Gramene (http://www.gramene.org) is a knowledgebase for comparative functional analysis in major crops and model plant species. The current release, #54, includes over 1.7 million genes from 44 reference genomes, most of which were organized into 62,367 gene families through orthologous paralogous classification, whole-genome alignments, synteny. Additional annotations include ontology-based protein structure function; genetic, epigenetic, phenotypic diversity; pathway associations....
Black cherry (Prunus serotina) is a North American tree that rapidly invading European forests. This species was introduced first as an ornamental plant then it massively planted by foresters in many countries but its origins and the process of invasion remain poorly documented. Based on genetic survey both native invasive ranges, history black investigated identifying putative source populations assessing importance multiple introductions maintenance gene diversity. Genetic variability...
The oomycete Plasmopara viticola, which causes downy mildew, is currently one of the most destructive pathogens affecting grape production. Although native to eastern United States, P. viticola was introduced into Europe in mid-to-late 1800s and now found virtually every grape-growing region world. Since its discovery, much effort has been made understand life cycle infection process pathogen develop more effective management practices. Widespread application fungicides, especially those...
Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank) tubers undergo a period of endodormancy that is characterized by cell division arrest. At the time harvest, used in this study were completely endodormant (i.e. 0% sprouting). After 120 days storage at 3°C, transferred to 20°C had begun exit and exhibited ca 50% sprouting. 223 3°C storage, nondormant 100% Based on flow cytometry, about 70% nuclei isolated from meristems are arrested G 1 /G 0 phase cycle. Storage did not alter cycle position...
This study aimed to evaluate the sensory and physical characteristics of zingibain-injected meat combined with sous vide cooking. M. biceps femoris (BF; n = 12) acquired from 6–7 year old Angus cows were cooked using method at 65 °C, for 8 h or 12 h, either ginger powder (GP) injected in a 2 g/L solution water (treatment) un-injected (control). The attributes included flavour, juiciness, tenderness, physicochemical Warner-Bratzler shear (WBSF), hardness, total content (TWC), cooking loss...
Male non-replacement calves in dairy systems represent an underutilized economic resource for producers worldwide. Despite this, increasing the practice of rearing male has significant barriers both on-farm adoption and practice. Poor neonatal practices, higher levels morbidity mortality, disaggregated production pathways with multiple points handling, have all been described as to surplus calf production. To identify critical decision-determining challenges associated broader raising stock,...
In Arabidopsis thalinana (L.) Heynh., DHDPS1 and DHDPS2 encode orthologous dihydrodipicolinate synthases (DHDPS), the first enzyme of lysine (Lys) biosynthesis pathway. A TDNA insertion mutant dhdps2 was previously reported to be viable accumulate free threonine (Thr). Analysis additional lines showed that dhdps1 mutants are both whereas Thr, plants do not. Thr-accumulation complemented by heterologous expression Escherichia coli DapA, indicating phenotype is due reduced DHDPS activity in...
Norway is the largest sheep meat producer among Nordic countries with more than 1.3 million lambs and slaughtered in 2017. The industry limited by need for in-house feeding during winter months. In summer, Norwegian are mainly kept on rangeland pastures, sufficient feed almost double current population. Lambs over a three- to four-month period from September December peak September–October, providing surplus of lamb, much which subsequently frozen, followed eight months fresh produce supply....
Abstract Gnomoniopsis castaneae is an important, destructive pathogen of Castanea species, initially identified as the primary agent nut rot in Europe and Oceania. Although a decade research has focused almost exclusively on its association with activity chestnuts, it been mild or endophyte multiple other hardwood whose roles potential reservoirs hosts have remained unexplored. origin disease unknown, thought to be ubiquitous that potentially shifted pathogenic result global climate change....
The reporter gene β-glucuronidase, under the control of 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus, was introduced into a suspension-cultured cell line Pinusradiata using electroporation and particle bombardment. Electroporation suspension-derived protoplasts in presence pBI221 resulted transient β-glucuronidase activity. Maximum levels activity were obtained 24 h after field strengths 1000 V/cm but decreased to background within 48 h. This decrease corresponded drop protoplast viability...
Artemisia vulgaris L. was collected from various regions in the USA and Montreal Canada. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry used to identify analytes present volatiles extracted by headspace solid-phase microextraction of crushed leaves flowers. Four distinct chemotypes are were found: One featuring coexistence ar-curcumene α-zingiberene; two marked presence or absence thujone santolinatriene; a fourth characterized crysanthenyl acetate (40%). DNA confirm identity
