetration; Spray; Systemic pesticide; Water absorption ID SWEET CHERRY FRUIT; PLANT CUTICLES; CUTICULAR PENETRATION; LEAF MOVEMENTS; WETTED AREA; SURFACTANT; EVAPORATION; ADJUVANTS; MODEL; ABSORPTION AB More definitive techniques for determination of plant cuticle permeability are required to select proper doses of active ingredients and spray additives to improve pesticide application efficacy. A controlled environmental system with 100% relative humidity was developed for direct measurements of foliar uptake rates of sessile water droplets at various locations on waxy leaf surfaces during two diurnal periods between 10:30 and 13:00 (noon) and between 16:00 and 19:00 (evening) at ambient temperatures of 15 degrees C and 20 degrees C. Sessile droplets of 340 and 540 mu m diameter were produced with a single-droplet generator. Stomatal densities and osmotic pressures on leaves were also measured with a cold field emission scanning electronic microscope (CFESEM) and a vapor pressure osmometer, respectively. At 100% relative humidity inside the environmental chamber, droplets remained unchanged after they were deposited on a non-permeable glass, but they penetrated leaf tissues after they were deposited on leaves. Foliar uptake time varied with droplet size, droplet deposition location on leaves, and diurnal period, but varied little with osmotic pressure and stomatal density. An average uptake rate of 540 mu m diameter droplets on a leaf surface at 20 degrees C and 100% relative humidity was 0.401 x 10(-3) +/- 0.063 x 10(-3) mu L s(-1), which was 2.1 times the average uptake rate of 340 mu m diameter droplets. The incorporation of the controlled environmental system with 100% relative humidity and the sessile droplet generator to measure foliar uptake rates of water droplets would provide a unique approach to elucidate the foliar uptake mechanism of spray droplets for efficient and effective control of target pests on specific plants.

TI A NEW MODEL FOR PHOSPHORUS LOSS IN RUNOFF FROM OUTDOOR CATTLE LOTS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Cattle lots; Model; Phosphorus; Runoff ID LOSS QUANTIFICATION TOOL; SURFACE-APPLIED MANURES; FEEDLOT RUNOFF; DAIRY-CATTLE; WATER-QUALITY; DISSOLVED PHOSPHORUS; ETHIOPIAN HIGHLANDS; DISTILLERS GRAINS; CONTROL-SYSTEMS; POLLUTION AB Phosphorus (P) loss from agriculture can compromise the quality of receiving water bodies. For cattle farms, P can be lost from cropland, pastures, and outdoor animal lots. We developed a new model that predicts annual runoff, total solids loss, and total and dissolved P loss from cattle lots. The model requires input for annual precipitation, lot surface type, soil test P for earthen lots, cattle number and type, frequency of cleaning, and percent vegetative cover. The model estimates annual runoff using a precipitation dataset and curve number, annual solids loss based on annual runoff, annual particulate P loss based on solid loss and manure and soil P content, and annual dissolved P loss for each runoff event. Testing showed that the model reliably estimated runoff, solids loss, and P loss from a wide variety of lots and was more accurate than other, currently used models. The new model provides a valuable tool for developing whole-farm estimates of P loss and more effectively targeting P loss mitigation practices. C1 [Vadas, P.

TI STORED GRAIN PACK FACTORS FOR WHEAT: COMPARISON OF THREE METHODS TO FIELD MEASUREMENTS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Commercial bin measurement; Steel and concrete bins; Stored grain pack factor; Wheat; WPACKING AB Storing grain in bulk storage units results in grain packing from overbearing pressure, which increases grain bulk density and storage unit capacity. This study compared pack factors of hard red winter (HRW) wheat in vertical storage bins using different methods: the existing packing model (WPACKING), the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) method, and the USDA Farm Service Agency Warehouse Licensing and Examination Division (FSA-W) method. Grain bins containing HRW wheat were measured in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Packing was measured in corrugated steel bins and reinforced concrete bins with diameters ranging from 4.6 to 31.9 m (15.0 to 104.6 ft) and equivalent level grain heights ranging from 4.1 to 41.6 m (13.4 to 136.6 ft). The predicted masses of compacted stored wheat based on WPACKING, RMA, and FSA-W were compared to the reported mass from scale tickets. Pack factors predicted by WPACKING ranged from 0.929 to 1.073 for steel bins and from 0.986 to 1.077 for concrete bins. Pack factors predicted by the RMA method ranged from 0.991 to 1.157 for steel bins and from 0.993 to 1.099 for concrete bins. Pack factors predicted by the FSA-W method ranged from 0.985 to 1.126 for steel bins and from 1.012 to 1.101 for concrete bins. The average absolute and median differences between the WPACKING-predicted mass and reported mass were 1.64% and -1.26%, respectively, for corrugated steel bins and 3.75% and 2.16%, respectively, for concrete bins. In most cases, WPACKING underpredicted the mass in corrugated steel bins and overpredicted the mass in concrete bins. Comparison of the RMA-predicted mass and reported mass showed an average absolute difference of 4.41% with a median difference of 1.91% for HRW wheat in steel bins and an average absolute difference of 3.25% with a median difference of 1.03% for concrete bins. For the FSA-W-predicted mass versus reported mass, the average absolute and median differences were 3.40% and 3.86%, respectively, for steel bins and 4.34% and 3.50%, respectively, for concrete bins. Most of the mass values were overpredicted by both the RMA and FSA-W methods. Some of the large differences observed for concrete bins can be attributed to the unique geometry of these bins and the difficulty in describing these bin shapes mathematically. Overall, compared to the reported mass, WPACKING predicted the mass of grain in the bins with less error than the current RMA and FSA-W methods. Some of the differences may be because the RMA and FSA-W methods do not include the effects of grain moisture content, bin wall type, and grain height on pack factors. C1 [Boac, J.

TI Broadleaf weed control in irrigated pasture containing Trifolium repens SO CROP & PASTURE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID APPLE SOLANUM-VIARUM; WHITE CLOVER; HERBICIDE COMBINATIONS; IMPACT; ESTABLISHMENT; RYEGRASS; NITROGEN; LOSSES; YIELD AB Increasing lease and purchase costs for irrigated pasture are encouraging producers to use herbicides to control broadleaf weeds and maximise forage production on their current land base, as opposed to seeking out additional pastureland. There are two challenges to using herbicides to control broadleaf weeds in irrigated pasture. One challenge is that producers often encounter weed species for which herbicide information is limited or non-existent. Another challenge is that broadleaf herbicides tend to damage desirable legumes. We evaluated the efficacy of several broadleaf herbicide options for Symphyotrichum divaricatum, a species not previously the subject of research in irrigated pasture. Additionally, we monitored herbicide impacts on desirable legumes, principally Trifolium repens. We also evaluated control of Convolvulus arvensis and Plantago lanceolata, subjects of considerable herbicide research. Our goal was to identify herbicide options that controlled all three weeds while causing the least damage to legumes. Several rates and combinations of dicamba, diflufenzopyr, triclopyr, MCPA, and 2,4-D provided statistically indistinguishable control of C. arvensis and P. lanceolata, with point estimates suggesting 66-88% control in 2011 and 43-86% control in 2012. 2,4-D+triclopyr appeared to provide the best control of P. lanceolata and C. arvensis, with point estimates for high rates indicating nearly 100% control in both years. However, this combination was particularly damaging to legumes. Based on these findings, we recommend 2,4-D+triclopyr where desirable legumes are absent. Where desirable legumes are present, we recommend 2,4-D alone. Whereas 2,4-D alone appeared not to perform as well as 2,4-D+triclopyr at controlling S. divaricatum in 2012, it was less damaging to desirable legumes.

