TI Influence of cosolvents on the hydrophobic surface immobilization topography of Candida antarctica lipase B SO JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR CATALYSIS B-ENZYMATIC LA English DT Article DE Protein adsorption; Lipase; Immobilization ID INTERFACIAL ADSORPTION; POLYESTER SYNTHESIS; ORGANIC MEDIA; SUPPORTS; BIOCATALYSTS; TRANSESTERIFICATION; HYPERACTIVATION; STABILIZATION; SELECTIVITY; IMPROVEMENT AB The presence of cosolvents and CO-solutes during the immobilization of lipases on hydrophobic supports may influence the extent of lipase immobilization and the long-term catalytic stability of the biocatalyst. Candida antarctica B lipase immobilization was examined on a hydrophobic surface, i.e., gold modified with a methyl-terminated, self-assembled alkylthiol layer. Lipase adsorption was monitored gravimetrically using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Lipase activity was determined colorimetrically by following p-nitrophenol propionate hydrolysis. Adsorbed lipase topography was examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Lipase adsorption from low ionic strength aqueous buffer produced a uniform confluent protein monolayer. Inclusion of 10% (vol) ethanol in the buffer during immobilization resulted in a 33% adsorbed mass increase. Chemically similar cosolvents, all at 10% by volume in buffer, were also individually examined for their influence on CALB adsorption. Glycerol or I-propanol increased mass adsorption by 10%, while 2-propanol increased mass adsorption by 33%. QCM dissipation values increased threefold with the inclusion of either ethanol or 2-propanol in the medium during lipase adsorption, indicating formation of multilayers of CALB. Partial multilayer formation using 10% ethanol was confirmed by AFM. Inclusion of 10% ethanol in the CALB immobilization buffer decreased the specific activity of the immobilized lipase by 37%. The formation of lipase multilayers in the presence of certain cosolvents thus results in lower specific activity, which might be due to either influences on lipase conformation or substrate active site accessibility.

TI The multi-year effects of repeatedly growing cotton with moderate resistance to Meloidogyne incognita SO JOURNAL OF NEMATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Cotton; Gossypium hirsutum; host-plant resistance; Meloidogyne incognita; nematode management; southern root-knot nematode ID ROOT-KNOT NEMATODES; MANAGEMENT; ARENARIA; CORN; NEMX AB Meloidogyne incognita causes more damage to cotton in the US than any other pathogen. The objective of this study was to document the cumulative effect of moderate resistance on M. incognita population density, root galling, and yield suppression in the southern United States on a moderately resistant cotton genotype grown continuously for three years. Cotton genotypes were Phytogen PH98-3196 (77% suppression of M. incognita), Acala NemX (85% suppression of M. incognita), and Delta and Pine Land DP458 B/R (susceptible standard, 0% suppression). Cotton was grown in fumigated and non-fumigated plots to measure yield loss. Each genotype and nematicide combination was planted in the same place for three years at two sites to document cumulative effects. In 2006, following three years of the different genotypes, all plots at one site were planted with susceptible cotton to document residual effects of planting resistant genotypes. Root galling and nematode population densities in the soil were significantly lower, and percentage yield suppression was numerically lower, when moderately resistant cotton was grown compared to the susceptible standard in both fields in all three years. Differences between susceptible and moderately resistant genotypes are established quickly (after only one season) and then either maintained at similar levels or slightly increased in subsequent years depending on initial nematode levels. However, when susceptible cotton was grown following three years of the moderately resistant genotypes, the nematode suppression provided by moderate resistance was undetectable by the end of the first season. Moderately resistant cotton genotypes arc more beneficial than previously reported and should be pursued for nematode management. Rotation of moderately resistant and susceptible cotton could be used along with nematicides to manage root-knot nematodes in a continuous cotton cropping system and reduce selection pressure on the nematodes.

TI Microsatellites reveal genetic diversity in Rotylenchulus reniformis populations SO JOURNAL OF NEMATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE DNA fingerprinting; genetics; molecular biology; molecular markers; nematode; simple sequence repeats; SSR; STR; reniform nematode ID FUNGAL PLANT PATHOGEN; HETERODERA-GLYCINES; UNITED-STATES; COTTON; RESISTANCE; DNA; VARIABILITY; HETEROZYGOSITY; SEQUENCES; GENOMICS AB Rotylenchulus reniformis is the predominant parasitic nematode of cotton in the Mid South area of the United States. Although variable levels of infection and morphological differences have been reported for this nematode, genetic variability has been more elusive. We developed microsatellite-enriched libraries for R. reniformis, produced 1152 clones, assembled 694 contigs, detected 783 simple sequence repeats (SSR) and designed 192 SSR-markers. The markers were tested on six R. reniformis cultures from four states, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia, in the USA. Based on performance we selected 156 SSR markers for R. reniformis from which 88 were polymorphic across the six reniform nematode populations, showing as the most frequent motif the dinucleotide AG. The polymorphic information content of the markers ranged from 0.00 to 0.82, and the percentage of multiallelic loci of the isolates was between 40.9 and 45.1%. An interesting finding in this study was the genetic variability detected among the three Mississippi isolates, for which 22 SSR markers were polymorphic. We also tested the level of infection of these isolates on six cotton genotypes, where significant differences were found between the Texas and Georgia isolates. Coincidentally, 62 polymorphic markers were able to distinguish these two populations. Further studies will be necessary to establish possible connections, if any, between markers and level of pathogenicity of the nematode. The SSR markers developed here will be useful in the assessment of the genetic diversity of this nematode, could assist in management practices for control of reniform nematode, be used in breeding programs for crop resistance, and help in detecting the origin and spread of this nematode in the United States.

Timothy TI Plasma Acylcarnitine Profiles Suggest Incomplete Long-Chain Fatty Acid beta-Oxidation and Altered Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle Activity in Type 2 Diabetic African-American Women SO JOURNAL OF NUTRITION LA English DT Article ID INDUCED INSULIN-RESISTANCE; TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR-4; INTRAMYOCELLULAR LIPID-ACCUMULATION; HUMAN SKELETAL-MUSCLE; DIFFERENTIAL MODULATION; CARNITINE METABOLISM; UNCOUPLING PROTEIN-3; SIGNALING PATHWAYS; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; WEIGHT-LOSS AB Inefficient muscle long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) combustion is associated with insulin resistance, but molecular links between mitochondrial fat catabolism and insulin action remain controversial. We hypothesized that plasma acylcarnitine profiling would identify distinct metabolite patterns reflective of muscle fat catabolism when comparing individuals bearing a missense G304A uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3 g/a) polymorphism to controls, because UCP3 is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and g/a individuals have reduced whole-body fat oxidation. VIS analyses of 42 carnitine moieties in plasma samples from fasting type 2 diabetics (n = 44) and noncliabetics (n = 12) with or without the UCP3 g/a polymorphism in = 28/genotype: 22 diabetic, 6 nondiabetic/genotype) were conducted. Contrary to our hypothesis, genotype had a negligible impact on plasma metabolite patterns. However, a comparison of nondiabetics vs. type 2 diabetics revealed a striking increase in the concentrations of fatty acylcarnitines reflective of incomplete LCFA beta-oxidation in the latter (i.e. summed C10- to C14-carnitine concentrations were similar to 300% of controls; P = 0.004). Across all volunteers (n = 56), acetylcarnitine rose and propionylcarnitine decreased with increasing hemoglobin A1c (r = 0.544, P < 0.0001; and r = -0.308, P < 0.05, respectively) and with increasing total plasma acylcarnitine concentration. In proof-of-concept studies, we made the novel observation that C12-C14 acylcarnitines significantly stimulated nuclear factor kappa-B activity (up to 200% of controls) in RAW264.7 cells. These results are consistent with the working hypothesis that inefficient tissue LCFA beta-oxidation, due in part to a relatively low tricarboxylic acid cycle capacity, increases tissue accumulation of acetyl-CoA and generates chain-shortened acylcarnitine molecules that activate proinflammatory pathways implicated in insulin resistance.

TI The Development of the Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern Score and Its Application to the American Diet in the Framingham Offspring Cohort SO JOURNAL OF NUTRITION LA English DT Article ID FOOD FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE; ENERGY-INTAKE; CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; US ADULTS; HEALTH; REPRODUCIBILITY; VALIDITY; RISK; CONSUMPTION; VALIDATION AB Previous Mediterranean diet scores were simple to apply but may not be appropriate for non-Mediterranean populations. We developed a Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern Score (MSDPS) to assess the conformity of an individual's diet to a traditional Mediterranean-style diet. The MSDPS is based on the recommended intakes of 13 food groups in the Mediterranean diet pyramid. Each food group is scored from 0 to 10 depending on the degree of correspondence with recommendations. Exceeding the recommendations results in a lower score proportional to the degree of overconsumption. The sum of the component scores is standardized to a 0-100 scale and weighted by the proportion of energy consumed from Mediterranean diet foods. We applied the MSDPS to dietary data collected at the 7th examination of the Framingham Offspring Cohort and tested the content validity of the score against selected nutrients known to be associated with the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern. The mean MSDPS was 24.8 (range, 3.1-60.7). Participants with a higher MSDPS were more likely to be women, older, multivitamin users, to have lower BMI and waist circumferences, and less likely to be current smokers. The MSDPS demonstrated content validity through expected positive associations with intakes of dietary fiber, (n-3) fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and inverse associations with those of added sugar, glycemic index, saturated fat, and trans-fat, and the (n-6):(n-3) fatty acid ratio. The MSDPS is a useful instrument to measure overall diet quality according to the principles of a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern. J. Nutr. 139: 1150-1156, 2009.

Here, we evaluated the effect of in vitro supplementation with 46 mu mol/L of vitamin E on T cell receptor-proximal signaling events of CD4(+) T cells from young (4-6 mo) and old (22-26 me) C57BL mice. Aged murine CD4(+) T cells stimulated via CD3 and CD28, tyrosine 191 of the adaptor protein Linker for Activation of T cells (LAT), was hypophosphorylated. Supplementation with vitamin E eliminated this difference in the tyrosine phosphorylation of LAT. By using a flow cytometric assay, the age-related differences in the activation-induced phosphorylation of LAT were observed in both naive and memory T cell subsets. In addition, supplementation with vitamin E eliminates the age-related differences in LAT phosphorylation in both T cell subsets. Neither age nor vitamin E supplementation altered the fraction of LAT entering the membrane compartment. Furthermore, neither age nor vitamin E influenced the phosphorylation of Lck and Zap70, indicating that associated changes in LAT phosphorylation were not caused by alterations in activation states of the upstream kinases Lek and Zap70.

In short-term controlled feeding studies, dietary fructose significantly increases postprandial triglyceride (TG) levels and has little effect on serum glucose concentrations, whereas dietary glucose has the opposite effects. When dietary glucose and fructose have been directly compared at similar to 20-25% of energy over a 4- to 6-wk period, dietary fructose caused significant increases in fasting TG and LDL cholesterol concentrations, whereas dietary glucose did not, but dietary glucose did increase serum glucose and insulin concentrations in the postprandial state whereas dietary fructose did not. When fructose at 30-60 g (similar to 4-12% of energy) was added to the diet in the free-living state, there were no significant effects on lipid or glucose biomarkers. Sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contain approximately equal amounts of fructose and glucose and no metabolic differences between them have been noted. Controlled feeding studies at more physiologic dietary intakes of fructose and glucose need to be conducted. In our view, to decrease the current high prevalence of obesity,dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and diabetes, the focus should be on restricting the intake of excess energy, sucrose, HFCS, and animal and trans fats and increasing exercise and the intake of vegetables, vegetable oils, fish, fruit, whole grains, and fiber.

ANTIBODIES IN CATS FROM PENNSYLVANIA SO JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DOMESTIC CATS; UNITED-STATES; TISSUE CYSTS; SWINE FARMS; PREVALENCE; INFECTION; DIAGNOSIS; HENSELAE; RESPONSES; MAMMALS AB Toxoplasma gondii and Bartonella spp. are zoonotic pathogens of cats. In the present study, the prevalence of antibodies to T gondii and Bartonella spp. were determined in sera from 210 domestic cats from Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Using a modified agglutination test, antibodies to T gondii were found in 41 (19.5%) of the 210 cats with titers of 1:25 in 4, 1:50 in 9, 1:100 in 7, 1:200 in 3, 1:400 in 3, 1:800 in 5, 1:1,600 in 4, and 1:3,200 or higher in 6. For T. gondii, seroprevalence increased with age of the cat: 15 of 1 13 (13.2 %) were seropositive compared with 26 of 97 (26.7%) older than 11 mo. Of these 210 cats, 54 (25.7%) were positive for Bartonella spp. antibodies, with titers of 1:64 in 20, 1:128 in 21, 1:256 in 9, and 1:512 in 4. Seventeen cats had antibodies to both organisms. There was no correlation between T. gondii and Bartonella spp. seropositivity. Overall the seroprevalence of T. gondii antibodies in cats in this population is much lower compared with those reported in other localities in the United States and other countries. C1 [Dubey, J.

NOV ET SP NOV (NEMATODA: TRICHOSTRONGYLOIDEA) IN KOB (KOBUS KOB) AND HARTEBEEST (ALCELAPHUS BUSELAPHUS JACKSONI) (ARTIODACTYLA) FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, WITH FURTHER RUMINATIONS ON THE OSTERTAGIINAE SO JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY LA English DT Article ID GLOBAL CLIMATE-CHANGE; FAMILY TRICHOSTRONGYLIDAE; TELADORSAGIA-CIRCUMCINCTA; LOPEZ-NEYRA; RUMINANTS; HAEMONCHINAE; BIOGEOGRAPHY; REVISION; PARASITE; SYNLOPHE AB Abomasal nematodes (Ostertagiinae: Trichostrongyloidea), representing a previously unrecognized genus and species, were discovered in kob (Kobus kob) and kongoni (hartebeest) (Alcelaphus buselaphus jacksoni) from Uganda during surveys of ungulate parasites in the 1960s. Robustostrongylus aferensis gen. nov. et sp. nov. is characterized by a ventriculus-like, bilobed valve at the junction of the esophagus and intestine, a synlophe with unusually robust ridges, cervical papillae and excretory pore situated posterior to the mid-length of the esophagus, a unique body form and large diameter in males and females, a relatively anterior position for the vulva, and strongly convoluted and spiraled ovarian tracks in females. Bursal structure is 2-1-2, with subequal Rays 2/3, strongly reduced and robust Rays 8, and relatively narrow Rays 9/10 contained within a reduced, laterally inflated dorsal lobe. Spicules are filamentous and tripartite; the gubernaculum is cryptic, alate, and heart-shaped in the anterior. Robustostrongylus aferensis, with narrow filamentous spicules that trifurcate distally near 80%, paired arcuate "0" papillae that terminate in bulbous expansions, and a reduced dorsal lobe and ray most closely resembles species of Longistrongylus. A suite of unique characters, consistent in males and females, however, unequivocally distinguishes specimens of R. aferensis from all ostertagiines with either a 2-1-2 or 2-2-1 bursal pattern. Among 15 genera of the Ostertagimae in the global fauna, 5 are entirely limited in distribution to Africa, including Africanastrongylus, Hamulonema, Longistrongylus, Pseudomarshallagia, and Robustostrongylus gen. nov.; species among 5 additional genera, including Cervicaprastrongylus, Hyostrongylus, Marshallagia, Ostertagia, and Teladorsagia, also occur in Africa, but they are represented as mosaics, with diversity centered in Eurasia or the Holarctic.

TI Serological Survey for Antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Ownerless Dogs From Urban Areas of Brazil and Colombia SO JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY LA English DT Article ID FOXES ALOPEX-LAGOPUS; CANINE ENCEPHALITOZOONOSIS; SAGUINUS-IMPERATOR; TOXOPLASMA-GONDII; IMMUNE-RESPONSE; AIDS PATIENT; INFECTION; MICROSPORIDIOSIS; PREVALENCE; TAMARINS AB There are 3 strains of Encephalitozoon cuniculi that occur in mammals. Strain III is associated with clinical disease in dogs, although some can be asymptomatic carriers and excrete spores in their urine. Several cases of human E. cuniculi infection caused by strain III have been observed in immunocompromised patients, indicating that E. cuniculi should be considered a zoonotic agent. Encephalitozoon cuniculi can cause fatal disease in maternally-infected or young dogs. Clinical signs in these animals included blindness, encephalitis, retarded growth rate, and nephritis. Encephalitozoon cuniculi has also been associated with primary renal failure in adult dogs. The present study used the direct agglutination test (DAT, cut-off 1:50) and the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT, cut-off 1:10) to examine the prevalence of antibodies to E. cuniculi in dogs from Brazil and Colombia. Using the DAG, 31 (27.4%) of 113 dogs from Brazil and 47 (18.5%) of 254 dogs from Colombia were seropositive. Nine (14.3%) of 63 dogs from Brazil and IS (35.3%) of the 51 dogs from Colombia were seropositive by indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. These results indicate that dogs from Brazil and Colombia are exposed to E. cuniculi.

TI Survey of Dogs From Vietnam for Antibodies to Visceralizing Leishmania spp. SO JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Cases of visceral leishmaniasis, one of the most neglected tropical diseases, are increasing globally. Dogs are considered all important reservoir host for visceral leishmaniasis in people. The first cases of human visceral leishmaniasis in Vietnam have recently been reported. Blood samples were collected from 41 dogs in rural Vietnam. Sera were examined for antibodies to visceralizing Leishmania spp. by canine immunochromatographic strip assays based on recombinant K39 antigen. Antibodies to Leishmania spp. were not detected in ally of the dogs tested. Results from this study suggest that rural dogs are not likely to be involved in the emergence of human visceral leishmaniasis in Vietnam.

Merr. cvs. Chusei-Hikarikuro and Sachiyutaka, and mycelium growth and zoospore release of a Phytophthora sojae isolate were investigated under laboratory conditions. The application of 4-30 mm KNO(3) prior to inoculation greatly reduced incidence of disease in the two soybean cultivars. Although a concentration of 20-30 mm KNO(3) led to a slight decrease in the growth rate of the PJ-H30 isolate on PDA medium, no significant relationship was observed between inhibition of the growth rate and disease reduction on application of 0.4-10 mm KNO(3). Disease suppression recorded in laboratory experiments using pathogen mycelium was due to the response of plant tissues rather than a direct inhibition of pathogen hyphal growth by the application of KNO(3). The extent of disease reduction was related to increased potassium concentration in plants of the two cultivars (except for some cases involving cv. Sachiyutaka), suggesting that differences existed between the two cultivars in terms of the effect of KNO(3) application on disease suppression. Scanning electron microscopic observation with fresh samples indicated marked accumulation of potassium at the penetration-stopping sites of P. sojae in the cortex layer of soybean plants treated with 30 mm KNO(3), compared with the non-treated control plants. The presence of 0.4-30 mm KNO(3) decreased the release of zoospores. These results suggest the possibility of applying a solution containing 20-30 mm of KNO(3) to decrease the incidence of disease in agricultural fields by the response of plant tissues to KNO(3).

No reaction occurred when aspartic acid alone was heated at 170 or 200 A degrees C. In contrast, heating sorbitol and aspartic acid neat or with ammonium hydroxide gave a mixture of water soluble and insoluble copolymers of polysuccinimide and sorbitol. In the presence of phosphoric acid, sorbitol aspartate ester copolymers having both water soluble and highly swollen gel components were formed. These results indicate that polysaccharides such as sorbitol can readily react to form copolymer ester/amides with aspartic acid and such copolymers may have utility as biodegradable water soluble and swellable polyampholytes.

Zein was blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone of varying molecular weights (10, 55, and 1,300 kDa) and films were cast from ethanol solutions. Films cast using the higher molecular weight polymers showed an improvement in tensile strength, up to a 24% increase, compared to control. Differential scanning calorimetry data for the blends showed single T-m and T-g values of an intermediate value between those of zein and PVP control samples. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images show no obvious inhomogeneities, and confocal fluorescence microscopy showed no decreased uniformity in the PVP/zein films compared to control. Electrospun fibers of the zein/PVP blends were also obtained. These findings suggest that zein and polyvinylpyrrolidone combine to form a compatible blend, the first such blend of zein with a synthetic polymer.

Although filtration can potentially separate and concentrate bacterial pathogens to detectable levels if large (100-1,000 mL) sample volumes are processed, prior filtration methods failed to approach these volumes because of the high solids content and viscosity of typical food samples. This report describes a novel three-stage filtration system based on a leukocyte removal filter, a glass fiber prefilter, and a membrane capture filter. Data are presented on factors (e.g., particle size, bacteria binding, pH) affecting filtration performance and protocol design. Escherichia coli O157:H7 at less than 1 cfu/g were quantitatively recovered from 10 g of stomached ground beef in 15 min, and detected on selective media within 24 h.

The specific aims of these analyses were to assess overall diet quality and nutrient adequacy, and test for association between weight status and diet in children from low socioeconomic status (SES) Hispanic families at high risk for obesity. Design A cross-sectional study design was used to assess dietary intake in low-SES Hispanic children with and without overweight who were enrolled in the Viva la Familia Study. Multiple-pass 24-hour dietary recalls were recorded on two random, weekday occasions. Diet quality was evaluated according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Nutrient adequacy was assessed using z scores based on estimated average requirement or adequate intake. Subjects/setting The study included 1,030 Hispanic children and adolescents, aged 4 to 19 years, in Houston, TX, who participated between November 2000 and August 2004. Statistical analysis STATA software (version 9.1, 2006, STATA Corp, College Station, TX) was used for generalized estimating equations and random effects regression. Results Diet quality did not adhere to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for fat, cholesterol, saturated fatty acids, fiber, added sugar, and sodium. Although energy intake was significantly higher in children with overweight, food sources, diet quality, macro- and micronutrient composition were similar between non-overweight and overweight children. Relative to estimated average requirements or adequate intake levels, mean nutrient intakes were adequate (70% to 98% probability) in the children without and with overweight, except for vitamins D and E, pantothenic acid, calcium, and potassium, for which z scores cannot be interpreted given the uncertainty of their adequate intake levels. Conclusions Whereas the diets of low-SES Hispanic children with and without overweight were adequate in most essential nutrients, other components of a healthful diet, which promote long-term health, were suboptimal. Knowledge of the diets of high-risk Hispanic children will inform nutritional interventions and policy. J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109:1012-1021.

SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID EXCESS-DEMAND; QUALITY; CARE; OUTCOMES AB The opinions of both national aging and health experts and practicing registered dietitians (RDs) were surveyed on which key quality indicators from the Food And Nutrition Care Indicators checklist should be regulated in assisted living facilities (ALFs) for older adults. The extent to which the practices on which the indicators were based should be regulated, and which were in fact included in the current regulations of the 50 states was also studied. One hundred fifty-three national aging and health experts were surveyed in 2005 and 882 practicing RDs who were members of two American Dietetic Association dietetic practice groups employed in ALFs were surveyed in 2006. Both the experts and the RDs believed that the need for regulations in ALF food and nutrition services was vital for about a third of the indicators, (eg, 18 items on the 57 item checklist), particularly those involving facilities and staffing. For seven out of the 18 indicators, there was substantial consensus between experts and RDs. Only three of the seven indicators were addressed by regulations in more than half of the states. Consensus exists among experts and RDs that a small but significant number of food and nutrition service indicators need to be regulated. J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109:1048-1057.

Based on 24-h LD(50) values, the most toxic repellent against all 4 mosquito species was A 13-37220, with values of 0.25, 0.20, 0.16, and 0.11 mu g/mg for the listed 4 mosquito species, respectively. The least toxic of the 8 repellents tested was DMP, with LD(50) values of 5.40, 4.72, 2.50, and 1.83 mu g/mg, respectively. Based on the 24-h LD(50) values, An. albimanus was the most susceptible species. The findings of the study reported herein provide a comprehensive examination of the toxicities of 4 currently used, 2 formerly used, and 2 experimental repellents against 4 mosquito species.

In the laboratory, both compounds provided between 150 and 195 min of protection against Aedes aegypti and between 18 and 80 min of protection against Anopheles farauti. In laboratory tests against Culex annulirostris, 20% SS220 provided 3 h of protection and 20% deet provided >6 h of protection. A field efficacy test was conducted at Redcliffe, Queensland in January 2008 and the predominant mosquito species collected was Cx. annulirostris (84.4% of collection). In the field, 20% SS220 provided significantly better protection against mosquitoes than 20% deet. Seven hours after application, SS220 provided greater than 96.0% protection against all mosquitoes, whereas 20% deet provided 58.9% protection.

TI EFFICACY OF RESIDUAL BIFENTHRIN APPLIED TO LANDSCAPE VEGETATION AGAINST AEDES ALBOPICTUS SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MOSQUITO CONTROL ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article DE Aedes albopictus; bifenthrin; residual pesticide; mosquito control ID CULEX-PIPIENS; CULICIDAE; DIPTERA; NORTH; INSECTICIDES; ARBOVIRUSES; MOSQUITOS; FOLIAGE AB The daytime biting mosquito Aedes albopictus is a nuisance pest commonly found in suburban yards. The recommended Course of treatment for Ae. albopictus is to keep yards free of water-holding containers; however, infestations may require additional control methods such as residual pesticide applications to vegetation. Five plants commonly found in yards or in uncultivated areas in Gainesville, FL were chosen as substrates for evaluation of the effectiveness of residual bifenthrin against 5-7-day-old female Ae. albopictus. Knockdown of mosquitoes after I h of exposure was highest the day of and 7 days after treatment. Plant species clearly impacted the effectiveness of residual bifenthrin. One-hour knockdown 7 days after treatment remained high (>62%) only on azalea and holly bush vegetation. Knockdown counts 24 h after exposure demonstrated that residual efficacy of bifenthrin was highest on azalea, with >77% mortality for up to 35 days. Additional bioassays revealed significant differences in the knockdown rates of male, female, gravid, and blood-fed Ae. albopictus exposed to residual bifenthrin treatments, with the highest knockdown observed on the day of and 7 days after treatment.

TI EVALUATION OF BARRIER TREATMENTS ON NATIVE VEGETATION IN A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DESERT HABITAT SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MOSQUITO CONTROL ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article DE Electrostatic sprayer; residual pesticide; mosquito-borne disease; bifenthrin; Deployed War-fighter Protection Program (DWFP) ID CULEX-QUINQUEFASCIATUS; AEDES-ALBOPICTUS; MALARIA VECTORS; RESIDUAL SPRAY; INSECTICIDE; PERMETHRIN; FIELD; MALATHION; MOSQUITOS; FOLIAGE AB Treating perimeters with residual insecticides for protection from mosquito vectors has shown promise. These barrier treatments are typically evaluated in temperate or tropical areas using abundant vegetation as a substrate. However, there is an emerging interest to develop this technology to protect deployed US troops in extreme desert environments with sparse vegetation, We used a remote desert area in the Coachella Valley, California, to 1) evaluate bifenthrin barrier treatments on native xeric vegetation and 2) compare treatments applied with electrostatic and conventional spray technologies. Through a combination of laboratory bioassays on treated and control vegetation sampled at specific intervals over 63 days, synchronized with field surveillance of mosquitoes, we measured the temporal pattern of bioactivity of bifenthrin barriers under natural hot, dry, and dusty desert conditions. Regardless of spray technology, mosquito catch in treated plots was about 80% lower than the catch in control plots I day after treatment. This reduction in mosquito numbers in treated plots declined each week after treatment but remained at about 40% lower than control plots after 28 days. Field data were corroborated by results from bioassays that showed significantly higher mosquito mortality on treated vegetation over controls out to 28 days postspray. We concluded that barrier treatments in desert environments, when implemented as part of a suite of integrated control measures, may offer a significant level of protection from mosquitoes for deployed troops. Given the comparable performance of the tested spray technologies, we discuss considerations for choosing a barrier treatment sprayer for military scenarios.

The insecticide was also bioassayed for activity against natural field populations of Ae. albopictus inhabiting 1-liter-capacity stone-made containers in it cemetery in St. Augustine, FL. The cemetery containers also were Utilized to Study initial efficacy and activity persistence of fipronil against natural populations of Ae. albopictus. The laboratory-reared larvae were 2-fold more susceptible than field-collected larvae as indicated by the 50% lethal concentration (LC(50)) values of 2.6 and 6 parts per billion (ppb) for laboratory-reared and field-collected larvae, respectively. In the field bioassay, in stone-made containers, the LC50 value of Ae. albopictus larvae amounted to 57.5 ppb. In the cemetery containers, fipronil applied at 3.2 and 32 ppb gave 100% control of Ae. albopictus larvae with either rate of application for at least up to 8 wk posttreatment.

TI Daily Updating of Operational Statistical Seasonal Water Supply Forecasts for the western US SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article DE runoff; snow hydrology; streamflow; surface water hydrology ID UNITED-STATES; WEATHER; REGRESSION; CLIMATE AB Official seasonal water supply outlooks for the western United States are typically produced once per month from January through June. The Natural Resources Conservation Service has developed a new outlook product that allows the automated production and delivery of this type of forecast year-round and with a daily update frequency. Daily snow water equivalent and water year-to-date precipitation data from multiple SNOTEL stations are combined using a statistical forecasting technique ("Z-Score Regression") to predict seasonal streamflow volume. The skill of these forecasts vs. lead-time is comparable to the official published outlooks. The new product matches the intra-monthly trends in the official forecasts until the target period is partly in the past, when the official forecasts begin to use information about observed streamflows to date. Geographically, the patterns of skill also match the official outlooks, with highest skill in Idaho and southern Colorado and lowest skill in the Colorado Front Range, eastern New Mexico, and eastern Montana. The direct and frequent delivery of objective guidance to users is a significant new development in the operational hydrologic seasonal forecasting community.

