Abstract:
... Rickettsia-like organisms (RLO) are obligate, often highly fastidious, intracellular bacterial parasites associated with a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Despite their importance as causative agents of severe mortality outbreaks in farmed aquatic species, little is known about their life cycle and their host range. The present work reports the characterization of "Candidatus Cryptop ...

Subject:
cultivars; pollination; fruits; honey bees; fruit set; flowers; Bombus; passion fruits; pollen; Israel
Abstract:
... Honeybees are the only pollinator of the Israeli passionfruit cultivar ‘Passion Dream’. The big flower opens in the morning with its three stigmas standing erect, far from the five stamens. Honeybees visit a flower at this stage, usually collect all the pollen, and perform poor pollination. At noon, when the stigmas have bent over and lie closer to the anthers, the bees ignore these flowers. Hand ...

However, high levels of repellency have also been reported under vegetation types not affected ...

Calluna vulgaris; gynoecium; histology; horticulture; industry; mutation; phenotype
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The ornamental crop Calluna vulgaris is of increasing importance to the horticultural industry in the northern hemisphere due to a flower organ mutation: the flowers of the 'bud-flowering' phenotype remain closed i.e. as buds throughout the total flowering period and thereby maintain more colorful flowers for a longer period of time than the wild-type. This feature is accompanied and p ...

Abstract:
... The use of acacia wood for the aging of vinegars is increasing because the efficient air transfer through the pores permits a good acetification rate. In this study, vinegars aged in acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia) wood barrels were analyzed and found to contain a characteristic compound, which increased during the aging process. This so far unknown compound was isolated by semipreparative LC and st ...

Abstract:
... The anionic polymerization of butadiene initiated with 1,4-dilithio-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutane (LiTPB) in diethyl ether (DEE) gives polybutadiene (PBD) with high 1,2 content (>70%), narrow polydispersities (1.04 < Mw/Mn < 1.20), and predicted molecular weights. In THF, this polymerization does not work very well. After removal of DEE and addition of THF, the PBD dianion is end capped quantitatively ...

A collection of 233 rhizobia strains from 30 different sites across Saskatchewan, Canada was assayed for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity, with 27 of the strains displaying activity. When all 27 strains were characterized based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, it was noted that 26 strains are close to Rhizobium leguminosarum and one strain is close to Rhizobium gallicum. Polym ...

Abstract:
... Cherimoya, a typical climacteric fruit, is very susceptible to postharvest losses, due to rapid softening. It has been reported that xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XET) and expansins (EXP) contribute to fruit softening while 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is used to delay softening in many fruit. However, the effects of 1-MCP on cherimoya fruit softening and in relation to the expression of XET a ...

Abstract:
... Anammox, the oxidation of ammonium with nitrite to dinitrogen gas under anoxic conditions, is an important process in mesophilic environments such as wastewaters, oceans and freshwater systems, but little is known of this process at elevated temperatures. In this study, we investigated anammox in microbial mats and sediments obtained from several hot springs in California and Nevada, using geochem ...

Abstract:
... To determine phylogenetic groups of clostridia inhabiting the mouse intestine that are essential for normalization of germfree (GF) mice. Using both the culture method and cloning, clostridia inhabiting the mouse intestine were isolated, and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences was carried out. As a result, the isolates were found to have novel sequences, and no isolate was deter ...

Abstract:
... For cultivation-independent and highly parallel analysis of members of the genus Burkholderia, an oligonucleotide microarray (phylochip) consisting of 131 hierarchically nested 16S rRNA gene-targeted oligonucleotide probes was developed. A novel primer pair was designed for selective amplification of a 1.3 kb 16S rRNA gene fragment of Burkholderia species prior to microarray analysis. The diagnost ...

Abstract:
... Ecologically relevant indicators of endocrine disruption in fish must be linked with measures of reproductive success. The ability of male fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) to compete for, maintain, and defend a spawning substrateis paramount to reproductive success. The present study quantified alterations in male fathead minnow reproductive behaviors after exposure to environmentally relevan ...

Abstract:
... Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the primary mechanism that removes bulky DNA adducts such as those caused by ubiquitous environmental mutagens including benzo(a)pyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Recent data suggest that exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of estrogen decreases hepatic mRNA abundance of several key NER genes in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). How ...