TI CHIP Knockdown Reduced Heat Shock Response and Protein Quality Control Capacity in Lens Epithelial Cells SO CURRENT MOLECULAR MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE CHIP; crystallin; heat shock proteins; lens epithelial cell; stress; ubiquitin proteasome pathway ID UBIQUITIN-PROTEASOME PATHWAY; MOLECULAR CHAPERONES; ALPHA-SYNUCLEIN; HSP70-INTERACTING PROTEIN; TRIAGE DECISIONS; OXIDATIVE STRESS; PARKINSONS-DISEASE; ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; CARBOXYL-TERMINUS; DEGRADATION AB Protein quality control (PQC) systems, including molecular chaperones and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP), plays an important role in maintaining intracellular protein homeostasis. Carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) links the chaperone and UPPs, thus contributing to the repair or removal of damaged proteins. Over-expression of CHIP had previously been used to protect cells from environmental stress. In order to gain a more physiologic mechanism of the advantage conferred by CHIP, we induced a CHIP knockdown and monitored the ability of cells to cope with environmental stress. To knockdown CHIP, the human lens epithelial cell line HLE B3 was transfected with lentiviral particles that encode a CHIP short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or negative control lentiviral particles. Stable CHIP-knock down cells (KD) and negative control cells (NC) were selected with puromycin. After exposure to heat shock stress, there was no change observed in the expression of Hsp90. In contrast, Hsp70 levels increased significantly in NC cells but less so in KD cells. Hsp27 levels also increased after heat shock, but only in NC cells. Protein ubiquitination was reduced when CHIP was knocked down. CHIP knockdown reduced the ability to clear aggregation proteins. When same levels of aggregation-prone RFP-mutant crystallin fusion protein, RFP/V76D-gamma D, was expressed, there was similar to 9fold more aggregates in KD cells as compared to that observed in NC cells. Furthermore, KD cells were more sensitive to toxicity of amino acid analog canavanine as compared to NC cells. Together, these data indicate that CHIP is required for PQC and that CHIP knockdown diminished cellular PQC capacity in lens cells.

One means to reduce the expenditures and damages associated with these wildfires is through fire prevention activities, which can include burn permits, public service programs or announcements, outreach efforts to schools, youth groups and equipment operators, and law enforcement. Using data from 17 US Bureau of Indian Affairs tribal units, we modelled the effect of prevention programs and law enforcement on the number of human-caused ignitions. We also included weather and lagged burned area in our estimation of fixed-effects count models. The results show that prevention activities led to significant reductions in wildfires caused by escaped campfires, juveniles, fire-use (e.g. escaped debris burns) and equipment. Increased law enforcement resulted in fewer incendiary- and equipment-caused wildfires. Using average suppression expenditures by wildfire and our estimate of avoided wildfires per additional year of prevention, we estimate partial benefit-cost ratios of greater than 4.5 for all Bureau of Indian Affairs regions for the continuation of the prevention program.

Dormant season grazing may be a treatment to reduce fuels in rangeland, but its effects have not been evaluated. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of dormant season grazing (winter grazing in this ecosystem) by cattle on fuel characteristics in sagebrush (Artemisia L.) communities at five sites in south-eastern Oregon. Winter grazing reduced herbaceous fuel cover, continuity, height and biomass without increasing exotic annual grass biomass or reducing bunchgrass basal area or production. Fuel moisture in winter-grazed areas was high enough that burning was unlikely until late August; in contrast, fuels in ungrazed areas were dry enough to burn in late June. Fuel biomass on perennial bunchgrasses was decreased by 60% with winter grazing, which may reduce the potential for fire-induced mortality. The cumulative effect of winter grazing from altering multiple fuel characteristics may reduce the likelihood of fire and the potential severity in sagebrush communities with an understorey dominated by herbaceous perennials. Dormant season grazing has the potential to reduce wildfire suppression expenditures in many rangelands where herbaceous fuels are an issue; however, increasing woody vegetation and extreme fire weather may limit its influence.

Climate change impacts were incorporated into regional economic models using weather projections to develop crop response functions from crop models. These projections are based on quantitative projections of precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and temperature trends driven by simulations from the latest IPCC AR4 climate models (Community Climate System Model (CCSM), Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), UK Met Office Hadley Model (HadCM3), and Parallel Climate Model (PCM)) under two specific emissions scenarios, A1B (mid-range) and A1FI (higher). Results indicated that for both the emission scenarios, saturated thickness, water use per cropland acre, and irrigated acreage declined under climatic predictions by all four models. At the end of the 90 year horizon, the A1B scenario resulted in a decline in average net income per acre as predicted by the CCSM and HadCM3 models, while the GFDL and PCM models predicted an increase in average net income per acre. Under the A1FI scenario, the CCSM, GFDL, and PCM model projections led to increased average net income per acre, while climate projections under the HadCM3 model indicated a decline in average net income per acre at the end of the 90 year horizon.

The purpose of this study was to model periods when a preventive control could be applied in advance of significant increases in leaf blight intensity (LBI) in response to a daily accumulated risk value indicating conducive conditions of temperature (18 or more hours between 20 and 30 degrees C when maximum temperature is less than 35 degrees C), leaf wetness (16 or more hours), and/or rainfall (greater than 6.7 mm above the maximum daily irrigation). Analysis used weather measurements taken every 30 minutes from 11 site-year datasets from 2006 to 2011, and weekly or biweekly LBI assessments. Six developmental site-year datasets were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve procedures to evaluate models. Only a single model predicted true positives and negatives significantly greater than a 50:50 probability. Subsequently, five site-year validation datasets were evaluated. Similar results were obtained from both the developmental and validation datasets, which produced ROC areas of 0.7715 (P = 0.0120) and 0.8393 (P = 0.0034), respectively. The practical application of weather-based forecasting for management of web blight in nurseries is discussed. C1 USDA ARS, Thad Cochran Southern Hort Lab, Poplarville, MS 39470 USA.