TI Biodiversity and ecosystem function in species-poor communities: community structure and leaf litter breakdown in a Pacific island stream SO JOURNAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN BENTHOLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE biodiversity; biogeography; decay; decomposition; electric exclusion; insular; lotic; Macrobrachium; Pacific island; leaf-litter processing; tropical stream ID FRESH-WATER GASTROPODS; TROPICAL STREAM; CAROLINE ISLANDS; INSULAR STREAMS; SOUTH-PACIFIC; DETRITUS; SHRIMP; MACROINVERTEBRATES; INVERTEBRATES; ENVIRONMENT AB Pacific island stream communities are species-poor because of the effects of extreme geographic isolation on colonization rates of taxa common to continental regions. The effects of such low species richness on stream ecosystem function are not well understood. Here, we provide data on community structure and leaf litter breakdown rate in a virtually pristine stream on a remote island in the eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. The Yela River catchment on Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia, is uninhabited, completely forested, and not traversed by any road. At each of 5 sampling stations along the Yela River we measured physical and chemical variables, characterized the benthic invertebrate community, and estimated the relative abundance of macroconsumers (fishes, shrimps, and snails) using snorkeling surveys and trapping. Benthic invertebrate biomass decreased with stream size and was dominated by macroconsumers (i.e., decapods and gastropods). Benthic insect species richness and density were extremely low, characterized by the complete absence of Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, and Plecoptera, with nonshredding larval Chironomidae making up similar to 85% of the exceptionally low insect biomass (similar to 0.6 mg dry mass/m). Six species each of fishes and shrimps and 4 snail species were found. We examined the functional role of these noninsect macroconsumers in organic matter processing by comparing litter breakdown rates inside and outside electrified macroconsumer-excluding quadrats at a single site in the lower Yela River. Breakdown rates were slow relative to those reported in most tropical litter decay studies (k = 0.004-0.018 among quadrats). Despite differences in macroconsumer density (p = 0.01), the leaf breakdown rate was not significantly different between reference and electrified treatments (p=0.77). Thus, macroconsumers at this site had neither a direct role in shredding nor an indirect effect on leaf breakdown through their interactions with any nonexcluded taxa. In the absence of a significant role played by insect or macroconsumer shredders, leaf litter breakdown in streams of remote Pacific oceanic islands might be driven purely by physical and microbial processes. Our results suggest that biogeographic processes have placed some Pacific island streams at the extreme low end of a continuum of shredder biodiversity and biomass, restricting the ecosystem function of their species-poor communities.

Vegetable oils are recognized as rapidly biodegradable and are thus promising candidates for use as base fluids in formulation of environment friendly lubricants. Although many vegetable oils have excellent lubricity, they often have poor oxidation and low temperature stability. Here in, we report the lubricant potential of Moringa oil, which has 74% oleic acid content and thus possess improved oxidation stability over many other natural oils. For comparison, Jatropha oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil and sunflower oil were also studied. Among these oils, Moringa oil exhibits the highest thermo-oxidative stability measured using PDSC and TG. Canola oil demonstrated superior low temperature stability as measured using cryogenic DSC, pour point and cloud point measurements. The friction and wear properties were measured using HFRR. Overall, it was concluded that Moringa oil has potential in formulation of industrial fluids for high temperature applications.

(Diptera: Muscidae) SO JOURNAL OF VECTOR ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE House fly; Musca domestica; trapping ID CHEMICAL ATTRACTANTS; FLY AB A comparison of nine commercial baited fly traps on Florida dairy farms demonstrated that Terminator traps collected significantly more (13,323/trap) house flies (Musca domestica L.) than the others tested. Final Flight, Fly Magnet, and FliesBeGone traps collected intermediate numbers of flies (834-2,166), and relatively few were caught with ISCA, Advantage, Fermone Big Boy, Squeeze & Snap, or OakStump traps (<300). Terminator traps collected about twice as many flies (799.8/trap) as FliesBeGone traps (343.8) when each trap was baited with its respective attractant, but when the attractants were switched between the two trap types, collections were significantly lower (77-108) than was observed with traps baited with their respective attractant. Solutions of molasses were significantly more attractive to house flies than honey, maple syrup, or jaggery (date palm sugar). Field-expedient traps constructed from discarded PET water bottles were much less effective than commercial traps, but painting the tops of such traps with black spray paint resulted in a six-fold increase in trap capture.

TI In situ immune infrared fluorescent staining for detection and quantitation of bluetongue virus in Culicoides insect cell culture SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGICAL METHODS LA English DT Article DE Bluetongue virus; Culicoides cell culture; In situ fluorescent staining ID LINKED-IMMUNOSORBENT-ASSAY; VARIIPENNIS DIPTERA; CERATOPOGONIDAE; LINES; TITRATION AB Bluetongue virus (BTV) is transmitted to sheep, cattle and other ruminants by Culicoides spp. of biting midges. Cell lines have been developed from Culicoides sonorensis; however, techniques to detect and quantitate viable virus directly in these insect cells are lacking. In situ immune infrared fluorescent staining techniques were developed to visualize and quantitate BTV infection in Culicoides cell culture by both an endpoint titration and an agarose overlay fluorescent focus assay. Insect cell cultures infected with BTV were fixed, permeabilized and reacted with virus-specific monoclonal antibody and fluorescent-labeled secondary antibody. Virus replication in the infected cells was visualized and quantitated by measuring fluorescence with an infrared imager. The sensitivity of virus detection in insect cell culture using these techniques was comparable to or better than detection by standard techniques in vertebrate cell culture.

TI The C Terminus of the Polerovirus P5 Readthrough Domain Limits Virus Infection to the Phloem SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID POTATO-LEAFROLL-VIRUS; WESTERN YELLOWS VIRUS; DEVELOPING TOBACCO-LEAVES; MINOR CAPSID PROTEIN; CELL-TO-CELL; APHID TRANSMISSION; COAT PROTEIN; TRANSGENIC PLANTS; MOVEMENT PROTEIN; NICOTIANA-CLEVELANDII AB Poleroviruses are restricted to vascular phloem tissues from which they are transmitted by their aphid vectors and are not transmissible mechanically. Phloem limitation has been attributed to the absence of virus proteins either facilitating movement or counteracting plant defense. The polerovirus capsid is composed of two forms of coat protein, the major P3 protein and the minor P3/P5 protein, a translational readthrough of P3. P3/P5 is required for insect transmission and acts in trans to facilitate long-distance virus movement in phloem tissue. Specific potato leafroll virus mutants lacking part or all of the P5 domain moved into and infected nonvascular mesophyll tissue when the source-sink relationship of the plant ( Solanum sarrachoides) was altered by pruning, with the progeny virus now being transmissible mechanically. However, in a period of months, a phloem-specific distribution of the virus was reestablished in the absence of aphid transmission. Virus from the new phloem-limited infection showed compensatory mutations that would be expected to restore the production of full-length P3/P5 as well as the loss of mechanical transmissibility. The data support our hypothesis that phloem limitation in poleroviruses presumably does not result from a deficiency in the repertoire of virus genes but rather results from P3/P5 accumulation under selection in the infected plant, with the colateral effect of facilitating transmission by phloem-feeding aphid vectors.

TI Early Control of H5N1 Influenza Virus Replication by the Type I Interferon Response in Mice SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID ANTIVIRAL CYTOKINE RESPONSES; CHEMOKINE GENE-EXPRESSION; SINGLE-AMINO-ACID; A-VIRUS; NS1 PROTEIN; HONG-KONG; MOUSE MODEL; ALPHA-INTERFERON; HUMAN MACROPHAGES; MOLECULAR-BASIS AB Widespread distribution of highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza viruses in domesticated and wild birds continues to pose a threat to public health, as interspecies transmission of virus has resulted in increasing numbers of human disease cases. Although the pathogenic mechanism(s) of H5N1 influenza viruses has not been fully elucidated, it has been suggested that the ability to evade host innate responses, such as the type I interferon response, may contribute to the virulence of these viruses in mammals. We investigated the role that type I interferons (alpha/beta interferon [IFN-alpha/beta]) might play in H5N1 pathogenicity in vivo, by comparing the kinetics and outcomes of H5N1 virus infection in IFN-alpha/beta receptor (IFN-alpha/beta R)-deficient and SvEv129 wild-type mice using two avian influenza A viruses isolated from humans, A/Hong Kong/483/97 (HK/483) and A/Hong Kong/486/97 (HK/486), which exhibit high and low lethality in mice, respectively. IFN-alpha/beta R-deficient mice experienced significantly more weight loss and more rapid time to death than did wild-type mice. HK/486 virus caused a systemic infection similar to that with HK/483 virus in IFN-alpha/beta R-deficient mice, suggesting a role for IFN-alpha/beta in controlling the systemic spread of this H5N1 virus. HK/483 virus replicated more efficiently than HK/486 virus both in vivo and in vitro. However, replication of both viruses was significantly reduced following pretreatment with IFN-alpha/beta. These results suggest a role for the IFN-alpha/beta response in the control of H5N1 virus replication both in vivo and in vitro, and as such it may provide some degree of protection to the host in the early stages of infection.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) caused by FMD virus (FMDV) is a severe, highly communicable viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals, including both domestic and wild ruminants. Early detection of the disease may reduce economic loss and loss of susceptible wildlife. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of IRT to detect possible heat changes associated with sites of infection with FMDV in experimentally infected mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). Infection occurred through either inoculation with FMDV or exposure to inoculated animals. Early vesicular lesions were observed on the mouth, feet, or both within 24 hrs postinoculation and 48-96 hrs post-exposure. From internal temperature sensors, the exposed animals' body temperatures elevated significantly from the pre-infection temperature (38.8 degrees C, P <= 0.002) starting the day before any lesions were observed. Body temperature was also found not to be significantly different from eye temperatures of well-focused thermograms. For feet thermograms, the mean of the daily maximum (MMAX) foot temperature rose significantly (P = 0.017) from two days before (27.3 degrees C +/- 1.9 degrees C SE) to the maximum MMAX observed (33.0 degrees C +/- 2.0 degrees C SE) at two days after the first foot lesion occurrence. These observed changes indicate that IRT may be a rapid, remote, and noninvasive method to screen for suspect animals in order to test further for FMDV infection during an FMD outbreak.

Current methods require capturing and restraining animals, which can be cost-prohibitive, fail to collect sufficient samples or change animal ranging behaviors. Herein, we describe a novel, cost-effective and non-invasive method, using bait enriched with stable isotopes to mark the hair of American martens Martes americana. Captive martens that consumed isotopically labeled glycine exhibited significant and progressive enrichment in the isotopic signature of (13)C, (15)N and (2)H in both whole blood and hair. A distinct mark in hair, > 2 standard deviations above natural abundance, occurred within 14 days of the second dose. The rate of isotopic labeling of hair was higher in spring, possibly because labeled amino acids became diluted among the many hairs growing during the autumn. Because hair and feathers can be collected non-invasively from large geographic areas without capturing animals, this labeling method can be used to mark and study the movement and dispersal rates of animals across landscapes efficiently.

When media were amended with dried hops or hops extract (30.7% lupulone), ammonia production by mixed rumen bacteria was inhibited. The growth and ammonia production of pure cultures (Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, Clostridium aminophilum, or Clostridium sticklandii) was inhibited by 30 ppm lupulone at pH 6.7, and bactericidal activity was observed at pH 5.6. When hops extract was added to energized cell suspensions, the intracellular pH rapidly decreased and intracellular potassium was lost. The three HAB species were sensitive to the antimicrobial components in hops, and the inhibition of ammonia production by mixed rumen bacteria indicates that similar effects could be expected in the rumen. As much as half of the amino acids consumed by ruminants can be lost due to microbial degradation in the rumen. This study supports the idea that biologically active plant metabolites can be used to mitigate this wasteful process. C1 Univ Kentucky, USDA ARS, Forage Anim Prod Res Unit, Lexington, KY 40546 USA.

Sprinklers were applied to lactating dairy cattle on two farms at either the feedbunk or in the holding pen prior to milking. Faecal samples were collected approx. 1 and 4 weeks following initiation of sprinkler treatments for culture of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Enterococcus. No treatment differences were observed for E. coli O157:H7. Salmonella was higher (P = 0.11) in the control treatment on day-7 whereas on day-28, the bunk sprinklers increased the number of Salmonella positive cows. Salmonella prevalence decreased (P = 0.0001) on day-5 and when examined across days in cows exposed to sprinklers prior to milking. Antimicrobial susceptibility screening found very few isolates that were multi-drug resistant. All Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin. This study demonstrated a significant decrease in faecal prevalence of Salmonella in lactating cattle following exposure to sprinklers administered prior to milking. Identification of current dairy management techniques that are also effective in reducing on-farm prevalence of pathogenic bacteria could have significant food safety and environmental implications.

Recent efforts to improve SIT control of this species have centred on the development of genetically transformed strains using the piggyBac transposon vector system. Eight transgenic strains were produced incorporating an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) marker gene under polyubiquitin regulation that has the potential for use as a genetic marking system for released males. The transgenic strains were genetically and phenotypically characterized, including for life fitness parameters and mating competitiveness. These characteristics were unique for each strain and thus some strains were deemed suitable for incorporation into SIT eradication programmes. The strain with the best attributes is designated 'CLAY'. Four of the strains, including CLAY, have been successfully cryopreserved so that their original characteristics should be unchanged when further evaluation is required. With the demonstration of efficient germ-line transformation in NWS, allowing production of fit and competitive transformants, it is now possible to consider further transgenic strain development to improve SIT that are currently being tested in other dipteran species. This includes strains that allow genetic marking with fluorescent proteins, genetic sexing by female lethality, male-specific fluorescent sorting and male sterility by testis-specific lethality. The SIT may also be improved upon by new strategies resulting in lethality of offspring of released insects using conditional lethal systems based upon temperature-dependent or dietary tetracycline regulation of lethal gene expression. Both the creation of new NWS transgenic strains and the ecological safety of their release will be enhanced by new vector systems that allow specific genomic targeting of vector constructs and their subsequent immobilization, ensuring transgene and strain stability.

As all these methyl-branched compounds have two asymmetric carbons and four possible enantiomers, characterization of the natural enantiomers was essential. All four enantiomers for the two most bioactive isomers of the natural sex pheromone were synthesized for bioassay. Hydrolysis and derivatization of these enantiomers with different fluorescent reagents was followed by column-switched high-performance liquid chromatography. The use of two linked, reversed-phase columns of different polarity held at sub-ambient temperatures allowed good separation of each enantiomer. This analysis applied to natural material was successful, as (6R,19R)-6-acetoxy-19-methylnonanocosane, and (7R,15R)- and (7R,15S)-7-acetoxy-15-methylnonanocosane were detected in extracts of recently colonized female flies.

TI Metabolic profiling of transgenic wheat over-expressing the high-molecular-weight Dx5 glutenin subunit SO METABOLOMICS LA English DT Article DE Transgenic wheat; Storage protein; GC-MS; Multivariate analysis ID INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS; AGRONOMIC PERFORMANCE; NETWORKS; TRANSFORMATION; PLANTS; GENES; PATHWAYS; SYSTEMS; BARLEY; IMPACT AB The primary aim of this work was to evaluate potential changes in the metabolic network of transgenic wheat grain over-expressing the high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin Dx5-subunit gene. GC-MS and multivariate analyses were used to compare the metabolite profiles of developing caryopses of two independently transformed lines over-expressing Dx5 and another two independently transformed lines expressing only the selectable-marker gene (controls). Developing grain at 7, 14 and 21 Days Post-Anthesis (DPA) was studied to observe differences in metabolically active tissues. There was no distinction between the Dx5 transformants and the controls by principal component analysis (PCA) suggesting that their metabolite compositions were similar. Most changes in metabolite levels and starch occurred at 14 DPA but tapered off by 21 DPA. Only 3 metabolites, guanine, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and Unknown 071306a, were altered due to Dx5 expression after correction for false discovery rates (P < 0.0005). However, discriminant function analysis (DFA) and correlative analyses of the metabolites showed that Dx5-J, which had the highest level of Dx5 protein in ripe caryopses, could be distinguished from the other genotypes. The second aim of this work was to determine the influence of gene transformation on the metabolome. Cross-comparison of the transformed controls to each other, and to the Dx5 genotypes showed that approximately 50% of the metabolic changes in the Dx5 genotypes were potentially due to variations arising from gene transformation and not from the expression of the Dx5-gene per se. This study therefore suggests the extent to which plant transformation by biolistics can potentially influence phenotype.

Many of the fogs have occurred in association with prescribed burning. Direct measurements of superfog (fog reducing visibility to less than 3 m) were taken during burning of forest litter on 22 March 2003. Visibility was measured at 0.1 m implying all extinction coefficient of 39120 km(-1). The number of condensation nuclei required for fog to produce the observed visibility was about 1% of the number of particles released in wood smoke as reported in the literature. A recursive non-gradient mixing model shows (1) maximum excess liquid water (LWC) released was approximately 7.0 g kg(-1), 23 times the LWC in natural fog, (2) superfog can form at the site of combustion then continue to form as it drifts downwind, and (3) superfog can modify air mass stability near the ground and persist for hours until dispersed by changing wind conditions or by solar heating after sunrise.

In Pasteurella multocida, an opportunistic pathogen which causes diseases of economic importance in a wide range of animal species, sialic acid uptake plays a role in a mouse model of systemic pasteurellosis. To further investigate the importance of sialic acid uptake in sialic acid uptake mutants of an avian strain of P. multocida P-1059 (A:3) were constructed, pathogenesis, characterized, and an in-frame sialic acid uptake deletion mutant was assessed for virulence in turkeys. Inactivation of sialic acid uptake resulted in a high degree of attenuation when turkeys were challenged either intranasally or intravenously. Resistance of the sialic acid uptake mutant to killing by turkey serum complement was similar to that of the parent, suggesting other mechanisms are responsible for attenuation of virulence in turkeys.

It also plays an important role in a series of physiological processes such as apoptosis and proliferation. Although previous studies have demonstrated that nicotine modulates the morphology and function of mitochondria, the mechanism(s) underlying these effects is largely unknown. In this study, using a microarray consisting of 4793 clones derived from a mouse dopamine cDNA library, we profiled the gene expression patterns for six brain regions (amygdala, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, striatum and ventral tegmental area) of female Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to nicotine treatment for 7 days through osmotic minipump infusion. We identified a number of genes and pathways, including components of the electron transport system of mitochondria, such as cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (Mt-co1), Mt-co2, Mt-co3, cytochrome b (Mt-cyb), mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 4 (Mt-nd4), and Mt-nd6, that were significantly modulated by nicotine in multiple brain regions. Bioinformatics analysis provided evidence that Gene Ontology categories related to the electron transport system were overrepresented in each brain region. Finally, the results from the microarray analysis were verified by quantitative RTPCR for four representative genes. Together, our findings imply that mitochondria are involved in neuronal adaptation to chronic nicotine exposure. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. and Mitochondria Research Society. All rights reserved.

To test this hypothesis, we conducted a phylogeographical analysis of the North American red fox within its presettlement range. We sequenced portions of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (354 bp) gene and D-loop (342 bp) from 220 historical red fox specimens. Phylogenetic analysis of the cytochrome b gene produced two clades that diverged c. 400 000 years before present (bp): a Holarctic and a Nearctic clade. D-loop analyses of the Nearctic clade indicated three distinct subclades (>= 99% Bayesian posterior probability); two that were more recently derived (rho estimate c. 20 000 bp) and were restricted to the southwestern mountains and the eastern portion of North America, and one that was older (rho estimate c. 45 000 bp) and more widespread in North America. Populations that migrated north from the southern refugium following deglaciation were derived from the colonization of North America during or prior to the Illinoian glaciation (300 000-130 000 bp), whereas populations that migrated south from the northern refugium represent a more recent colonization event during the Wisconsin glaciation (100 000-10 000 bp). Our findings indicate that Nearctic clade red foxes are phylogenetically distinct from their Holarctic counterparts, and reflect long-term isolation in two disjunct forest refugia during the Pleistocene. The montane lineage, which includes endangered populations, may be ecologically and evolutionarily distinct.

Large-scale oligonucleotide arrays for use in such analytical studies are currently under development; however, the implementation of this approach generally requires substantial time and financial resources. To address the need for a more accessible tool for fungal community profiling and broad diagnostics, we evaluated the potential utility of a reverse dot blot approach utilizing macroarray targets and probes that each consisted of a PCR product of the entire fungal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 gene region. Samples used to generate the array targets included both culturable and non-culturable fungi and fungal-like protists representing a range of ecological functions. Tests performed using single-species probes within the genus Pythium demonstrated that taxonomic lineages could generally be distinguished when ITS DNA sequence similarity differed by greater than 5-10%. An artificially constructed community probe of known composition successfully detected eight of the 10 lineages contained on the array with only one clear false positive in 95 targets. The approach was also successfully applied to environmental samples. Taxa resident in the soil of a local orchard were identified using the array and matched those documented in previous studies. Closely related taxa from a previously uncharacterized and geographically distant orchard soil were also identified by the array and had affinities to Leptodontium, Cadophora, Zalerion, and Geomyces. These taxa were further confirmed to be present in the sample by cloning and DNA sequencing. A minority of lineages had DNA targets with low melting temperatures which were not detected on the arrays except under conditions that compromised specificity. Membrane-based ITS macroarrays coupled with community ITS probes possessed sufficient power to detect multiple genus-level lineages of fungi in complex samples and should have broad applications in the study of fungal communities.

Nine rootstocks including 'Caribbean Red Habanero', 'PA-136', 'Keystone Resistant Giant', 'Yolo Wonder', 'Carolina Wonder', 'Charleston Hot', 'Mississippi Nemaheart', 'Carolina Cayenne', and 'Charleston Belle', were grafted to the commercial variety 'Aristotle' as a scion, and inoculated with Meloidogyne incognita. 'Aristotle' ungrafted and 'Aristotle' self-grafted plants were included as controls. Graft compatibility was assessed by measuring plant growth, while nematode infestation was assessed using a gall index, and extraction and quantification of juveniles from roots and soil. Stem weight of the scion 'Aristotle' was impacted by the use of different rootstocks, and root weight of the rootstocks varied, however, no rootstock/scion incompatibility occurred. The rootstocks 'Charleston Hot', 'Carolina Wonder', 'Charleston Belle', 'Mississippi Nemaheart' and 'Carolina Cayenne' were consistently resistant to galling by M. incognita in all experiments, while 'Aristotle' ungrafted, 'Aristotle' self-grafted, 'PA-136', and 'Caribbean Red Habanero' were consistently susceptible to galling. Cultivars 'Yolo Wonder' and 'Keystone Resistant Giant' varied in their responses, with reduced galling in one experiment. Grafting a commercial bell pepper variety scion on nematode resistant rootstock has potential to reduce damage caused by M. incognita and contribute to root-knot nematode management as a component in sustainable crop production systems.

In this study, estimates of juvenile salmon abundance in 511 habitat units within 25 reaches of 12 streams were made over 4 years and juxtaposed with measurements of physical habitat at the habitat unit. reach. and watershed scales. Fish ranged ill size from about 50 to 160 turn fork length. The amount of variation among densities differed by species and geographic scale. For most Species, tire habitat unit scale accounted for the most variation. Relationships between salmon density and measurements at the habitat unit scale varied. At the reach scale, we observed a negative relationship between abundance of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch parr and number of pools. A positive relationship appeared between coho salmon parr and large wood. At the watershed scale, a positive relationship was observed between coho salmon parr and valley morphology. Valley morphology also entered the model for cutthroat trout O. clarkii. Differences in salmonid densities observed between northern and southern watersheds were attributed to differences ill landforms, geology. and soils among islands ill southeast Alaska. Simple habitat measures, such as pool counts, were not good predictors of fish abundance. However geomorphic measures from multiple scales that are accompanied by estimates of fish abundance can provide managers with an integrated picture of watershed productivity and a better means to evaluate features that influence productivity.

Repeated surveys showed that, in both streams, radio-tagged carcasses moved, on average. only a short distance. even after high-flow events, the maximum observed movement being 1.14 km after 77 d. In-channel wood and slow-water habitats contributed most to the retention of carcasses. The amount of wood that was incorporated into Jams of medium and high complexity (including accumulated pieces of small wood) was the best predictor of the proportion of carcasses that would be retained within a given length of stream, whereas the amount of pool habitat contributed to a lesser degree. A particular high-complexity debris jam. however, confounded the use of hand-placed carcasses to predict the distribution of movements of helicopter-dropped carcasses by retaining almost all carcasses that encountered it. As in other studies, our results demonstrate the importance of wood in retaining salmon carcasses and show that complexity in the form of branches and accumulated small wood makes wood jams effective carcass collectors.

TI Use of Ice-Water and Salt Treatments to Eliminate an Exotic Snail, the Red-Rim Melania, from Small Immersible Fisheries Equipment SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article ID MELANOIDES-TUBERCULATA MULLER; HETEROPHYID TREMATODE; AQUATIC SNAIL; UNITED-STATES; HONG-KONG; FISH; TOLERANCE; GILLS AB Ice-water and salt treatments were evaluated for disinfection of, small immersible fisheries equipment contaminated with a nonindigenous tropical snail, the red-rim melania Melanoides tuberculatus. This introduced species can displace native snails and transmit trematodes directly to fish and indirectly to other animals. including humans. The red-rim melania has a well-developed operculum that protects it from desiccation and allows it to remain viable for days oil dry fisheries equipment. Treatments were produced by adding 10 kg of salt and 33.3 kg of ice to 66.6 L of water (salt-ice-water [SIW]) or by adding 40 kg of ice to 32 L. of water (ice-water only [IW]) and were tested tor various periods (0.17 min to 24 h) to find exposures that would kill 100% of the treated snails. Temperatures produced in the test containers ranged from -6.3 degrees C to -2.4 degrees C for SIW and from 0 degrees C to 4.9 degrees C for IW. The survival of snails in saltwater-only (SW) treatments (10 kg of NaCl in 100 L of water) was also tested. Three size-groups of snails were tested: 2-4-, 15-20-mm, and 30-40-mm shelf heights. Exposure periods that resulted ill an estimated 0% survival for the 15-20-mm snails were 35.8 min for SIW, 179.6 min for IW, and 423.6 min for SW. The calculated amounts time (regression analysis) required to kill 100% of the three size-groups of snails exposed to the SIW treatment were 17.8 min for 30-40-mm snails, 35.8 min for 15-20-mm snails, and 67.5 min for 2-4-mm snails.

Black cherry and red maple were the most abundant saplings with 416.5 +/- 25.7 and 152.9 +/- 16.8 stems per acre, respectively. Models of black cherry height and diameter showed significant negative relationships (P < 0.05) with residual tree basal area. In addition, height, diameter, and basal area of dominant and codominant black cherry and black birch saplings were inversely related to residual tree basal area (P < 0.05), as was the basal area of red maple saplings. Alternatively, red maple sapling diameter had a significant positive relationship (P < 0.05) with residual basal area, and height was not significantly affected. Findings suggest that overall stand conditions were most favorable for the development of shade-tolerant red maple, with shade-intolerant species developing well in open areas. However, the long-term development of black cherry may he jeopardized by side shade and canopy cover. Removal of residual trees and subsequent cleaning operations are recommended to increase growth rates of shade-intolerant sapling regeneration.

TI Financial Incentive Programs' Influence in Promoting Sustainable Forestry in the Northern Region SO NORTHERN JOURNAL OF APPLIED FORESTRY LA English DT Article DE private forest landowners; incentive programs; cost-share programs; property tax ID PRIVATE FORESTRY; POLICY TOOLS; INVESTMENT; LANDOWNERS AB Selected forestry officials in each of the 20 northern states were surveyed concerning their opinions on the public and private financial incentive programs available to nonindustrial private forest owners in their state. The officials were asked to name and describe the programs and to assess forest owners' awareness of each one, its appeal among the owners aware of it, its effectiveness in encouraging sustainable forestry and enabling owners to meet their objectives, and the percentage of program practices that remain in place and enrolled acres that remain in forest over time. They also were asked to suggest ways to improve the programs. The Forest Stewardship, Forest Land Enhancement, and Forest Legacy Programs were among the top-rated federal programs, scoring well for all measures and attributes. Programs sponsored by states and private organizations tended to be more narrowly targeted than federal programs and scored well for specific attributes. The forestry officials' suggestions for program improvement centered largely on program visibility and availability, increasing and ensuring long-term consistency in program funding, and simplifying the application and approval processes.

Once adjusted for sapwood area, northern white-cedar basal area growth was not strongly affected by site or light exposure class; growth was similar to that of red spruce but generally lower than that of balsam fir. Site index did not differ appreciably among soil drainage classes for red spruce and northern white-cedar, although small sample size limited analysis on upland site classes. Incidence of central decay was higher in northern white-cedar than balsam fir, which was higher than red spruce. Incidence of decay in outwardly sound northern white-cedar and balsam fir was highest on well-drained mineral soils, and mean proportion of basal area decayed at breast height increased in outwardly sound northern white-cedar as drainage improved from poorly drained to well-drained soils. These data suggest that northern white-cedar on lowland organic and poorly drained mineral soils in Maine have less decay, similar basal area growth, and similar site index relative to upland northern white-cedar communities.

Results indicate that foresters think many variables impact windthrow, often interacting in complex ways. Foresters considered topographic exposure, species, soil moisture, and aspect as the more important factors to consider when trying to mitigate windthrow in RMZs. In general, perceptions and rankings of windthrow, factors by foresters are in agreement with the published literature. Based on foresters' perceptions, recommendations are provided to assist forest resource managers in making decisions about retaining trees within streamside RMZs.

We conducted capture and acoustic surveys for bats throughout Southeast Alaska in 2005 and continued surveys on Prince of Wales Island in 2006. We documented capture success, relative abundance, morphology, and periods of reproduction for each species. Capture success varied by species, location, and type of capture site. Little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus; Le Conte 1831) were captured most frequently, followed by California myotis (M. californicus; Audubon and Bachman 1842), Keen's myotis (M. Keenii; Merriam 1895), and long-legged myotis (M. volans; Allen 1866). We captured little brown myotis throughout the region, Keen's and California myotis as far north as Juneau, and long-legged myotis in the southern part of the region. Silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans; Le Conte 1831) were not captured, but were sighted on Prince of Wales Island and acoustic data indicate they may occur as far north as Juneau. Based on low rates of detection, all species appear to occur in low densities in Southeast Alaska. Better understanding of population status and trends, habitat ecology, and response to forest management is needed to identify essential habitat elements and prioritize conservation strategies in this region.

TI Branch and Crown Dimensions of Douglas-Fir Trees Harvested from Old-Growth Forests in Washington, Oregon, and California During the 1960s SO NORTHWEST SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID BRITISH-COLUMBIA; CANOPY STRUCTURE; WESTERN OREGON; MODEL; BIOMASS; FOLIAGE; STANDS; LONG; AREA AB In temperate rainforests of western North America, some second-growth forests are managed to promote development of the multi-dimensional structures observed in old-growth forests. Information about tree architecture from across a range of growing conditions is needed to support this goal. Accordingly, branch and crown dimensions associated with tree age, site index, and stand basal area are reported for 854 Douglas-fir trees, which were harvested from old-growth forests in Washington, Oregon, and northern California in the 1960s. Sample trees ranged from 38-647 years old. The average diameter and the relative height of the first live and dead branch increased with tree age. In contrast, only weak relations existed between live crown ratio, which was highly variable, and tree age or site index. Differences between old Douglas-fir trees and younger trees with an equivalent breast-height diameter (dbh) were greatest in the dimensions of their first branches. Between ages 100 to 500 yr, for example, the mean first live branch on a 127cm dbh tree was estimated to more than double in diameter-from 3.1 to 6.6 cm-at a basal area of 114 m(2)/ha. Despite the limitations associated with inherited data, study results have silvicultural implications for managed Douglas-fir forests because they indicate that crown morphologies of large, young trees were not the same as their similarly sized, older counterparts on sites spanning a range of average natural stand density conditions within the Douglas-fir region.

TI Behavior of Red Tree Voles (Arborimus longicaudus) Based on Continuous Video Monitoring of Nests SO NORTHWEST SCIENCE LA English DT Article AB We used video cameras to observe the activity patterns and behavior of three female red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) and their young in arboreal nests in western Oregon. Observation periods at the three nests were 63, 103 and 148 days. All three voles were primarily nocturnal, but occasionally foraged for brief periods during the day when they had large young in the nest. The median time when voles began and ended activity was 95 min after sunset and 168 min before sunrise, respectively. The median amount of time spent outside the nest at night was 27 min (range = 0-712 min), and most of this time was spent foraging. Nocturnal activity consisted primarily of long periods inside the nest interspersed with short periods of intensive foraging, during which voles ran out of the nest, harvested cuttings and hauled them back to the nest. Cuttings were stored inside the nest or on top of the nest. The mean number of foraging bouts per night was 3.4 +/- 0.1 (range = 1-13), and the mean number of cuttings harvested per night was 20.4 +/- 3.5 (range = 0-75). Females harvested more cuttings when they had large young in the nest and there was no evidence that they ate anything but the needles and bark of the cuttings that they brought to their nests. All three females produced litters while we observed them (1, 2, and 3 litters, respectively). Juveniles first began to explore outside the nest when they were 30-35 days old and dispersed when they were 47-54 days old. During the last two weeks before they dispersed the juveniles spent considerable time outside the nest at night, becoming increasingly adept climbers and gradually beginning to harvest their own food. Dispersal of siblings occurred on the same night and appeared to be precipitated by female aggression towards the young.

We predicted that home range areas would be larger in young forests than in old forests and that males would have larger home ranges and use more nests than females. We tracked individual voles for 82 +/- 9 days (mean +/- SE; range = 24-307 days). Voles were active primarily at night, although we did see voles outside their nests during the day on two occasions. Of the 45 voles, 18 (4 males, 14 females) occupied a single nest tree and adjacent foraging trees that had interconnecting branch pathways with the nest tree. The other 27 voles (11 males, 16 females) used >= 2 nest trees (range = 2-6). Average distance between alternate nests use by individuals was 45 +/- 5 m (range = 4-162 m). Estimates of mean (+/- SE) and median home range size were 1,732 +/- 366 m(2) and 760 m(2), respectively (range = 36-10,308 m(2)). Little variation in home range size was explained by gender or age of voles, or by forest age. However, females occupied fewer nests and made fewer movements between nest trees than males. Male home ranges were larger than females during late winter and spring during the peak breeding period (2,475 +/- 1,076 m(2) and 790 +/- 239 m(2), respectively). We did not detect use of ground nests by radiocollared voles, but we did document occasional cases where voles moved on the ground between nest trees.

Stroke is a leading cause of death in developed countries. However, current therapeutic strategies for stroke have been largely unsuccessful. Several studies have reported important benefits on reducing the risk of stroke and improving the post-stroke-associated functional declines in patients who ate foods rich in micronutrients, including B vitamins and antioxidant vitamins E and C. Folic acid, vitamin B(6) and vitamin B(12) are all cofactors in homocysteine metabolism. Growing interest has been paid to hyperhomocysteinaemia as a risk factor for CVD. Hyperhomocysteinaemia has been linked to inadequate intake of vitamins, particularly to B-group vitamins and therefore may be amenable to nutritional intervention. Hence, poor dietary intake of folate, vitamin B(6) and vitamin B(12) are associated with increased risk of stroke. Elevated consumption of fruits and vegetables appears to protect against stroke. Antioxidant nutrients have important roles in cell function and have been implicated in processes associated with ageing, including vascular, inflammatory and neurological damage. Plasma vitamin E and C concentrations may serve as a biological marker of lifestyle or other factors associated with reduced stroke risk and may be useful in identifying those at high risk of stroke. After reviewing the observational and intervention studies, there is an incomplete understanding of mechanisms and some conflicting findings; therefore the available evidence is insufficient to recommend the routine use of B vitamins, vitamin E and vitamin C for the prevention of stroke. A better understanding of mechanisms, along with well-designed controlled clinical trials will allow further progress in this area.

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have been hypothesized to contribute to such swelling in cultures. We investigated the protective effects of polyphenol-rich green tea extract (GTE) on key features of ischemic injury namely cell swelling, nitric oxide (NO) production, and depolarization of the inner mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta psi(m)) C6 glial cultures were subjected to 5-h oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and cell volume was determined using the 3-O-methyl-glucose method. At 90 min after the end of OGD, cell volume increased by > 33% and this increase was attenuated by GTE but not by the individual polyphenol components including catechin, epicatechin, or epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). However, a combination of catechin, epicatechin and EGCG prevented swelling. OGD-induced increase in NO was further increased by GTE. OGD-induced decline in.. m was also attenuated by green tea extract, EGCG and a combination of catechin, epicatechin and EGCG but not by catechin or epicatechin alone. Our findings indicate a protective effect of GTE in cell swelling in ischemic injury and such protective effects may be mediated by its effect on the mitochondria. It appears that effects on cell swelling are mediated by the concerted action of more than one of the individual components of GTE.

These effects may be the result of the polyphenols increasing antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory levels, or by direct effects on signaling, in the brain. Increased dietary intake of berry fruit, in particular, has a positive and profound impact on human health, performance, and disease. Thus, the present study examined a 2% blackberry-supplemented diet for its effectiveness in reversing age-related deficits in behavioral and neuronal function when fed to aged (19-month-old) Fischer 344 rats for 8 weeks. The results showed that the blackberry diet improved motor performance on three tasks which rely on balance and co-ordination: the accelerating rotarod, wire suspension, and the small plank walk. Results for the Morris water maze showed that the blackberry-fed rats had significantly greater working, or short-term, memory performance than the control rats. These data support our previous investigations in which we have seen improved motor and cognitive performance in aged rats after supplementation with other berry fruits.

In many N deposition-C sequestration experiments, N is added directly to the soil, bypassing canopy processes and potentially favoring N immobilization by the soil. To understand the impact of enhanced N deposition on a low fertility unmanaged forest and better emulate natural N deposition processes, we added 18 kg N ha(-1) year(-1) as dissolved NH(4)NO(3) directly to the canopy of 21 ha of spruce-hemlock forest. In two 0.3-ha subplots, the added N was isotopically labeled as (15)NH(4) (+) or (15)NO(3) (-) (1% final enrichment). Among ecosystem pools, we recovered 38 and 67% of the (15)N added as (15)NH(4) (+) and (15)NO(3) (-), respectively. Of (15)N recoverable in plant biomass, only 3-6% was recovered in live foliage and bole wood. Tree twigs, branches, and bark constituted the most important plant sinks for both NO(3) (-) and NH(4) (+), together accounting for 25-50% of (15)N recovery for these ions, respectively. Forest floor and soil (15)N retention was small compared to previous studies; the litter layer and well-humified O horizon were important sinks for NH(4) (+) (9%) and NO(3) (-) (7%). Retention by canopy elements (surfaces of branches and boles) provided a substantial sink for N that may have been through physico-chemical processes rather than by N assimilation as indicated by poor recoveries in wood tissues. Canopy retention of precipitation-borne N added in this particular manner may thus not become plant-available N for several years. Despite a large canopy N retention potential in this forest, C sequestration into new wood growth as a result of the N addition was only similar to 16 g C m(-2) year(-1) or about 10% above the current net annual C sequestration for this site.

TI The relation of plasma homocysteine to radiographic knee osteoarthritis SO OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE LA English DT Article DE Homocysteine; Knee CA; Incidence; Progression ID HORDALAND HOMOCYSTEINE; JOINT-SPACE; HOMOCYSTINURIA; FRACTURE; RISK; HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA; MINERALIZATION; DETERMINANTS; PREGNANCY; OUTCOMES AB Objective: Homocysteine has been implicated in multiple diseases that involve changes in structural tissue. In vitro studies have found that it alters the structure of collagen cross-linking thus affecting stability and mineralization such as that occurring in bone tissue. In the present study we considered the possible relationship between plasma homocysteine levels and the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: The study question was posed in 691 men and 966 women from the original and offspring cohorts of the Framingham Osteoarthritis Study. We divided individuals into three groups according to plasma homocysteine levels and compared their risk for the development of new and progression of existing OA. We adjusted for potential confounders including age, body mass index, weight change, and physical activity. Results: In the crude analysis, men in the middle homocysteine tertile were found to be at a greater risk than men in the lowest tertile for incident OA [odds ratios of 1.9 (1.1-3.5)). This result persisted after adjusting for covariates [odds: 2.0, (1.1-3.8)]. No significant correlation was seen in women for the development of OA. In the evaluation of progression no significant trends were seen for both men and women. Conclusions: Although cellular and molecular studies of homocysteine-related pathophysiology suggest a possible correlation between plasma homocysteine levels and OA, the present clinical study did not conclusively demonstrate such an association. However, further research is needed to explore the role of homocysteine in specific aspects of CA etiopathogenesis. (C) 2008 Osteoarthritis Research Society International. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Potato cultivar Desiree was transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens with LBA4404pBinplusPLRV-replicase construct. A total of 25 lines were generated from kanamycin-resistant calli. Shoots were excised and placed onto shoot medium containing 250mg/L cefotaxime and 50mg/L kanamycin sulfate in tissue culture tubes. Genomic DNA was extracted from shoot samples and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was done using specific primers. A total of 116 plants of 25 lines were tested and most of the plants were positive showing a band of 449bp specific to PLRV-replicase gene insert. The plants showing maximum PCR reaction were selected. Potato cultivar Desiree and Norkotah Russet were also transformed using two constructs containing a coat protein gene of PVY (RC4pBinPAubi3P and RC435S). The efficiency of transformation of Desiree with RC435S was high but only a few lines of Norkotah Russet were generated with RC4pBinPAubi3P construct. A total of 13 lines of Desiree were generated from kanamycin resistant calli using RC435S PVY CP construct. On the basis of PCR analysis of 42 putative transformants, 28 plants were selected for further propagation and evaluation of resistance against respective virus isolates. All of the transgenic clones containing PLRV-replicase gene constructs showed lesser rates of infection by PLRV from field exposure than the cultivars used as control. C1 [Thomas, P. E.; Crosslin, J.

The time kinetic of the peptides applied in double distilled water (DDW) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was tested and the activities of topically applied and injected peptides were compared. The results clearly indicated that all four peptides were highly potent but with differing activities in the two solvents: PBAN was most active in water, and Pt in DMSO. The activity of PBAN in DDW lasted up to 8 h post-application and its activity in this solvent showed a faster onset and a longer persistence than in DMSO. LPK and MT differed less in their kinetics between the two solvents. Topically applied PBAN at 1 nmol exhibited an equivalent or even significantly higher potency than the injected peptide at several different times post-treatment. Similar results were obtained with topically applied and injected LPK The present results add important information on the bioavailability, of unmodified linear peptides in moths, clearly indicate that linear hydrophilic peptides can penetrate the cuticle by contact application in aqueous solutions and in organic solvents very efficiently, reach their target organ and activate it.

The genetic basis of imiclacloprid resistance was investigated in N. lugens. RESULTS: The resistant strain, selected for imiclacloprid resistance from a field population of N. lugens collected from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, showed a 964-fold resistance compared with the laboratory strain. Progenies of reciprocal crosses (F(1) and F(1)') showed similar dose-mortality responses (LC(50)) to imiclacloprid, and also exhibited a similar degree of dominance (D), 0.58 for F, and 0.63 for F(1)'. Chi-square analyses of self-bred and backcross progenies (F(2), F(2)' and BC respectively) rejected the hypothesis for a single gene control of the resistance. The estimated realized heritability (h(2)) of imiclacloprid resistance was 0.1141 in the resistant strain of N. lugens. CONCLUSION: The results showed that imiclacloprid resistance in N. lugens was autosomal and was expressed as an incompletely dominant trait, probably controlled by multiple genes.

RESULTS: Bromoxynil K(d) values ranged from 0.7 to 1.4 L kg(-1) and were positively correlated with soil organic carbon. Cumulative mineralization (38.5% +/- 1.5), bound residue formation (46.5% +/- 0.5) and persistence of extractable residues (T(1/2) < 1 day) in non-autoclaved soils were independent of tillage and depth. Autoclaving decreased mineralization and bound residue formation 257-fold and 6.0-fold respectively. Bromoxynil persistence in soil was rate independent (T(1/2) < 1 day), and the majority of non-extractable residues (87%) were associated with the humic acid fraction of soil organic matter. CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of tillage or depth, bromoxynil half-life in native soil is less than 1 day owing to rapid incorporation of the herbicide into non-extractable residues. Bound residue formation is governed principally by biochemical metabolite formation and primarily associated with soil humic acids that are moderately bioavailable for mineralization. These data indicate that the risk of off-site transport of bromoxynil residues is low owing to rapid incorporation into non-extractable residues. Published 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A wax-based matrix was developed that provides the longevity needed for field use and is biodegradable. RESULTS: Laboratory bioassays with the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), confirmed the efficacy of bait stations containing avermectin, methomyl, spinosad and phloxine B. Field cage studies demonstrated that significant mortality occurred with either 1% (w/v) spinosad or 1% (w/v) methomyl bait stations versus pesticide-free bait stations. Bait stations were exposed to environmental conditions by placing them in trees at the ARS station in Miami, Florida, between tests. There was no loss in efficacy, in spite of exposure to over 360 mm of rainfall over the 56 days of the study, indicating that the bait stations could provide population suppression for at least 1-2 months when used in subtropical environments. CONCLUSION: A long-lasting, female-targeted fruit fly bait station, such as the one developed herein, could provide a cost-effective option for fruit fly population suppression that would be an important tool in tephritid pest management and control. Additional studies are needed to demonstrate efficacy against wild fruit fly populations and determine deployment strategies. Published 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Multi-temporal Landsat TM imagery and ancillary topographic data were used for mapping this invasion over portions of Utah. Tobit, logit, probit, and Projection Adjustment by Contribution Estimation (PACE) regression, neural networks, and additive regression of regression trees were tested individually, and in an ensemble, Tobit regression had the best performance as an individual predictor. Tobit was most frequently the best predictor of zero cheatgrass coverage. A meta-predictor (classifier) to choose the best predictive model was implemented on a pixel-by-pixel basis. A J48 classification tree as a meta-predictor resulted in an increase in accuracy over the best performer in the ensemble. This study illustrated the potential for meta-prediction as a general technique for increasing accuracy from a collection of base predictors.

The rate of photosynthesis declines at moderately high temperatures in plants and particularly in temperate species like Arabidopsis thaliana. This can be attributed to a reduced ability of Rubisco activase to achieve optimum activation of Rubisco, leading to reduced Rubisco activity. In order to overcome this problem, we transformed the Arabidopsis rca mutant with a more thermostable, chimeric activase where a Rubisco recognition domain in the more thermostable tobacco activase was replaced with that from Arabidopsis. Transgenic lines expressing this activase showed higher rates of photosynthesis than the wild type after a short exposure to higher temperatures and they also recovered better, when they were returned to the normal temperature. Moreover, under extended exposure to moderately elevated temperature, the transgenic lines had higher biomass and seed yield when compared with the wild type plants.

To understand nutrient digestion in E. rufulus larvae, digestive proteinases are compared in both larvae fed heartwood phloem and those transferred to artificial diet. The pH of gut extracts is approximately 6.3 in the midgut and foregut and decreases to 5.5 in the hindgut region. The hydrolysis of casein by midgut extracts from E. rufulus larvae fed either artificial diet or phloem from tree sections increases in buffers greater than pH 6.19, with maximum hydrolysis being observed at pH 10.1. Casein zymogram analysis reveals two major proteinase activities in larval midgut extracts of diet-fed larvae, with molecular masses of approximately 25 and 40-60 kDa, whereas phloem-fed larvae have proteinase activities corresponding to 40, 45, 60, 80 and > 100 kDa. Substrate analysis indicates at least one major trypsin-like activity in both gut extracts with a molecular mass of > 100 kDa, but two chymotrypsin-like activities of approximately 25 and > 200 kDa are found only in diet-fed larvae. Inhibitors of serine proteinases are most effective in reducing the general proteolytic activity of midgut extracts from larvae fed either food source. The data indicate that serine proteinase inhibitors have the potential to reduce E. rufulus larval damage to oaks. In particular, transgenic technologies incoporating trypsin inhibitors may be effective in reducing protein digestion in phloem-feeding larvae.

The present study aims to determine food deprivation effects on carbohydrate levels and their relation to feeding responses to spinosad bait (GF-120((R)) Naturalyte((R)) Fruit Fly Bait; Dow AgroSciences, Indianapolis, Indiana), as measured indirectly by mortality, in western cherry fruit fly Rhagoletis indifferens Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae). Sugar levels in 1-2-day-old flies exposed to sugar for 1 h and then deprived of sugar for 10-24 h decrease but, in flies with access to continuous sugar and no sugar, they increase and do not change, respectively. Sugar levels in 14-15-day-old flies that have had free access to yeast extract and sugar and are then deprived of it for 0 and 10 h do not differ but they are lower at 24 and 30 h. Mortalities of 1-2-day-old flies exposed to sugar for 1 h and then deprived of it for 0-24 h progressively increase but they do not increase in flies given no sugar because the mortalities in this treatment are equally high at all times. By contrast, mortalities of 14-15-day-old flies deprived of food increase from 0 to 10-30 h but there are no differences from 10 to 30 h. Mortalities of 14-15-day-old flies deprived of food for 3 and 6 h also do not differ. Food deprivation effects on glycogen are similar, although glycogen occurs at lower levels than sugar. The results obtained suggest that R. indifferens flies need to feed multiple times on carbohydrate foods during the day to maintain their carbohydrate levels, that their responses to spinosad bait will increase if they do not, and that there may be age-related effects on carbohydrate levels and responses to spinosad bait.

Microarray gene expression profiles of fasting induced changes in liver and adipose tissues of pigs expressing the melanocortin-4 receptor D298N variant. Physiol Genomics 38: 98-111, 2009. First published April 14, 2009; doi:10.1152/physiolgenomics.90372.2008.-Transcriptional profiling coupled with blood metabolite analyses were used to identify porcine genes and pathways that respond to a fasting treatment or to a D298N missense mutation in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene. Gilts (12 homozygous for D298 and 12 homozygous for N298) were either fed ad libitum or fasted for 3 days. Fasting decreased body weight, backfat, and serum urea concentration and increased serum nonesterified fatty acid. In response to fasting, 7,029 genes in fat and 1,831 genes in liver were differentially expressed (DE). MC4R genotype did not significantly affect gene expression, body weight, backfat depth, or any measured serum metabolite concentration. Pathway analyses of fasting-induced DE genes indicated that lipid and steroid synthesis was downregulated in both liver and fat. Fasting increased expression of genes involved in glucose sparing pathways, such as oxidation of amino acids and fatty acids in liver, and in extracellular matrix pathways, such as cell adhesion and adherens junction in fat. Additionally, we identified DE transcription factors (TF) that regulate many DE genes. This confirms the involvement of TF, such as PPARG, SREBF1, and CEBPA, which are known to regulate the fasting response, and implicates additional TF, such as ESR1. Interestingly, ESR1 controls several fasting induced genes in fat that are involved in cell matrix morphogenesis. Our findings indicate a transcriptional response to fasting in two key metabolic tissues of pigs, which was corroborated by changes in blood metabolites, and the involvement of novel putative transcriptional regulators in the immediate adaptive response to fasting.

Ammonium sulfate, gel filtration, and cation exchange chromatography were used to purify the enzyme. Both chromatographic methods revealed a single peak corresponding to PG activity. The purified PG most likely originates from the fungus because PG activity from healthy and wounded apple tissue was undetectable. Analysis of cation exchange-purified material using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single 50-kDa band. The enzyme was active over a broad pH range (3 to 7), with optimal activity between pH 4 and 5. PG was highly active at 20 and 37 degrees C but was also detectable at 2, 50, and 75 degrees C. Divalent cations affected PG enzyme activity; Mg and Fe increased, whereas Ca and Mn reduced activity in vitro. Thin-layer chromatographic separation of hydrolysis products and data from a PG plate activity assay based on staining with ruthenium red showed that the enzyme exhibits both exo and endo activity. Purified PG incubated with intact apple fruit tissue in vitro caused a 30% reduction in mass after 48 h, suggesting a role in P. solitum-mediated decay of apple fruit.

TI Simultaneous Detection of Acidovorax avenae subsp citrulli and Didymella bryoniae in Cucurbit Seedlots Using Magnetic Capture Hybridization and Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction SO PHYTOPATHOLOGY LA English DT Article ID GUMMY STEM BLIGHT; BACTERIAL FRUIT BLOTCH; PCR-BASED ASSAY; IMMUNOMAGNETIC SEPARATION; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; QUANTITATIVE PCR; DNA; WATERMELON; AMPLIFICATION; SAMPLES AB To improve the simultaneous detection of two pathogens in cucurbit seed, a combination of magnetic capture hybridization (MCH) and multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed. Single-stranded DNA hybridization capture probes targeting DNA of Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli, causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch, and Didymella bryoniae, causal agent of gummy stem blight, were covalently attached to magnetic particles and used to selectively concentrate template DNA from cucurbit seed samples. Sequestered template DNAs were subsequently amplified by multiplex real-time PCR using pathogen-specific TaqMan PCR assays. The MCH multiplex real-time PCR assay displayed a detection threshold of A. avenae subsp. citrulli at 10 CFU/ml and D. bryoniae at 10(5) conidia/ml in mixtures of pure cultures of the two pathogens, which was 10-fold more sensitive than the direct real-time PCR assays for the two pathogens separately. Although the direct real-time PCR assay displayed a detection threshold for A. avenae subsp. citrulli DNA of 100 fg/mu l in 25% (1/4 samples) of the samples assayed, MCH real-time PCR demonstrated 100% detection frequency (4/4 samples) at the same DNA concentration. MCH did not improve detection sensitivity for D. bryoniae relative to direct real-time PCR using conidial suspensions or seed washes from D. bryoniae-infested cucurbit seed. However, MCH real-time PCR facilitated detection of both target pathogens in watermelon and melon seed samples (n = 5,000 seeds/sample) in which 0.02% of the seed were infested with A. avenae subsp. citrulli and 0.02% were infested with D. bryoniae.

Periodically, biocontrol agents encounter inhospitable conditions for growth on plants; consequently, tolerance of environmental stresses may contribute to their fitness. In many gram-negative bacteria, including strains of Pseudomonas spp., the capacity to survive environmental stresses is influenced by the stationary phase sigma factor RpoS. This study focused on the role of RpoS in stress response and epiphytic fitness of Pseudomonas fluorescens A506, a well-studied bacterial biological control agent. We detected a frameshift mutation in the rpoS of A506 and demonstrated that the mutation resulted in a truncated, nonfunctional RpoS. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we deleted a nucleotide from rpoS, which then encoded a full-length, functional RpoS. We compared the stress response and epiphytic fitness of A506 with derivative strains having the functional full-length RpoS or a disrupted, nonfunctional RpoS. RpoS had little effect on stress response of A506 and no consistent influence on epiphytic population size of A506 on pear or apple leaves or flowers. Although the capacity of strain A506 to withstand exposure to environmental stresses was similar to that of other fluorescent pseudomonads, this capacity was largely independent of rpoS.

TI Role of RpoS in Stress Tolerance and Environmental Fitness of the Phyllosphere Bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Strain 122 SO PHYTOPATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE floral surfaces ID SIGMA-FACTOR RPOS; ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCTION; BIOLOGICAL-CONTROL; FIRE BLIGHT; GENE; PUTIDA; PF-5; AERUGINOSA; CHA0; SYRINGAE AB Bacteria living epiphytically on aerial plant surfaces encounter severe and rapidly fluctuating environmental conditions, and their capacity to withstand environmental stress contributes to epiphytic fitness. The stationary phase sigma factor RpoS is a key determinant in stress response of gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas spp. This study focused on the role of RpoS in stress response and epiphytic fitness of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 122 on aerial plant surfaces. RpoS had a significant role in the response of the phyllosphere bacterium P. fluorescens 122 to stresses imposed by desiccation, UV irradiation, starvation, and an oxidative environment. While significant, the difference in stress response between an rpoS mutant and the parental strain was less for strain 122 than for the rhizosphere bacterium P. fluorescens Pf-5. No consistent influence of RpoS on epiphytic population size of strain 122 on pear or apple flowers or leaves was observed in field trials. These data may indicate that P. fluorescens occupies protected microsites on aerial plant surfaces where the bacteria escape exposure to environmental stress, or that redundant stress-response mechanisms are operating in this bacterium, thereby obscuring the role of RpoS in epiphytic fitness of the bacterium.

TI Field Assessment of a Model for Fungicide Effects on Intraplant Spread of Stem Rust in Perennial Ryegrass Seed Crops SO PHYTOPATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE disease management ID YIELD LOSS; WHEAT; PHENOLOGY; MANAGEMENT; DURATION AB Intraplant spread of stem rust (Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola) in perennial ryegrass during tiller extension is a major determinant of epidemic severity and is dominated by stem extension dynamics. Simple equations for extension of inflorescence and internodes are presented and parameterized. These equations are combined with previously published equations for pathogen latent period and for postinfection efficacy of fungicides to produce a model for effects of fungicide type and timing on intraplant spread. The model is driven by thermal units, calculated from air temperature measurements. Three field experiments, conducted independently from the field experiments that provided data for plant growth model parameterization, were conducted to assess performance of the disease spread model. Either propiconazole or azoxystrobin, the two most commonly used fungicides for stem rust control, was applied to tillers that had stem rust pustules on the flag sheath and in which the inflorescence was partially extended. Intraplant spread of disease to the extending inflorescence (stem and flowerhead) was observed at several dates following treatment and compared with modeled severities. The model estimated accurately the severities of inflorescence infection for most treatments and observation times, with a correlation coefficient of 0.93 for modeled versus observed disease severities across the three experiments. The model correctly estimated the rank order of final severities among the treatments (fungicide type and timing). The model can be extended to intraplant spread of stem rust at all internodes and incorporated into decision support tools for fungicide type and timing in management of this disease. C1 [Pfender, W.