There is little information on evaluating inoculation techniques or evaluating soybean germplasm for resistance. The objectives of this study were to develop a reliable inoculation technique for evaluating soybean for resistance to Colletotrichum truncatum and to evaluate soybean genotypes for resistance. Inoculated plants incubated in a dew chamber for 48 or 72 h had higher (P = 0.05) area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) values than when incubated for 24 h. Three experiments evaluated soybean genotypes for resistance to C. truncatum. In the first experiment using 15 soybean genotypes, 'Mandarin' had lower (P = 0.05) AUDPC values than all the other genotypes except for 'Mandarin 507', 'Mandarin (Ottawa)', and 'Boone'. In the second experiment using 28 soybean genotypes, Mandarin 507 had lower (P = 0.05) AUDPC values compared with all other soybean genotypes except 'Early White Eyebrow', 'Mandarin Yowa', Boone, and 'Manchuria'. In the third experiment, Mandarin 507 had lower (P = 0.05) AUDPC values compared with 23 other soybean genotypes except 'Spry', Mandarin, and 'Iroquois'. Plants of Mandarin 507 and 'Williams 82' were inoculated at the vegetative and reproductive growth stages; Mandarin 507 had lower (P = 0.05) AUDPC values compared with Williams 82 for both growth stages evaluated, and Mandarin 507 had less (P = 0.05) pod area covered by lesions compared with the pods of Williams 82. This study provided a descriptive method to inoculate soybean plants with C. truncatum and identified soybean genotypes with resistance to anthracnose.

TI Improved Real-Time PCR Diagnosis of Citrus Stubborn Disease by Targeting Prophage Genes of Spiroplasma citri SO PLANT DISEASE LA English DT Article ID CORN STUNT SPIROPLASMA; GENOME; STRAINS; HOSTS AB Spiroplasma citri is a phloem-limited bacterium causing citrus stubborn disease (CSD). Isolation and culturing of S. citri is technically demanding and time consuming. S. citri is typically low in titer and unevenly distributed in citrus, making reliable detection challenging. The current preferred detection method is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays with primers developed from sequences of S. citri housekeeping genes. Recent genome sequencing of S. citri revealed that the bacterium harbors multiple copies of prophage genes. Therefore, targeting multicopy prophage genes was hypothesized to improve sensitivity of PCR detection. Two primer sets, Php-orf1 and Php-orf3, were developed from conserved prophage sequences in the S. citri genome. These primer sets were used to evaluate detection sensitivity in SYBR Green-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays with 18 S. citri in cultures isolated from different hosts and locations. Prophage primer set Php-orf1 increased detection sensitivity by 4.91 and 3.65 cycle threshold (Cq) units compared with housekeeping gene primers for spiralin and P58 putative adhesin gene, respectively. Detection was slightly less sensitive for the Php-orf3 primer set at 3.02 and 1.76 Cq units, respectively, over the same housekeeping gene primers. The prophage primer sets were validated for qPCR detection with field samples from three citrus orchards in California's San Joaquin Valley collected from 2007 to 2013. The data showed that S. citri prophage sequences improved sensitivity for qPCR detection of S. citri-infected trees at least 10-fold and reduced the number of false-negative results. No false-positive samples were detected with any of the primer sets. The enhanced sensitivity resulted from the higher copy number of prophage genes in the S. citri genome and, thus, improved CSD diagnosis from field samples.

TI Optimal ranking regime analysis of TreeFlow dendrohydrological reconstructions SO CLIMATE OF THE PAST LA English DT Article ID WESTERN UNITED-STATES; PACIFIC DECADAL OSCILLATION; LONG-TERM DROUGHT; US GREAT-PLAINS; NORTH-AMERICAN; CLIMATE VARIABILITY; RIVER FLOW; STREAMFLOW RECONSTRUCTION; PRECIPITATION; 20TH-CENTURY AB The optimal ranking regime (ORR) method was used to identify 6-100-year time windows containing significant ranking sequences in 55 western US streamflow reconstructions, and reconstructions of the level of the Great Salt Lake and San Francisco Bay salinity during 1500-2007. The method's ability to identify optimally significant and non-overlapping runs of low-and high-rankings allows it to reexpress a reconstruction time series as a simplified sequence of regime segments marking intra-to multi-decadal (IMD) periods of low or high streamflow, lake level, and salinity. Those ORR sequences, referred to here as Z-lines, can be plotted to identify consistent regime patterns in the analysis of numerous reconstructions. The Z-lines for the 57 reconstructions evaluated here show a common pattern of IMD cycles of drought and pluvial periods during the late 16th and 17th centuries, a relatively dormant period during the 18th century, and the reappearance of alternating dry and wet IMD periods during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Although this pattern suggests the possibility of similarly active and inactive oceanic modes in the North Pacific and North Atlantic, such centennial-scale patterns are not evident in the ORR analyses of reconstructed Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), El Nino-Southern Oscillation, and North Atlantic sea-surface temperature variation. However, given the inconsistency in the analyses of four PDO reconstructions, the possible role of centennial-scale oceanic mechanisms is uncertain. In future research the ORR method might be applied to climate reconstructions around the Pacific Basin to try to resolve this uncertainty.

Satellite image-derived map products are produced using calibrations of the relativized differenced normalized burn ratio (RdNBR) to the Composite Burn Index (CBI), percent change in tree basal area (BA), and percent change in canopy cover (CC). Calibrations for extended assessments (EA) based upon one-year post-fire images have previously been published. Given that RdNBR is sensitive to ash cover, which declines with time since fire, RdNBR values that represent total mortality can be different immediately post fire compared with one year post fire. Therefore, new calibrations are required for IAs. In this manuscript, we describe how we modified the EA calibrations to be used for IAs using an adjustment factor to account for changes in ash cover computed through regression of IA and EA Rd-NBR values. We evaluate whether the accuracy of IA and EA maps are significantly different using ground measurements of live and dead trees, and CBI taken one year post fire in 11 fires in the Sierra Nevada and northwestern California. We compare differences between error matrices using Z-tests of Kappa statistics and differences between mean plot values in mapped categories using Generalized Linear Models (GLM). We also investigate whether map accuracy is dependent upon plot distance from boundaries delineating mapped categories. The IAs and EAs produced similarly accurate broad-scale estimates of tree mortality. Between IAs and EAs of each severity metric, the Kappa statistics of error matrices were not significantly different (P > 0.674) nor were mean plot values within mapped categories (P > 0.077). Plots <30 m (one Landsat pixel) distance from mapped polygon boundaries were less accurate than plots >= 30 m inside mapped polygons (P < 0.001). As land managers concentrate most post-fire management actions where tree mortality is high, it is desirable for map accuracy of severely burned areas to be high. Plots that were >= 30 m inside polygons depicting >= 75 % or >= 90 % BA mortality were correctly classified (producer's accuracy) >92.3 % of the time, regardless of IA or EA.

TI VEGETATION RESPONSE TO BURN SEVERITY, NATIVE GRASS SEEDING, AND SALVAGE LOGGING SO FIRE ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE fire effects; mixed conifer forests; plant succession; post-fire rehabilitation; salvage logging ID YELLOWSTONE-NATIONAL-PARK; PLANT-SPECIES-DIVERSITY; WESTERN UNITED-STATES; ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES; FIRE SEVERITY; FOREST; US; COMMUNITIES; IMPACT; HETEROGENEITY AB As the size and extent of wildfires has increased in recent decades, so has the cost and extent of post-fire management, including seeding and salvage logging. However, we know little about how burn severity, salvage logging, and post-fire seeding interact to influence vegetation recovery long-term. We sampled understory plant species richness, diversity, and canopy cover one to six years post fire (2006 to 2009, and 2011) on 72 permanent plots selected in a stratified random sample to define post-fire vegetation response to burn severity, post-fire seeding with native grasses, and salvage logging on the 2005 School Fire in eastern Washington. Understory vegetation responded rapidly post fire due, in part, to ample low intensity rainfall events in the first post-fire growing season. Vegetation was more diverse with greater plant species richness and diversity (Shannon-Wiener index) in low and moderate burn severity plots in 2006 (species richness 18; diversity 2.3) compared to high burn severity plots (species richness 10; diversity 1.8), with species richness on the high severity plots reaching 19 in the sixth post-fire year, similar to the initial values on the low and moderate burn severity plots. Plants that commonly resprout from rhizomes, bulbs, and other surviving belowground sources were abundant post fire, while those establishing from off-site seed sources, including non-native species, were present but not abundant. Plots seeded with native grass post fire and not salvage logged had the highest canopy cover of graminoid species: more than 30 % six years after the fire (in 2011), with low forb (15 %) and shrub (1 %) canopy cover and species richness. For comparison, high severity plots that were not seeded and not salvage logged had 3 % graminoid cover, 14 % forb cover, and 26 % shrub cover. Plots that had been salvage logged from one to three years after the fire produced less canopy cover of shrubs and forbs, but three times more canopy cover of graminoids on the high burn severity plots by 2011. High severity plots that were salvage logged and not seeded with native grasses had the lowest species richness, diversity, and cover. Very few non-native species were found, regardless of salvage logging and seeding. Rapid post-fire growth dominated by native plants of high diversity suggests that this forest's vegetation and soils are highly resilient to disturbance. Overall, burn severity and post-fire seeding with native grasses were more influential than salvage logging on understory plant abundance one to six years after fire.

Recent changes in federal fire policy implementation guidance and fire science information suggest the need for substantial changes in federal fire management plans of the United States. Federal land management agencies are also undergoing land management planning efforts that will initiate revision of fire management plans across the country. Using the southern Sierra Nevada as a case study, we briefly describe the underlying framework of fire management plans, assess their consistency with guiding principles based on current science information and federal policy guidance, and provide recommendations for the development of future fire management plans. Based on our review, we recommend that future fire management plans be: (1) consistent and compatible, (2) collaborative, (3) clear and comprehensive, (4) spatially and temporally scalable, (5) informed by the best available science, and (6) flexible and adaptive. In addition, we identify and describe several strategic guides or "tools" that can enhance these core principles and benefit future fire management plans in the following areas: planning and prioritization, science integration, climate change adaptation, partnerships, monitoring, education and communication, and applied fire management. These principles and tools are essential to successfully realize fire management goals and objectives in a rapidly changing world.

However, concern has been voiced about burning within or near riparian areas because of the potential effect on nutrient release and, ultimately, lake water quality. Our objective was to quantify the effects of pile burning on soil physical and chemical properties and resulting near-stream surface and subsurface water chemistry. Twenty-seven hand-built piles of three contrasting fuelbed types (large wood, mixed-diameter slash, small-diameter slash) were burned. Burn sites were located throughout the basin and included both granitic and volcanic parent materials as well as glacial out-wash. We suspected that post-fire changes in soil physical and chemical properties would ensue as maximum soil surface temperatures averaged 400 degrees C for all pile types and exceeded 200 degrees C for >30 h beneath large-wood piles. Post-fire soil water repellency was greatest for large-wood piles, yet increased for all pile types when soil moisture content fell below a threshold of 7 % to 10 % during the dry summer season. Soil bulk density increased moderately whereas water infiltration rates decreased more than fourfold after burning of large-wood piles and mixed-slash piles. Surface runoff and subsurface flow concentrations of nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate were measured downslope from the piles at 6 mo and 18 mo after burning. Mean NO3, ortho-PO4, and SO4 concentrations were low (<10 mg L-1) at both sampling dates and typically declined downslope from the pile edge. The results showed that pile burning. regardless of fuel composition. had a limited effect on downslope water quality despite associated changes in soil physicochemical properties.

At concentrations of 0.1% and 0.5%, RHSE was shown to reduce the cellular lipid content in MDI-induced 3T3-L1 cells by about 72% and 88%, respectively, compared to that in control cells without RHSE, indicating a strong antiadipogenic effect. This result was supported by the finding that the expression of the adipocyte differentiation marker adiponectin was suppressed. MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays showed that RHSE doses of up to 0.5% (v/v) were not cytotoxic to the 3T3-L1 cells. RHSE activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) through raising the phosphorylated ratio during the early phase of cell differentiation, and western blot analysis showed that it dose-dependently inhibited the expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR gamma), CCAAT-enhancer binding protein (C/EBP alpha), and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) at the late stage of differentiation. The antiadipogenic properties of RHSE were confirmed in vivo using experimental obese mice on a high-fat diet. Dietary supplementations of 0.5% and 1% RHSE resulted in a reduction at the end of the 7-week feeding study of body weight gain of 66.9% and 72.5%, respectively, a reduction of epididymal white adipose tissue weight by up to 87.9%, restoration of elevated total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in plasma and liver to those observed in the ND-fed mice, normalization of distorted serum leptin and adiponectin levels, and restoration of liver weight and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase/glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GOT/GPT) enzymes, blood urea, and serum creatinine to the normal control levels observed in the ND-fed mice. As was found in the 3T3-L1 cells, RHSE up-regulated AMPK phosphorylation and down-regulated PPAR., C/EBPa and SREBP-1c protein expression in the epididymal white adipose tissues. These results indicate that RHSE inhibits the AMPK signaling pathway in mice and might serve as an antiobesity multifunctional food additive.

Extrusion treatment promoted an increase in galactopinitol, ciceritol, raffinose, stachyose and total alpha-galactoside content, in most lentil flours. As alpha-galactosides may act as prebiotics, they could convey beneficial effects to human and monogastric animals. Conversely, extrusion significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the inositol hexaphosphate content to less phosphorylated phytates (inositol pentaphosphate and inositol tetraphosphate), which provide health effects. The gluten-free formulation (control formulation #3) presented the highest significant (p < 0.05) drop in the inositol hexaphosphate of 14.7-fold decrease, but had a large increase in inositol pentaphosphate, due to extrusion processing. These two results are desirable in the finished product. Extrusion also caused a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the trypsin content and completely inactivated lectin, in all processed samples.

Dietary polyphenols such as resveratrol possess anticancer properties and therefore have chemopreventive and therapeutic potential. Resveratrol has pleiotropic effects, exerting its biological activity through multiple pathways and targets, including those associated with cancer. Numerous studies have demonstrated the anticancer effects of resveratrol and, to a lesser extent, its analogs, in tissue culture, while in vivo observations are limited. Here, we provide a concise summary of our results on epigenetic mechanisms of resveratrol and analogs mediated through regulation of chromatin modifier metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) and microRNAs (miRNAs), and highlight the anticancer effects of these compounds in preclinical models of prostate cancer. We suggest that the identified stilbene responsive mechanism-based biomarkers, such as MTA1 and oncogenic miRNAs, may become indicative of treatment efficacy in prostate cancer. Resveratrol analogs with better bioavailability, conferring superior pharmacological potencies and greater anticancer effects, may become stronger candidates for clinical development.