In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of P. ramorum on the West Coast of the United States, focusing particularly on population differentiation potentially indicative of gene flow. In total, 576 isolates recovered from 2001 to 2005 were genotyped at 10 microsatellite loci. Our analyses of genetic diversity and inferences of reproductive mode confirm previous results for the Oregon and California populations, with the strong majority of the genotypes belonging to the NA1 clonal lineage and showing no evidence for sexual reproduction. The high incidence of genotypes shared among populations and the lack of genetic structure among populations show that important large-scale, interpopulation genetic exchanges have occurred. This emphasizes the importance of human activity in shaping the current structure of the P. ramorum population on the West Coast of the United States. C1 [Prospero, S.; Hansen, E.

The objective of this study was to determine the number of genetically differentiated groups of P. triticina that are currently present in North America. In total, 148 isolates of P. triticina from the 1980s to 2005 were collected from wheat-growing regions of the United States and Canada and tested for virulence on 20 lines of wheat with single genes for leaf rust resistance and for molecular genotype with 23 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. In total, 91 virulence phenotypes and 65 SSR genotypes were found. After removal of isolates with identical virulence and SSR genotypes, 125 isolates were included for further analysis. Bayesian cluster analysis indicated five different groups of isolates based on SSR genotypes that also differed for virulence to leaf rust resistance genes Lr2a, Lr2c, Lr3bg, Lr17, and Lr28. Isolates avirulent to Lr14a and Lr20 that have increased since 2003 had SSR genotypes identical or similar to older isolates in one of the five groups, indicating that these isolates were derived by mutation from the previously existing population of P. triticina. The representative collection of P. triticina isolates had characteristics consistent with an asexual dikaryotic population of genetically differentiated groups of SSR genotypes with high levels of heterozygosity and disequilibrium within which stepwise mutation at avirulence or virulence loci regularly occurs.

A. corsicum and A. montanum plants were grown for 30 days in a serpentine Hoagland solution. NiO was provided at 0 or 0.1 g L(-1) (1.34 mmol L(-1)) as reagent grade NiO particles < 1 mu m diameter, continuously mixed by aeration. A. corsicum and A. montanum shoots contained 19.4 and 5.2 mg Ni kg(-1) DW with NiO, and 3.0 and 1.1 mg Ni kg(-1) DW shoots, respectively in the control treatment. A. corsicum normally absorbs over 12,000 mg Ni kg(-1) shoots when supplied 300 mu M soluble Ni. Roots were coated with the NiO particles and contained 3-5% Ni at harvest. Despite the small Ni accumulation in the NiO treatment above control, A. corsicum is not capable of dissolving and hyperaccumulating Ni from NiO.

Information on combining ability and type of gene action that governs inheritance of seed traits can help breeders to select suitable parents and devise an appropriate breeding strategy. Ten vegetable soybean accessions were crossed in a complete diallel mating design. Parent lines and F(2) and F(3) progenies were evaluated for two nutritional components. In this study, both general and specific combining ability and reciprocal effects were significant for sucrose and total sugar. Cultivars 'Kanrich', 'Pella', 'Verde' and V81-1603 had good general combining ability for high sucrose. In general, high sucrose content was observed in progeny of the early maturity group genotypes 'Kanrich', 'Pella' and 'Verde'. The best combiners for high total sugar content were 'Verde', V81-1603 and PI 399055. These genotypes could serve as genetic sources in a vegetable soybean breeding programme.

To develop resistant clones, the potential for early generation selection was studied using three basic selection methods, individual, family, and within family selection, for two clonal generations. A total of 152 clones were derived from four cross types (2x x 2x, 2x x 4x, 4x x 2x and 4x x 4x). Clones were evaluated for maturity, symptom expression, yield and stem colonization in replicated trials. Heritability and selection response for the traits were estimated for each selection method. Direct selection in the second clonal generation and individual selection showed more gain than that from other methods. Both 2x x 2x and 4x x 2x families were higher yielding and had lower stem colonization scores than 2x x 4x and 4x x 4x crosses. Therefore, 2x x 2x or 4x x 2x crosses between carefully chosen parents with high yield and VW resistance may produce offspring with superior performance. C1 [Jansky, S.

Using a combination of double mutant analysis and biochemistry, we found that in maize (Zea mays), KN1 negatively modulates the accumulation of gibberellin (GA) through the control of ga2ox1, which codes for an enzyme that inactivates GA. The ga2ox1 mRNA level is elevated in immature leaves of dominant KNOX mutants and downregulated in reproductive meristems of the null allele kn1-e1. KN1 binds in vivo to an intron of ga2ox1 through a cis-regulatory element containing two TGAC motifs. VP16-KN1 activates transcription in planta from a chimeric promoter containing this binding site. The domains of expression of kn1 and ga2ox1 mRNAs overlap at the base of the shoot apical meristem and the base of newly initiated leaves, suggesting that KN1-mediated activation of ga2ox1 maintains a boundary between meristem cell identity and rapidly elongating cells of the shoot. The KN1 binding site is conserved in ga2ox1 genes of different grasses, suggesting that the local regulation of bioactive GA levels through KNOX proteins is a common theme in grasses.

We are developing a floral transformation protocol for wheat that does not require tissue culture. This paper presents three transformants in the hard red germplasm line Crocus that have been characterized thoroughly at the molecular level over three to six generations. Wheat spikes at the early boot stage, i.e. the early, mid or late uninucleate microspore stages, were immersed in an infiltration medium of strain C58C1 harboring pDs(Hyg)35S, or strain AGL1 harboring pBECKSred. pDs(Hyg)35S contains the NPTII and hph selectable markers, and transformants were detected using paromomycin spray at the whole plant level, NPTII ELISAs, or selection on medium with hygromycin. Strain AGL1, harboring pBECKSred, which contains the maize anthocyanin regulators, Lc and C1, and the NPTII gene, was also used to produce a Crocus transformant. T1 and T2 seeds with red embryos were selected; T1 and T2 plants were screened by sequential tests for paromomycin resistance and NPTII ELISAs. The transformants were low copy number and showed Mendelian segregation in the T2. Stable transmission of the transgenes over several generations has been demonstrated using Southern analysis. Gene expression in advanced progeny was shown using Reverse Transcriptase-PCR and ELISA assays for NPTII protein expression. This protocol has the potential to reduce the time and expense required for wheat transformation. C1 [Zale, Janice M.; Agarwal, S.; Loar, S.] Univ Tennessee, Dept Plant Sci, Knoxville, TN 37996 USA.

AB A genetic transformation protocol for green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) hypocotyl explants was developed. Green ash hypocotyls were transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring binary vector pq35GR containing the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) fusion gene, and an enhanced green fluorescent protein gene. Pre-cultured hypocotyl explants were transformed in the presence of 100 mu M acetosyringone using 90 s sonication plus 10 min vacuum-infiltration. Kanamycin at 20 mg l(-1) was used for selecting transformed cells. Adventitious shoots regenerated on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 13.3 mu M 6-benzylaminopurine, 4.5 mu M thidiazuron, 50 mg l(-1) adenine sulfate, and 10% coconut water. GUS- and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive shoots from the cut ends of hypocotyls were produced via an intermediate callus stage. Presence of the GUS and nptII genes in GUS-positive shoots were confirmed by PCR and copy number of the nptII gene in PCR-positive shoots was determined by Southern blotting. Three transgenic plantlets were acclimatized to the greenhouse. This transformation and regeneration system using hypocotyls provides a foundation for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of green ash. Studies are underway using a construct containing the Cry8Da protein of Bacillus thuringiensis for genetic transformation of green ash.

TI Association of 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' with Zebra Chip Disease of Potato Established by Graft and Psyllid Transmission, Electron Microscopy, and PCR SO PLANT DISEASE LA English DT Article ID SYNDROME BASSES RICHESSES; 16S RDNA; PENTASTIRIDIUS-SP; GREENING DISEASE; UNITED-STATES; CAUSAL AGENT; NEW-ZEALAND; SUGAR-BEET; 1ST REPORT; PHYTOPLASMA AB A new disease of potatoes, tentatively named zebra chip (ZC) because of the intermittent dark and light symptom pattern in affected tubers which is enhanced by frying, was first found in Mexico in 1994 and in the southwestern United States in 2000. The disease can cause severe economic losses in all market classes of potatoes. The cause of ZC has been elusive, and only recently has been associated with 'Candidatus Liberibacter' sp. Field samples of potato plants were collected from several locations in the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala to determine transmission to potato and tomato by grafting of ZC-infected scions and psyllid feeding. The disease was successfully transmitted, through up to three generations, by sequential top- and side-grafting ZC-infection scions to several potato cultivars and to tomato. The disease was also successfully transmitted to potato and tomato plants in greenhouse experiments by potato psyllids collected from potato plants naturally affected with ZC. Transmission electron microscopic observation of ZC-affected tissues revealed the presence of bacteria-like organisms (BLOB) in the phloem of potato and tomato plants inoculated by grafting and psyllid feeding. The BLOB were morphologically similar in appearance to BLOB associated with other plant diseases. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified 16S rDNA sequences from samples representing different geographic areas, including the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala, were almost identical to the 16S rDNA of 'Ca. L. solanacearum previously reported from solanaceous plants in New Zealand and the United States. Two subclades were identified that differed in two single base-pair substitutions. New specific primers along with an innovative rapid PCR were developed. This test allows the detection of the bacteria in less than 90 min. These data confirm the association of 'Ca. L. solanacearum' with potatoes affected by ZC in the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. C1 [Secor, G. A.; Rivera, V. V.] N Dakota State Univ, Dept Plant Pathol, Fargo, ND 58105 USA. [Abad, J.

TI Comparative Susceptibility of Kudzu Accessions from the Southeastern United States to Infection by Phakopsora pachyrhizi SO PLANT DISEASE LA English DT Article ID SOYBEAN RUST; PUERARIA-LOBATA; VIRULENCE AB Soybean rust. caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, was first discovered in the continental United States in the fall of 2004. The potential for economic loss in the United States hinges largely on whether or not the pathogen can survive winters in the absence of soybean. Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) is known to be a host for P. pachyrhizi in Asia and South America and is widely distributed in the southern United States. This study examined reactions of kudzu collected from several areas of the southeastern United States to three isolates of P. pachyrhizi, one each from Alabama. Louisiana, and Brazil. Susceptible tan (TAN) lesions, resistant reddish-brown (RB) lesions, and immune (IM) response, previously described on soybean, were produced on kudzu based on the evaluation of 125 plants. However, in contrast to soybean, the RB response on kudzu was common, with approximately 50% frequency. IM responses to at least one isolate were observed on five individual plants, and two plants were immune to all three pathogen isolates used in the test. TAN lesions averaged 3.2 uredinia per lesion with an average diameter per uredinium of 121 mu m. In contrast, RB lesions had an average of 0.3 uredinia per lesion with an average uredinial diameter of 77 mu m. In 25 of 39 (64%) instances in which multiple plants were tested from a site, each reacted the same to the individual pathogen isolates. This suggested a tendency for plants at specific sites to be genetically identical with respect to rust reaction. Only 19 of 125 (15%) individual plants produced a different reaction to one isolate than to the other two isolates. When four kudzu plants previously shown to produce only TAN lesions to P pachyrhizi isolates Alabama 04-1, Brazil 01-1, and Louisiana 04-1 were inoculated with eight additional isolates from several areas of the world, all 11 isolates produced only TAN lesions. Likewise. when five other plants previously shown to produce only RB lesions when inoculated with the three isolates were inoculated with the 11 isolates, all produced only RB lesions. These results suggest that susceptibility or resistance to P. pachyrhizi in individual kudzu plants often is broad, extending over a wide range of P. pachyrhizi isolates. C1 [Bonde, M. R.; Nester, S.

Based on Biolog carbon source metabolic "fingerprinting", fatty acid analysis, and sequence analysis of partial 16S rDNA, gyrB, and rpoD genes, the causal agent of the disease was identified as Burkholderia andropogonis. Pathogenicity of these B. andropogonis isolates taken from multiple citrus leaves with BBLS was tested by various inoculation methods on three species of citrus as well as on carnation, corn, and sorghum. All isolates infected carnation, corn, and sorghum with varying degrees of pathogenicity. Variation among citrus isolates in pathogenicity was also observed in high titer (10(8) CFU/ml) inoculations of citrus leaves, ranging from a hypersensitive-like response to canker-like lesions. When the inoculum concentration was low (10(6) CFU/ml), only necrotic spots or small lesions slowly developed with all strains. Growth of B. andropogonis in citrus was relatively slow, tissue wounding appeared necessary for symptom appearance with many isolates, and field samples were recovered only after severe storms, indicating that this wide-host-range bacterium is a weak, opportunistic pathogen of citrus.

In 2006 and 2007, 30 or more commercial sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) cultivars were grown in soil naturally infested with BNYVV. At harvest, two root samples from each plot were collected and used to establish percent sugar. Additional samples were placed on top of an indoor pile (set point 1.7 degrees C) and inside an outdoor pile in a randomized complete block design with four replications. After 142 and 159 days in indoor storage, sucrose reduction ranged from 13 to 90% in 2007 and 57 to 100% in 2008. Outdoor storage sucrose reduction ranged from 13 to 32% in 2007 and 28 to 60% in 2008. An average of 31 and 45% of the root surface was covered with fungal growth in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Cultivars that retained the most sucrose had resistance to BNYVV and the least fungal growth and weight loss. Indoor storage with BNYVV-infested roots allowed for the most consistent cultivar separation and will potentially lead to selection of cultivars for improved storability and rhizomania resistance.

In the present study, R genes to common races of Magnaporthe oryzae, the causal agent of blast disease of rice (Oryza sativa), were mapped using an F(10) recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross of tropical japonica cv. Katy with breeding line RU9101001. Katy was resistant to 10 common U.S. races: IA-45, IB-1, LB-45, IB-49, IB-54, IC-17, ID-1, IE-1, IG-1, and IH-1 of M. oryzae. RU9101001 was resistant to races IA-45, IB-45, IB-54, IG-1, and IH-1. Katy and RU9101001 were susceptible to race IE-1k. Twenty-three polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to map R genes. Segregation ratios of 1:1 (resistant/susceptible) to races IB-1, IB-49, IC-17, ID-1, and IE-1 indicated the presence of a single dominant R gene in Katy. Ratios of 3:1 (resistant/susceptible) to races IA-45. IB-45. IG-1, and IH-1 indicated that a single R gene was present in Katy and a different R gene was present in RU9101001. Resistance to the abovementioned races was correlated with the presences of the Pi-ta gene and 11 Katy SSR alleles, suggesting that Pi-ta confers resistance to IA-45, IB-1, IB-45, IB-49, IC-17, IG-1, ID-1, IE-1, and IH-1. Katy, RU9101001, and all RILs were resistant to race IB-54, which was consistent with the presence of Pi-k(s) in Katy and Pi-k(h) in RU9101001. Resistance to IA-45, IB-45, IG-1, and IH-1 correlated with the presence of Pi-k(h), suggesting that Pi-k(h) confers resistance to IA-45, IB-45, IG-1, and IH-1. These data suggest that Pi-ta and Pi-k(h) are effective R genes with overlapped resistance to the 10 common races of M. oryzae.

To determine whether this gene confers resistance to other geminiviruses, bean plants of a recombinant inbred population were sap-inoculated with Bean dwarf mosaic virus (BDMV), a whitefly-transmitted bipartite begomovirus in the genus Begomovirus. Results indicated that Bct (or tightly linked gene) is associated with quantitative resistance to BDMV; thus, the Bct locus is associated with resistance to a bean-infecting begomovirus and curtovirus. The difference in the nature of the resistance to these geminiviruses may indicate a role for minor genes in begomovirus resistance or differences in the virus-host interaction. The Bct locus, whether it acts alone or represents a cluster of tightly linked genes, will be useful in breeding for broad-spectrum begomovirus resistance in common bean. C1 [Miklas, P.

TI Automated Image Analysis of the Severity of Foliar Citrus Canker Symptoms SO PLANT DISEASE LA English DT Article ID QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT; POWDERY MILDEW; ZEA-MAYS; DISEASE; ACCURACY; QUANTIFICATION; RELIABILITY; LEAVES; SPOT AB Citrus canker (caused by Xanthomonas cirri subsp. citri) is a destructive disease, reducing yield and rendering fruit unfit for fresh sale. Accurate assessment of citrus canker severity and other diseases is needed for several purposes, including monitoring epidemics and evaluation of germplasm. We compared measurements of citrus canker severity (percent area infected) from automated image analysis to visual estimates by raters and true values using images from five leaf samples (65, 123, 50, 50, and 200 leaves; disease severity from 0 to 60%). Severity on leaves was measured by automated image analysis by (i) basing threshold values oil a presample of leaves, or (ii) replacing healthy leaf color on a leaf-by-leaf basis before automating image analysts. Samples I to 4 were assessed by three trained plant pathologists, and sample 5 was assessed by an additional 25 raters. Healthy leaf area color replacement gave the most consistent agreement with the true severity data. Using color replacement, agreement with true values based on Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (rho(c)) was 0.93, 0.79, 0.71, 0.85, and 0.89 for each of the samples, respectively. The range and consistency of agreement was generally less good for automated thresholds based on a presample (rho(c) = 0.35-0.90) or visual raters (rho(c) = 0.30-0.94). The constituents of agreement (precision and accuracy) showed similar trends. No one rater or method was best for every leaf sample, but replacing healthy color in each leaf with a standard color before automation of image analysis improved agreement, and was relatively quick (20 s per image). The accuracy and precision of automated image analysis of citrus canker severity can be comparable to unaided, direct visual estimation by many raters. C1 [Bock, C.

While many species respond to this heterogeneity through root system plasticity, little is known about how the magnitude of these responses may vary between native and invasive species. We quantified root morphological and physiological plasticity of co-occurring native and invasive Great Basin species in response to soil nitrogen heterogeneity and determined if trade-offs exist between these foraging responses and species relative growth rate or root system biomass. The nine study species included three perennial bunchgrasses, three perennial forbs, and three invasive perennial forbs. The plants were grown in large pots outdoors. Once a week for 4 weeks equal amounts of (15)NH(4) (15)NO(3) were distributed in the soil either evenly through the soil profile, in four patches, or in two patches. All species acquired more N in patches compared to when N was applied evenly through the soil profile. None of the species increased root length density in enriched patches compared to control patches but all species increased root N uptake rate in enriched patches. There was a positive relationship between N uptake rate, relative growth rate, and root system biomass. Path analysis indicated that these positive interrelationships among traits could provide one explanation of how invasive forbs were able to capture 2 and 15-fold more N from enriched patches compared to the native grasses and forbs, respectively. Results from this pot study suggest that plant traits related to nutrient capture in heterogeneous soil environments may be positively correlated which could potentially promote size-asymmetric competition belowground and facilitate the spread of invasive species. However, field experiments with plants in different neighbor environments ultimately are needed to determine if these positive relationships among traits influence competitive ability and invader success.

High-copy transposable element systems such as Mutator (Mu) in maize (Zea mays) afford the advantage of high forward mutation rates but pose a challenge for identifying the particular element responsible for a given mutation. Several large mutant collections have been generated in Mu-active genetic stocks, but current methods limit the ability to rapidly identify the causal Mu insertions. Here we present a method to rapidly assay Mu insertions that are genetically linked to a mutation of interest. The method combines elements of MuTAIL (thermal asymmetrically interlaced) and amplification of insertion mutagenized sites (AIMS) protocols and is applicable to the analysis of single mutants or to high-throughput analyses of mutant collections. Briefly, genomic DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme and adapters are ligated. Polymerase chain reaction is performed with TAIL cycling parameters, using a fluorescently labeled Mu primer, which results in the preferential amplification and labeling of Mu-containing genomic fragments. Products from a segregating line are analyzed on a capillary sequencer. To recover a fragment of interest, PCR products are cloned and sequenced. Sequences with lengths matching the size of a band that co-segregates with the mutant phenotype represent candidate linked insertion sites, which are then confirmed by PCR. We demonstrate the utility of the method by identifying Mu insertion sites linked to seed-lethal mutations with a preliminary success rate of nearly 50%.

TI Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Butter Content and Hardness in Cocoa Beans (Theobroma cacao L.) SO PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY REPORTER LA English DT Article DE Butter content; Butter hardness; QTL; Theobroma cacao ID GENETIC-LINKAGE MAP; PHYTOPHTHORA-PALMIVORA; MOLECULAR MARKERS; RESISTANCE; QTL; YIELD; INHERITANCE AB Cocoa butter is an important raw material for the chocolate, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The butter content and quality in cocoa beans are genetically controlled characteristics, and affect its commercial value and industrial applicability. In the present work, an F(2) population derived from the cross between the ICS-1 and Scavina-6 cocoa clones was used for molecular mapping. A linkage map was constructed based on amplified fragment length polymorphism, random amplified polymorphic DNA, and simple sequence repeat markers, resulting in a total of 273 markers, distributed in 14 linkage groups (LGs). Phenotyping of butter content was performed after ether extraction and butter hardness was determined by sweeping differential calorimetry. One quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated to butter content was mapped at linkage group 9 (LG9) and two QTLs for butter hardness were identified at linkage groups 9 and 7 (LG9 and LG7). The two QTLs mapped at the LG9 explained 51.0% and 28.8% of the phenotypic variation for butter content and hardness, respectively. These QTLs were concentrated in the same map region, suggesting a close genetic linkage or pleiotropic effect. The QTLs identified may be useful in further marker-assisted selection breeding programs aimed at cocoa butter quality improvement.

TI Transformation of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with the green fluorescent protein gene and fluorescence of hyphae in four inoculated hosts SO PLANT PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE bean; canola; sclerotinia wilt; soybean; sunflower; white mould ID AGROBACTERIUM-MEDIATED TRANSFORMATION; SCANNING ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY; TRANSGENIC PLANTS; VITAL REPORTER; STEM ROT; EXPRESSION; RESISTANCE; INFECTION; GFP; DISEASE AB To obtain a genetic marker to observe and study the interaction of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with its hosts, isolates ND30 and ND21 were transformed using pCT74 and gGFP constructs, both containing genes for the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and hygromycin B phosphotransferase. Putative transformants were obtained using polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of protoplasts. Seven stable gfp transformants were identified and evaluated for fluorescence in vitro and in planta, pathogenicity and colonization of host tissues. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction detected a single copy of the gfp gene in transformants. Fluorescence was quantified directly from mycelium and protein extracted from hyphae. The seven transformants (four from ND30 and three from ND21) were pathogenic on dry bean, canola, soybean and sunflower. However, depending on the host, three transformants differed significantly (P = 0.05) in the length of lesions formed compared to the wild-type. Hyphae fluoresced in plant tissue and could clearly be distinguished from plant cells. Infection and colonization of tissues were clearly visible with a fluorescent microscope. Transformants differed in the intensity of GFP expression both in vitro and in planta. C1 [de Silva, A. P.; Bolton, M. D.; Nelson, B. D.] N Dakota State Univ, Dept Plant Pathol, Fargo, ND 58108 USA.

TI A Nonsense Mutation in a Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase Gene Is Responsible for the Sorghum brown midrib6 Phenotype SO PLANT PHYSIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ACID O-METHYLTRANSFERASE; BROWN-MIDRIB MUTANTS; LIGNIN MODIFICATION; DOWN-REGULATION; FORAGE SORGHUM; MOLECULAR-CLONING; LOBLOLLY-PINE; LIQUID FUELS; CELL-WALLS; MAIZE AB brown midrib6 (bmr6) affects phenylpropanoid metabolism, resulting in reduced lignin concentrations and altered lignin composition in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Recently, bmr6 plants were shown to have limited cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase activity (CAD; EC 1.1.1.195), the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of hydroxycinnamoyl aldehydes (monolignals) to monolignols. A candidate gene approach was taken to identify Bmr6. Two CAD genes (Sb02g024190 and Sb04g005950) were identified in the sorghum genome based on similarity to known CAD genes and through DNA sequencing a nonsense mutation was discovered in Sb04g005950 that results in a truncated protein lacking the NADPH-binding and C-terminal catalytic domains. Immunoblotting confirmed that the Bmr6 protein was absent in protein extracts from bmr6 plants. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Bmr6 is a member of an evolutionarily conserved group of CAD proteins, which function in lignin biosynthesis. In addition, Bmr6 is distinct from the other CAD-like proteins in sorghum, including SbCAD4 (Sb02g024190). Although both Bmr6 and SbCAD4 are expressed in sorghum internodes, an examination of enzymatic activity of recombinant Bmr6 and SbCAD4 showed that Bmr6 had 1 to 2 orders of magnitude greater activity for monolignol substrates. Modeling of Bmr6 and SbCAD4 protein structures showed differences in the amino acid composition of the active site that could explain the difference in enzyme activity. These differences include His-57, which is unique to Bmr6 and other grass CADs. In summary, Bmr6 encodes the major CAD protein involved in lignin synthesis in sorghum, and the bmr6 mutant is a null allele.

Oils from oleaginous field crops (sunflower and rape) with properties close to those of fossil fuel could constitute an alternative source of energy for the production of raw materials. This is the context in which the 18th International Symposium on Plant lipids (ISPL) was held in Bordeaux from 20th to 25th July 2008 at "La Cite Mondiale". The 18th ISPL gathered 270 researchers from 33 countries. Sixty nine oral communications and 136 posters were presented during the 12 sessions of the Symposium. The sessions have covered all the different aspects of the Plant Lipid field including: Surface lipids: suberin, cutin and waxes, Fatty acids, Glycerolipids, Plant lipids as renewable sources of energy, Seed oils and bioengineering of metabolic pathways, Lipid catabolism, Models for lipid studies: lower plants, micro-organisms and others, Modifications of proteins by lipids, Sphingolipids, sterols and isoprenoids, Lipid signaling and plant stress responses, Lipid trafficking and membrane dynamics, New methods and technologies: functional lipidomics, fluxome, modelling. During the ISPL 2008 Bordeaux, important and new information was reported in the different fields. A selection of these results is presented here. (C) 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

TI A correlation between host-mediated expression of parasite genes as tandem inverted repeats and abrogation of development of female Heterodera glycines cyst formation during infection of Glycine max SO PLANTA LA English DT Article DE eGFP; RNAi ID GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN; PLASMID CCDA PROTEIN; DOUBLE-STRANDED-RNA; SOYBEAN ROOTS; CAENORHABDITIS-ELEGANS; MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION; AGROBACTERIUM-RHIZOGENES; NEMATODE INFECTION; HIGHER-PLANTS; 35S PROMOTER AB Host-mediated (hm) expression of parasite genes as tandem inverted repeats was investigated as a means to abrogate the formation of mature Heterodera glycines (soybean cyst nematode) female cysts during its infection of Glycine max (soybean). A Gateway(A (R))-compatible hm plant transformation system was developed specifically for these experiments in G. max. Three steps then were taken to identify H. glycines candidate genes. First, a pool of 150 highly conserved H. glycines homologs of genes having lethal mutant phenotypes or phenocopies from the free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans were identified. Second, annotation of those 150 genes on the Affymetrix(A (R)) soybean GeneChip(A (R)) allowed for the identification of a subset of 131 genes whose expression could be monitored during the parasitic phase of the H. glycines life cycle. Third, a microarray analyses identified a core set of 32 genes with induced expression (> 2.0-fold, log base 2) during the parasitic stages of infection. H. glycines homologs of small ribosomal protein 3a and 4 (Hg-rps-3a [accession number CB379877] and Hg-rps-4 [accession number CB278739]), synaptobrevin (Hg-snb-1 [accession number BF014436]) and a spliceosomal SR protein (Hg-spk-1 [accession number BI451523.1]) were tested for functionality in hm expression studies. Effects on H. glycines development were observed 8 days after infection. Experiments demonstrated that 81-93% fewer females developed on transgenic roots containing the genes engineered as tandem inverted repeats. The effect resembles RNA interference. The methodology has been used here as an alternative approach to engineer resistance to H. glycines. C1 [Klink, Vincent P.] Mississippi State Univ, Dept Biol Sci, Mississippi State, MS 39762 USA.

Two dehydrins from peach (Prunus persica L. [Batsch.]) have been previously characterized; here, we describe the characterization of a third dehydrin from peach bark, PpDhn3, isolated by its response to low temperature. The expression of all three dehydrin genes was profiled by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and transcript initiation was mapped for all three genes using the RNA ligase-mediated 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends technique. PpDhn3 transcripts from bark collected in December or July, as well as transcripts from developing fruit, initiated at a single site. Although most of the PpDhn1 transcripts initiated at a similar position, those from young fruit initiated much further upstream of the consensus TATA box. Bark and fruit transcripts encoding PpDhn2 initiated ca. 30 bases downstream of a consensus TATA box; however, transcripts from ripe fruit initiated further upstream. Ripe fruit transcripts of PpDhn2 contain a 5' leader intron which is predicted to add some 34 amino acids to the N-terminal methionine of the cognate protein when properly processed. Secondary structure prediction of sequences surrounding the TATA box suggests that conformational transitions associated with decreasing temperature contribute to the regulation of expression of the cold-responsive dehydrin genes. Taken together these results reveal new, unexpected levels of gene regulation contributing to the overall expression pattern of peach dehydrins.