TI Soil carbon and nitrogen erosion in forested catchments: implications for erosion-induced terrestrial carbon sequestration SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID CHEMICAL-WEATHERING RATES; ORGANIC-CARBON; SIERRA-NEVADA; UNITED-STATES; C EROSION; DEPOSITION; CROPLAND; BURIAL; CYCLE; REPLACEMENT AB Lateral movement of organic matter (OM) due to erosion is now considered an important flux term in terrestrial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets, yet most published studies on the role of erosion focus on agricultural or grassland ecosystems. To date, little information is available on the rate and nature of OM eroded from forest ecosystems. We present annual sediment composition and yield, for water years 2005-2011, from eight catchments in the southern part of the Sierra Nevada, California. Sediment was compared to soil at three different landform positions from the source slopes to determine if there is selective transport of organic matter or different mineral particle size classes. Sediment export varied from 0.4 to 177 kg ha(-1), while export of C in sediment was between 0.025 and 4.2 kg C ha(-1) and export of N in sediment was between 0.001 and 0.04 kg N ha(-1). Sediment yield and composition showed high interannual variation. In our study catchments, erosion laterally mobilized OM-rich litter material and topsoil, some of which enters streams owing to the catchment topography where steep slopes border stream channels. Annual lateral sediment export was positively and strongly correlated with stream discharge, while C and N concentrations were both negatively correlated with stream discharge; hence, C : N ratios were not strongly correlated to sediment yield. Our results suggest that stream discharge, more than sediment source, is a primary factor controlling the magnitude of C and N export from upland forest catchments. The OM-rich nature of eroded sediment raises important questions about the fate of the eroded OM. If a large fraction of the soil organic matter (SOM) eroded from forest ecosystems is lost during transport or after deposition, the contribution of forest ecosystems to the erosion-induced C sink is likely to be small (compared to croplands and grass-lands).

Sample preparation procedures and instrument parameters were optimised to obtain sensitive and accurate determination of the toxins. The lowest calibration levels were 50 mu g/kg for T-2 and 300 mu g/kg for HT-2. Quantitative analysis was performed with the use of matrix-matched standards employing the C-13-labelled internal standard for T-2. DART-MS of maize extracts spiked with T-2 gave a linear response over the range of 50-1000 mu g/kg. With the isotope dilution technique, good recoveries (99-110%) and repeatabilities (relative standard deviaiton 7.4-11.6%) were obtained at T-2 spiking levels of 100 and 1000 mu g/kg. Adaptability of the developed method was demonstrated by analysis of T-2 and HT-2 from an oat flour quality control material. The results here further indicate the potential for application of ambient ionisation mass spectrometry to provide accurate, convenient quantitation of mycotoxins from grains.

TI Outcome Evaluation of a Pilot Study Using "Nudges" SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHILD HEALTH AND NUTRITION LA English DT Article DE National School Lunch Program; fruit; vegetables; behavioral economics; environment; school; cafeteria ID VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION; ETHNIC-DIFFERENCES; FRUIT CONSUMPTION; LUNCH FRUIT; SCHOOL; PERCEPTIONS; CHILDRENS; HEALTH AB Background: Every school day, over 31 million U.S. children eat school lunches. Unfortunately, students often do not choose the healthy options in the school cafeteria. This paper describes outcome results of a pilot study using "nudges" to improve elementary school students' fruits and vegetables selections. Methods: A pilot study was conducted from January to May 2012, in six intervention schools and 2 control schools. A behavioral economics-based intervention was conducted using "nudges" or cues from the cafeteria (staff encouragement to select fruit and vegetables, food labels, "Harvest of the Month" posters), school (morning announcement messages, prompts regarding cafeteria food selections), and parents (school newsletter articles, parent listserve messages) to promote students' selection of fruits and vegetables in the school cafeteria. The serving data from the point-of-service machine provided fruits and vegetables served per student per day. Results: There were no significant differences in the number of servings of fruits and vegetables served per student per day, averaged over the study period. Process data revealed low implementation of the intervention components, which may partially explain results. Conclusions: Low implementation of nudges led to non-significant results in this pilot study. However, providing environmental cues are important and warrant further research with full implementation. Starting 2012, the new meal pattern includes two vegetables and a fruit serving for lunch; and two fruit servings for breakfast. Minimal cost interventions should be explored to facilitate successful implementation of new school meal guidelines.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study examining the data from children 2-18 years of age (n=6,090). Intake of nutrients and diet quality were assessed using the 24-hr dietary recall and Healthy Eating Index-2010, respectively. Various consumption levels of 100% FJ were determined. Covariate adjusted linear regression means, and standard errors were determined (p<0.01). Results: Average per capita consumption of 100% FJ consumed was 3.6 fl oz (50 kilocalories; 2.9% energy intake); 30% of children 2-6 years exceeded the recommendation for 100% FJ. Among 100% FJ consumers, the mean amount of 100% FJ consumed was 10.6 fl oz (147 kilocalories; 8.4% energy intake). Intakes of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium and overall diet quality were higher with more 100% FJ consumed; no difference was found in total fiber intake. No trends were seen in weight with increased amounts of 100% FJ consumed. Conclusions: Consumption of 100% FJ should be recommended as a component of a healthy diet.

This knowledge is critical for growers, diagnosticians, extension agents, and others dealing with crops. However, such identifications are linked to bacterial taxonomy, a complicated and changing discipline that depends on methods and information that are often not used by those who are diagnosing field problems. Modern molecular tools for fingerprinting and sequencing allow for pathogen identification in the absence of distinguishing or conveniently tested phenotypic characteristics. These methods are also useful in studying the etiology and epidemiology of phytopathogenic bacteria from epidemics, as was done in numerous studies conducted in California's Salinas Valley. Multilocus and whole-genome sequence analyses are becoming the cornerstones of studies of microbial diversity and bacterial taxonomy. Whole-genome sequence analysis needs to become adequately accessible, automated, and affordable in order to be used routinely for identification and epidemiology. The power of molecular tools in accurately identifying bacterial pathogenesis is therefore of value to the farmer, diagnostician, phytobacteriologist, and taxonomist.

Comparative genomics studies have revealed evolutionary mechanisms, such as hybridization and interchromosomal rearrangements, that have shaped these genomes. Functional analyses of a diverse group of genes encoding virulence factors indicate that successful host xylem colonization relies on specific Verticillium responses to various stresses, including nutrient deficiency and host defense-derived oxidative stress. Regulatory pathways that control responses to changes in nutrient availability also appear to positively control resting structure development. Conversely, resting structure development seems to be repressed by pathways, such as those involving effector secretion, which promote responses to host defenses. The genomics-enabled functional characterization of responses to the challenges presented by the xylem environment, accompanied by identification of novel virulence factors, has rapidly expanded our understanding of niche adaptation in Verticillium species.

Building and maintaining soil health are essential to agricultural sustainability and ecosystem function. Management practices that promote soil health, including the use of crop rotations, cover crops and green manures, organic amendments, and conservation tillage, also have generally positive effects on the management of soilborne diseases through a number of potential mechanisms, including increasing soil microbial biomass, activity, and diversity, resulting in greater biological suppression of pathogens and diseases. However, there also may be particular disease issues associated with some soil health management practices. In this review, research and progress made over the past twenty years regarding soil health, sustainability, and soil health management practices, with an emphasis on their implications for and effects on plant disease and disease management strategies, are summarized.

Long-distance dispersal is a fundamental aspect of epidemic development that influences the timing and extent of outbreaks of cucurbit downy mildew. The dispersal potential of Pseudoperonospora cubensis appears to be limited primarily by sporangia production in source fields and availability of susceptible hosts and less by sporangia survival during transport. Uncertainty remains regarding the role of locally produced inoculum in disease outbreaks, but evidence suggests multiple sources of primary inoculum could be important. Understanding pathogen diversity and population differentiation is a critical aspect of disease management and an active research area. Underpinning advances in our understanding of pathogen biology and disease management has been the research capacity and coordination of stakeholders, scientists, and extension personnel. Concepts and approaches developed in this pathosystem can guide future efforts when responding to incursions of new or reemerging downy mildew pathogens.

Among them, sharka epidemics severely affect prunus trees worldwide. Its causal agent, Plum pox virus (PPV; genus Potyvirus), has been classified as a quarantine pathogen in numerous countries. As a result, various management strategies have been implemented in different regions of the world, depending on the epidemiological context and on the objective (i.e., eradication, suppression, containment, or resilience). These strategies have exploited virus-free planting material, varietal improvement, surveillance and removal of trees in orchards, and statistical models. Variations on these management options lead to contrasted outcomes, from successful eradication to widespread presence of PPV in orchards. Here, we present management strategies in the light of sharka epidemiology to gain insights from this worldwide experience. Although focused on sharka, this review highlights more general levers and promising approaches to optimize disease control in perennial plants.

The first description of Tomato torrado virus, now the type member of the newly established genus Torradovirus within the family Secoviridae, was published in 2007 and was quickly followed by findings of other torradoviruses, initially all on tomato. Their characterization led to the development of tools that allowed recognition of still other torradoviruses, only very recently found on non-tomato crops, which indicates these viruses have a much wider host range and diversity than previously believed. This review describes the characteristics of this newly emerged group of plant viruses. It looks in detail at taxonomic relationships and specific characteristics in their genomes and encoded proteins. Furthermore, it discusses their epidemiology, including host range, semipersistent transmission by whitefly vectors, and impact on diverse cropping systems. C1 [van der Vlugt, Rene A.

Seagrasses are protected by no-net-loss provisions in US federal and state regulations, resulting in precautionary management that avoids any direct impacts from development activity, including shellfish aquaculture. Recent research suggests that oyster aquaculture has direct impacts on native seagrass (eelgrass Zostera marina) at small spatial and short temporal scales in US west coast estuaries. We quantified impacts of oyster aquaculture on Z. marina at the estuarine landscape scale in Willapa Bay, Washington. A model of Z. marina cover outside of aquaculture was created using distance to estuary mouth, distance to nearest channel, salinity, elevation, and cumulative wave stress as factors, and was then used to predict Z. marina distribution within oyster aquaculture beds and compared to an inverse distance interpolation of points outside of aquaculture. The amount of Z. marina cover observed within oyster aquaculture beds was less than predicted, but represented < 1.5% of the total predicted amount of Z. marina cover in Willapa Bay in any year. Type of oyster culture bed did not contribute to observed variation, but mechanically harvested beds had significantly less Z. marina cover than beds harvested by other methods. The majority of beds had 65-145% of the model-predicted Z. marina cover and exhibited relatively low variability between years, suggesting that Z. marina as habitat is resilient to oyster aquaculture as a disturbance and does not result in persistent effects at the landscape scale in this estuary.

Adolescents readily accept and adopt new technologies; thus, a food record app (FRapp) may be a useful tool to better understand adolescents' dietary intake and eating patterns. Objective: We sought to determine the amenability of adolescents, in a free-living environment with minimal parental input, to use the FRapp to record their dietary intake. Methods: Eighteen community-dwelling adolescents (11-14 years) received detailed instructions to record their dietary intake for 3-7 days using the FRapp. Participants were instructed to capture before and after images of all foods and beverages consumed and to include a fiducial marker in the image. Participants were also asked to provide text descriptors including amount and type of all foods and beverages consumed. Results: Eight of 18 participants were able to follow all instructions: included pre- and post-meal images, a fiducial marker, and a text descriptor and collected diet records on 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day. Dietary intake was recorded on average for 3.2 (SD 1.3 days; 68% weekdays and 32% weekend days) with an average of 2.2 (SD 1.1) eating events per day per participant. A total of 143 eating events were recorded, of which 109 had at least one associated image and 34 were recorded with text only. Of the 109 eating events with images, 66 included all foods, beverages and a fiducial marker and 44 included both a pre-and post-meal image. Text was included with 78 of the captured images. Of the meals recorded, 36, 33, 35, and 39 were breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks, respectively. Conclusions: These data suggest that mobile devices equipped with an app to record dietary intake will be used by adolescents in a free-living environment; however, a minority of participants followed all directions. User-friendly mobile food record apps may increase participant amenability, increasing our understanding of adolescent dietary intake and eating patterns. To improve data collection, the FRapp should deliver prompts for tasks, such as capturing images before and after each eating event, including the fiducial marker in the image, providing complete and accurate text information, and ensuring all eating events are recorded and should be customizable to individuals and to different situations.

Honey bee immune responses in the presence of feeding mites may occur in response to mite feeding, to the presence of viruses, or to both. In this study, the mRNA expression levels were measured for three antimicrobial peptide encoding genes (abaecin, apidaecin and hymenoptaecin) and a phagocytosis receptor gene (eater) in worker brood infested with different numbers of actively feeding T. mercedesae. Also, all samples were measured for the amount of acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), black queen cell virus (BQCV), deformed wing virus (DWV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV) and sacbrood virus (SBV). Using an artificial mite inoculation protocol, the analysis showed that apidaecin was significantly down-regulated when tan-bodied pupae were infested with 1-2 mites and when capping of the cells of newly sealed larvae were opened and closed without mite inoculation (o/c) as compared to the control group (undisturbed brood, no mite inoculation). Reduced transcription levels of the eater gene were also recorded in the o/c group. However, an up-regulation of apidaecin and eater genes was observed in highly infested pupae when compared to o/c group. This occurrence is perhaps due to an adaptive response of the bees to higher mite infestations by up-regulating their immune expression. No significant expression differences were detected for abaecin and hymenoptaecin and the viruses ABPV, KBV and SBV were not detected. However, 86.7% of the pupae were infected with DWV, 83.3% were infected with BQCV and 73% were infected by both of these viruses. In addition, the Tropilaelaps-inoculated pupae showed higher levels and incidence of DWV compared to uninfested pupae. The presence of these two honey bee viruses was not related to the number of T. mercedesae infesting the pupae. Also, the presence of variable levels of DWV and low levels of BQCV did not provoke any expression differences for any of the targeted genes. Overall, this research indicates that feeding by Tropilaelaps mites produces an immune response, that the level of viruses did not produce a correlated immune response by the four genes tested and that Tropilaelaps may be a potential vector of DWV but not to a high degree. The data indicated that the major impact of Tropilaelaps infestation is caused by the mite itself.