This article discusses the significance of optimizing extraction procedures for accurate assay of phytochemicals from different matrices using bioactive isoflavones as model substrate because isoflavones are known to exist in nature as free aglycones or as conjugates with sugars and/or acids. The wide structural diversity and polarities of free and conjugated isoflavones makes optimum extraction and accurate quantification of isoflavones a challenging task. This paper reviews variables, extraction solvent composition (aqueous-organic solvents mixtures at different acidification levels), physical extraction techniques (Soxhlet, stirring, ultrasonic, microwave, pressurized, supercritical-fluid, high-speed counter-current chromatography), and parameters (temperature, pressure, number of cycles, solid-solvent ratio) that influence quantitative extraction of isoflavones from different matrices. In addition, this review covers a brief overview of structures, sources, bioactivities, separation, and detection used for isoflavones analysis. Optimum extraction efficiencies of isoflavones were obtained with EtOH: H(2)O: DMSO (70: 25: 5, v/v/v) as the extraction solvent and acidification of extraction solvent favored partial degradation of conjugated forms to their corresponding aglycones. Accurate quantification of isoflavones in foods, plants, and dietary supplements will allow researchers and regulators to provide more precise guidelines on dietary intake and safety levels necessary to achieve optimum health.

Honey bee declines could reflect increased pressures from parasites and pathogens. The incidence of the microsporidian pathogen Nosema ceranae has increased significantly in the past decade. Here we present a draft assembly (7.86 MB) of the N. ceranae genome derived from pyrosequence data, including initial gene models and genomic comparisons with other members of this highly derived fungal lineage. N. ceranae has a strongly AT-biased genome (74% A+T) and a diversity of repetitive elements, complicating the assembly. Of 2,614 predicted protein-coding sequences, we conservatively estimate that 1,366 have homologs in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi, the most closely related published genome sequence. We identify genes conserved among microsporidia that lack clear homology outside this group, which are of special interest as potential virulence factors in this group of obligate parasites. A substantial fraction of the diminutive N. ceranae proteome consists of novel and transposable-element proteins. For a majority of well-supported gene models, a conserved sense-strand motif can be found within 15 bases upstream of the start codon; a previously uncharacterized version of this motif is also present in E. cuniculi. These comparisons provide insight into the architecture, regulation, and evolution of microsporidian genomes, and will drive investigations into honey bee-Nosema interactions. C1 [Cornman, R.

TI Evaluation of disinfectants commonly used by the commercial poultry industry under simulated field conditions SO POULTRY SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE disinfectant; poultry; Salmonella; Staphylococcus; phenol ID ENTERIC DISEASES; STRATEGIES AB The correct usage of disinfectants is an important component of a successful biosecurity program. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of time, temperature, and organic matter (OM) on disinfectant efficacy. Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium were used to represent gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria commonly found in commercial poultry housing. The first study evaluated the effect of temperature (4, 20, 32, or 43 degrees C) and time (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 30 wk) on the efficacy of disinfectants diluted to working concentrations. The second study determined the effect of OM on the efficacy of working concentrations of freshly prepared disinfectants against the bacteria. For the third study, we compared the bactericidal properties of freshly prepared disinfectants and 30-wk-old disinfectants in the presence of OM. Quaternary ammonium-, chlorhexidine, phenolic-, and binary ammonium- based solutions represented disinfectants commonly used within the poultry industry. In the first study, all of the disinfectants were effective against S. aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium regardless of treatment. However, the phenolic compound had reduced (P <= 0.05) efficacy against Salmonella Typhimurium after 6 wk of storage at the highest temperature of 43 degrees C and after 16 wk at the second highest temperature of 32 degrees C. All of the disinfectants were effective against S. aureus regardless of temperature treatment. In the second study, the addition of sterile chicken litter had deleterious effects on all 4 classes of disinfectants against Salmonella Typhimurium. Of the disinfectants tested, the phenolic compound retained efficacy against S. aureus. In the third study, the presence of OM significantly reduced (P <= 0.05) the efficacy of the 30-wk-old quaternary ammonium and phenolic compound against Salmonella. The fresh quaternary ammonium and binary compound achieved a greater kill (P <= 0.05) of Staphylococcus, relative to the 30-wk-old disinfectant. These results emphasize the need to use fresh disinfectants and that OM should be removed before disinfection.

TI Use of thermography to screen for subclinical bumblefoot in poultry SO POULTRY SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE bumblefoot; infection; thermography; chicken; welfare ID FOOT-PAD DERMATITIS; RISK-FACTORS; LAYING HENS; HEALTH; PODODERMATITIS; MANAGEMENT; CHICKENS; LAYERS; CAGES AB Thermographic imaging is a noninvasive diagnostic tool used to document the inflammatory process in many species and may be useful in the detection of subclinical bumblefoot and other inflammatory diseases. Bumblefoot is a chronic inflammation of the plantar metatarsal or digital pads of the foot (pododermatitis), or both. It is one of the major health problems in birds including chickens and is responsible for significant economic losses in commercial poultry operations. Early diagnosis of bumblefoot is essential for the prevention of economical loss and the improvement of animal well-being. The object of this study was to determine the suitability of thermography for the identification of subclinical bumblefoot in chickens. Experiment 1 was designed to validate thermography as a tool for screening avian populations for bumblefoot. The plantar surface of the feet of 150 randomly selected hens was imaged using a thermal camera. The thermal images were identified as suspect, positive, or negative for bumblefoot based on thermal patterns of the plantar surface. Visual inspection of the feet identified as suspect followed 14 d later. A visual score of clinical, mildly clinical, or negative for bumblefoot was assigned, based on gross pathological changes in the plantar surface. A correlation between initial thermal images identified as suspect for bumblefoot and a visual score of positive 14 d later was 83% (P < 0.01). In experiment 2, hens whose feet were free of lesions were inoculated in the metatarsal foot pad with Staphylococcus aureus. Thermal images and visual clinical scores were taken, prechallenge and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 d postchallenge. The correlation between thermal images classified as clinical and a visual score of clinical for bumblefoot was 86.7% (P < 0.001). However, the correlation between the thermal images classified as mild (subclinical) and a visual score of mild was only 26.7%, suggesting that thermography is a more sensitive indicator of subclinical infection than visual appraisal. Thermography may thus provide a useful tool for screening avian populations for signs of bumblefoot, early in the course of the disease, which will improve recovery percentages and bird well-being.

The strips on the rack were then loaded into a smokehouse and cooked-dried for either 2.5 or 3.5 h at 73.8 degrees C (165 degrees F) or 1.5 or 2.5 h at 82.2 degrees C (180 degrees F) with constant hickory smoking and without addition of humidity. Cooking-drying marinated turkey jerky at 73.8 degrees C (165 degrees F) or 82.2 degrees C (180 degrees F) resulted in a >= 7.1 log(10) cfu/strip reduction of all 3 pathogens. For nonmarinated jerky strips that were inoculated with E. coli O157: H7 or L. monocytogenes and cooked-dried at 82.2 degrees C (180 degrees F), a reduction of >= 7.4 log(10) cfu/strip was observed, whereas for strips that were inoculated with Salmonella, a reduction of >= 6.8 log(10) cfu/strip was observed. Cooking-drying nonmarinated turkey breast strips at 73.8 degrees C (165 degrees F) for 3.5 h resulted in a reduction of ca. 7.1 to 7.6 log(10) cfu/strip for all 3 pathogens, whereas for strips that were cooked-dried for 2.5 h, a reduction of ca. 5.4 to 6.2 log(10) cfu/strip was observed. Only marinated turkey jerky that was cooked-dried for 3.5 h at 73.8 degrees C (165 degrees F) satisfied the USDA-FSIS standard of identity (moisture: protein <= 0.75:1.0) or shelf-stability (water activity of <= 0.80), or both, requirements for jerky.

TI Effect of dry-air chilling on sensory descriptive profiles of cooked broiler breast meat deboned four hours after the initiation of chilling SO POULTRY SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE broiler; breast muscle; air chilling; immersion chilling; sensory flavor and texture ID CHICKEN CARCASSES; ALLO-KRAMER; QUALITY; POULTRY; TENDERNESS; BONELESS; RIGOR AB The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a dry air-chilling (AC) method on sensory texture and flavor descriptive profiles of broiler pectoralis major (fillet) and pectoralis minor (tender). The profiles of the muscles immersion-chilled and deboned at the same postmortem time and the profiles of the muscles hot-boned (or no chill) were used for the comparison. A total of 108 eviscerated carcasses (6-wk-old broilers) were obtained from a commercial processing line before the chillers. Carcasses were transported to a laboratory facility where they were either i) chilled by a dry AC method (0.7 degrees C, 150 min in a cold room), ii) chilled by immersion chilling (IC; 0.3 degrees C, 50 min in a chiller), or iii) not chilled (9 birds per treatment per replication). Both IC and AC fillets and tenders were removed from the bone at 4 h after the initiation of chilling (approximately 4.75 h postmortem) in a processing area (18 degrees C). The no-chill muscles were removed immediately upon arrival. The sensory properties (21 attributes) of cooked broiler breast meat were evaluated by trained panelists using 0- to 15-point universal intensity scales. The average intensity scores of the 9 flavor attributes analyzed ranged from 0.9 to 4.0. Regardless of breast muscle type, there were no significant differences in sensory flavor descriptive profiles between the 3 treatments. The average intensity scores of the 12 texture attributes ranged from 1.5 to 7.5 and there were no significant differences between the AC and IC samples. The average intensity scores of the texture attributes, cohesiveness, hardness, cohesiveness of mass, rate of breakdown, and chewiness of the no chill fillets and tenders were significantly higher than those of either of the chilled samples. These results demonstrate that chicken breast meat from AC retains sensory flavor profile characteristics but AC results in sensory texture profile differences when compared with no-chill meat. Sensory flavor and texture profiles of AC broiler breast meat do not differ from those of IC samples when the muscles are deboned at the same time after the initiation of chilling.

Before beginning the project, new rubber picker fingers collected from 3 processing facilities were tested for endogenous micro-flora. Five species of bacteria common to soil and human handling were present: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus cereus/thuringiensis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus hominis ssp. novobiosepticus, and Staphylococcus intermedius. In separate experiments, new (unused) rubber picker fingers from 3 manufacturers were exposed to broiler carcass rinses, and the kinetics of bacterial attachment to finger material was determined. Turbidity of the bacterial suspensions at varying dilutions containing picker finger sections was compared hourly with controls to evaluate inhibition. New rubber finger material from the 3 manufacturers significantly inhibited bacterial growth (P < 0.05), without the aid of antibacterial additives. We improved an assay for screening disinfectants against growth of pathogens and determined the activity of 5 disinfectant compounds. Two of the compounds were most effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Escherichia coli, and one of the compounds was selected for further study with Salmonella Enteritidis. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the levels of Salmonella Enteritidis before and after treatment. The most effective compound was nontoxic and completely cleared Salmonella Enteritidis contamination from the rubber picker finger surface. C1 [Arnold, J. W.; Yates, I.

TI Methods of analysis for georeferenced sample counts of tarnished plant bugs in cotton SO PRECISION AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Sampling; Complete enumeration; Poisson regression; Remote sensing; Cotton insect management; Site-specific agriculture ID GENERALIZED LINEAR-MODELS; BOOTSTRAP; FIELDS AB The problem of analyzing georeferenced cotton pest insect samples when a large percentage of the counts are zero is examined. The use of appropriate statistical methods for their analysis is required. To demonstrate this, georeferenced samples (n = 63) of tarnished plant bugs (TPBs; Lygus lineolaris [Palisot de Beauvois] (Heteroptera: Miridae)) were analyzed by three statistical methods and the results were compared. Correlation analysis of the sample counts with 25 classes of cotton growth derived from an unsupervized classification of multispectral imagery was followed by a complete enumeration analysis comprising three scenarios. The first scenario assumed the insect samples were unstratified. A distribution of sample averages was created by complete enumeration of all combinations of samples taken four at a time. The second scenario used imagery of the cotton fields to allocate the samples among three cotton growth categories (marginal, good or best) derived by a supervized classification of the 25 unsupervized classes. The insect samples associated with these categorical habitats were completely enumerated using allocations of 4, 6, 8 or 10 samples at a time from various sample sizes to determine how different allocations affected the results. The mean was not affected, but the standard deviation decreased with increased allocation sizes in all habitats. The third scenario used the two observers and three habitat categories to create six additional complete enumeration distributions by allocating four samples at a time from groups of varying sample sizes. These enumeration distributions are non-parametric estimators of the sampling distribution of: (1) the sample averages of a given sample size when samples are taken from the entire field, (2) the sample averages of a given size when samples are taken from each cotton habitat or (3) the sample averages of a given sample size from samples taken from each habitat by each observer. To support the enumeration analyses, these insect samples were analyzed further by Poisson regression models. These models showed significant differences between TPB counts by the two observers and among the habitats, whereas the observer by habitat interaction was not significant. For every combination of observer and cotton growth category, a Poisson regression model estimated the mean rate of TPB numbers. These means were similar to the corresponding modes of the complete enumeration distributions. The two non-standard methods showed that TPB numbers differed by habitat categories even though there were samples with a zero count, whereas a correlation analysis failed to identify a relationship between TPB sample counts and unsupervized habitat classes.

TI Beyond patch spraying: site-specific weed management with several herbicides SO PRECISION AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Weed management decision model; Economic threshold; Crop yield loss; Net return; Spatial distribution; Weed patches ID CORN AB Site-specific weed management can include both limiting herbicide application to areas of the field where weed pressure is above the economic threshold (patch spraying) and varying the choice of herbicide for most cost-effective weed control of local populations. The benefits of patch spraying with several, postemergence herbicides in irrigated corn were evaluated in simulation studies using weed counts from 16 fields. Patch spraying with one, two or the number of herbicides that maximized net return for a field was simulated. With patch spraying of one herbicide, the average area of a field left untreated is 34.5%. Net return increases by $3.09 ha(-1) compared to a uniform application without decreasing crop yield. Additional herbicides increase the average benefits with just 4% more of the field treated. With two herbicides, the increase in net return is almost tripled and herbicide use is reduced nearly 10-fold compared to patch spraying with one herbicide, and weed control is better than the uniform application in 10 fields. Using more than two herbicides for patch spraying further reduces weed escapes, but herbicide use is greater than a uniform application in 10 fields. Growers might be more willing to adopt patch spraying if more than one herbicide is used in a field. C1 ARS, USDA, Water Management Res Unit, Ft Collins, CO 80526 USA.

Our objective was to describe the type and incidence density of injuries associated with TB-testing a large number of cattle herds, and to delineate the various factors associated with the risk of injury. A survey was mailed to all veterinarians (N = 259) who had completed at least five official bovine TB (bTB) herd tests in Michigan in 2001. We collected data regarding basic demographics and health status, work experience, veterinary specialty, and practice information. Each veterinarian was also requested to complete a separate injury questionnaire for each injury received while TB testing livestock in 2001. Accurate addresses were found for 247 eligible veterinarians, 175 (71%) of whom returned the survey. Thirty-six veterinarians reported a total of 53 injuries (10 major, 12 minor and 31 self-treated). Hands (29%) and legs (21%) were the anatomic locations most frequently injured, with sprains/strains (30%) and abrasion/contusion (30%) the most common types of injuries sustained. The overall incidence density of injuries was 1.9 per 10,000 animals tested. Female gender (RR = 3.3), being employed by the government (RR = 4.5), and smoking (RR = 6.0) were significantly associated with a higher rate of injury. Significant colliniearities were found between some risk factors associated with an increased rate of injury and participants thought 81% of their injuries could have been prevented. These results are explained by the administrative structure of the bTB testing program in Michigan, and the changing demographics of the veterinary workforce. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

One pooled sample each from the primary manure storage area and a high-traffic common cow area from each herd was collected and cultured for MAP using the ESP (R) culture system II. A herd was classified as positive if at least one sample was culture positive for MAP. State, agricultural district, and herd size stratum prevalence were calculated. Information on past MAP testing and cattle purchase history was collected, and logistic regression was performed to determine their importance to the MAP status of the herd. One hundred twenty-seven herds were contacted, and 94 agreed to participate in the study. The environment of 38 (40.4%) herds cultured positive for MAP. MAP was found in all herds (n = 15) with greater than 200 lactating cows. Herds that had tested for MAP or purchased cattle in the previous 5 years were 4.6 and 3.1 times, respectively, more likely to be infected than herds that had not. MAP continues to be prevalent on Michigan dairy farms, especially those with greater than 200 lactating cows. The environmental sampling protocol used in this study is an economically attractive alternative for monitoring herd level prevalence and the progress of Johne's disease control programs at the state or national level. implementation of such a program would aid states in monitoring Johne's control program progress, and guide changes over time.

'Pendula' ID MULTIPURPOSE LEGUMINOUS TREE; PLANT-REGENERATION; EMBRYO GERMINATION; MATURATION; CONVERSION; DESICCATION; FREQUENCY; CULTURE; GROWTH AB In vitro plant regeneration from cotyledon explants of Sophora japonica L. 'Pendula' has been achieved via somatic embryogenesis and adventitious shoot induction. The results indicated that somatic embryogenesis was determined by 2,4-D or NAA and adventitious shoot induction was determined by BA. The induction rates of somatic embryos were significantly influenced by the concentration of auxin, explant maturity and the orientation of the explants on the medium. Through the induction rates of somatic embryos could reach 100% when the juvenile cotyledons were cultured abaxial surface down on the M S medium supplemented with 1040 mg l(-1) 2,4-D or 20 mg l(-1) NAA, MS medium supplemented with 30 mg l(-1) 2,4-D was the optimal medium for the somatic embryo induction because globular embryos were first seen on this medium and cotyledon explants were covered with highest quantity of embryos. Somatic embryos developed further on MS medium supplemented with 5 g l(-1) active charcoal and then germinated into plantlets on hormone-free MS medium. The germination rate of somatic embryos to plantlets was only 8% on hormone free MS medium but could increase to 21% when the somatic embryos were treated with physical dessication for 1 week. The application of BA as the sole growth regulator was effective in inducing adventitious shoot formation. Cotyledons cultured on MS medium containing 5 mg l(-1) BA produced the highest frequency of shoot formation (65.2%) after 2 months of culture.

Proteomic assessment of the non-abundant proteins within seeds is difficult when 60-80% is storage proteins. Resolution can be improved through sample fractionation using separation techniques based upon different physiological or biochemical principles. We have developed a fast and simple fractionation technique using 10 mM Ca2+ to precipitate soybean (Glycine max) seed storage globulins, glycinin and beta-conglycinin. This method removes 87 +/- 4% of the highly abundant seed proteins from the extract, allowing for 541 previously inconspicuous proteins present in soybean seed to be more detectable (volume increase of >= 50%) using fluorescent detection. Of those 541 enhanced spots, 197 increased more than 2.5-fold when visualized with Coomassie. The majority of those spots were isolated and identified using peptide mass fingerprinting. Fractionation also provided detection of 63 new phosphorylated protein spots and enhanced the visibility of 15 phosphorylated protein spots, using 2-D electrophoretic separation and an in-gel phosphoprotein stain. Application of this methodology toward other legumes, such as peanut, bean, pea, alfalfa and others, also containing high amounts of storage proteins, was examined, and is reported here.

We present the results from enterprise budget analyses for individual crops and for complete rotations with and without organic price premiums for five cropping systems at the US Department of A(Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) Beltsville Farming Systems Project (FSP) from 2000 to 2005. The FSP is a long-term cropping systems trial established in 1996 to evaluate the sustainability of organic and conventional grain crop production. The five FSP cropping systems include a conventional. three-year no-till corn (Zea mays L.)-rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop/soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/soybean rotation (no-till (NT)), a conventional, three-year chisel-till corn-rye/soybean-wheat/soybean rotation (chisel tillage (CT)), a two-year organic hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)/corn-rye/soybean rotation (Org2), a three-year organic vetch/corn-rye/soybean-wheat rotation (Org3) and a four- to six-year organic corn-rye/soybean-wheat-red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)/orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) or alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) rotation (Org4+). Economic returns were calculated for rotations present from 2000 to 2005, which included some slight changes in crop rotation sequences due to weather conditions and management changes additional analyses were conducted for 2000 to 2002 when all crops described above were present in all organic rotations. Production costs were, in general, greatest for CT, while those for the organic systems were lower than or similar to those for NT for all crops. Present value of net returns for individual crops and for full rotations were greater and risks were lower for NT than for CT. When price premiums for organic crops were included in the analysis, cumulative present value of net returns for organic systems (US$3933 to 5446 ha(-1), 2000 to 2005. US$2653 to 2869 ha(-1), 2000 to 2002) were always Substantially greater than for the conventional systems (US$1309 to 1909 ha(-1),2000 to 2005; US$634 to 869 ha(-1), 2000 to 2002). With price premiums, Org2 had greater net returns but also greater variability of returns and economic risk across all years than all other systems, primarily because economic Success of this short rotation was highly dependent on the success of soybean, the crop with the highest returns. Soybean yield variability was high due to the impact of weather on the success of weed control in the organic systems. The longer, more diverse Org4+ rotation had the lowest variability of returns among organic systems and lower economic risk than Org2. With no organic price premiums, economic returns for corn and soybean in the organic systems were generally lower than those for the conventional systems due to lower grain yields in the organic systems. An exception to this pattern is that returns for corn in Org4+ were equal to or greater than those in NT in four of six years due to both lower production costs and greater revenue than for Org2 and Org3. With no organic premiums, present value of net returns for the full rotations was greatest for NT in 4 of 6 years and greatest for Org4+ the other 2 years, when returns for hay crops were high. Returns for individual crops and for full rotations were, in general, among the lowest and economic risk was, in general, among the highest for Org2 and Org3. Results indicte that Org4+, the longest and most diverse rotation, had the most stable economic returns among organic systems but that short-term returns could be greatest with Org2. This result likely explains, at least in part, why some organic farmers in the mid-Atlantic region, especially those recently converting to organic methods, have adopted this relatively short rotation. The greater stability of the longer rotation, by contrast, may explain why farmers who have used organic methods for longer periods of time tend to favor rotations that include perennial forages.

Shortages. created when demand grows faster than Supply, have been exacerbated by relatively slow growth of certified organic farmland (in comparison to growth in retail sales) over the past decade. Organic intermediaries, referred to as handlers in the US national organic standards, work with farmers and other handlers in moving organic products along the supply chain, and are often the first to feel the effects of tight Supplies at the farm level. These firms have a variety of mechanisms available to procure needed ingredients when organic products are in short supply: contracts with Suppliers, encouraging suppliers to transition to organic, working with suppliers to increase their output, working with new suppliers, providing technical assistance with organic standards and production methods, and making less than load shipment arrangements with suppliers. Survey data collected from certified organic handlers are used to identify characteristics that make it more likely that an organic handler Will undertake activities with Suppliers to affect the supply of organic products. Handlers most likely to work with their suppliers had been in business for longer periods of time, bought from growers or grower cooperatives, and were more likely to be wholesalers. Handlers who consider price as important were less likely to undertake activities with their Supplies to increase the Supply Or flow of organic products.

Traditional information-based criteria are premised on all model effects being regarded as fixed. When treatments and/or nuisance parameters are assumed to be random effects, an appropriate optimality criterion can be developed under the same conditions. This paper introduces such a criterion, and this criterion also allows for the inclusion of fixed and/or random nuisance parameters in the model and for the presence of a general covariance structure. Also, a general formula is presented for which all previously published optimality criteria are special cases. C1 [Hooks, Tisha] Winona State Univ, Dept Math & Stat, Winona, MN 55987 USA.

Though broadly acknowledged, the risks of pest invasions are difficult to quantify as they involve interactions between many factors that operate across a range of spatial and temporal scales: the transmission of invading organisms via various pathways, their spread and establishment in new environments. Our study presents a stochastic simulation approach to quantify these risks and associated uncertainties through time in a unified fashion. We outline this approach with an example of a forest pest recently detected in North America, Sirex noctilio Fabricius. We simulate new potential entries of S. noctilio as a stochastic process, based on recent volumes of marine shipments of commodities from countries where S. noctilio is established, as well as the broad dynamics of foreign marine imports. The results are then linked with a spatial model that simulates the spread of S. noctilio within the geographical distribution of its hosts (pines) while incorporating existing knowledge about its behavior in North American landscapes. Through replications, this approach yields a spatial representation of S. noctilio risks and uncertainties in a single integrated product. The approach should also be appealing to decisionmakers, since it accounts for projected flows of commodities that may serve as conduits for pest entry. Our 30-year forecasts indicate high establishment probability in Ontario, Quebec, and the northeastern United States, but further southward expansion of S. noctilio is uncertain, ultimately depending on the impact of recent international treatment standards for wood packing materials.

Since the cloning of SD1 at least seven different sd1 alleles have been characterized by sequencing. Following the success of semi-dwarfs in Asia, the first two U.S. semi-dwarf cultivars were released in 1976. According to pedigree information, the majority of modern U.S. cultivars contain sd1 alleles that can be traced back to either Dee-geo-woo-gen (DGWG) or Calrose 76 (CR76). The nature and distribution of sd1 alleles among U.S. cultivars using a DGWG allele-specific PCR marker and sequence analysis were examined. In addition to the DGWG and CR76 alleles, a novel sd1 allele from the California cultivar M-401 was identified. This work clarified the distribution of and extent to which the various sd1 alleles have been utilized in public U.S. rice breeding programs. C1 [Kim, S. I.; Tai, T.

Agricultural drainage ditches serve as the first and second order streams throughout much of this region, as well as other highly productive agricultural areas in humid regions throughout the world. This project was conducted to evaluate in-stream processing of soluble P (SP) in agricultural drainage ditches. Soluble P injection studies were conducted at seven sites along three drainage ditches (298 to 4300 ha drainage area), and one site on a third-order stream that receives the discharge from the agricultural ditches (19,000 ha drainage area) by increasing the SP concentration in the ditch water by approximately 0.25 mg L(-1). Sediments collected from smaller watersheds contained greater amounts of Mehlich 3 and exchangeable P (ExP), silt and clay size particles, and organic matter. Phosphorus uptake lengths (S(net)) ranged from 40 to 1900 m, and SP uptake rates (U) ranged from 0.4 to 52 mg m(-2) h(-1). Phosphorus S(net) was correlated with ditch geomorphological (i.e. width) and sediment properties (i.e. organic matter, ExP, and equilibrium P concentration; r(2) = 1.00, P<0.001), indirect drainage in the watershed (r(2) = 0.92, P<0.001), and the amount of small grains, forest, urban area, alfalfa and corn (r(2) = 1.00, P<0.0001). Agricultural drainage ditches actively process nutrients and could potentially be managed to optimize this processing to minimize SP export from these landscapes. Published by Elsevier B.V.

It is virtually unknown how differences in the priming effect among plant species and soil type affect N mineralization and plant uptake. In a greenhouse experiment, we tested whether priming effects caused by Fremont cottonwood (Populus fremontii) and Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) grown in three different soil types increased plant available N. We measured primed C as the difference in soil-derived CO(2)-C fluxes between planted and non-planted treatments. We calculated "excess plant available N" as the difference in plant available N (estimated from changes in soil inorganic N and plant N pools at the start and end of the experiment) between planted and non-planted treatments. Gross N mineralization at day 105 was significantly greater in the presence of plants across all treatments, while microbial N measured at the same time was not affected by plant presence. Gross N mineralization was significantly positively correlated to the rate of priming. Species effects on plant available N were not consistent among soil types. Plant available N in one soil type increased in the P. fremontii treatment but not in the P. ponderosa treatment, whereas in the other two soils, the effects of the two plant species were reversed. There was no relationship between the cumulative amount of primed C and excess plant available N during the first 107 days of the experiment when inorganic N was still abundant in all planted soils. However, during the second half of the experiment (days 108-398) when soil inorganic N in the planted treatments was depleted by plant N uptake, the cumulative amount of primed C was significantly positively correlated to excess plant available N. Primed C explained 78% of the variability in plant available N for five of the six plant-soil combinations. Excess plant available N could not be predicted from cumulative amount of primed C in one species-soil type combination. Possibly, greater microbial N immobilization due to large inputs of rhizodeposits with low N concentration may have reduced plant available N or we may have underestimated plant available N in this treatment because of N loss through root exudation and death. We conclude that soil N availability cannot be determined by soil properties alone, but that is strongly influenced by root-soil interactions. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Irrigated Small-Grain Residue Management Effects on Soil Chemical and Physical Properties and Nutrient Cycling SO SOIL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Straw; residue; wheat; barley; small grain; soil organic carbon; nutrients; fertilizer ID TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS; ORGANIC-MATTER; CROP RESIDUES; CARBON DYNAMICS; WHEAT-STRAW; CORN STOVER; NO-TILL; NITROGEN; DECOMPOSITION; BARLEY AB The effects of straw removal from irrigated fields cropped to wheat and barley on soil properties and nutrient cycling are a concern because of its potential impact on the sustainability of agricultural fields. The increasing demand of straw for animal bedding and the potential development of cellulosic ethanol production will likely increase the demand in the future. Previous reviews addressing changes in soil properties when crop residues are removed focused primarily on rain-fed systems. This article reviews published research assessing the effects of wheat and barley straw removal on soil organic carbon (SOC) and analyzes changes in nutrient cycling within irrigated wheat and barley production systems. The effects of straw removal on bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and other properties are reported from selected studies. Six studies compared SOC changes with time in irrigated systems in which wheat straw was removed or retained. These studies indicated that SOC either increased with time or remained constant when residues were removed. It is possible that belowground biomass was supplying C to soils at a rate sufficient to maintain or, in some cases, slowly increase SOC with time. A separate research review calculated the minimum aboveground annual carbon inputs needed to maintain SOC levels from nine wheat system studies. Calculations of the minimum aboveground annual C source inputs needed to maintain SOC levels were from rain-fed systems and are some of the best information presently available for use in evaluating residue removal effects in irrigated systems. However, long-term studies are needed to obtain reliable data for diverse irrigated systems. Significant amounts of nutrients are removed from the soil/plant system when straw is removed. Producers will need to determine the cost of the nutrient removal from their systems to determine the value of the straw.