New plant stresses due to a changing environment are difficult to breed for as quickly as the changes occur. There is consequently a continual need for new research programs and breeding strategies aimed at improving yield potential, abiotic stress tolerance and resistance to new, major pests and diseases. Recent advances in plant breeding encompass novel methods of expanding genetic variability and selecting for recombinants, including the development of synthetic hexaploid, hybrid and transgenic wheats. In addition, the use of molecular approaches such as quantitative trait locus (QTL) and association mapping may increase the possibility of directly selecting positive chromosomal regions linked with natural variation for grain yield and stress resistance. The present article reviews the potential contribution of these new approaches and tools to the improvement of wheat yield in farmer's fields, with a special emphasis on the Asian countries, which are major wheat producers, and contain the highest concentration of resource-poor wheat farmers.

Representative cropland acres in all major U.S. watersheds were surveyed in 2003-2006 as part of the seminal CEAP Cropland National Assessment. Two process-based models, the Agricultural Policy Environmental eXtender (APEX) and the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), were applied to the survey data to provide a quantitative assessment of current conservation practice impacts, establish a benchmark against which future conservation trends and efforts could be measured, and identify outstanding conservation concerns. The flexibility of these models and the unprecedented amount of data on current conservation practices across the country enabled Cropland CEAP to meet its Congressional mandate of quantifying the value of current conservation practices. It also enabled scientifically grounded exploration of a variety of conservation scenarios, empowering CEAP to not only inform on past successes and additional needs, but to also provide a decision support tool to help guide future policy development and conservation practice decision making. The CEAP effort will repeat the national survey in 2015-2016, enabling CEAP to provide analyses of emergent conservation trends, outstanding needs, and potential costs and benefits of pursuing various treatment scenarios for all agricultural watersheds across the United States.

Historically, the National Cooperative Soil Survey worked on building a national map that would deliver information on land use and soil management. Soil Mapping, Soil Classification and Soil Taxonomy focused on the static qualities of the soil profile, attempting to make estimates and predictions of soil groupings based on soil characteristics that were stable beyond a 5 to 20 year cycle of use and management and potential anthropogenic change. The National cooperative Soil Survey continues to seek new ways to interpret soils and to make that information more easily accessible. Practice-specific soil interpretations are being explored to support NRCS conservation planning and practice implementation. Other areas of focus include the development of real-time interpretation systems that allow incorporation of site-specific information and interpretation systems that will allow users to incorporate other spatially-referenced data sets including climate and land use to develop accurate and site-specific interpretive information products.

The Key Foods approach uses food composition data from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (5R26) for 14 nutrients of public health significance identified in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, intake data from NHANES, What We Eat in America (WWEIA) 2011-12, and the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS 2011-2012) to connect food composition with consumption data For each food. NDL multiplies the nutrient content by the grams consumed. Mk, then ranks all Key Foods for each nutTient and di vides the foods into quartiles. The current Key Foods list contains 576 food items, similar to the list generated from NHANES-WWEIA 2007-08, although the number of foods per quartile and rankings of some foods have changed slightly.

We examined the differences of consumption of selected USDA Food Patterns food groups, subgroups, and food components, total calorie intake, and the number of food items between self-identified vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the U.S. population aged 1 year and older. Weighted reliable food consumption data from day 1 of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007-2010 and the USDA Food Patterns Equivalents Database, 2007-2010 were analyzed in the U.S. population (n=15,453) using SAS 9.3. Only 3% of the self-identified vegetarians (total 2.1%; n=323) did not consume any animal products. Compared to non-vegetarians, vegetarians consumed significantly fewer calories (1862 kcal vs. 2058 kcal; p<0.05) with the same number of food items (n=16) per day, and they consumed significantly less meat, poultry, solid fats and added sugars, and more soy, legumes, and whole grains than non-vegetarians. Both groups consumed about the same amounts of eggs, dairy, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. After energy adjustment, vegetarians consumed significantly more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and total grains than non-vegetarians per 1000 kcal. Although a large proportion of self-identified vegetarians report consuming some type of animal products, such as meat, poultry and/or seafood, their dietary patterns contain more plant-based foods and whole grains with less solid fats and added sugars. Caution is needed in interpreting the term "vegetarian" front self-reports. Increasing fruit, vegetable, and whole grain consumption remains a targeted message for all populations.

Sentinel Foods are foods identified by USDA to be monitored as primary indicators to assess the changes in the sodium content of commercially processed foods from stores and restaurants. Overall, 937 products were evaluated in the CDC PFD, and between 3 (one brand of ready-to-eat cereal) and 126 products (white bread) were evaluated per selected food. The mean sodium concentrations of 17 of the 23 (74%) selected foods in the CDC PFD were 90%-110% of the mean sodium concentrations in SR 26 and differences in sodium concentration were statistically significant for 6 Sentinel Foods. The sodium concentration of most of the Sentinel Foods, as selected in the PFD, appeared to represent the sodium concentrations of the corresponding food category. The results of our study help improve the understanding of how nutrition information compares between national analytic values and the label and whether the selected Sentinel Foods represent their corresponding food category as indicators for assessment of change of the sodium content in the food supply.

Chinese restaurants are popular among many Americans, outnumbering in total number the combined top three major fast food establishments. The 'Nutrient Data Laboratory expanded the number of Chinese foods in its USI)A National Nutrient 11)atabase for Standard Reference with new analytical data. This study aimed to examine the variability of sodium and order size in Chinese entrees. Eleven popular entrees were sampled from independent restaurants in up to 12 nationwide locations and sent for nutrient analysis according to National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program protocol. Mean sodium levels ranged from 252 to 553 mg/100 g among the 11 entrees; differences in variability were indicated by CV's ranging from 13% (general Tao's chicken) to 56% (lemon chicken). The weight of an order varied among the different restaurants for each dish, creating an even greater impact on the sodium level per order. Sodium levels per order showed significant differences across four U.S. regions (p<0.0001). The high variability of sodium levels in prepared Chinese foods impacts the amount of sodium consumed from these foods. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

ACANTHOIDES; DIVERSITY; PASTURE; IMPACTS AB In order to combat the growing problems associated with biological invasions, many researchers have focused on identifying which communities are most vulnerable to invasion by exotic species. However, once established, invasive species can significantly change the composition of the communities that they invade. The first step to disentangling the direction of causality is to discern whether a relationship with other vegetation exists at all. Carduus nutans and C. acanthoides are similar invasive thistles, which have caused substantial economic damage worldwide. We assessed the associations between the thistles and the standing flora in four sites in central Pennsylvania in which they co-occur. After sampling nearly 2000 plots of 1 m(2), we used partial Mantel tests to assess the differences in vegetation between thistle and non-thistle plots after accounting for location, and non-metric multidimensional scaling to visualize differences among plots and sites. We found significant differences in community composition in plots with and without Carduus thistles. The non-native species Sisymbrium officinale and Coronilla varia were consistently associated with the presence of Carduus thistles. Several species were associated with areas that were free of Carduus thistles, including an important non-native pasture species (Trifolium repens). We found no evidence for differences in composition between plots with C. nutans versus C. acanthoides, suggesting that they have similar associations with the vegetation community.