TI Performance of Pitcher Irrigation System SO SOIL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Pitcher irrigation; wetting zone; hydraulic conductivity; HYDRUS-2D AB Pitcher irrigation is an ancient, but very efficient irrigation system used in many arid and semiarid regions. Small pitchers are often used because they are less expensive than large ones. However, questions exist about whether the patterns and extent of soil wetting obtained with small pitchers are comparable to those achieved with larger pitchers. This work addresses these questions through a combination of experimental and simulation studies involving three pitcher sizes, identified here as large (20 L), medium (15 L), and small (11 L). Saturated hydraulic conductivities of the pitcher materials were measured using a constant head method; the measured values ranged from 0.07 cm d(-1) for the large pitcher to 0.14 cm d(-1) for the smaller sizes. To determine the zone of wetting, the pitchers were buried down to their necks in a sandy loam soil and filled with water. Water content distributions were determined after 1 and 10 days at locations 20, 40, and 60 cm away from the pitcher center at soil depths of 0, 20, 40, and 60 cm. Moisture distributions predicted with the HYDRUS-2D simulation model were found to be in close agreement with the experimental results, showing root-mean-square-error values between 0.004 and 0.023. The close agreement suggests that HYDRUS-2D is a suitable tool for investigating and designing pitcher irrigation systems. Experimental and numerical results showed that a small pitcher half the size of a larger one, but with double the hydraulic conductivity, will produce approximately the same wetting front as the larger pitcher. Simulations for the large pitcher further showed, as expected, more horizontal spreading of water in a fine-texture soil as compared with a coarse-texture soil.

The adoption of non-inversion deep tillage has been recommended to disrupt compacted soil layers and create an adequate medium for crop development. In spite of its efficacy, increased fuel prices could reduce in-row subsoiling adoption due to the cost of the operation. We evaluated three subsoiling implements against a non-subsoiled treatment with and without a rye (Secale cereale L) cover crop on a 4-year cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L)-peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) rotation experiment in Headland, AL on a Dothan loamy sand (Plinthic Kandiudult). Results showed consistently lower yields for non-subsoiled treatments (11 and 51% lower yields for peanuts and cotton, respectively). Soil strength values had a 2 fold increase or greater (1.5-4.0 MPa) in less than a year due to natural reconsolidation and normal vehicle traffic. On average, in-row subsoiling returned $698/ha/year for cotton and $612/ha/year more for all in-row subsoiling than non-subsoiled treatments. No differences between implements were found. A conservation system consisting of annual paratilling combined with a winter cover crop proved to be the most productive and profitable system. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Simoes, R. P.; Shaw, J.

No-tillage has been adopted in much of the soybean production areas to preserve soil and nutrients. The impact of this production practice change on soybean cyst nematode has been evaluated since the introduction of the practice over thirty years ago and mixed results on the impact have been recorded. This study was initiated to determine if tillage practices and timing of changes impacted soybean cyst nematode reproduction. The study was imposed on a long-term tillage study and treatments were changed to measure short-term as well as long-term effects of tillage on soybean cyst nematode. Significant differences in soybean cyst nematode population density were found between treatments. However, significant differences found could be attributed to short-term changes in tilled and no-tilled treatments. Soybean cyst nematode reproduction was almost twice as high in treatments which changed from no-tillage to disc than tilled treatments changed to no-tillage. No significant differences were found in yield among the treatments. Grain yield was reflective of cultivar grown and environmental conditions. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Fungi in Suppressing Pecan Weevil, Curculio caryae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in Commercial Pecan Orchards SO SOUTHWESTERN ENTOMOLOGIST LA English DT Article ID ANOPLOPHORA-GLABRIPENNIS COLEOPTERA; BEAUVERIA-BASSIANA; FIBER BANDS; CERAMBYCIDAE; BRONGNIARTII; ANISOPLIAE; LARVAE; FIELD; SOIL AB The pecan weevil, Curculio caryae (Horn), is a key pest of pecans, Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch. The entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin are pathogenic to and are being developed as microbial control agents for pecan weevil. One approach to suppressing pest populations and the resultant damage might be to apply entomopathogenic fungi when adult pecan weevils are emerging from the soil. Here we report the efficacy of B. bassiana (GHA strain) and M. anisopliae (1752 strain) applied to trees in orchards at three locations: Byron, GA, Fort Valley, GA, and Comanche, TX. At Fort Valley, treatments included B. bassiana as an oil-based spray with a UV-protective screen applied to the trunk, M. anisopliae applied as an impregnated fiber band stapled onto the trunk, and a nontreated check. At Byron, GA, we compared the B. bassiana trunk treatment to a nontreated check. Treatments at the Texas location were the B. bassiana trunk application, M. anisopliae applied as a trunk band and as a soil drench, and a nontreated check. At each location, weevils were trapped and transported to the laboratory for 15 to 17 days post-treatment to record mortality and mycosis. At both Georgia locations, B. bassiana caused >= 80% mortality and mycosis, which was significantly greater than mortality observed in the check (<= 33%); mortality and mycosis in the M. anisopliae treatment at Fort Valley did not differ from that observed in the check. In Texas, due to insufficient replication in plots, statistical comparison among treatments was not possible. However, mean percentages of mortality of pecan weevils after 7 and 14 days were 38 and 55% in the check, 75 and 88% in the B. bassiana-treated plots, and 57 and 75% in the M. anisopliae-treated plots. These results indicate potential for B. bassiana trunk sprays to suppress adult pecan weevil. Future research is needed to determine if the approach contributes to economic levels of crop protection.

Wheat line Ning7840 has adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and shows LM symptoms at heading. A recessive gene (lm) was found to be responsible for LM in Ning7840 and located near the proximal region of chromosome 1BL using a population of 179 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from the cross Ning7840/Chokwang. Genomic in situ hybridization showed that Ning7840 carries the short arm of 1R chromosome from rye (Secale cereale L.), on which the race-specific gene Lr26 resides. The RILs were infected with the isolate PRTUS 55, an isolate virulent to Lr26, at anthesis in two greenhouse experiments. The result showed that the lines with LM phenotype had a significantly higher rust resistance than the non-LM lines. Composite interval mapping consistently detected a QTL, Qlr.pser.1BL, for APR on chromosome 1BL. Qlr.pser.1BL peaked at lm and explained up to 60.8% of phenotypic variation for leaf rust resistance in two greenhouse experiments, therefore, lm from Ning7840 may have pleiotropic effects on APR to leaf rust.

TI Identification of associations between SSR markers and fiber traits in an exotic germplasm derived from multiple crosses among Gossypium tetraploid species SO THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS LA English DT Article ID UPLAND COTTON; QTL ANALYSIS; LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM; POPULATION-STRUCTURE; GENETIC-STRUCTURE; FLOWERING TIME; LOLIUM-PERENNE; INBRED LINES; QUALITY; ENVIRONMENT AB Genetic improvement in yield and fiber quality is needed for worldwide cotton production. Identification of molecular markers associated with fiber-related traits can facilitate selection for these traits in breeding. This study was designed to identify associations between SSR markers and fiber traits using an exotic germplasm population, species polycross (SP), derived from multiple crosses among Gossypium tetraploid species. The SP population underwent 11 generations of mixed random mating and selfing followed by 12 generations of selfing. A total of 260 lines were evaluated for fiber-related traits under three environments in 2005 and 2006. Large genotypic variance components in traits were identified relative to components of genotype x environment. Eighty-six primer pairs amplified a total of 314 polymorphic fragments among 260 lines. A total of 202 fragments with above 6% allele frequency were analyzed for associations. Fifty-nine markers were found to have a significant (P < 0.05, 0.01, or 0.001) association with six fiber traits. There were six groups identified within the population using structure analysis. Allele frequency divergence among six groups ranged from 0.11 to 0.27. Of the 59 marker-trait associations, 39 remained significant after correction for population structure and kinship using a mixed linear model. The effect of population sub-structure on associations was most significant in boll weight among the traits analyzed. The sub-structure among the SP lines may be caused by natural selection, the breeding method applied during development of inbred lines, and unknown factors. The identified marker-trait associations can be useful in breeding and help determine genetic mechanisms underlying interrelationships among fiber traits.

Within this context, Toxicological Sciences has published a series of articles in its Forum Section on the theme, "Genetic Toxicity Assessment: Employing the Best Science for Human Safety Evaluation" (beginning with Goodman et al.). As a contribution to the Forum discussions, we present current methods for evaluating mutagenic/genotoxic risk using standard genotoxicity test batteries, and suggest ways to address and incorporate new technologies. We recognize that the occurrence of positive results in relation to cancer prediction has led to criticism of in vitro mammalian cell genetic toxicity assays. We address criticism of test results related to weak positives, associated only with considerable toxicity, only seen at high concentrations, not accompanied by positive results in the other tests of standard test batteries, and/or not correlating well with rodent carcinogenicity tests. We suggest that the problems pointed out by others with these assays already have been resolved, to a large extent, by international groups working to update assay protocols, and by changes in data interpretation at regulatory agencies. New guidances at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration improve data evaluation and help refocus risk assessment. We discuss the results of international groups working together to integrate new technologies and evaluate new tests, including human monitoring. We suggest that strategies for identifying human health risks should naturally change to integrate new technologies; however, changes should be made only when justified by strong scientific evidence of improvement in the risk assessment paradigm.

TI The possible roles of nutrient deprivation and auxin repression in apical control SO TREES-STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION LA English DT Article DE Apical control; Branching; Lateral buds; Nutrients; Auxin ID ABIES-NORDMANNIANA; HORMONAL-CONTROL; BUD DEVELOPMENT; BRANCH GROWTH; WOODY-PLANTS; DOUGLAS-FIR; DOMINANCE; ALLOCATION; PHLOEM; FORM AB Apical control is the suppression of growth in lower branches by a higher dominant branch or leader shoot. We investigated possible mechanisms involved in this developmental response in three widely diverse species (Japanese morning glory, Ipomoea nil, hybrid poplar, Populus trichocarpa, x P. deltoides, and Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii). The following two hypotheses were tested: (1) the mineral nutrient-deprivation hypothesis, which is that the continued growth of the lower branches is repressed by the diversion of nutrients to the upper dominating branch or shoot, and (2) the auxin-repression hypothesis, which is that auxin produced in the upper dominating branch or shoot moves down to the lower branches where continued growth is repressed. The results of experiments involving the manipulation of available nutrients by dominant branch removal and fertilization were consistent with the first hypothesis for morning glory, poplar, and for second- or third flushing of lateral branches in Douglas-fir. The results of the experiments involving auxin (NAA, 1-naphthalene acetic acid) replacement treatments on decapitated shoots bearing growing lateral branches were inconsistent with the second hypothesis in morning glory, poplar and in first-flushing Douglas-fir. However, despite concerns about possible NAA toxic effects, there was evidence of auxin repression of second flushing in Douglas-fir. Overall, the data supported a significant role for nutrient availability but not for auxin repression in apical control of morning glory and poplar. In Douglas-fir, apical control in first-flushing lateral branches from over-wintered buds was largely insensitive to both nutrient availability and auxin repression; however, second flushing was sensitive to both.

TI Detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus infected cattle using infrared thermography SO VETERINARY JOURNAL LA English DT Review DE Infrared thermography; Foot-and-mouth-disease; Bovine; FMDV ID SHORT COMMUNICATION; UNITED-KINGDOM; SENSITIVITY; DIAGNOSIS; EPIDEMIC; UK AB In this study, infrared thermography (IRT) was assessed as a means of detecting foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV)-infected cattle before and after the development of clinical signs. Preliminary IRT imaging demonstrated that foot temperatures increased in FMDV-infected animals. The maximum foot temperatures of healthy (n = 53), directly inoculated (DI) (n = 12), contact (CT) (n = 6), and vaccine trial (VT) (n = 21) cattle were measured over the course of FMD infection. A cut-off value was established at 34.4 degrees C (sensitivity = 61.1%, specificity = 87.7%) with the aim of detecting FMDV-infected animals both before and after clinical signs were observed. Seven of 12 (58%) DI and 3/6 (50%) CT animals showed maximum foot temperatures exceeding the 34.4 degrees C cut-off before the development of foot vesicles. In contrast, only 5/21 (24%) VT animals displayed pre-clinical foot temperatures above this cut-off possibly indicating partial vaccine protection of this group. These results show IRT as a promising screening technology to quickly identify potentially infected animals for confirmatory diagnostic testing during FMD Outbreaks. Further evaluation of this technology is needed to determine the value of IRT in detecting animals with mild clinical signs or sub-clinical infections. (C) Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Groups of 10 pigs each were inoculated with Ad5-pIFN-alpha and not challenged, Ad5-pIFN-alpha and challenged with PRRSV 1 d later, or inoculated with a control adenovirus that does not express IFN-alpha (Ad5-null) and challenged 1 d later with PRRSV. IFN-alpha levels in all pigs inoculated with the Ad5-pIFN-alpha were elevated the day of challenge (1 d after inoculation), but were undetectable by 3 d after inoculation in the pigs that were not challenged with PRRSV. Pigs inoculated with Ad5-pIFN-alpha and challenged with PRRSV had lower febrile responses, a decreased percentage of lung involvement at 10 d post-infection, delayed viremia and antibody response, and higher serum IFN-alpha levels as a result of PRRSV infection, compared to pigs inoculated with Ad5-null and challenged with PRRSV. These results indicate that IFN-alpha can have protective effects if present during the time of infection with PRRSV. C1 [Brockmeier, S. L.; Lager, K. M.; Sacco, R. E.; Gauger, P. C.; Loving, C.

Vaccines prepared from the attenuated CVI988/Rispens MDV-1 strain currently offer the best protection. Although attenuated CVI988/Rispens is non-oncogenic, it codes for at least two forms of the MDV oncoprotein Meq, and these proteins (CVI-Meq and CVI-LMeq) have not been fully characterized. Here, we report that both CVI-Meq proteins, like the Meq protein of Md5 (a very virulent oncogenic strain), were capable of transforming Rat-2 and NIH3T3 cells. Both CVI-Meq and CVI-LMeq proteins activated the meq promoter only in the presence of chicken c-Jun (CK-Jun) whereas Md5-Meq activated the same promoter irrespective of CK-Jun co-expression. However, Meq proteins of both Md5 and CVI988 bound the meq promoter in a ChIP assay regardless of whether CK-Jun was co-expressed. To understand the role of Meq DNA binding and transactivation/repression domains in transcription, we constructed three chimeric Meq proteins, namely, Md5-CVI-Meq, CVI-Md5-Meq, and Md5-CVI-L by exchanging domains between Md5 meq and CVI meq genes. Although these chimeric Meq proteins, unlike CVI-Meq proteins, transactivated the meq promoter, the activation was significantly less than Md5-Meq. To determine the role of individual amino acids, point mutations were introduced corresponding to the amino acid changes of CVI-Meq into Md5-Meq. Amino acid residues at positions 71 and 320 of the Md5-Meq protein were found to be important for transactivation of the meq promoter. All three Meq proteins activated the MDV gB, MMP-3 and Bcl-2 promoters and suppressed transcription from the MDV pp38/pp14 bidirectional promoter. Although no significant differences were observed, decreased transactivation activity was observed with CVI-Meq proteins when compared to Md5-Meq. Collectively, the data presented here indicate that CVI-Meq proteins are generally weak transactivators, which might contribute to the non-oncogenic phenotype of CVI988 virus in chickens.

Previous reports of Vietnam viruses have documented predominantly clade 1 viruses. Unexpectedly, 19 viruses from northern Vietnam isolated in December 2005 fell into clade 2. These viruses further clustered into two distinct sublineages. Representative viruses from each sublineage were chosen for antigenic and pathogenic evaluation. Two distinct antigenic groups correlating with the genetic information were present when comparing hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titers. All viruses were highly virulent not only in chickens, killing them within 2 days of experimental inoculation, but also in 2- and 5-week-old Pekin ducks, causing 100% mortality within 4 days of challenge. The information gained about these viruses provides insight with regards to implementing control programs, including vaccine seed strain selection. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The high degree of unpredictability of shrub recovery following prescribed fires and wildfires makes it difficult to prioritize restoration efforts and develop long-term plans for restoring or maintaining the integrity of sagebrush communities. Our Overall goal was to develop a hypothesis based oil descriptive data that describes the temporal pattern of recruitment for 2 important shrubs, Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. vaseyana (Rydb.) Beetle and Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC., in the interiors of large burns where little seed input from surviving shrubs occurs. We had 2 primary questions: (1) are there distinct temporal patterns of recruitment in the interiors of large burns that determine the recovery rate of the shrub canopy layer for species largely dependent oil seedlings for reestablishment and (2) call we generate hypotheses that explain this variation in shrub recovery rates? To address the question of recruitment, we measured shrub density and age for A. tridentata ssp. vaseyana and P tridentata in the interiors of 4 large (>400-ha) burns. Time since fire varied from 6 to 41 years. All 4 fires burned in August and were relatively complete with few to no unburned patches. Our data indicate that (1) A. tridentata ssp. vaseyana and P tridentata seed remained viable up to 4 years postfire and that (2) the rate of shrub recovery is largely determined by the success or failure of seedling establishment in the first 2-3 years following disturbance. From these data we generated a hypothesis describing 2 scenarios of postfire shrub recovery. C1 [Miller, Richard F.] USDA ARS, Eastern Oregon Agr Res Ctr, Burns, OR 97710 USA.

Little has been published about abundance and habitat of Crawford's gray Shrew throughout its distributional range. During 7 summers, we captured shrews in pitfall traps at 13 study sites in Bernalillo, Valencia, and Socorro counties. Capture rates of shrews were greatest in August and September, and we did not detect a response of shrews to restoration treatments that removed nonnative plants from riparian forests. Results from our study indicate that (1) Crawford's gray shrews are more abundant in riparian habitats than historically presumed and (2) pitfall traps with drift fences are an effective means to capture shrews.

Despite the Ubiquity of camel spiders, little is known about their ecology. Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) are also widespread in western North America and are important ecosystem engineers, but they, have been reduced in extent because of human activity Here we report significantly greater numbers of camel spiders on black-tailed prairie dog colonies in southern New Mexico. The difference in vegetation structure created by prairie dog activity is likely the reason for the increased prevalence of camel spiders on colonies. Because camel spiders are important predators and prey, the observation that colonies support higher numbers of these animals provides a mechanism explaining differences in arthropod communities on and off colonies and explaining the preferential foraging behavior of vertebrates associated with prairie dog colonies.

We also collected baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) tree cores adjacent to mussel collection sites in one river and directly compared tree and mussel chronologies in this river. To extend our analysis spatially, we examined published baldcypress chronologies from six other unregulated rivers throughout the region. Biochronologies were developed using standard dendrochronology techniques and we explored relationships between annual growth and a suite of streamflow variables in each river. Growth of mussels in unregulated rivers was negatively correlated with annual flood pulse count and May and June discharge, but positively correlated with annual low pulse count and annual number of hydrographic reversals. Baldcypress growth in unregulated rivers was positively correlated with May and June discharge and negatively correlated with annual low pulse count. Mussel growth in the regulated river was not correlated with any streamflow variable suggesting that biological rhythms are decoupled from hydrologic variations in this system. This study shows how interannual variability in streamflow can benefit diverse taxa in floodplain rivers over long periods and how river regulation can disrupt these relationships.

Landowner investment in agricultural production and forest and hydrologic restoration will reflect perceived economic returns from investments, as well as personal preferences for the environmental services each land use provides. Conservation programs and emerging environmental markets can encourage floodplain restoration, but will be effective only if they improve economic returns from bottomland management relative to other land uses. Over the past three years, prices for corn, soybeans, wheat, and other agricultural commodities have increased sharply, increasing returns to crop production and decreasing the amount of marginally profitable cropland, land most likely to be restored to bottomland hardwoods. Understanding commodity price dynamics is critical for understanding the potential for retiring cropland into bottomlands. Often Farm Bill conservation title provisions attract the greatest attention regarding bottomland hardwood restoration. However, the commodity title, which sets commodity price supports, and energy policy, need to be considered because commodity and energy policy effect returns from bottomland hardwood restoration.

Notwithstanding, there is a scarcity of empirical estimates of carbon sequestration specific to the region and we sought to address this outstanding need. We evaluated tree measurements from known-age bottomland hardwood stands from a chronosequence of sites in the LMV, drawing on 540 plot measurements within 67 stands. We derived a model of live tree biomass carbon as a function of stand age. The model explained 83% of the variation in live tree biomass carbon at the stand level, and provides a more accurate projection for application in the LMV than broader regional models currently available. Modeled live tree biomass carbon was greater than the corresponding regional estimate used in the U.S. Department of Energy's voluntary greenhouse gas reporting program for years 20 through 90 (up to 59% greater at year 50), but trended toward convergence at mature stages.

Nest failures were documented using five video recording systems. All kite nests not monitored with a video recording system were observed every 3 or 4 d. The apparent reproductive success during this study was 28.2% (n = 39 nests). Using the Mayfield estimator, we determined the nest success to be 36.3% over 1226 nest-exposure days with a daily nest survival of 0.9837. We recorded seven nest failures and eight probable predation attempts. Predation was the most common cause of nest failures of video observed nests (57%), with western rat snakes (Elaphe obsoleta) being the most common predator of kite eggs and nestlings. Other observed nest failures included nest abandonment, a chick falling out of a nest, and an infertile egg. Reproductive success reported in this study was the second lowest (28%) of all Mississippi Kite studies. This low reproductive success rate is likely not adequate to support a viable population in the White River National Wildlife Refuge, indicating this may currently be a sink population.

Increased societal, industrial, and agricultural demands for water may encourage the use of alternative sources such as wastewater effluents in managed wetlands. However, water quality is commonly overlooked as an influence on wetland soil seed banks and soils. In four separate greenhouse trials conducted over a 2-yr period, we examined the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) on vegetation of wetland seed banks and soils excavated from a wildlife management area in Missouri, USA. We used microcosms filled with one of two soil materials and irrigated with WWE, Missouri River water, or deionized water to simulate moist-soil conditions. Vegetation that germinated from the soil seed bank was allowed to grow in microcosms for approximately 100 d. Vegetative taxa richness, plant density, and biomass were significantly reduced in WWE-irrigated soil materials compared with other water sources. Salinity and sodicity rapidly increased in WWE-irrigated microcosms and probably was responsible for inhibiting germination or interfering with seedling development. Our results indicate that irrigation with WWE promoted saline-sodic soil conditions, which alters the vegetation community by inhibiting germination or seedling development.

Six adult females were depredated by snakes in 781 camera-monitored intervals when females were on the nest at night and exposed to possible nocturnal predation. Daily nest survival was 0.971 (95% CI: 0.959-0.980) and daily adult female predation while nesting was 0.008 (95% CI: 0.003-0.017). We estimated that 14.6% of breeding females were depredated on the nest during the breeding season based on the observed survival rates and assuming females whose first nest was unsuccessful and which survived attempted a second nesting attempt. Females were captured 75% of the times they were on the nest at the time of a nocturnal nest predation by a snake. Predation of nesting females is potentially an important source of mortality for Golden-checked Warblers, and warrants further investigation. Received 7 June 2008. Accepted 30 August 2008.

One approach in dealing with wildlife reservoirs of disease is to interrupt inter-species and intraspecies transmission through vaccination of deer or cattle. To evaluate the efficacy of BCG vaccination in white-tailed deer, 35 deer were assigned to one of three groups; one s.c. dose of 10(7) CFU of M. bovis BCG Pasteur (n = 12); 1 s.c. dose of 10(7) CFU of M. bovis BCG Danish (n = 11); or unvaccinated deer (n = 12). After vaccination, deer were inoculated intratonsilarly with virulent M. bovis. Lesion severity scores of the medial retropharyngeal lymph node, as well as all lymph nodes combined, were reduced in vaccinated deer compared to unvaccinated deer. BCG Danish vaccinated deer had no late stage granulomas characterized by coalescent caseonecrotic granulomas containing numerous acid-fast bacilli compared to BCG Pasteur vaccinated or unvaccinated deer where such lesions were present. Both BCG strains were isolated as late as 250 days after vaccination from deer that were vaccinated but not challenged. In white-tailed deer, BCG provides protection against challenge with virulent M. bovis. Issues related to vaccine persistence, safety and shedding remain to be further investigated. C1 [Palmer, M.

Primary and secondary models can be integrated into a dynamic model that can predict the microbial growth under varying environmental conditions. Growth data of Salmonella at nine different isothermal conditions - 10,15, 20, 25, 28, 32, 35, 42, and 45 degrees C were first fitted into primary models, namely the logistic, modified Gompertz, Baranyi, and Huang models. Performances of these models were evaluated by using various statistical criteria, namely mean square error (MSE), pseudo-R(2), -2 log likelihood, Akaike's and Bayesian's information criteria. All the chosen models fitted well to the growth data of Salmonella based on these criteria. The results of statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the performances of the four primary models, suggesting that the models were equally suitable for describing isothermal bacterial growth. The specific growth rates derived from each model was fitted to the Modified Ratkowsky equation, relating the specific growth rate to growth temperatures. It was also observed that the lag phase duration was an inverse function of specific growth rates. These models, if validated, can be used to construct dynamic models to predict potential Salmonella growth in raw ground beef. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Responses were compared to those from two other studies representing high and low site qualities. Third-year height did not differ among spacings (P = 0.80), providing no evidence that close spacing stimulated early growth. Piecewise regression identified the onset of competition-induced mortality when stand density index (SDI [Reineke, L.H. 1933. Perfecting a stand density index for even-aged forests Journal of Agricultural Research 46, 627-638]) exceeded 52% (S.E. = 4.6) of the species' maximum or when average crown ratio (CR) declined below 52% (S.E. = 0.9). For a range of SDI values, CR averaged 2-7% points greater at the high-quality site than at the moderate-quality site. In a regression analysis of combined data from the moderate- and high-quality sites, relative values of average stem diameter and stand volume (% of maximum values observed per site) 23-25 years after planting increased and decreased with planting spacing, respectively (R(2) = 0.97 and 0.91, respectively). Intersection of these relationships at 3-m spacing indicated a point of equivalent relative development of tree size and stand yield. For a range of site qualities, stands planted at 3-m spacing: (1) maintained tree vigor (CR >= 50%) and stability (average height:dbh ratio <90), (2) experienced little or no competition-induced mortality through age 25 years, and (3) allocated 25-year growth equitably to development of tree size and stand yield, thereby providing a desirable starting point for subsequent management.

Mass failure of high, steep banks is one of the most serious forms of streambank erosion. The risk of a given bank experiencing mass failure is a function of bank height, angle, and soil strength, which is governed by soil moisture. Two methods for bank dewatering were tested in adjacent section of streambank bordering a deeply incised channel in northern Mississippi: a low-cost PUMP system and subsurface horizontal drains. Pore water pressures (both positive and negative pressures, or matric Suction) were continuously monitored for 2 years at the pumped site, at all adjacent untreated control section, and for I year at the site stabilized with horizontal drains. Resulting data were used to Calculate a time series of the factor of safety using a computer model. Over the course of two wet seasons, average bank retreats for the control and pumped plots were 0.43 and 0.21 m, respectively. More limited monitoring revealed that the site with passive drains retreated about 0-23 m. At the pumped site pore water pressure was 3-4 kPa lower than at the control site during the most critical periods. Accordingly, computed factors of safety were above the failure threshold at the pumped site, but fell below Unity at the control site oil I I occasions over the period of observation. Similarly, the drained site displayed generally lower pore water pressure and higher safety factors except for two events when drains were evidently overwhelmed with the volume of local surface and subsurface flows. These results Suggest, but do not prove, that bank dewatering promoted lower rates of bank retreat and higher levels of stability since the three sites had slight differences in soils, geometry and boundary conditions. Initial cost of the dewatering treatments were significantly less than orthodox bank stabilization measures, but operation and maintenance requirements may be greater.