TI Energy partitioning and surface resistance of a poplar plantation in northern China SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID WATER-VAPOR FLUXES; SENSIBLE HEAT-FLUX; CANOPY CONDUCTANCE; BALANCE CLOSURE; SPRUCE FOREST; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; CARBON SEQUESTRATION; EDDY COVARIANCE; INNER-MONGOLIA; BOWEN-RATIO AB Poplar (Populus sp.) plantations have been, on the one hand, broadly used in northern China for urban greening, combating desertification, as well as for paper and wood production. On the other hand, such plantations have been questioned occasionally for their possible negative impacts on water availability due to the higher water-use nature of poplar trees compared with other tree species in water-limited dryland regions. To further understand the acclimation of poplar species to semiarid environments and to evaluate the potential impacts of these plantations on the broader context of the region's water supply, we examine the variability of bulk resistance parameters and energy partitioning in a poplar (Populus euramericana cv. "74/76") plantation located in northern China over a 4-year period, encompassing both dry and wet conditions. The partitioning of available energy to latent heat flux (LE) decreased from 0.62 to 0.53 under mediated meteorological drought by irrigation applications. A concomitant increase in sensible heat flux (H/resulted in the increase of a Bowen ratio from 0.83 to 1.57. Partial correlation analysis indicated that surface resistance (R-s/normalized by leaf area index (LAI; R-s: LAI) increased by 50% under drought conditions and was the dominant factor controlling the Bowen ratio. Furthermore, R-s was the main factor controlling LE during the growing season, even in wet years, as indicated by the decoupling coefficient (Omega = 0.45 and 0.39 in wet and dry years, respectively). R-s was also a major regulator of the LE/LEeq ratio, which decreased from 0.81 in wet years to 0.68 in dry years. All physiological and bioclimatological metrics indicated that the water demands of the poplar plantation were greater than the amount available through precipitation, highlighting the poor match of a water-intensive species like poplar for this water-limited region.

In the past, MOE has often been modeled as a Gaussian and MOR as a lognormal or a two or three parameter Weibull. It is well known that MOE and MOR are positively correlated. To model the simultaneous behavior of MOE and MOR for the purposes of wood system reliability calculations, we introduce a bivariate Gaussian-Weibull distribution and the associated pseudo-truncated Weibull. We use asymptotically efficient likelihood methods to obtain an estimator of the parameter vector of the bivariate Gaussian-Weibull, and then obtain the asymptotic distribution of this estimator.

The drawdown initiated incision of the reservoir delta that had developed in the 40 years since Cougar Dam was constructed. Remobilization of deltaic sediments resulted in a sustained release of turbid water from Cougar Reservoir, prompting concern that sediment contained within the turbidity plume might intrude into river gravels, with potentially negative effects for fish and other aquatic biota. We sampled gravels both upstream and downstream of Cougar Dam and on the mainstem McKenzie River both above and below the confluence with the South Fork to compare affected gravels to unaffected gravels. The results suggest that intrusion of very fine clays into gravel substrate can occur even when the clay is carried as wash load.

Achieving these goals requires organizing case histories systematically so that underlying physical mechanisms determining rates and styles of sediment erosion, transport, and deposition are revealed.

TI Urbanization dramatically altered the water balances of a paddy field-dominated basin in southern China SO HYDROLOGY AND EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID URBAN HEAT-ISLAND; LAND-USE CHANGE; CLIMATE-CHANGE; HYDROLOGICAL SIMULATION; IMPERVIOUS COVER; UNITED-STATES; ANNUAL RUNOFF; RIVER-BASIN; TIME-SERIES; IMPACT AB Rice paddy fields provide important ecosystem services (e.g., food production, water retention, carbon sequestration) to a large population globally. However, these benefits are diminishing as a result of rapid environmental and socioeconomic transformations, characterized by population growth, urbanization, and climate change in many Asian countries. This case study examined the responses of stream flow and watershed water balances to the decline of rice paddy fields due to urbanization in the Qinhuai River basin in southern China, where massive industrialization has occurred during the past 3 decades. We found that stream flow increased by 58% and evapotranspiration (ET) decreased by 23% during 1986-2013 as a result of a threefold increase in urban areas and a reduction of rice paddy fields by 27%. Both high flows and low flows increased significantly by about 28% from 2002 to 2013. The increases in stream flow were consistent with the decreases in ET and leaf area index monitored by independent remote sensing MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data. Attribution analysis, based on two empirical models, indicated that land-use/land-cover change contributed about 82-108% of the observed increase in stream flow from 353 +/- 287 mm yr(-1) during 1986-2002 to 556 +/- 145 during 2003-2013. We concluded that the reduction in ET was largely attributed to the conversion of cropland to urban use. The effects of land-use change overwhelmed the effects of regional climate warming and climate variability. Converting traditional rice paddy fields to urban use dramatically altered land surface conditions from an artificial wetland-dominated landscape to an urban land-use-dominated one, and thus was considered an extreme type of contemporary hydrologic disturbance. The ongoing large-scale urbanization of the rice paddy-dominated regions, in humid southern China and East Asia, will likely elevate storm-flow volume, aggravate flood risks, and intensify urban heat island effects. Understanding the connection between land-use/land-cover change and changes in hydrological processes is essential for better management of urbanizing watersheds in the rice paddy-dominated landscape.

But, concern over Salmonella has threatened access to some traditional export markets. This paper examines the economic forces driving recent reductions in Salmonella on U.S. chicken and discusses the implications of these reductions for U.S. poultry exports. Empirical results suggest that plant size and regulatory changes have contributed to a 50 percent reduction in Salmonella on chicken. These lower Salmonella levels will likely strengthen the U.S. bargaining position in trade negotiations and enhance the U.S. reputation in world trade but will not likely result in immediate export gains.

We find that farm size, diversification, and broiler housing vintage are the major drivers of farm financial performance, so these factors will likely have the greatest impact on U.S. broiler production in an increasingly competitive broiler trade market. Furthermore, region, farmer age, and off-farm employment are additional farm financial performance drivers that have implications for international competitiveness.

Previous studies have found a significant coefficient parameter in exchange rate variable, which is only indicative of short-run pricing-to-market for multiple export destinations rather than long-run pricing behavior. This paper examines a long-run pricing-to-market for U.S. broiler meat export markets, using "between" panel specification. Findings indicate that the U.S. pricing-to-market behavior of exporters is both transient and persistently long. These results clearly imply that the implementation of a long-run pricing-to-market strategy in the U.S. broiler meat exports mitigates the rising imbalance between the domestic production and consumption via incomplete exchange rate pass-through.