In the sub-alpine forest area, the mean of snow depth increases with elevation, while its standard deviation remains uniform. fit the tundra subarea. the mean of snow depth decreases with elevation, while its standard deviation varies over a wide range. The two-dimensional correlations of snow depth in the forested area indicate little spatial memory and isotropic conditions. while in the tundra they indicate a marked directional bias that is consistent with the predominant wind directions and the location of topographic ridges and depressions. The power spectral densities exhibit a power law behaviour in two frequency intervals separated by a break located at a scale of around 12 m in the forested subarea, and 65 m in the tundra subarea. The spectral exponents obtained indicate that the snow depth fields are highly variable over scales larger than the scale break, while highly correlated below. Based on the observations and oil synthetic snow depth fields generated with one- and two-dimensional spectral techniques, it is shown that the scale at which the break occurs increases with the separation distance between snow depth maxima. In addition, the breaks in the forested area coincide with those of the corresponding vegetation height field, while in the tundra subarea they are displaced towards larger scales than those observed in the corresponding vegetation height field.

The effectiveness of VFSs has been widely studied at the plot scale, yet researchers generally agree that field scale implementations are far less effective. The purpose of this research was to develop a field scale VFS submodel for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). A model for the retention of sediments and nutrients in VFSs was developed from experimental observations derived from 22 publications. A runoff retention model was developed from Vegetative Filter Strip MODel (VFSMOD) simulations. This model was adapted to operate at the field scale by considering the effects of flow concentration generally absent from plot scale experiments. Flow concentration through 10 hypothetical VFSs was evaluated using high resolution (2 m) topographical data and multipath flow accumulation. Significant flow concentration was predicted at all sites, on average 10% of the VFS received half of the field runoff. As implemented in SWAT, the VFS model contains two sections, a large section receiving relatively modest flow densities and a smaller section treating more concentrated flow. This field scale model was incorporated into SWAT and verified for proper function. This model enhances the ability of SWAT to evaluate the effectiveness of VFSs at the watershed scale.

The widespread use and persistence of CTC may contribute in development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of composting on the fate of CTC residues found in manure from medicated animals. The effect of CTC residues on composting was also investigated. Five beef calves were medicated for 5 days with 22 mg/kg/day of CTC. Manure samples collected from calves prior to and after medication were mixed with straw and woodchips, and aliquots of the subsequent mixtures were treated in laboratory composters for 30 days. In addition, aliquots of the CTC-containing mixture were incubated at 25 degrees C or sterilized followed by incubation at 25 degrees C and 55 degrees C (composting temperature). The presence of CTC did not appear to affect the composting process. Concentrations of CTC/ECTC (the summed concentrations of CTC and its epimer ECTC) in the composted mixture (CM) and sterilized mixture incubated at 55 degrees C(SM55) decreased 99% and 98% (from 113 mu g/g dry weight (DW) to 0.7 mu g/g DW and 2.0 mu g/g DW), respectively, in 30 days. In contrast, levels of CTC/ECTC in room temperature incubated (RTIM) and sterilized mixture incubated at 25 degrees C (SM25) decreased 49% and 40% (to 58 mu g/g DW and 68 mu g/g DW), respectively, after 30 days. Concentrations of the CTC metabolite, iso-chlortetracycline (ICTC), in CM and SM55 decreased more than 99% (from 12 mu g/g DW to below quantitation limit of 0.3 mu g/g DW) in 30 days. ICTC levels in RTIM and SM25 decreased 80% (to 4 mu g/g DW) in 30 days. These results confirm and extend those from previous studies that show the increased loss of extractable CTC residues with increased time and incubation temperature. In addition, our results using sterile and non-sterile samples suggest that the decrease in concentrations of extractable CTC/ECTC at 25 degrees C and 55 degrees C (composting temperature) is due to abiotic processes.

Roads can affect the quality and quantity of available wildlife habitat, most notably through fragmentation. Likewise, vehicular traffic on roads can be direct sources of wildlife mortality and in some instances, can be catastrophic to populations. Thus, connectivity of habitat and permeability of road systems are important factors to consider when developing road mortality mitigation systems. There are a variety of approaches that can be used to reduce the effects of roads and road mortality on wildlife populations. Here, we briefly review wildlife-crossing structures, summarize previous wildlife road mortality mitigation studies, describe common mitigation measures, and discuss factors that influence the overall effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Because there are very few road mortality studies "before" and "after" the installation of wildlife-crossing structures, their efficiency is nearly impossible to evaluate. However, simple and relatively inexpensive measures reviewed herein can almost certainly reduce the number of collisions between wildlife and automobiles. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The wheat genome has not yet been sequenced due to its huge genome size (similar to 17,000 Mb) and high levels of repetitive sequences; the whole genome sequence may not be expected in the near future. Available linkage maps have low marker density due to limitation in available markers; therefore new technologies that detect genome-wide polymorphisms are still needed to discover a large number of new markers for construction of high-resolution maps. A high-resolution map is a critical tool for gene isolation, molecular breeding and genomic research. Single feature polymorphism (SFP) is a new microarray-based type of marker that is detected by hybridization of DNA or cRNA to oligonucleotide probes. This study was conducted to explore the feasibility of using the Affymetrix GeneChip to discover and map SFPs in the large hexaploid wheat genome. Results: Six wheat varieties of diverse origins (Ning 7840, Clark, Jagger, Encruzilhada, Chinese Spring, and Opata 85) were analyzed for significant probe by variety interactions and 396 probe sets with SFPs were identified. A subset of 164 unigenes was sequenced and 54% showed polymorphism within probes. Microarray analysis of 71 recombinant inbred lines from the cross Ning 7840/Clark identified 955 SFPs and 877 of them were mapped together with 269 simple sequence repeat markers. The SFPs were randomly distributed within a chromosome but were unevenly distributed among different genomes. The B genome had the most SFPs, and the D genome had the least. Map positions of a selected set of SFPs were validated by mapping single nucleotide polymorphism using SNaPshot and comparing with expressed sequence tags mapping data. Conclusion: The Affymetrix array is a cost-effective platform for SFP discovery and SFP mapping in wheat. The new high-density map constructed in this study will be a useful tool for genetic and genomic research in wheat.

They can affect gene expression at multiple stages including transcription, RNA processing and transport, and translation. NATs give rise to sense-antisense transcript pairs and the number of these identified has escalated greatly with the availability of DNA sequencing resources and public databases. Traditionally, NATs were identified by the alignment of full-length cDNAs or expressed sequence tags to genome sequences, but an alternative method for large-scale detection of sense-antisense transcript pairs involves the use of microarrays. In this study we developed a novel protocol to assay sense-and antisense-strand transcription on the 55 K Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array, which is a 3' in vitro transcription (3'IVT) expression array. We selected five different tissue types for assay to enable maximum discovery, and used the 'Chinese Spring' wheat genotype because most of the wheat GeneChip probe sequences were based on its genomic sequence. This study is the first report of using a 3' IVT expression array to discover the expression of natural sense-antisense transcript pairs, and may be considered as proof-of-concept. Results: By using alternative target preparation schemes, both the sense-and antisense-strand derived transcripts were labeled and hybridized to the Wheat GeneChip. Quality assurance verified that successful hybridization did occur in the antisense-strand assay. A stringent threshold for positive hybridization was applied, which resulted in the identification of 110 sense-antisense transcript pairs, as well as 80 potentially antisense-specific transcripts. Strand-specific RT-PCR validated the microarray observations, and showed that antisense transcription is likely to be tissue specific. For the annotated sense-antisense transcript pairs, analysis of the gene ontology terms showed a significant over-representation of transcripts involved in energy production. These included several representations of ATP synthase, photosystem proteins and RUBISCO, which indicated that photosynthesis is likely to be regulated by antisense transcripts. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the novel use of an adapted labeling protocol and a 3'IVT GeneChip array for large-scale identification of antisense transcription in wheat. The results show that antisense transcription is relatively abundant in wheat, and may affect the expression of valuable agronomic phenotypes. Future work should select potentially interesting transcript pairs for further functional characterization to determine biological activity.

TI Detection and validation of single feature polymorphisms using RNA expression data from a rice genome array SO BMC PLANT BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID OLIGONUCLEOTIDE ARRAYS; SALINITY TOLERANCE; SALT TOLERANCE AB Background: A large number of genetic variations have been identified in rice. Such variations must in many cases control phenotypic differences in abiotic stress tolerance and other traits. A single feature polymorphism (SFP) is an oligonucleotide array-based polymorphism which can be used for identification of SNPs or insertion/deletions (INDELs) for high throughput genotyping and high density mapping. Here we applied SFP markers to a lingering question about the source of salt tolerance in a particular rice recombinant inbred line (RIL) derived from a salt tolerant and salt sensitive parent. Results: Expression data obtained by hybridizing RNA to an oligonucleotide array were analyzed using a statistical method called robustified projection pursuit (RPP). By applying the RPP method, a total of 1208 SFP probes were detected between two presumed parental genotypes (Pokkali and IR29) of a RIL population segregating for salt tolerance. We focused on the Saltol region, a major salt tolerance QTL. Analysis of FL478, a salt tolerant RIL, revealed a small (< 1 Mb) region carrying alleles from the presumed salt tolerant parent, flanked by alleles matching the salt sensitive parent IR29. Sequencing of putative SFP-containing amplicons from this region and other positions in the genome yielded a validation rate more than 95%. Conclusion: Recombinant inbred line FL478 contains a small (< 1 Mb) segment from the salt tolerant parent in the Saltol region. The Affymetrix rice genome array provides a satisfactory platform for high resolution mapping in rice using RNA hybridization and the RPP method of SFP analysis.

Influenza A virus was identified from pigs and people, and the virus isolates were characterized as swine H1N1 similar to swine viruses currently circulating in the U.S. pig population. The swine isolate, A/SW/OH/511445/2007 (OH07), was evaluated in an experimental challenge and transmission study reported here. Our results indicate that the OH07 virus was pathogenic in pigs, was transmissible among pigs, and failed to cross-react with many swine HI anti-sera. Naturally exposed pigs shed virus as early as 3 days and as long as 7 days after contact with experimentally infected pigs. This suggests there was opportunity for exposure of people handling the pigs at the fair. The molecular analysis of the OH07 isolates demonstrated that the eight gene segments were similar to those of currently circulating triple reassortant swine influenza viruses. However, numerous nucleotide changes leading to amino acid changes were demonstrated in the HA gene and throughout the genome as compared to contemporary swine viruses in the same genetic cluster. It remains unknown if any of the amino acid changes were related to the ability of this virus to infect people. The characteristics of the OH07 virus in our pig experimental model as well as the documented human transmission warrant close monitoring of the spread of this virus in pig and human populations.

TI Antioxidant Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Capacity of Biofortified Carrots (Daucus carota L.) of Various Colors SO JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Antioxidant capacity; anthocyanins; carotenoids; carrots; chlorogenic acid; total phenolic content ID VITAMIN-A STATUS; BETA-CAROTENE; MONGOLIAN-GERBILS; PURPLE CARROTS; PHENOLICS; FOODS; BIOAVAILABILITY; ANTHOCYANINS; VEGETABLES; CULTIVARS AB Antioxidants and antioxidant capacity of seven colored carrots were determined. Five anthocyanins, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and four carotenoids were quantified by HPLC. Total phenolic content was determined according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant capacities of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic fractions were determined by using the 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods. The relative antioxidant capacity index was determined. Anthocyanins were the major antioxidants in purple-yellow and purple-orange carrots, and chlorogenic acid was a major antioxidant in all carrots. Carotenoids did not contribute to total antioxidant capacity, but correlated with antioxidant capacity of hydrophobic extracts. Both the DPPH and ABTS assays showed that the hydrophilic extract had higher antioxidant capacity than the hydrophobic extract. Purple-yellow carrots had the highest antioxidant capacity, followed by purple-orange carrots, and the other carrots did not significantly differ. This information is useful for consumers and may help horticulturists develop carrots with higher antioxidant capacity.

Five different types of corn, four commercial and Teosinte, were grown in the greenhouse in individual pots. For each corn type replicate stems were harvested at tassel emergence. Tissues for cell wall analysis were harvested from stems (separated into rind and pith tissues) and roots. Stem cell wall characteristics across the different corn types were similar for total neutral sugars, total uronosyls, lignin, and phenolic acids. However, the neutral sugar composition of root cell walls was markedly different, with high levels of galactose and arabinose. Levels of pCA in the different tissues ranged from 13.8 to 33.1 mg g(-1) of CW depending upon the type of tissue. There was no evidence that pCA was incorporated into cell walls attached to arabinoxylans. Lignin levels were similar within a given tissue, with pith ranging from 86.1 to 132.0 mg g(-1) of CW, rind from 178.4 to 236.6 mg g(-1) of CW, and roots from 216.5 to 242.6 mg g(-1) of CW. The higher values for lignins in root tissue may be due to suberin remaining in the acid-insoluble residue, forming Klason lignins. With the exception of root tissues, higher pCA levels accompanied higher lignin levels. This may indicate a potential role of pCA aiding lignin formation in corn cell walls during the lignification process.

Culture extracts and filtrates from this bacterium were antagonistic to the pathogenic and mycotoxic fungus Fusarium verticillioides. However, the identity of the inhibitory substance from extracts of this bacterium has not been determined. An HPLC-MS analysis of the culture filtrate showed a major ion peak that was identified as a cyclic lipopeptide. Furthermore, collisional ion dissociation (CID) analysis indicated that this lipopeptide was surfactin, a cyclic heptapeptide linked to a beta-hydroxy fatty acid. A CID analysis of the peptide moiety was established by deduction and indicated that the peptide sequence consisted of two acidic amino acids and five hydrophobic amino acids with a sequence of Leu-Leu-Asp-Val-Leu-Leu-Glu. These spectra indicated that this bacterium produced Leu(7)-surfactin, which was toxic to F verticillioides. Production of this cyclic lipopeptide is a characteristic of several species of Bacillus, but this is the first report of this very powerful biosurfactant from this endophytic species.

TI Protein fractions in forage legumes containing protein-binding polyphenols: Freeze-drying vs. conservation as hay or silage SO ANIMAL FEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Forage legumes; Polyphenol; Protein fractions; Preservation method ID TANNIN CONCENTRATION; PROTEOLYSIS; OXIDASE AB Herbaceous legumes containing protein-protecting polyphenols are frequently freeze-dried for polyphenol and forage quality analyses. In this study, Medicago sativa, Lotus corniculatus, and Trifolium pratense with similar to 200g/kg crude protein were fractionated with buffer, detergents, and protease to assess the association of protein fractions in freeze-dried herbage to hay or silage. Compared to Medicago, freeze-dried Lotus with condensed tannins (CT) and Trifolium with o-quinones had lower concentrations of buffer-soluble proteins and similar or greater concentrations of neutral-detergent insoluble protein, acid-detergent insoluble protein, and rumen-undegradable protein. Analysis of freeze-dried herbage gave reasonably accurate (R(2) >= 0.80) and unbiased predictions of acid-detergent insoluble protein in hay and silage and of rumen-undegradable protein in hay, but poorer predictions of other protein fractions. Based on rumen-undegradable protein estimates, conservation as hay or silage rather than freeze-drying enhanced protein protection by o-quinones in Trifolium but not CT in Lotus. Although commonly practiced, the analysis of freeze-dried forages will not necessarily represent most protein fractions in forages fed as hay or especially silage. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in herbage toughness and particle size in relation to diurnal fluctuations of herbage chemical composition. Vegetative (i.e, tillers with three fully expanded leaves) micro-swards of Festuca pratensis Hud. were sampled at four times of the day being: 06:50 (sunrise), 11:10, 15:30 and 19:25 h. Cut herbage was analysed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC), neutral and acid detergent fibre (aNDF, ADF), in vitro true digestibility (IVTD), toughness and particle size. The experiment was repeated on two consecutive days. Diurnal variation of temperature, relative humidity and photosynthetic radiation were recorded every 5 min with an automated weather station. To characterize the relationship between dependent variables, Pearson correlations were performed. From 06:50 to 19:25 h, DM, TNC and the proportion of small particles (<1 mm) increased (P<0.05), CP, aNDF, ADF, toughness and proportion of large particles (>4.75 mm) decreased (P<0.05) while IVTD remained constant (P>0.05). Toughness was negatively correlated (P<0.05) with DM and TNC concentrations, and positively correlated (P<0.05) with proportions of aNDF and ADF The proportion of small particles was positively correlated (P<0.05) with DM and TNC concentrations, and negatively correlated (P<0.05) with proportions of aNDF, ADF and toughness. Results suggest an effect of time of day on herbage toughness and particle size as a function of increases in DM concentration, and reductions of aNDF and ADF concentrations, due to an increase in TNC. Diurnal fluctuations in chemical composition of herbage not only result in differential nutrient supply to grazing ruminants during the day, but also in temporal fluctuations in herbage biomechanical features.

Fecal samples were subjected to density gradient centrifugation to remove debris and concentrate cysts. Specimens were analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All PCR positive specimens were sequenced using the SSU-rRNA gene of Giardia. All 30 calves shed G. duodenalis cysts at some time during the study. Of 990 specimens, 312 were positive for G. duodenalis (31.5%). The highest prevalence of infection occurred at weeks 4 and 5 of age with 25 out of 30 calves shedding cysts at those sampling times. Overall, pre-weaned calves (<8 weeks of age) exhibited the highest prevalence (60.8%), followed by post-weaned calves (3-12 months of age) (32.1%) and heifers (12-24 months of age) (11.4%). Sequence analysis of the 312 PCR-positive samples revealed the presence of both Assemblages A and E, G. duodenalis, with cumulative prevalences of 70% and 100%, respectively. Assemblage A was not detected in pre-weaned calves, but was detected in 6.9% and 4.7% of post-weaned calves and heifers, respectively. These data indicate not only that calves are infected with both Assemblages A and E simultaneously, but also that infections with zoonotic Assemblage A, G. duodenalis are more common than previously reported. Thus, calves appear to be a more significant reservoir of human infectious G. duodenalis than previous data have suggested. Published by Elsevier B.V.

In this study, we present the first large-scale genomic survey of O. ostertagi by the analysis of expressed transcripts from three stages of the parasite: third-stage larvae, fourth-stage larvae and adult worms. Using an in silico approach, 2284 genes were identified from over 7000 expressed sequence tags and abundant transcripts were analyzed and characterized by their functional profile. Of the 2284 genes, 66% had similarity to other known or predicted genes while the rest were novel and potentially represent genes specific to the species and/or stages. Furthermore, a subset of the novel proteins were structurally annotated and assigned putative function based on orthologs in Caenorhabditis elegans and corresponding RNA interference phenotypes. Hence, over 70% of the genes were annotated using protein sequences, domains and pathway databases. Differentially expressed transcripts from the two larval stages and their functional profiles were also studied leading to a more detailed understanding of the parasite's life-cycle. The identified transcripts are a valuable resource for genomic studies of O. ostertagi and can facilitate the design of control strategies and vaccine programs. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Hybridization targets were derived from previously characterized bovine cDNAs. A total of 576 reporters (473 sequence-validated cDNAs and 77 controls) were spotted onto glass slides in two sets of four replicates. Two color, comparative hybridizations across both mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and small intestine mucosa (SIM) RNA samples were done between animals with previously demonstrated phenotypic differences based on natural exposure to gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes over a 6-month exposure period. A total of 138 significant hybridization differences were detected by mixed model analysis of variance. A subset of these significant differences was validated by quantitative, real-time RT-PCR to assay transcript levels for 18 genes. These results confirmed that in the SIM, susceptible animals showed significantly higher levels in the genes encoding IGHG1, CD3E, ACTB, IRF1, CCL5 and 0, while in the MLN of resistant animals, higher levels of expression were confirmed for PTPRC, CD1D and ITGA4. Combined, the results indicate that immune responses against GI nematode infections involve multiple response pathways. Higher levels of expression for IgE receptor, integrins, complement, monocyte/macrophage and tissue factors are related to resistance. In contrast, higher levels of expression for immunoglobulin chains and TCRs are related to susceptibility. Identification of these genes provides a framework to better understand the genetic variation underlying parasite resistance. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Adult immersion test (AIT, N = 26), larval immersion test (LIT, N = 71) and larval packet test (LPT, N = 41) were standardized using susceptible strain (Mozo). Dose-response curves were compared with a fipronil resistant strain. Four variables were analyzed from AIT results: mortality, weight of eggs on day 7 and on day 14, index of fertility, and index of fecundity. For larval test, dose mortality curves were analyzed. In spite of the high LC50 variability, all variables determined for AIT were appropriate to discriminate both strains. AIT and LIT had more sensitivity than LPT, with larger resistance factors. It was used two times LC99.9 as discriminating doses (DCs) following FAO suggestion. For mortality by AIT, LIT and LPT the DCs were estimated: 4.98 ppm, 7.64 ppm and 2365.8 ppm, respectively, for Mozo strain. DCs mortality values estimated for resistant strain by AIT, LIT and LPT were: 6.96 x 10(5) ppm, 343.26 ppm and 5.7 x 10(3) ppm, respectively and their respective resistant factors were: 202.4, 5.36 and 1.52.

To further characterize the relationship of P26 and PLDs, we assessed localization and cytopathology induction of P26 expressed from either LIYV or a heterologous Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) vector using green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions, immunofluorescence microscopy, biochemical fractionation, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM analyses demonstrated that 1326 not only associated with, but induced formation of PLDs in the absence of other LIYV proteins. Interestingly, PLDs induced by P26-expressing TMV were no longer confined to phloem cells. Putative P26 orthologs from two other members of the genus Crinivirus which do not induce conspicuous PLDs exhibited fractionation properties similar to LIYV P26 but were not associated with any PLD-like cytopathology.

The relative per cent survival among low-dose immunized and then challenged fish ranged from 27.7% to 100%. Significant protection (P < 0.05), with the exception of strain ATCC-33202, was conferred by immunization with a given E. ictaluri strain challenged either with a homologous or a heterologous strain. Antibody titres of pooled serum collected on day 22 from surviving fish examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ranged from 1:40 to 1:320, but no differences were apparent among different vaccinated groups. The protein profiles of six E. ictaluri strains examined by Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed a relatively homogeneous pattern. Immuno-blots probed with pooled serum from immunized and challenged fish showed a pattern similar to LPS-reaction patterns observed with E. ictaluri in other studies. Since the present studies further corroborate that E. ictaluri is a clonal bacterial species with no apparent antigenic differences, it is possible that immunization with a single E. ictaluri field strain should confer protection against any other strain.

Arabinoxylans (AXs) are the main non-starch polysaccharides found in wheat flour. Studies showed that degradation of AXs in refrigerated dough has negative effect on quality. The objectives of this research were to structurally characterize the AXs from refrigerated dough samples and determine any correlations between the AX structural changes and variation in dough quality. We observed that the molecular weight of the AXs was changing during the extended storage, and we detected variation in arabinose to xylose ratio for water extractable and unextractable AXs. The ratio of unsubstituted xylose in water extractable AXs increased during storage. These results showed that changes in AX chemistry is correlated to the refrigerated dough quality.

Unfortunately, many feral swine damage management programs are conducted in a piecemeal fashion, are not adequately funded, and lack clearly stated or realistic objectives. This review paper identifies damage caused by feral swine to forest resources and presents techniques used to prevent and control feral swine damage. Concluding points related to planning a feral swine damage management program are: (1) the value of using a variety of techniques in an integrated fashion cannot be overstated; (2) there is value in using indices for both feral swine populations and their damage pre and post management activities; (3) innovative technologies will increasing be of value in the pursuit of feral swine damage reduction; and (4) though not appropriate in every situation, there is value in involving the public in feral swine damage management decisions and activities.

Several plots comprised each stand, and each plot was divided so that it received three fertilizer treatments: a control treatment with herbaceous weed control at planting and brush control at mid-rotation only (control); 45 kg ha(-1) N + 56 kg ha(-1) P + herbaceous weed control at planting and 224 kg ha(-1) N + 45 kg ha(-1) P + brush control at mid-rotation (fertilizer with N at planting); and 56 kg ha(-1) P + herbaceous weed control at planting and 224 kg ha-' N + 45 kg ha-' P + brush control at mid-rotation (fertilizer without N at planting). Ring width, ring earlywood specific gravity (SG). ring latewood SG, whole ring SG, and ring percent latewood were measured on each of seven trees. Of these measurements, this study focused mainly on the properties related to SG. Examination of the rings showed that latewood SG was significantly lower in trees treated with fertilizers with and without N at planting in the two to three years following fertilization, but that latewood SG gradually returned to a level similar to the control. Fertilizer without N at planting may also have had a brief negative effect on earlywood SG following mid-rotation fertilization, but it was not as clear or lasting as the effect on latewood SG. Additionally, although slash and loblolly pine appear to differ in the developmental patterns of these SG properties, there were no significant differences in how these patterns interacted with treatment. This study demonstrated that fertilization treatments have similar short-term effects on the SG of slash and loblolly pines, particularly in latewood, but the trees will return to a SG pattern consistent with unfertilized trees within two or three years.

Three hydrolyzed brewer's yeasts (FNILS65, FNI200 and FNI210), one glutamine enriched yeast (GSH), one vitamin-enriched yeast (RDA500), Korea yeast, whole cell yeasts, and combinations of them were evaluated. Adult flies fed on a diet with FNI210FNI210 + GSH and RDA500 produced the highest number of eggs in all three tested fruit fly species. However, no significant difference was seen in egg hatch from flies fed on these diets with yeast in comparison to the control standard diet. When these yeasts were incorporated into a larval liquid diet with wheat germ oil, FNI200 and FNIL65 showed significantly higher pupal recovery than those from FNI210 and better adult flying and mating than those from Korea yeast. Glutamine enriched yeast enhanced fly performance, especially with FNI200 + GSH and FNILS65 + GSH, but not vitamin enriched yeast. Among the larvae reared with FNI200 + GSH, FNILS65 + GSH and torula yeast, those reared in FNILS65 + GSH diet with wheat germ oil developed the best. In order to select the most cost-effective yeast for liquid diet, FNILS65 + GSH and wheat germ oil was combined with whole cell yeast (LBI2240 series) and compared to the control diet (conventional mill feed diet currently used in the rearing facility). A ratio of 3:1 of LBI2240 and FNILS65 + wheat germ oil was selected as the most effective yeast for oriental fruit fly liquid larval diet based on cost and performance parameters.

In all previous strains of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) selected in the laboratory for resistance to insecticidal Cry1Ac toxin using an artificial diet containing the toxin, resistance to Cry1Ac and to Bt cotton is linked to three cadherin alleles (r1, r2, and r3). In contrast, the BG(4) pink bollworm strain was selected for resistance to Bt cotton by feeding larvae for four days in each of 42 generations on bolls of 'NuCOTN33B (R)' that expressed Cry1Ac toxin. After additional selection for eleven generations on Cry1Ac-incorporated diet, the susceptibility to Cry1Ac, fecundity, egg viability, and mating of this strain (Bt4R) was compared with the unselected Cry1Ac-susceptible parent strain. Some larvae of the Bt4R strain survived on diet containing >= 10 mu g Cry1Ac per milliliter artificial diet, but none survived on transgenic cotton bolls. In contrast to strains selected exclusively on Cry1Ac diet, some survival of progeny of reciprocal moth crosses of Bt4R resistant and Bt-susceptible strains occurred on Cry1Ac-treated diet, suggesting differences in levels of dominance. The Bt4R resistant strain does not have the r1, r2, or r3 mutant cadherin genes as do all previous strains of pink bollworm selected on Cry1Ac-treated artificial diet. The combined results suggest a mechanism of resistance to Cry1Ac that is different from previously described cadherin mutations. C1 [Fabrick, J. A.; Jech, L. Forlow; Henneberry, T.

This work attempts to analyze microstructure and molecular interaction in glycerol plasticized chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends by atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Our results show that the blending films are aggregated by spherical chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blending nanoparticles. The size and aggregation behavior of these particles are closely related to glycerol content. The presence of glycerol gives rise to a continuous closing in T(g) of poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan components, suggesting an improved miscibility of the blend. Strong hydrogen bonding interaction in the blend is observed and further distinguished by peak resolution. Moreover, more interesting evidence on the effect of glycerol in the blends is provided by monitoring the structure evolution of the blend at different blending steps using atomic force microscopy. The formation of strong hydrogen bonding network among glycerol molecules and polymer matrix was considered as the main driving force to result in the changes in the microstructure and miscibility of the blend.

TI Geographic distributions of Idh-1 alleles in a cricket are linked to differential enzyme kinetic performance across thermal environments SO BMC EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID PHOSPHOGLUCOSE ISOMERASE PGI; ALLONEMOBIUS-SOCIUS; NATURAL-SELECTION; BALANCING SELECTION; ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE; DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA; REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION; GENIC HETEROZYGOSITY; TEMPERATURE OPTIMA; METABOLIC ENZYMES AB Background: Geographic clines within species are often interpreted as evidence of adaptation to varying environmental conditions. However, clines can also result from genetic drift, and these competing hypotheses must therefore be tested empirically. The striped ground cricket, Allonemobius socius, is widely-distributed in the eastern United States, and clines have been documented in both life-history traits and genetic alleles. One clinally-distributed locus, isocitrate dehydrogenase (Idh-1), has been shown previously to exhibit significant correlations between allele frequencies and environmental conditions (temperature and rainfall). Further, an empirical study revealed a significant genotype-by-environmental interaction (GxE) between Idh-1 genotype and temperature which affected fitness. Here, we use enzyme kinetics to further explore GxE between Idh-1 genotype and temperature, and test the predictions of kinetic activity expected under drift or selection. Results: We found significant GxE between temperature and three enzyme kinetic parameters, providing further evidence that the natural distributions of Idh-1 allele frequencies in A. socius are maintained by natural selection. Differences in enzyme kinetic activity across temperatures also mirror many of the geographic patterns observed in allele frequencies. Conclusion: This study further supports the hypothesis that the natural distribution of Idh-1 alleles in A. socius is driven by natural selection on differential enzymatic performance. This example is one of several which clearly document a functional basis for both the maintenance of common alleles and observed clines in allele frequencies, and provides further evidence for the non-neutrality of some allozyme alleles.

Identification of the different parameters involved in the immune response elicited against FMDV remains unclear, and it is fundamental the understanding of such parameters before effective control measures can be put in place. In the present study, we show that interleukin-10 (IL-10) production by dendritic cells (DCs) is drastically increased during acute infection with FMDV in swine. In vitro blockade of IL-10 with a neutralizing antibody against porcine IL-10 restores T cell activation by DCs. Additionally, we describe that FMDV infects DC precursors and interferes with DC maturation and antigen presentation capacity. Thus, we propose a new mechanism of virus immunity in which a non-persistent virus, FMDV, induces immunosuppression by an increment in the production of IL-10, which in turn, reduces T cell function. This reduction of T cell activity may result in a more potent induction of neutralizing antibody responses, clearing the viral infection.

Despite its substantial impact, limited effort has been expended to define the genetic and molecular make-up of this species. Considering the significant role played by late-stadia larvae in host tree decimation, a small-scale EST sequencing project was done using a cDNA library constructed from 5(th)-instar A. glabripennis. The resultant dataset consisted of 599 high quality ESTs that, upon assembly, yielded 381 potentially unique transcripts. Each of these transcripts was catalogued as to putative molecular function, biological process, and associated cellular component according to the Gene Ontology classification system. Using this annotated dataset, a subset of assembled sequences was identified that are putatively associated with A. glabripennis development and metamorphosis.

How to meander through life without crossing the confines of major chronic disease and cognitive and physical impairment remains one of the most relevant challenges for science and humankind. Delimiting that 'immaculate' trajectory - that we dub as the 'Healthy Ageing Phenotype' - and exploring solutions to help the population to stay or return to this trajectory should constitute the core focus of scientific research. Nevertheless, current efforts on ageing research are mainly focused on developing animal models to disentangle the human ageing process, and on age-related disorders often providing merely palliative solutions. Therefore, to identify alternative perspectives in ageing research, Unilever and the Medical Research Council (MRC) UK convened a Spark workshop entitled 'The Healthy Ageing Phenotype'. In this meeting, international specialists from complementary areas related to ageing research, gathered to find clear attributes and definitions of the 'Healthy Ageing Phenotype', to identify potential mechanisms and interventions to improve healthy life expectancy of the population; and to highlight areas within ageing research that should be prioritised in the future. General agreement was reached in recognising ageing research as a disaggregated field with little communication between basic, epidemiological and clinical areas of research and limited translation to society. A more holistic, multi-disciplinary approach emanating from a better understanding of healthy ageing trajectories and centred along human biological resilience, its maintenance and the reversibility, from early deviations into pathological trajectories, is urgently required. Future research should concentrate on understanding the mechanisms that permit individuals to maintain optimal health when facing pathological hazards and on developing and assessing potential interventions that could aid to re-establish resilience when lost or guarantee its integrity if present. Furthermore it is fundamental that scientific findings are translated incessantly into clear messages delivered to governmental institutions, the industry and society in general.

The future of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the U.S. hinges on sustainable practices on the part of industry and a more consistent regulatory regime. Bivalve shellfish aquaculture is a recent practice relative to its history in other countries, beginning in the late 1800s along the U.S. West Coast where it is now well established with farm raised product utilizing land-based hatcheries and grow-out directly in numerous estuaries. Bivalve shellfish aquaculture can be viewed as a disturbance which modifies the estuarine system in three ways: 1) changes in material processes - bivalves process food and produce wastes; 2) addition of physical structure - aquaculture introduces the cultured organisms and in some cases a physical anchoring structure; and 3) pulse disturbances like harvest and bed maintenance disturb sediments, remove species in addition to the cultured organisms themselves, and change resource or habitat availability. In U.S. West Coast estuaries, water column and sediment nutrient concentrations are relatively high and influenced by large tidal exchange and proximity to deeper nearshore ocean waters where upwelling controls production during summer months. Bivalves are unlikely to influence material processes except at local bed scales in these systems, although estuary-wide effects could appear as the fraction of cultured area rises or in poorly flushed bays. Bivalve culture clearly modifies estuarine habitat at local community and at landscape scales and effects are most often evaluated against existing structured habitat in the form of submerged aquatic vegetation. Individual activities act as pulse disturbances and the recovery of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to pre-disturbance levels is variable (<2 to >5 years). The extent of disturbance depends on the aquaculture practice and the distribution of eelgrass reflects a balance of space competition, pulse disturbance and recovery, and is therefore at dynamic equilibrium on aquaculture beds. Structure provided by aquaculture appears functionally similar to eelgrass for small benthic infauna and mobile epibenthic fauna while use of aquaculture as habitat by larger more mobile invertebrates and fish depends on mobility and varies with life-history stage and taxon being evaluated. Scale seems a very important management consideration and further research at estuarine landscape scales. especially for habitat use by important invertebrates and fish, may prove useful in designing and implementing best management practices. Though local and short term effects from aquaculture are clearly evident in U.S. West Coast estuaries, bivalve aquaculture does not remove area from the estuary or degrade water quality like other anthropogenic influences, and thus has not been implicated in shifts to alternate states or reduced adaptive capacity of the larger ecological system.

TI Gene discovery using massively parallel pyrosequencing to develop ESTs for the flesh fly Sarcophaga crassipalpis SO BMC GENOMICS LA English DT Article ID PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS; INSECT DIAPAUSE; DIPTERA; PROTEINS; NASONIA; EXPRESSION; HEMOLYMPH; QUALITY; BULLATA; STORAGE AB Background: Flesh flies in the genus Sarcophaga are important models for investigating endocrinology, diapause, cold hardiness, reproduction, and immunity. Despite the prominence of Sarcophaga flesh flies as models for insect physiology and biochemistry, and in forensic studies, little genomic or transcriptomic data are available for members of this genus. We used massively parallel pyrosequencing on the Roche 454-FLX platform to produce a substantial EST dataset for the flesh fly Sarcophaga crassipalpis. To maximize sequence diversity, we pooled RNA extracted from whole bodies of all life stages and normalized the cDNA pool after reverse transcription. Results: We obtained 207,110 ESTs with an average read length of 241 bp. These reads assembled into 20,995 contigs and 31,056 singletons. Using BLAST searches of the NR and NT databases we were able to identify 11,757 unique gene elements (E<0.0001) representing approximately 9,000 independent transcripts. Comparison of the distribution of S. crassipalpis unigenes among GO Biological Process functional groups with that of the Drosophila melanogaster transcriptome suggests that our ESTs are broadly representative of the flesh fly transcriptome. Insertion and deletion errors in 454 sequencing present a serious hurdle to comparative transcriptome analysis. Aided by a new approach to correcting for these errors, we performed a comparative analysis of genetic divergence across GO categories among S. crassipalpis, D. melanogaster, and Anopheles gambiae. The results suggest that non-synonymous substitutions occur at similar rates across categories, although genes related to response to stimuli may evolve slightly faster. In addition, we identified over 500 potential microsatellite loci and more than 12,000 SNPs among our ESTs. Conclusion: Our data provides the first large-scale EST-project for flesh flies, a much-needed resource for exploring this model species. In addition, we identified a large number of potential microsatellite and SNP markers that could be used in population and systematic studies of S. crassipalpis and other flesh flies.

TI Flocculation of kaolin by waxy maize starch phosphates SO CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERS LA English DT Article DE Starch; Phosphorylation; Flocculation ID CATIONIC STARCH; DERIVATIVES; PHOSPHORYLATION AB Waxy maize starch phosphates were tested as flocculants in order to determine if they have the potential to replace petroleum-based polymer flocculants currently used commercially. Phosphorylation was carried out by dry heating of starches and sodium orthophosphates at 140 degrees C for 4 h. Native and phosphorylated waxy maize starches were ineffective as flocculants for kaolin in deionized water. However. in the presence of small amounts of Ca(2+) (1-4 mM), starch phosphates were effective flocculants of kaolin at concentrations as low at 3-4 ppm. The optimal degree of substitution (DS) for flocculation was 0.024 but the effect of DS was rather small over the range DS 0.007-0.08. Although a common synthetic polymer flocculant (polyacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) was effective at I ppm, the lower cost of starches should make them economically competitive.

TI Infection of Melanoplus sanguinipes Grasshoppers following Ingestion of Rangeland Plant Species Harboring Vesicular Stomatitis Virus SO APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CULICOIDES-SONORENSIS DIPTERA; NEW-JERSEY; TRANSMISSION; CERATOPOGONIDAE; SEROTYPE; VECTOR; MULTIPLICATION; PATHOGENESIS; RHABDOVIRUS; INDIANA AB Knowledge of the many mechanisms of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) transmission is critical for understanding of the epidemiology of sporadic disease outbreaks in the western United States. Migratory grasshoppers [Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabricius)] have been implicated as reservoirs and mechanical vectors of VSV. The grasshopper-cattle-grasshopper transmission cycle is based on the assumptions that (i) virus shed from clinically infected animals would contaminate pasture plants and remain infectious on plant surfaces and (ii) grasshoppers would become infected by eating the virus-contaminated plants. Our objectives were to determine the stability of VSV on common plant species of U. S. Northern Plains rangelands and to assess the potential of these plant species as a source of virus for grasshoppers. Fourteen plant species were exposed to VSV and assayed for infectious virus over time (0 to 24 h). The frequency of viable virus recovery at 24 h postexposure was as high as 73%. The two most common plant species in Northern Plains rangelands (western wheatgrass [Pascopyrum smithii] and needle and thread [Hesperostipa comata]) were fed to groups of grasshoppers. At 3 weeks postfeeding, the grasshopper infection rate was 44 to 50%. Exposure of VSV to a commonly used grasshopper pesticide resulted in complete viral inactivation. This is the first report demonstrating the stability of VSV on rangeland plant surfaces, and it suggests that a significant window of opportunity exists for grasshoppers to ingest VSV from contaminated plants. The use of grasshopper pesticides on pastures would decrease the incidence of a virus-amplifying mechanical vector and might also decontaminate pastures, thereby decreasing the inter- and intraherd spread of VSV.

Thus, we assessed whether estrogen stimulates glucose uptake or enhances insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. Ex vivo muscle Stimulation with 17 beta-estradiol (10 nM) resulted in a rapid (<= 10 min) increase in the phosphorylation of Akt, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and TBC1D1/4, key signaling Proteins that regulate glucose uptake in muscle. Treatment with the estrogen receptor antagonist, ICI 182,780, only partly inhibited signaling, suggesting both an estrogen receptor-dependent and independent mechanism of estradiol action. 17 beta-Estradiol did not stimulate ex vivo muscle [(3)H]-2-deoxyglucose Uptake or enhance insulin-induced glucose Uptake, demonstrating discordance between the estradiol-induced stimulation of signaling proteins and muscle glucose uptake. This study is the first to demonstrate that estradiol stimulates Akt, AMPK, and TBC1D1/4 in intact skeletal muscle, but surprisingly, estradiol does not stimulate muscle glucose uptake.

Insect kinins regulate diuresis in many species of insects. Compounds with similar biological activity could be exploited for the control of arthropod pest populations such as the mosquito Aedes aegypti (L) and the southern cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini), vectors of human and animal pathogens, respectively. Insect kinins, however, are susceptible to fast enzymatic degradation by endogenous peptidases that severely limit their use as tools for pest control or for endocrinological studies. To enhance resistance to peptidases, analogs of the insect kinins incorporating bulky alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acids in positions adjacent to both primary and secondary peptidase hydrolysis sites were synthesized. In comparison with a control insect kinin, several of these analogs are highly stable to hydrolysis by degradative enzymes ANCE, neprilysin and Leucine aminopeptidase. Six analogs were evaluated by calcium bioluminescence assay on recombinant receptors from mosquito and tick. Four of these analogs either matched or exceeded the potency of the control kinin peptide agonist. One of these was about 5-fold more potent than the control agonist on the tick receptor. This analog was 8-fold more potent than the control agonist on the mosquito receptor, and twice more potent than the endogenous Aedes kinin-II. The analog also demonstrated potent activity in an in vitro Aedes Malpighian tubule fluid secretion assay. Similar comparisons of analog potency cannot be made to tick kinins because no endogenous kinin has yet been identified.

TI Variations in soil properties and herbicide sorption coefficients with depth in relation to PRZM (pesticide root zone model) calculations SO GEODERMA LA English DT Article DE 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; Glyphosate; Herbicide sorption coefficients; Soil properties; Landform element; Soil depth; Pesticide root zone model; Sensitivity analyses; Leaching ID LONG-TERM TILLAGE; AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES; SPATIAL VARIABILITY; HUMIC SUBSTANCES; 2,4-D SORPTION; ADSORPTION; GLYPHOSATE; REDISTRIBUTION; DEGRADATION; TRANSPORT AB There are few experimental data available on how herbicide sorption coefficients change across small increments within soil profiles. Soil profiles were obtained from three landform elements in a strongly-eroded agricultural field and segmented into 2-cm intervals to 0.6 m depth in the knoll (eroded-upper slope), to 1.0 m depth in the toeslope (deposition zone) and to 1.6 m depth in the trough (eroded waterway). Soil samples were analyzed for soil organic carbon content (SOC) (n = 154), soil pH (n = 155), soil carbonate content (n = 126), CEC (n = 126), soil texture (n = 32), bulk density (n = 160), 2,4-D 12,4(dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] or glyphosate [N-phosphonomethylglycine] sorption by soil (Kd) (n = 90), and 2,4-D or glyphosate sorption per unit soil organic carbon (Koc) (n = 90). Considering all soil profiles, 2.4-D Kd values ranged from 0.12 to 2.61 L kg(-1) and were most strongly influenced by variations in SOC. In contrast, glyphosate Kd values ranged from 19 to 547 L kg(-1) and were predominantly controlled by variations in soil pH and clay content. Two hundred and fifty-two PRZM (pesticide root zone model) version 3.12.2 simulations were also performed. PRZM predicted that glyphosate would be immobile in soils even under an extreme rainfall scenario of 384 mm at one day after herbicide application. In contrast, for 2,4-D, PRZM predicted that up to 6% of the applied herbicide would move to a 15 cm depth under an actual rainfall scenario. PRZM output was particularly sensitive to input values of Kd, relative to input values of soil properties. The greatest change to PRZM outputs occurred when Kd values of toeslope profiles, ranging from 0.16 to 1.77 L kg(-1), were replaced by those measured in knoll profiles, ranging from 0.12 to 0.50 L kg(-1), when the amount of 2,4-D leached to a 15 cm depth increased by 29,081% (from 0.09 to 26.17 g ha-1) under an actual rainfall scenario. We conclude that, when pesticide fate models such as PRZM are being used in policy analyses at larger-scales, data on Kd values in different landform elements and at the soil horizon level could be important for strengthening pesticide leaching predictions.

TI Examining the physical meaning of the bank erosion coefficient used in meander migration modeling SO GEOMORPHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Fluvial geomorphology; Bank erosion; Meandering; Riparian vegetation; Alluvial rivers; Erodibility ID MEADOW RIPARIAN VEGETATION; STREAMBANK EROSION; SACRAMENTO RIVER; CHANNEL MIGRATION; FLOW; USA; ERODIBILITY; STABILITY; CALIFORNIA; SIMULATION AB Widely used models of meander evolution relate migration rate to vertically averaged near-bank velocity through the use of a coefficient of bank erosion (E). In applications to floodplain management problems, E is typically determined through calibration to historical planform changes, and thus its physical meaning remains unclear. This study attempts to clarify the extent to which E depends on measurable physical characteristics of the channel boundary materials using data from the Sacramento River, California, USA. Bend-average values of E were calculated from measured long-term migration rates and computed near-bank velocities. In the field, unvegetated bank material resistance to fluvial shear (k) was measured for four cohesive and noncohesive bank types using a jet-test device. At a small set of bends for which both E and k were obtained, we discovered that variability in k explains much of the variability in E. The form of this relationship suggests that when modeling long-term meander migration of large rivers, E depends largely on bank material properties. This finding opens up the possibility that E may be estimated directly from field data, enabling prediction of meander migration rates for systems where historical data are unavailable or controlling conditions have changed. Another implication is that vegetation plays a limited role in affecting long-term meander migration rates of large rivers like the Sacramento River. These hypotheses require further testing with data sets from other large rivers. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Lidar data have proven particularly useful for measuring or estimating a suite of forest structural attributes Such as canopy height. basal area, and LAI. However, the potential of this technology to characterize forest succession remains largely untested. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of lidar data for characterizing forest successional stages across a structurally diverse. mixed-species forest in Northern Idaho. We used a variety of lidar-derived metrics in conjunction with an algorithmic modeling procedure (Random Forests) to classify six stages of three-dimensional forest development and achieved an overall accuracy>95%. The algorithmic model presented herein developed ecologically meaningful classifications based upon lidar metrics quantifying mean vegetation height and canopy cover, among others. This study highlights the utility of lidar data for accurately classifying forest succession in complex, mixed coniferous forests: but further research should be conducted to classify forest successional stages across different forests types. The techniques presented herein can be easily applied to other areas. Furthermore, the final classification map represents a significant advancement for forest succession modeling and wildlife habitat assessment. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Based on their tissue localization, ultrastructural features, and expression of surface markers, two subpopulations of cells were isolated, CD45(+) interdigitating dendritic cells (IDCs) and CD45(-) follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). IDCs expressed MHC class I, MHC class II, and selectin, induced the proliferation of allogeneic naive CD4(+) T cells, and increased the secretion of IFN-gamma by autologous T cells. FDCs expressed surface IgG, IgM, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1, stimulated the proliferation of LPS-treated allogeneic B cells, and augmented the secretion of IgG by LPS-treated autologous B cells. Final cell yields were 6 x 10(5) to 8 X 10(5) cells per chicken with > 95% purity. In summary, this combination of methods using Abs against E tenella and CD45 made it possible for the first time to obtain a highly enriched IDCs and FDCs which are functionally active in chickens. This novel method will enable the detailed biochemical and immunological characterizations of avian dendritic cells and facilitate the investigation of their role in initiating immune response in normal and disease states.

TI Mapping giant reed with QuickBird imagery in the Mexican portion of the Rio Grande Basin SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE giant reed; QuickBird imagery; area estimation; image classification; Rio Grande Basin; invasive weed ID SATELLITE IMAGERY; PLANTS AB Giant reed (Arundo donax L.) is a perennial invasive weed that presents a severe threat to agroecosystems and riparian areas in the Texas and Mexican portions of the Rio Grande Basin. The objective of this study was to use QuickBird satellite imagery to map giant reed infestations and estimate infested areas in the Mexican portion of the Rio Grande Basin (MPRGB). Intensive ground surveys were conducted and global positioning system (GPS) points were collected to document the locations along major tributaries and other infested areas in the MPRGB. To map the scattered infestations, QuickBird image scenes covering a total area of 7190 square km are needed. In this study, 40 archived and newly-tasked QuickBird image scenes acquired from 2002 to 2007 and covering a total area of 3252 square km were used. These images were classified using a maximum likelihood classifier and the areas for giant reed and water in each scene were determined. The total giant reed-infested area determined from the 40 images was 2160 ha. Since the 40 images constituted about 45.2% of the total area to be imaged, the total infested area in the MPRGB was estimated to be 4775 ha. Based on the images acquired along the tributaries, the ratio of giant reed-infested area to water area was 1.6 ha/ha and the ratio of giant reed-infested area to river length was 4.6 ha/km. Although actual infested areas are larger than the estimated areas because some of the infested areas may have not been counted during the ground surveys, this study provides the first and accurate estimates of giant reed infestations in the MPRGB. These results will be useful for both land owners and government agencies for the management and control of this invasive weed.

Because little is known about the quantities of these compounds in both sweet and pungent pepper fruits, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to identify and quantify the capsinoids (naturally present E-capsiate and dihydrocapsiate) utilizing fruit obtained from a variety of Capsicum spp. in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Capsicum germplasm collection. Capsinoids were extracted with acetonitrile, filtered, and analyzed using an HPLC system equipped with a C(18) monolithic column, gradient pump, and diode array detector. The elution solvents were acetonitrile and water (60:40) with an isocratic flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Forty-nine samples representing distinct morphotypes of four cultivated species (C. annuum var. annuum, C. annuum var. glabriusculum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, and C. frutescens) contained detectable levels (11-369 mu g/g) of E-capsiate quantified at a wavelength of 280 nm. Nine of the E-capsiate-containing samples also had dihydrocapsiate (18-86 mu g/g).

A recovery of more than 90% in oranges and lemons was obtained. Potassium sorbate residues determined by this method and a standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method were similar. Residues were proportionate to the potassium sorbate concentration in the treatment solution. In oranges stored at 15 degrees C, following the potassium sorbate treatments, residues declined initially rapidly and later more slowly, until residues stopped declining after 6 days. A brief double-dip rinse in tap water applied immediately after immersion of lemons in a 2% (wt/vol) potassium sorbate removed more than 90% of the potassium sorbate residue. The influence of high-pressure water washing (HPWW) on potassium sorbate residues in potassium-sorbate-treated fruit was determined. Potassium sorbate residues were more effectively reduced by rinsing oranges than lemons. C1 [Montesinos-Herrero, Clara; Palou, Lluis] IVIA, Ctr Tecnol Postcollita, Valencia 46113, Spain.

Several studies have investigated the various nonvolatile and volatile components of various plant parts; however, the volatile organic compound (VOC) emission of almonds from a single cultivar has not been studied over the course of a growing season. This aspect is particularly relevant to research concerning the navel orangeworm (NOW), a major insect pest of almonds and other tree nuts. Despite the continued presence of NOW, the identification of particular VOCs and their relationship to NOW have not been addressed. The VOC emission of Nonpareil almonds was collected in situ over the course of a growing season by solid-phase microextraction (SPME).

Two common hypotheses, increased resource availability and enemy release, may more effectively explain invasion if they favor the same species, and therefore act in concert. This would be expected if plant species adapted to high levels of available resources in their native range are particularly susceptible to enemies, and therefore benefit most from a paucity of enemies in their new range. We tested this possibility by examining how resource adaptations influence pathogen richness and release among 243 European plant species naturalized in the United States. Plant species adapted to higher resource availability hosted more pathogen species in their native range. Plants from mesic environments hosted more fungi than plants from xeric environments, and plants from nitrogen-rich environments hosted more viruses than plants from nitrogen-poor environments. Furthermore, plants classified as competitors hosted more than 4 times as many fungi and viruses as did stress tolerators. Patterns of enemy release mirrored those of pathogen richness: competitors and species from mesic and nitrogen-rich environments were released from many pathogen species, while stress tolerators and species from xeric and nitrogen-poor environments were released from relatively few pathogen species. These results suggest that enemy release contributes most to invasion by fast-growing species adapted to resource-rich environments. Consequently, enemy release and increases in resource availability may act synergistically to favor exotic over native species.

TI Characterization of fecal microbiota from a Salmonella endemic cattle herd as determined by oligonucleotide fingerprinting of rDNA genes SO VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Ecology; Cattle; Food safety; Communities; Intestinal; Gut; 16S rDNA gene ID CULTURE-INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS; BACTERIAL-POPULATIONS; DAIRY HERDS; HYBRIDIZATION; DIVERSITY; PROBES; FECES AB The gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota is composed of complex communities. For all species examined thus far, culture and molecular analyses show that these communities are highly diverse and individuals harbor unique consortia. The objective of the current work was to examine inter-individual diversity of cattle fecal microbiota and determine whether Salmonella shedding status correlated with community richness or evenness parameters. Using a ribosomal gene array-based approach, oligonucleotide fingerprinting of ribosomal genes (OFRG), we analyzed 1440 16S genes from 19 fecal samples obtained from a cattle herd with a history of salmonellosis. Identified bacteria belonged to the phyla Firmicutes (53%), Bacteroidetes (17%), and Proteobacteria (17%). Sequence analysis of 16S rDNA gene clones revealed that Spirochaetes and Verrucomicrobia were also present in the feces. The majority of Firmicutes present in the feces belonged to the order Clostridiales, which was verified via dot blot analysis. beta-Proteobacteria represented 1.5% of the bacterial community as determined by real-time PCR. Statistical analysis of the 16S libraries from the 19 animals indicated very high levels of species richness and evenness, such that individual libraries represented unique populations. Finally, this study did not identify species that prevented Salmonella colonization or resulted from Salmonella colonization. (C) Published by Elsevier B.V.

The current study compared the effectiveness of oral and intraperitoneal (IP) methods of experimental inoculation and two strains of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (strain K-10 and clinical isolate 509) on the level of infection and lesion development. Calves were inoculated with 4 x 10(11) to 8 X 10(12) cfu live bacteria, depending upon treatment group. Fecal shedding of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis was minimal and infrequent over the course of the study for calves that received strain K-10 (oral and IP), however, calves orally inoculated with the clinical isolate shed high numbers of bacteria in their feces up to 4 months post-inoculation. Colonization was present in a number of intestinal tissues and lymph nodes with the lowest number of affected tissues in the IP calves and the highest for calves receiving the clinical isolate via oral inoculation. Microscopic lesions were predominantly found in the ileal and jejunal sections of small intestine and their associated lymph nodes, as well as the ileocecal valve and node. These data suggest that a variety of experimental infection regimes can be effective but oral inoculation with a clinical isolate may result in greater colonization of tissues and fecal shedding of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis.

The purpose of the present study was to determine if protective immunity against E. maxima challenge infection developed in chickens infected with both E. praecox and E. maxima. Day-old chickens were infected with 10(3) E. praecox, 10(3) E. maxima, or a mixture of 10(3) E. praecox and 10(3) E. maxima oocysts. Chickens were then challenged at 4 weeks of age with 5 x 10(4) E. praecox or 5 x 10(3) E. maxima oocysts and clinical signs of coccidiosis were assessed 7 days post-challenge. Relative to non-challenged controls, naive chickens or chickens immunized with E praecox displayed a 32-34% weight gain depression after challenge with 5 x 10(3) E. maxima oocysts. In contrast, chickens immunized with either E. maxima oocysts alone or a combination of E. praecox and E. maxima oocysts displayed complete protection against lower weight gain associated with E. maxima challenge. Also, protection against decreased feed conversion ratio and intestinal lesions was observed in single E. maxima- or dual E. maxima + E. praecox-immunized chickens. These findings indicate that co-infection of chickens with E. maxima and E. praecox does not prevent development of immunity against E. maxima or E. praecox challenge. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Sera from white-tailed deer from Minnesota and Iowa were tested for antibodies to N. caninum by four serologic tests including the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test (cut-off 1:25), Neospora caninum agglutination test (cut-off 1:25), an enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay, and Western blot (WB). Sera were also tested for antibodies to T. gondii using the modified agglutination test (cut-off 1:25). Of 62 adult deer from Minnesota antibodies to T. gondii were found in 20 (32.2%), N. caninum in 44 (71%), with dual infections in 18 deer. Of 170 (73 fawns, 9 yearlings, 88 adults) deer from Iowa, T. gondii antibodies were present in 91 (53.5%) with 37.0, 55.6 and 67.0% seropositivity in fawns, yearlings, and adults, respectively. Antibodies to N. caninum were found in 150 of 170 (88.2%) by any of the 3 tests (99 by Western blots, 135 by ELISA, 106 by IFA, and 118 by NAT). Dual infections with T. gondii and N. caninum were detected in 47 deer. Very high (84.9%) seropositivity of N. caninum in fawns suggests high rate of congenital transmission of the parasite. Seropositivity in each test at different titers is discussed. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Dubey, J. P.; Jenkins, M. C.; Kwok, O. C.

Distribution, comparative biogeography, biology, and potential in biological control of Tamarix in North America are reviewed. Diorhabda elongata is circummediterranean, favoring Mediterranean and temperate forests of Italy to western Turkey. Diorhabda carinata resides in warm temperate grasslands, deserts, and forests of southern Ukraine south to Iraq and east to western China. Diorhabda sublineata occupies Mediterranean woodlands from France to North Africa and subtropical deserts east to Iraq. Diorhabda carinulata primarily inhabits cold temperate deserts of Mongolia and China west to Russia and south to montane grasslands and warm deserts in southern Iran. Diorhabda meridionalis primarily occupies maritime subtropical deserts of southern Pakistan and Iran to Syria. Northern climatypes of D. carinulata are effective in Tamarix biological control, especially in the Great Basin desert. Diorhabda elongata is probably best suited to Mediterranean woodlands of northern California. Northern climatypes of D. carinata may be best suited for central U. S. grasslands.
